    Sticky on all the interviews?

    Is it necessary to have a sticky on all the interviews? A few more and they're gonna take the whole first page...

    One man's opinion...

    Amen Kirk. I think it would be OK to have one day, maybe two days at most, of the sticky. After that everyone can do a search on 'interview'.
    Best Regards, Ken

    Looks like John M is already doing so. Note that Stu and dennis have moved down.

    Be glad to see mine move down too as my name is already plastered on here way too often. Ooops - just did it again.

    Exclamation A little patience, please.

    Hey guys, we're down to four right now, as I "unstuck" a few the other day. My original thought was to have two up there for probably closer to a week, as not everyone has the opportunity to check in daily. The "problem" comes in when Mark gets too efficient and blasts several up to the forum within a day or two of each other. Right now, there's also the IT contest sitting there as "stickies" and will remain until it is over. Eventually, Aaron will move all the "old" interviews to one area, making it easier to track, look up and follow. Until such point in time, bear with me, as I'll try to keep only the most up-to-date ones up there. I feel that the individual interviews deserve some time "in the spotlight", as it were, so that it's easier for folks to find & see them without having to do complex searches. If the individual interview is only up for a day or two, it can quickly get "buried", without other folks getting an ample opportunity to view or reply to it. Once Aaron get a bit more "unburied" from his work responsibilities and we have a "spot" for them, it will be easier to manage. I appreciate your patience with this.
    Cheers,
    John K. Miliunas

    John,

    You just thought being a moderator was going to be fun. I think management did a sell job on you

    John probably thinks he is overworked and underpaid. I think he ought to take a 50% paycut..... ........

    Oh..............you would be paying Keith and Aaron then, John?????......

    Hang in there John, you're doing a good job.

    LOL! Awww, it ain't that bad of a "job". Nice comfy place to work, surrounded by great people doing fantastic work, includes OJT and I get to pick my hours! The turners group is typically one of the funnest around and, I realized a long time ago that you simply can't keep everyone happy all the time. Heck, I been married for over 25 years... Understanding that just comes with the territory!

    Could it be that we are always spinning in circles?
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen

    Rob, were it up to me and, if I had the "power" to do so, that's what I'd recommend. We've got, at least, one other forum starting to do the interview thing as well and, a general Interview Forum would be cool. However, I'd still like to highlight the member's interview for a week or so "at the top" of the forum, just so everyone has their moment in the "spotlight", as it were.

    Dennis, thanks!!! It worked!!!! I'm getting a 25% salary increase, effective this week!

    Yeah Gary, believe it or not, there are actually a few folks left who have not succumbed to the Vortex! Fear not...Their day will come!

    "Spinning in circles" is right, Bart! Half the time I don't know if I'm coming or going!

  15. The only "thing" about an interview forum is that the interviews we have here are geared mostly toward turning. The ones Zahid is doing in the Neander forum are geared toward Neanders. That may not be a big deal for anybody - I dunno... I prefer to keep 'em separate... just my opinion... worth no more than what you paid for it...

    I have a few completed interviews queued, but I'm trying to spread them out and not take up the whole front page. Hopefully John and Aaron will work out a place to archive these for future reference.

    And just so everybody knows, I'm compiling a list of the active members of the turning forum... I'm up to about 85 right now... I've still got a lot of you to hit and I plan on eventually getting to everybody. So no "sob, sob", Rob - your name is on the list...
