One thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never done is made a very good friend, only to lose that friend because something bad has happened. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m usually a very good evaluator of people, for the most part, and if something is going to happen, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve usually figured out that there was that possibility way in advance, and am a little bit wary until that thing happens.<\/p>\n
That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called intuition, and most of the time I listen to my intuition. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kept me out of many possibly bad situations that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard about later on down the line from those who didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get the same intuition. I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s intuition that leads you to hire either the right person or the wrong person most of the time.<\/p>\n
I say it that way because, sometimes, someone seems just too good and you can be fooled by that. I only hired someone who interviewed very well, and seemed perfect for the position, so much so that the other person who interviewed with me thought we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d found the most perfect person in the world. We hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t; she was a disaster from day one, when she actually called in sick for the week, and the department didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recover until I finally, mercifully, let her go 4 months later.<\/p>\n
The issue then was that I was looking for someone specific, and this person said everything I wanted to hear. In general, though, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not usually looking for something when either a bad or good feeling about something comes up. If that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the case, you should always go with your feelings, because your own history is telling you what to do. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we have experiences, so that our inner selves can help us out when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not consciously thinking about something.<\/p>\n
So, listen to yourself; if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, then you shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect anyone else to listen to you either. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
