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.
