Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

As my… quest for serious people to hire continues, except the endless queue of unserious people who do not appear in the interview (or the ones who agree to work and then they vanish), I also have some interesting ones who come to me. Like a gentleman who I met few days ago. He... »
