Meeting Expectations

  • I remembered reading one of Steve's article.  When you interview a person, not only the person has the right skill set, it is also important that if that person fits into the group and the company.  I remembered the article said if that person has all the skill set but for some reason you do not like that person, do you still hire that person?

     

     

  • Generally not. That's why I make such a big point in my blog about appearance and social skills. The person has to fit into the company culture.

  • We just had someone submit a resume, and include among his history of qualifications: TRS-80 programming!!!

  • Hey, I've programmed a TRS-80.

    Ah those fond memories of sticking in two 5 1/4" disks, one with the program, one with the compiler, watching the C or PASCAL program flow by as it was checked and compiled...

    I learned recursion, pointers, and solved the Tower of Hanoi on a TRS-80. It holds a special place in my heart. Today it'd be a nice useful doorstop and memory holder.
