Spent the day today interviewing people who responded to our ad for a “Sales & Marketing Exec”.. we decided to state upfront what we deal in – art supplies and stationery; our target market – schools, clubs and offices; our requirement for the person to have sales experience and a car; for the candidate to have “excellent communication skills” and to be “a self-starter, energetic and resourceful”. Got quite a bunch of great candidates.. some more interviews tomorrow.. phew! :)

Had a really fun HR management class just now. We went through the different personality types defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator – which states that everyone can basically be made up of a combination of 4 dimensions:

Extroversion (E) or Interversion (I) – how you relate to people
Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) – how you look at data and analyse things
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) – how you make decisions
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) – how you live your life
