Day 121 - Interview

Just before vacations, I was called up to interview the last team member.
There is a time constraint and it's been really hard to find good people on the market.
I was not ready for the interview, since the phone call came during lunch, so I had just a couple of hours to prepare the interview.

The goal is to hire the last team member. The role is actually quite easy. All that is required is to make internal tests, through SQL queries, and daily runs and gather the log results in a report, so that we know what's wrong and fix it.

The interview went OK.
She knows her way around SQL, SQL Server mostly, and the team will have to make an extra effort to help her to build the daily run script and error report.

So, in September she'll integrate the team and we're ready to make another data migration.
