Back office, he's an accountant? No special qualities needed other than get the invoices out right first time, follow-up on payments and get the accounts done on time. If you need a creative accountant get some shady dodgy geezer in. All positions don't need a people manager. After all, number crunching is as boring as working on the line in a factory.
There needs to be a people manager for every team. That's like saying an army doesn't require officers.
No betrayal, he left for love, after his girlfriend gave him the ultimatum to move back to Germany with her, or end the relationship. Now he's back in Blighty with all his dreams of a career in the space industry over. I did warn him, but he didn't listen. Such is life.
That's romantic. I'm not sure I did anything in my career because of 'love'. Although perhaps that's why I'm unmarried.
How were the fringe benefits?
Well the unofficial benefits could be good...
5 Finger Discount?
Rolex is from China or India? I have a Rolex from my grandfather by way of my father. Stainless steel. I only wear it on special occasions though.
Depends, you've got the Steinhart made homages from Germany.
Did you send him home to change?
I'm a little confused. You are pissed because you weren't invited to a wedding of a work colleague? Personally I'd rather not spend my personal time on the events involving people from work when I'm outside of work.
Perhaps, I was little harsh on my old mucca. I may yet apologise, or not. But I would have expected he would have given me an update of his life, rather than expect me to instantly come up with some wit and tales of daring do.
How many more questions did you ask after that?
Maybe he was actually multi-tasking and was writing an e-mail or file note while he was also having the phone interview with you?!
I shortlisted to ten candidates for a 10 minute phone interview of two questions. Top three candidates get in-person interviews.
That would be kinda impressive, though his answer sounded like it was coming straight off Wikipedia.
At least that is better than one telephone interview candidate who confessed he was in an underground garage because he needed to take the call discretely from work. He excused the occasional background noise of running vehicles and said he was pacing around the garage. As the screening went on I could hear him panting and losing his breath as he struggled to reply.
Good man.
In my business sector, we had research that said most people, practically everyone will go for a fraud that gives them 2.5 or 2.7 of their yearly salary. That's not initiated by them, that's a beta-cucks price to sell themselves to someone's who's initiated a fraudulent scheme.
That type of shenanigans proves difficult to manage and control, you're only ever one bad flu bought away from being caught.
Luckily gambling is a vice I have never indulged in. I remember reading about a dapper older gent who was a serial fraud artist. He would move into flats and then find every which way to getting out of paying rent. Somehow he lived a charmed life until he ran out of excuses and left to swindle another landlord. If that were me I'd be losing what's left of my hair in bed every night afraid someone was going to come evict me and dump me on the street.
