Interviewing Secrets Revealed

Twenty-seven interviews in two days.  Needless to say, we are deep in the thick of  interviewing summer staff for 09.

We travel up and down the state (and  around the country) chatting it up with potential staff.  Sure we ask  some of the cheesey interview questions and sure some people come dressed in a  suit and tie and sure everybody’s nervous, but I love it.  We catch  all these glimpses of the greatest commandment being lived out in college-aged  students lives.

We may not flat out ask, “Do you love the Lord your God  with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength?  and “Do you love your  neighbor as yourself?”  But in the way they share about navigating  confrontation, putting others needs above their own,and living out their faith,  they answer “yes” to both of THE questions.

It’s simple.  It’s  beautiful.  And the icing on the cake is seeing Echo Alumni (like Johnny,  Caitlin, PJ, Sarah, Lisa, and Lorianne) who I have seen live out these  great commandments during summer apply to come not just as campers, but as  staff.
