This is from the summer before the pandemic. I was working at a medium sized tech firm with a team of about 10 working for me. We usually hired an intern or two each summer, and tried to keep it to people with some connection to the company. One of the guys that worked for me said his daughter would be home from college and was going to school for a related degree so we decided to interview her.
The interview is typically more of a formality when it’s someone we know, which was the case here. I didn’t interview her, just a brief chat, but she seemed bright and hard working and the team said great things about. She accepted and started about a month later.
For some background, I was 41 at the time, divorced, putting a lot of time into my career (related to the divorce). I did work out quite a bit, and dated when I had time but nothing serious at that time. I’m not as attractive as others but I’m tall and dress well so I was doing ok for myself.
