First impressions

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

People have varying attitudes to first impressions; some say trust them, others say don't. Well, I've always trusted them and they have rarely let me down. Had a guy once turn up for interview but I was busy on the phone so he talked to my secretary in the outer office. I looked at the back of his head through the doorway and thought 'tosser'. And so he proved to be at interview.
Yes, I know this may seem cruel but remember the golden rule of recruitment : 'If in doubt, don't employ.' It is far more cruel to employ them and fire them than never to have employed them at all.
