"Absolutely Niall. I've had to interview people both as an employee (because the business owner didn't want to do it themselves) and when I became self-employed. It can sometimes be easy to see when people are not going to be a good fit, it can sometimes be harder to "get over yourself" and stop your issues blocking you from hiring a very suitable candidate. That is why I think trial periods are great. I'm not a fan of first impressions despite lots of people spouting them to be important, I usually find second and third impressions tend to either totally negate or back up the first one, which to me is a lot more important.

"Lol, for some Duncan this technique really does work, which is why it gets used. Like I said in my post I've often taken up one of the "scarcity" offers - on the third or fourth time it's offered, by which time I know I want it and am not prepared to pay full price when there is a discount available on it."Way With Words
"@Businessavante - absolutely!! I've often heard "the truth hurts" said as an excuse to lie, however I believe that lying hurts more and does much more damage. It also brings into question the type of person who would lie rather than face a truth, what else are they hiding from & do I really want to deal with them regularly. @Nialldevitt I've been where you are and I've come to the conclusion that life is too short to waste on dishonesty and deceit. My job is to help people "bring their best potential to the surface" - it's Encouraging Excellence's tag line, I would not be able to do that if honesty and truthfulness were not basic core values that I live by."« previous12 next »

"Hi Duncan, Thanks for the comment. I know a few people like that, in fact one employer got around that by issuing a second temporary contract with the view that people are on their best behaviour until they get comfortable, so extend the temporary period to a year, they'll be very comfortable way before the year is up, it worked too."
