Interview Panel

I am being asked to help out as an interviewer. To help choose a member of staff for my college.

I am in two minds about this. When I am asking the questions I feel that I wish I could teel the the interviewees that they are getting themsleves into a crazy job if they take the post.

I also feel an accomplice in getting someone into the bureaucratical mess I find myself in everyday...

I also start to give my opinions based on certain criteria (which the college has listed) rather than on my gut feeling... My gut feeling has helped me in situations before and this time I use the college's job description as my rational for my choice in candidate.

At the end of the discussion. I find out that there are other reasons why someone might get chosen. The fact that the college desperately needs a staff member, and that if a certain individual fills teh post it will leave another post open.

People are being used as items to complete a technical puzzle.
