I have learned that looking outside of the box and not being so rigid in hiring might result in hiring a better employee. I too believe that fair wages should be offered at the time the incumbent is offered the job. Too many employers try to low ball a perspective employee and that can really turn them off.
I think that more then one interview is needed sometimes to truly access ones personality and competence for the position being offered.
Educators learn a lot from each other so the forums are a great way to share information.
