I’m hiring a graphic designer and narrowed the candidates to 3. They are all qualified, all have extra talents that would be helpful to our company and are all very nice. I’ve never had an issue making a decision when hiring a candidate on who I should go with. How do you choose when they’re all equally great?? Vibes??

(I worked 12 years as a designer myself, hiring this person as my bigger priorities have outgrown design so I know what to look for and will be managing this person)

It all started with a sharp pain in my chest that spread through my whole body. I lost control and fell to the floor as my back bent in an unnatural arch. I felt my bones shifting and cracking as they stretched. My hands twisted. My fingers grew longer and my nails turned into claws. Hair pushed through my skin. My jaw forced forward and my teeth grew into fangs. I tried to scream, but the sound that came out was not human. After I regained consciousness, I realized I was a creative director.

Vibes absolutely. If you have three options and they’re all equally talented and capable, choose the one you want to spend time with. Choose the one who smiles the most. Choose the one who seems like the kind of person you want to spend time in a foxhole with.

I have about 1.5 years of progressive digital marketing experience, and prior to this, about 2 years of people management experience in a different industry. I’ve been offered a middle management position with company I’m currently at that requires me to manage 4 others below me, but is only offering a $5k salary increase - to $65k. Does that seem on the low end or is it valid? Any help is appreciated!
