You can have a stack of resumes to go through to eliminate those who never should have applied. You want to make calls about a few, find out a little more about them.<br /><br />Scheduling for interviews is time-consuming. Busy people, who also have their own job to be doing, just put it off. <br /><br />To the one who is seeking work, it feels personal. To the ones trying to find THE ONE who will play well with others, who will fit into the team, it can be an overwhelming task to find the smallest minute to do the work that goes into hiring. <br /><br />LOL, one of the questions we used in interviews was "what is your favorite fast food." People who said they prefer to pack their own lunches were OK, but anyone who said "Oh, I always leave the office to clear my head" or "I run at lunch" or anything like that pretty much eliminated themselves, because probably three days a week we all ordered out because there were just too few hours in the day to get our work done. Lunch was a real luxury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
