So I emailed her, and ... well, 11 years later I am the client listed at the top of her masthead! Charles Stross

senior home self
I do interview senior candidates at the home office or many of our hotel or restaurant General Manager candidates.

What's the most common way you're misperceived in the workplace and why?" Both of these questions require a certain amount of self-awareness and a willingness to not give pat, normal answers that we offer experience in interviews. Chip Conley
