Job interviews can be interesting and frustrating.(BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU)

Wenatchee Business Journal, January, 2006 by Quintrall, Jan

In an organization of 25 employees, each individual is quite important to the group. So when one of our key managers left for a position at another BBB, and a long-time leader announced retirement in the spring, we had some big shoes to fill. But we found the perfect person!

I ran an ad in the paper for a VP of Operations, and believe it or not, I received fewer than 10 resumes. Considering all the complaints we hear about the lack of "family wage" jobs in the region, under-employment, and a shortage of good positions, I was fairly surprised at the low response to our posted position. The applicants were all high quality, and using the salary as a gauge, I managed to narrow the pool down to seven scheduled interviews. Not bad, not bad.
