I don't know about the candidates but I'm worn out just listening to five of them. Mainly because they were at 1 hour intervals and with that and desk duties and lunch to fit round them, I barely feel as if I've stopped all day.

And I didn't have to do the interviewing bit between times. The panel must be exhausted. I shall have to buy them a drink this evening... two of them are coming the senior staff meal out that's been long arranged, and maybe I can extract from them any decision they've made.

@'s presentation went well though. Definitely one of the best in my opinion. One of only two that didn't have a typo in it - which you'd have thought was a bit critical for a tech services kind of job! And she kept to time, included humor and wasn't too note dependent.

Glad I don't to choose though - the prospect of such lifechanging decisions is daunting.
