I was hiring with the factory manager, who is male.
We had a unofficial conversation about what kind of candidate we would be looking for, we both agreed it would be good to hire a female, but wouldn't actively seek one (most of the applicants were female anyway), but we decided we would read every CV, and ensure we got the right person for the job regardless of gender.

I gave her a call and invited her for an interview in two days time.
Later that day I hear him saying to one of the staff members "wait until you see this girl we have coming for an interview, I looked her up on Facebook, definitely something nice to look at".
Looking back, I wish I had confronted him and said something. But ultimately I felt like I didn't want to allow her to come in to such an environment. Long story short, she got the job, put all the lads to shame and was so strong minded all the guys wouldn't even dream of going near her.
I still think of this situation often, and it has made me question decisions the FM has made.
Mentioned it to the CEO (who I'm friendly with) and he told me its stupid men being stupid men.
Opinions?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.
