More Interviews

"Probably yes" didn't return from the drug test. After I read over my notes from the "maybe" people, I didn't find anything great, while I did find some red flags that I didn't see in the initial interviews. So, back to the drawing board.

One of the interviews that the other manager did was good. Since it was one of her first times interviewing someone, I interviewed the high school student too. When I called to schedule the second interview, he was still in school so I talked with his mother. She had good phone manners and showed some intelligence—a good sign.

The kid showed up right on time for his interview. He was a little on the quiet side, but it was a nervous kind of quiet. He was well-spoken and gave good answers, demonstrated the problem-solving skills I like so much, and was extremely polite and respectful. All right! Got to get final approval from Boss, but as far as I'm concerned, he's hired!
