Impromptu Cloud Nine Gushage

5. Most staffing agencies will administer several tests which tend to be time consuming, annoying, and occasionally demeaning to find out if you are reliable. We would rather just ask: Are you reliable? Explain.
Have I gushed to you publicly about how much I love this company? I haven’t? Man, you’re in for a treat. I gush like nobody else.
I imagine that it’s a turning point in anyone’s life when they find out they’re not alone in the world — who wouldn’t be thrilled to discover such a thing? When I started Virtual Magpie I was searching for the thing that felt like who I was, and I expected (fairly, I think) to be unique in whatever that thing turned out to be. As I went along, I found out that part of what made me me was the way I wanted to treat my clients — like real people, like grown-ups, like friends. There was a lot more that made me me, but this issue was a huge part of it and became more and more important to me as time went on and the company grew around me. I felt that I was building an empire, but I expected to build it mostly by myself.
Enter Cloud Nine, as you’re already aware, and every week it becomes more brilliantly clear to me that I’m not alone in this. Some of you know what a riot it is to work with people who continue to surprise and delight you, and that’s what I’ve found here so far — even just today, reading through the hiring interview, I found that little piece up at the top. We would rather just ask: Are you reliable?
Isn’t that awesome??! I could just die of happy. You want to see something else, in the same file? Take a look at this:
How do you prefer to be appreciated?
When was the last time an employer asked you that!?
