So what did he have going for him that prompted you to hire him?
Seriously... I'm curious? I know someone who was a teacher for 20 years
with a Masters degree in Education. Due to some depression and other

now doing menial labor yet is trying to get back into teaching. Getting
that interview has been difficult.
