I am amazed. Today's candidate is even better than yesterday's if that is possible. Our give and take is natural and she is asking the kinds of questions and making the kinds of comments that a long time employee might ask and make. Our connection feels very natural. I could totally see myself working with this person.
I think about Kiel interviewing for jobs. I hope he finds himself in as good a position as we are in. I have been on both sides of the interviewing process. I know what an employer hopes for, and the nervousness that a candidate feels. I try to explain to Kiel what he might encounter, what the employer is looking for, what communicates best.
He is trying to do all the right things. Its difficult in this tight economy to get your start. There is nothing particularly fair about the process, and the best candidate sometimes doesn't get the gig when there are political currents or previous bad experiences to be dealt with. Somebody invariably has to take a chance and bring in those new to the job market, trusting that they will work out.
I pray for Kiel and put him in God's hands. There is a place for him, and between him and the good Lord, he will find his way and his place. I sure hope it happens soon!
