On orders from my boss I am interviewing 7 interviewees tomorrow for ONE post....

Its going to take all bloody day... like I have NOTHING else to do....

And there are going to be 6 people disappointed at the end of it...

total overkill IMHO... But I'm acting under orders....

Not like I need interviewing experience, I used to work in HR/ personnel & training...

Have been through the CVs with a fine tooth comb and tbh there are 3 I wouldnt have even bothered with...

but orders is orders so here we go...

I HATE wasting my time AND other peoples too... A shortlist of 4 would have been plenty based on qualifications and experience...


Wish I could warn them that I havent slept all night so they may be in for a rough time.....

And if I prefer the well qualified POM who's applied, but get overuled because I'm "biased" again I'll spit bloody fire tomorrow...

Is there more behind it though? We had a job recently where 7 people were interviewed, I was one of them. Turned out 5 weeks later that the reason they interviewed 7 of us was because they knew there were two more temporary positions coming up due to maternity leave/acting stuff that could be filled from the merit list from that first round of interviews - just guessing, but maybe there's a bigger picture?

Nope... no bigger picture...

Unless she knows that half the staff are planning on resigning lol

Sorry, you didnt mention if it was your choice or you were just following orders.....

Pick the one with the best tits.

Just following orders...

Best tits? I reckon the worst ones would be the kindest, we do plastics and mates rates for staff who have been here long enough...

7s kind of perfect to fill a day. I bet she was thinking - oh we'll do interviews tomorrow, how many can we do - 7 - let 7 be our selection number.

Sounds like my logic when I am very busy/stressed and cant get my mind over the detail that I am not actually dealing with,

So did you get the Englishone?

Interesting day.... We made some interesting decisions...
