Hiring an Assistant - Part 3: Interviews

I like interviewing people - I really really do. It’s the only way to ask all the questions I want without being nosy or overstepping boundaries (for the most part).

Interviewing people for the extremely prestigious position of my new assistant was not only interesting, it was HILARIOUS.

I interviewed a painter who had trouble getting motivated to paint, someone who talked about composting more than their social media skillset and one girl who seemed more qualified to be my boss than vice versa. I even had someone do a monologue (that deserves it’s own post and will be part 4).

Pauline Willeford of Venturable really summed things up nicely in her blog.

Just signed up for a Square

I’ve been reading a lot of about Square, a company founded by the co-founder of Twitter, that allows anyone to accept credit card payments via mobile device. 

The plugin looks like this:
 

And the setup is pretty quick and straightforward yet seemingly secure. 

Tons of small businesses are constantly missing out on sales because they aren’t able to accept credit cards and many people are still unfamiliar with or don’t want to go through the hassle of paypal; I think this is going to be a really great solution but am going to try it out myself before recommending it to clients. Stay tuned!
