  • Typical vs. maximal performance

    In this situation, I would choose to hire Jamie as I think that consistency is better than being a slacker. I would rather hire someone that gives you pretty good results every time they show up for work. I think it’s better to have someone you know will get things done. They may not go…

  • Some Important things I learned

    This has definitely been a class I have enjoyed. A lot of the information was new to me and interesting to see from the hiring side vs the applicant side. The one thing I enjoyed was the different tests we took about personality. I haven’t had to take tests for jobs yet so I didn’t…
