A few weeks ago, I finished reading Bob Pritchett’s Fire Someone Today and starting putting the advice to good use. I setup a separate account to track all the GST money I’m going to own the government come June. The chapter, “Don’t Hire Anyone You Haven’t Interviewed” was in lighting and interesting from a few viewpoints. I’ve had to hire people over the years, but usually the candidates where chosen and I got to make the final decision at best.

However, I get to make my first hiring decision this week and this chapter is going to be re-read for last minute advice. I want to make sure I hire someone that wants the job, but doesn’t need the job. The candidate seemed really cool and wanted the job to gain experience and learn more, which is what I love to hear next to this is my dream job, of course.

Bob also keeps a blog going, and is a fun read, when he gets to posting.
