Tagging for Lil' Miss Emily

So deeply unimpressed...
To purse or not to purse them lips, that is the question...

Here’s a bit of news, in case you haven’t heard : Rather expectedly, my new Emily is no more. The civil service castaway barely lasted two days on the job. She took medical leave on the second day, and just never bothered to return.

And here I was thinking that she’d AT LEAST last till the end of this week. *snigger*

No matter. Candidates of this sort are a dime a dozen, I’ve been told. Local universities churn them out by the bucketload every semester after all. *guffaw*

With the recent spate of dismal hires, I've taken a personal interest in the hunt for Lil' Miss Emily. HR has been suitably informed that I’m going to personally interview each and every candidate from now on. Screw the pre-interviews. Every application will now have to go through me and me alone before they waste everyone’s time with pointless calls for interviews.

Seeing that vetting resumes will likely make up a large part of the forthcoming hunt for someone who’ll survive the apparent rigours of the NuttyDepartment, I’ve come up with a system of indicating to HR if someone even mildly intrigues me. Or disgusts me.

Just as Miranda has her “nod-smile-purse lips” system of indicating her various degrees of approval with things she sees, I’ve found mine:

Brilliant lil' self-explanatory tags to let HR know what I think about each candidate's resume. Good system, no? *giggles*

Though I must admit, I have a distinct feeling that the “WTF”, “OMG” and “LMAO” tags are going to run out a LOT sooner than the others in the pack...*grin*
