Every 17th of March, people all over the world celebrate the life of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of the Irish people.
The people of Ireland celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick to honor the life and commemorate the death of the man who among many things is legendary for being known all over Ireland as the man who drove snakes out of the entire country.
In the corporate world, a different kind danger exists in being snake bitten by hiring candidate that may fall into a troublesome category such as drug abusers, thieves, sex offenders or perhaps someone unqualified for a position.
