don’t have a job we ask them to come

• Ask questions on what you want him to do and
not what he might know. Don’t think that we can

resource. At least he must know 50 % of what
you are planning to do. Take one day out for

was not selected.  Very difficult and someone
might even ask if you don’t want to hire that is
