If you’re like me, you’re exhausted by politics.

Already.

Things are only just getting started.

I don’t know if this is helpful, but here is how I look at it. If you have two candidates you need to decide who to vote for, there is only one way to decide.

It works almost every time.

You pretend you have to interview both of them for a job.

The person you would hire is the person who gets your vote.

Makes the whole process a little more manageable. Instead of picking someone based completely on how you feel (that will always be a factor), you’re now using criteria that is tangible.

The problem of course becomes, what if you wouldn’t hire either jabroni?

Yeah, if you wouldn’t hire either one, then this won’t help you. If you find yourself downloading ZipRecruiter after the last interview, then this tip isn’t going to work.

The biggest question then becomes, where are all the good people? Why aren’t they one of the options.

And maybe you realize, you’re the one for the job. After all, if you want something done right, sometimes you gotta roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

Send me your resume and I’ll take a look.
