ajvaA great weekend in Cambridge, although I'm sure I heard my liver squeaking a bit in afeared subservience on Monday morning.
Anyhoo, I had my first experience of interviewing peiople for jobs yesterday. I was extremely nice to them all, but it definitely brought out my mean streak. One girl had put on her CV that she spoke Mandarin as she'd been teaching English in Taiwan for a year, so she got a hell of a shock when she came in and I started blabbering away in same. It's good to see the fear and eagerness to please in their eyes. *baddie chuckle*
In other news, I have developed a spot on my forehead that is perfectly placed to be a b(h?)indi. Maybe I can get away with claiming it as such.

Date: 2006-02-01 07:32 pm (UTC)I've had the experience of interviewing people a few times now - always a wierd experience, as you never really see the true person. My favourite was a man who claimed his approach to difficult patients was always to show them empathy. I deviated a little from the script to ask him what he actually meant by that, and he couldn't even define the word. I'm surprised he managed to use it correctly in a sentence.
