..hmmm I think only time will tell. I would have given the job to Paul too but I' know my OH would have chosen the best person for the job..or at least I think he would as he's not emotional about things....
..but then Paul could turn out to be the right person when it didn't look as though he was initially...whereas the other guy may have had better credentials but not be as committed...I think someone has to do the job before you can say for sure thet they are right or wrong for it.....
.....so I would go for Paul and then try to make him 'fit the job'...because otherwise I'd have to face another dilemma of whether to let him go or not..so it would have all been pointless
