interviewing potential candidates

Lena's: POV
It was a typical Monday morning and Lena was on her way down to Tasty treats. to interview two potential candidates, Stef decided to tag along with her
Because the ADT security company was coming in to install the equipment. Plus Stef didn't want me going to the bakery alone, we made a quick stop at the Star bucks coffee shop. I needed something strong to get me through these interviews, this morning. I have a young woman named Emory coming in at 11:00 and Asia at 12:00pm
I was impressed by both women, background experience
Emory had the expertises in working at a bakery before and Asia had experience in cake decorating design.
We pulled up to the bakery and exit the vehicle, Stef carried the tray full of drinks. We walked in and l greeted everyone good morning, some of them were annoyed we
Came in more frequently. After the shit Gearld pulled
I wanted to take extra precaution, to make sure these guys were doing there work. Cause often times. They would be outside clowning around instead of working, Tony the new contactor has been here practically every day on time
He gets right to work. Mark did my office furniture arrive yet, Lena asks Mark. Yes boss lady it came in two days ago
I set everything up for you, Mark said. Thanks l appreciate it Mark. Lena replied, Stef and l headed to the back
Where my office was. I unlocked the door and went in
I flipped the light switch on, and removed my jacket and hung up in the closet. I placed my bag in the drawer on the side of the desk, Stef took a seat on the love seat
So do you think these interviews are gonna baby
Stef asks me. Babe honestly I don't really know
I looked over their applications late last night while you were asleep, Emory has the experience l'm looking for and there's Asia the girl's been designing cakes since she was eleven years old. They each bring something different to the table, Lena explains. Love just sit down with them individually and see where there heads are at,
I know it's overwhelming when you have to hire a new team. And you wanna make the right decision
Not hurt anyone's feelings, but at all the end of the day
You have to protect your business. I'll stay in here if you want me to, Stef replied. Don't have to talk to the guy about the security system, Lena questions. Damnit
I totally forgot just that fast. But seriously just take a deep breath, Stef states. I breath in and out release
I take a sip of my lavender chamomile tea.
There was a knock on the door, Stef got up to answer it
Hi l'm Emory she says. It's a pleasure to meet you
Lena said to the young woman, you must be Ms. Adams
Emory replied. We shakes hands, and this is my wife
Stef. Why don't you have a seat, tell me a little bit about yourself. Lena asked Emory, the young woman answers every one of Lena's questions. If your hired we need some one here Monday thu Saturday from 9am to 6pm
Emory shows us her portfolio of all the cakes she made
With designs, okay Emory we appreciate you coming in
I'll call you in a few days for you to come back in for a second interview. As you know l have other interviews lined up, Lena tells Emory. I understand Emory says to me
She gets grabbing her things and heads out the door
What do you think, Stef asked me. She does have talent
She'll be a perfect asset to the bakery, when Emory comes back for another interview. Then l will make my final decision, l'm putting her application in the folder
Lena said. I'm gonna see if this guy is here from the security company, Stef States.
