On the Other Side

The library is in the process of finding a new director, and I’m on the search committee, which means sifting through the applicants and then choosing a new leader. It’s interesting being on the other side of the equation. I’ve interviewed for so many things, whether it’s school or jobs, that I don’t think I’ve ever been in a position to actually hire someone.

What’s also interesting is the range of people looking to fill the position, from the highly qualified to the ones who need to get a grip on reality. The problem with this process is that teasing out the best candidate can’t always be done on paper, you have to meet them and get a feel for them. It can get complicated.

This should be interesting. Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Laurel.Miss for the pic.
