I've worked in the recruiting/staffing side of things for quite some time now, but it never ceases to amaze me the things I can learn. While interviewing a lovely young lady the other day she disclosed to me that she has bad knees and cannot be on her feet all day. Good to know. Being the curious person that I am, I asked if she had injured herself (and in my mind I was thinking, was it on the job?) and she said that her knees were simply "worn out". Before I could even reply she leaned in, put her hands around her mouth and said "I used to be a DANCER" in a tone that implied clear heels and brass poles....In retrospect, that's what we call an overshare. But, I did learn something. If she had said it without the whispering tone and hand motion I would have assumed she meant a ballet dancer. I guess it's all in the delivery.
She starts her new job through our agency tomorrow. I know she's a hard worker and she's honest. Both of which are good qualities to have in a temp.
