The Setting: You are a corporate executive...and drop dead gorgeous. So gorgeous that you had to fire your executive assitant because he was a typical guy. (Sexual Harassment)
The Setup: You have an interview with a replacement exec. assistant...and it is a guy. (You have to love Human Resources) You read his resume and credentials and he seems like a great candidate.
The Challenge: You are walking to go get the guy waiting in the lobby....you turn the corner...wow...he's kinda cute. But stick to your objective...you want to see if you want to hire this guy and not waste your time and HR's time. So...how would you test him to see if he will be loyal to you, or if he is a typical male who will harrass you down the road. Would you do a flirt test? Or a "where are your eyes" test? Have some fun. : ) Best answer gets the points.

I really wouldn't do any type of test but i guess I would definately notice "where his eyes are." That would be somewhat of a giveaway. But, I don't think that would prevent him from getting the job. If his credentials were squared away, I would give him the job. Whether he would harrass me down the road doesn't matter because he hasn't done it yet. Gotta give the benefit of the doubt. You have good questions. You make me think.lol

"Where are your eyes" test first-off: if his eyes don't stay on my face the whole time, he's a goner. I might push him around a bit, ask him some awkward questions to see how well he handles himself. You mentioned that he has a great resume: I'd tell him that, and see whether he puffs up, or fakes a humble response, or what. Either of the first two is a bad sign, because narcissistic guys are more likely to think every woman is their territory. If his resume lists women he's worked with, I'd ask him point-blank what working with Ms. Smith, or whoever, was like. Does he laugh, blush, or seem awkward with his answer? Bad sign. His answer should reflect a sense of respect for her, particularly for her as a colleague or boss. I'd ask him how he feels about working with a woman, because some guys are dumb enough to drop a sexual comment right then and there. I might "mistake" him for being gay (assuming he weren't) to see how much that ruffled his feathers. ("Oh, what a great tie! Only a gay guy can color-coordinate like that!") If he goes over-board about reassuring me he's NOT gay--he loves women, loves beautiful women, then that's another bad sign. I would follow that up by somehow politely letting him know that I were a lesbian ("You're not gay? My bad. My lover's always telling me that I'm horrible at spotting who's gay and who's not!") If he turns several colors or makes some rude comment, then I'd probably send him home and laugh about it with my secretary afterwards.

As I'm walking him to my office I seemed to have dropped my pen, I guess I better pick that up huh? Oh shoot I completely forgot how short this skirt really is, oops! Then half way through the interview, as he's getting less nervous and there's no hesitation to answer every question that I throw at him, I quickly slip in there. "So a good candidate for this position would be very observant, and on his toes at all times. So what color panties am I wearing?" I bet he knows the answer!! Ha Ha But what really matters is that he respectfully calls me Ma'am as he answers.

Well, I would pick my nose and wipe it on my expensive blouse when I went to get him, then offer that hand to shake. When we got into the office, I would cough all over the place and pop in a peice of gum and smack my lips. While interviewing him I would at random intervals snuck up my snot and hack a loogie into the garbage can. If he still wants the job after that horrible encounter he must be interested in the job and not me.

if he looks at me like an adoring puppy, i would not hire hm, because sometime down the road he is going to admit to being in love with me, and therefore a corporate threat

I would not hire him, he would be a distraction.
I would tell him he is not what I'm looking for then slip him my number.

Show some leg. If he crosses his legs he's unsuitable.
