I supervise a department that historically has a high turnover rate--and young people do not want to work alternating weekends or holidays--sorry folks you applied at a hospital--24/7 job. In the past 6 weeks I hired 4 people--2 are gone and were, unfortunately, bad choices--but they both hid important info from both me and HR. On the other hand the other 2 were GREAT choices. Interviewed 2 people today and the first one was her own worst enemy--she needs to hone her interview skills. I hired the other one--she just moved her from California and hopefully will be a great employee.

Sometimes I just let them ramble--you find out plenty about them! I also find that if they shift their eyes when you ask things like--absentism or tardiness--take heed. I agree a handshake is an important part of any interview--my father taught me that as a young girl and always look people in the eye.
