As my monitor flickered to life, Penny poked her head through my open door.

"You ready for a busy week, Jack? I've got you in Richmond tomorrow and Wednesday. I booked you at the Jefferson again -- you seemed to like that last time. The Seneca Group is here Thursday and you have a city council meeting that night. Staff meeting at 10:30 today and lunch with the accountants." She double-checked her list. "Oh, and your last three intern interviews are at 9."

I checked my schedule as it opened up and nodded to Penny.

"Looks like you've got me covered." She smiled and handed me a sheet of paper. "Here's the basics on the last three. Have fun," she said breezily and left the room.

I leaned back in my chair and gazed about my office of exposed brick, plank wood floors, and a saw-tooth roof structure with north-facing glass. When I'd started StudioX I had not foreseen the rapid growth and expansion we'd experience in only fifteen years. What had started as a small design-build firm had now blossomed into one of the larger development groups in central Virginia. We employed over 100 people and our new digs in the Woolen Mills would allow us to double that, if need be.

I saw I had a few minutes before my first interview arrived. I'd just come from the gym, so I went to my private bathroom to brush my teeth and check myself in the mirror. At 62 I still felt fit and vibrant. ...
    ... The gym has kept my 6-1 frame slim and tight. I kept my light gray hair and beard short and wore wire-rimmed glasses, cutting a dashing figure, if I do say so myself. I'd been mistaken for a UVA professor on more than one occasion.

I have always liked the hiring process -- whether it was for a high-level executive or a summer intern. I've consistently sought to find the best and the brightest, no matter what level the position. I was particularly interested in finding the best intern available this coming summer, as it was shaping up to be a busy one and I would need the kind of eager energy and fresh ideas that a bright young person can bring to the table. Most owners of a firm our size would leave the hiring of interns up to lower staff. But I prefer to be involved and was looking forward to this hire.

I had already interviewed nine young men and women for this internship and today would be the final three. Honestly, I often make my mind up about a person within sixty seconds or less of their walking through my door. That's one reason I keep the interviews short and sweet -- 15 to 20 minutes.

The first two interviewees on this particular day were rather undistinguished -- definitely not in the top three. I was already thinking back to which three might be up for round two when the final candidate walked though my door. I started, stood, and walked around my desk to greet her.

"Jack Booth. Pleased to meet you," I stated, as I extended my hand.

"Hi. I'm Grace ...
