"Several years ago, the lead editor tasked me with interviewing, hiring, and training an entry-level person to join our team of writers and editors. I chose to hire someone who seemed eager to learn and, based on past work experiences, seemed to have a lot of potentials. I did have a few concerns after checking their social media sites but chose to hire them anyway. I quickly learned it was a mistake and that their social media activity was a strong indication of their behavior at work. They were highly dramatic, had a poor attitude, and impacted the entire team until I fired them. This experience taught me how important every hiring decision is, from senior staff to interns. It takes valuable time to recruit, interview, and hire new staff, and each person impacts company morale and culture. It also taught me not to rush into making any hiring decisions. I've learned to trust my intuition more. However, it's a lesson I'm glad I learned earlier in my career."
