Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.
I have an employee who has actually run off two different teams who reported directly to him. He does a great job, but he is just too rude and arrogant to keep on staff. I have hired a recruiting firm to replace him, and I hope we’ll find someone who is not only very capable but also gets along with other people. My concern is that the recruiter wants to come to our location and look it over so that she can describe our facility to her candidates. I understand why she wants to do that, but I can’t let her come during the work day. Should I have her meet me here on an evening when there are no events? I’m not sure how to handle this. -Lubbock, Texas Reader Since you have not told the employee that he will be released, you can’t have the recruiter come to the facility. Just tell your headhunter that you appreciate her idea and see its value, but you aren’t ready to release him. If she came after hours, another employee would “accidentally” let
it slip, and you’d lose him prematurely. On the bright side, since you are in a very specific industry, your recruiter can more than likely place your employee in another facility. You said that he formulates a great product, and if you let him know that his inability to work with others is the problem, he might learn a little from this experience and do better at his next job. I hired a friend as a Sales Manager in Austin, and he is doing a terrible job. His sales are in the tank, and everyone else is outselling him. I know that he isn’t working as much as he should because he always answers immediately when I call. He sure couldn’t do that if he were with a client! I don’t know whether to warn him that he’s about to get fired or just fire him. It’s uncomfortable, and I know I’ll lose a friend. -Post, Texas Reader Give him warning letters. That will give him an opportunity to either improve his sales or look for another job. Guess
what – it’s possible that he doesn’t even like this job. If you’re right, and he really isn’t working very hard, it may be a relief to him. He may think he’s staying because you are his friend! When your hire friends: you already have their loyalty, and you know their personality. The disadvantage to hiring a friend is that he/she might take advantage of your relationship by not working hard. You need to tell him that you don’t want to lose his friendship, but that you have to look out for the bottom line. It may or may not work. I go to the unemployment office to use their fax and computer. The first time I went, I wore a nice outfit, but I saw that everyone else was wearing shorts and really casual clothes. The other day I was there, and there was an announcement that an employer was interviewing. I didn’t want to wait until I was dressed better to interview, but I felt really uncomfortable. Do you think the employers that interview there understand?
may have not expected to interview that day, but they don’t understand why you would dress like that when you know that it’s possible that you might need to interview. Here’s what I think: you never know when you might score an interview, and you need to dress like you want a job. I’m not saying that you need to wear a suit or typical interview attire, but for heavens sakes, shorts??????? You need to be an example instead of sinking to the level of people who don’t even want to go to work.

DAVE SAYS
C o n c e n t r a t e Right now, you are the number-one priority. on your quality of —Dave life Handling the severance Dear Dave, Several months ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I have about $30,000 in credit card debt and would like to continue getting my finances in order. My husband has been unemployed for six years due to his own health issues, but I do have life insurance, a 401(k) and receive Social Security. How should we handle this?
Who Is Dave Ramsey? Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually. Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide. He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dear Dave,
I’m an accountant, and my company is experiencing layoffs. I just learned that I’ll be losing my job in four weeks. I’ll receive a severance check, but I have no other savings set aside. Should I use some of the severance to pay off debt, or hold on to that money as long as I can?
Vivian
Frank
Dear Vivian,
Dear Frank,
God bless you and your husband. I know this is a really rough time for you both. I hope you guys are sticking by each other and loving on each other a lot. That may not make these problems go away, but it will make you each stronger and bond you together in incredible ways.
I’d hang on to that money and pile up as much other cash as I possibly could. Right now, the most important worries are food, lights, water and shelter. Debt is not on the list. We need to take care of your basic survival needs first and make that money stretch as far as it will go.
If I’m in your shoes, the last thing I’m going to worry about is credit card debt. Your concern right now should be your quality of life and taking advantage of all the medical options that are available to you. That’s the primary goal. You and your husband need to use your financial resources to prioritize, but at the moment you come first. For someone in your situation, that’s not being selfish.
There are two bright spots in this scenario. One, you know the wolf is going to be sniffing around the door, and that gives you time to prepare. The second thing is you’re an accountant, and that’s a very marketable skill. Lots of companies are going to be looking for your kind of expertise as we slowly turn the corner and come out of this recession.
The hard truth is this. We’re all going to die some day. Anything you own, like the 401(k), has to stand good for what you owe when you pass away. In other words, the credit card debt would have to be paid before your husband or others received anything from your estate. I appreciate your diligence and honor in wanting to make sure your debts are handled. But in this situation, so what if a credit card company has to wait a while to get paid? It will happen when it happens.
Here’s another thing. The better financial cushion you have during this time, the better you’ll do when interviewing for other jobs. Things will be tight, but if you’ve saved and budgeted your money well, you won’t come off as needy or desperate. You can be confident in your abilities to add value to a different company, instead of being all freaked out and begging for a job. Then, once you’re settled into someplace new, you can start writing checks out of the remainder of the severance money and your first couple of paychecks to catch up on things! —Dave
