Part of a process I've never seen from the other side before...

I did the tours for the new assistant SN and I will be sharing soon. 6 candidates reduced to 5 when one dropped out, was replaced but they dropped out as well.

All of them very capable it seemed - some a fraction more 'personable', some seemed a bit more 'professional'. One combined both. One even came from my old 'home' state of Virginia. One I'd met at a conference in the summer and had encountered AB's marketing enthusiasm with me as well as the card voting system! She remembered me though, before I remembered her.

Fairly intense as I had no break between tours so was really taking an extended walk around and around the library, but it was interesting. And even more fascinating to sit in on the subsequent process of the interviewers deciding who to pick. Not entirely certain I can or should write about that in any detail, but it was definitely eye-opening and I reckon - should I even be in that situation again - that I've learned a few things.
