Oh Okay! I've actually interviewed people before and we have our potential employees fill out an application that lists dates of employment. That's a big thing for us. We(I) focus a lot on length of employment, type and why they left the job. I am straightforward in letting all potential employees know that the pay sucks for non-profit, especially in residential programs, which I used to work in in my agency. I want them to know this up front and want to know if this is going to be a problem before I proceed with the interview. You learn A LOT about people too by focusing on their past employers and why they left. So many people bad mouth their past employers, it is amazing. My former boss said he didn't want to hire someone for this reason but ended up giving her a chance and it was the worst decision. I still haven't ran into the tape recording thing though........I do recommend taking notes.
