I mentioned last week that I got approval to advertise for and hire a student assistant to help me out at work. I had a host of people call me interested in the job and am doing interviews this week. Whoever ends up taking this job will be starting next week Wednesday. I am SO excited about that, too.
The interviews have been a new experience for me. I’ve sat in on interviews, been part of an interview committee, and conducted interviews for finalists screened by others, but this is the first time I’ve done it all, start to finish. And, I have to say, I’m enjoying meeting the applicants a great deal … but it’s going to break my heart only to hire one of them.
