1. Apply for a job in the childcare for Kate's morning Family Literacy class.
2. Interview with Kate.
3. Listen carefully when Kate says, "It's really important that you are on time and reliable. A lot of people are counting on you to make the program successful."
4. Ask Kate when you're supposed to start.
5. Listen carefully when Kate says, "Tomorow."
6. Fail to show up for work the following day and don't call, either.
Success guaranteed.

oh, no. Sorry, Kate. The upside, I guess, is that you still have a fresh pile of resumes to go back through...Have a good weekend.

Ugh. All that time lost. I have never had a job where I had to hire people in person. I analyze written psychological tests of hopefuls and sometimes watch them on tape, but I never have the final say.
I wonder what my track record would be since I am supposedly so good at knowing who would be a good hire.
Actually, Maria, with all the hiring I'm having to do lately, I often wish you were here to lend your expertise.
I"m backing off
Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.
That is the worst part about hiring in child care. Between the no shows for interviews and the no shows for work an incredible amount of time gets sucked down the drain, never to be recovered.
I don't think it would irritate me so much if it were a job where paperwork wasn't getting completed, or lattes weren't being made (not that completing paperwork and making people's morning lattes aren't important in their own right). But why interview and accept a job taking care of children if you aren't going to be responsible enough to show up, or at least call back and say that you've reconsidered?
