Dragons Den

I sat on the interview panel today. It sure was different to sit on the other side of the table. I got to ask questions and give people the evil eye and make them all tremble in fear. Ha! :)

Actually, the Allied Health Professionals conducted our interviews for assistants in various hospitals on various terms and contracts today. We were all looking for the best and we knew we may have to fight it out to grab the ones we wanted. I was the youngest member on the panel and sure was not looking to get pushed around.

So we ran through the candidates. It was pretty amazing to see the backgrounds and the experience they all brought to the table. I didn't imagine something like this could generate interest in so many different people. Nevertheless, most of the interview was conducted in cantonese, with a quick three line reading test in the begining which had a grammatical error in it anyway. We got tired listening to people reading it wrong, and corrected it after a few candidates.

Obviously there were people everyone wanted. So we had to bargain and trade off, a bit like Dragons Den really, you strike a deal, hedge your bets... I am hoping my first choice likes me enough to agree to work with me. My second choice is also pretty ok, but his trousers are worn a bit too high for my liking. My final choice is the one I am probably going to get. The person is young, inexperienced and probably still drifting through early adulthood looking for something interesting to do. If there is nothing to come out of this, at least he will be a sight for sore eyes *sly grin*.

I haven't told the boss about how cute he looks yet, but I am sure all the grannies would like him. And finally, I will no longer look like the intern!
