There is something oddly funny about listening to people interview for your current job.
For those who don’t know, I am dropping my current two-job status for a single position, thus necessitating leaving my part-time video gig. We work in a very small office, so the “conference” area is less than 10 feet from my desk and only separated by one of those flimsy cubicle walls.
Because I am leaving next week, my boss has been interviewing candidates at a furious pace in hopes that I can train them before I leave. I am definitely in favor of spending my final days just telling someone how to do my job and watching them do it.
It will be very interesting to see who my boss ends up hiring after listening to everyone’s interviews. I know who I would pick, but I have a feeling he will go in a different direction.
Then again, I will work with the new person for three days and he’ll have to be with them for far longer. So I guess his opinion might be slightly more important than mine.
I hope they enjoy my freshly cleaned desk.
