When we need to hire someone who’s a painter, construction worker, car mechanic, mason or some other occupation that includes using ones hands, we might ask ourselves:

Are their hands dirty?

This question could help determine if they’re the ones doing the work, or instead, are they watching, supervising and managing others, possibly claiming it’s their own.

Who would you rather speak to when a specific hands-on job is needed or a detailed answer is required?

Someone with clean, soft, nicely manicured hands or dirty, grimy, calloused, hard-working hands?

So the question(s) for you:

How dirty are your hands?

Could they be dirtier?
