Of course, by the time the resumes got to me they were all good \u2014 everyone was equally qualified. So I always asked these final candidates just two questions. First: Tell me about your life. I wanted to hear people talk about who they were, and what formed them. The second question: Rank, in order of importance, the five most important things in your life. Some people would say money, faith, family, etc.; others faith, family, money, etc. Everybody had a different answer. But their stories and answers gave me a clue to their character. I really listened and watched their behavioral response. Once the interview was over and they left the room, I\u2019d ask myself one question: If I\u2019m in a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and the boat is in trouble, who do I want in that boat with me? Those are the people I\u2019d hire. They were the people who had the character I could count on when things got tough. Every organization has tough moments. You want people working with you whom you can count on when the tough moments come. I always chose character and attitude over skill, and that insured I always had the right people in the boat.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>REMINDERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See you all at the Job Fair in Redmond on Monday afternoon. \u00a0Don&#8217;t forget to bring some business cards to hand out to potential teaching candidates.<\/li>\n<li>I will be traveling to visit a school next Thursday (4\/13) as part of some work with AdvanceEd accreditation. \u00a0Feel free to call me on my cell if you need anything. \u00a0Cell service may be spotty at times so leave a message if I don&#8217;t answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TO DO: Please let me know if you have any private counseling\/mental health serviced occurring at your building. \u00a0Particularly, I&#8217;m interested in learning if any private (fee based) counseling services are given to your students within your building &#8211; either &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/2017\/04\/07\/4-7-17\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":281,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3852],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-middle-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/281"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616\/revisions\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/jim.boen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
