Qualifications for Assessor job

In a Boeing career that spanned 37 years and in particular as I spent the last 15 of those years in management, I became more-than-ever convinced of the wisdom of ALWAYS seeking the most capable and qualified person when hiring someone for any job. For the most part, I adhered to that premise. There was, however, a situation that happened wherein I strayed from that proven ideal. It happened when I ended up hiring a woman to be an instructor/curriculum developer who had never done any of that kind of work, but who made an excellent presentation of her speaking ability. It was clever and caught my attention. Against the recommendations of my co-interviewers, I hired her. It was one of the worst decisions of my career at Boeing. She never did pan out or perform on the job as brilliantly as she had performed at the interview and eventually we had to get rid of her.
