  1. So why have you wasted your time and money advertising for an assistant and inviting candidates to send their resumes to the very same person that now holds this position. Transparency???

  2. @Gayle: I was recruiting a 2nd assistant and hired a person I had never come across before after receiving 60 applications and interviewing 5 candidates. Anyone meeting the criteria in the job ad had a chance of being recruited. No money was spent advertising the post.
