[QUOTE="born2run, post: 188383, member: 2498"] Jerry... I too found it interesting to read your post on how you judge character. Reminds me of something I heard when I was in college regarding a LE interview. Simply put, that you are being "interviewed" from the time you first drive into that facility. One of the hiring panel of a department actually discounted someone based on the bumper stickers from his car. I am pleased to see that you value character in equality to skills. I do believe this is solely what has helped me climb the pay ladder at my current job. While my skills are definitely a bonus, it's the work ethic that is the biggest asset. So your herd manager had no experience, but you were willing to train him. That shows something about you! :) From what I see from most dairies they want years of experience as well the capabilities to AI immediately. I have the desire to learn, and learn. If I was able to I'd go back to the dairy at least once a week during the day and simply observe and get hands on experience. While I can run the parlor with ease, and do basic maintenance, I don't know a lot when it comes to diagnosing and treating diseases. What I've learned about diagnosing and treating mastitis is 100% self-taught. I'd be curious also to know if you supply uniforms for your employees? Here we work in attire similar to what Milkmaid mentioned. In the summers almost everyone seems to switch to shorts, including myself. [/QUOTE]
