Thankfully hypothetical atm but it could become real, if events pan out as I expect?
What do you do when someone you know from a previous job submits a good application but you really don't want them in the role, based on your previous (fairly recent) experience of them.
This is senior position and the person I expect to apply will, I'm sure submit a strong application based in truth but with some exaggeration and a lot of "building her part"i.e she was involved in the project but not nearly so much as she says she was.
If it got to interview, she would almost certainly do well, excellent presentation skills and believes her own PR.
However, IRL, she's lazy, causes enormous conflict among staff , upsets everyone who's ever worked for her, passes off other's work as her own and blames others for her mistakes.
I really don't want to work with her again and I certainly don't want to manage her, but on paper, she's a good fit for the role, it would be a great opportunity for her and it's very close to where she lives.
