and Samira Mouhayar who said that she was the Customer Service Department Manager. I was not aware of the dress code for the interview so went in a suit and tie, “better overdressed than underdressed”, I thought. During this interview it caught my attention that Susana Martin and Samira Mouhayar repeatedly and specifically asked how I would react to a troublesome colleague. They both kept insisting on this subject so I concluded at that moment that there must have been some issues with one of the team members. I found that weird but did not worry too much about it then. After having worked for about fifteen years as a tour guide in Spain and Gibraltar, I had had my share of troublemakers and unhappy tourist so I replied that I was sure I would be able to deal with a difficult colleague. When they asked what I could bring to the company I replied: “maturity and stability”. During the interview I found that Susana Martin was quite insecure and lacking self-confidence. Samira Mouhayar appeared to be shy and timid and I had the impression that she was trying to hide. My first impression of the management was that they were quite weak. I did not see that as a problem though as they were doing their best to be nice and friendly.

Thank you for your email of today and in answer to your questions…
Bart has been employed on a part-time (freelance basis) for Blands to conduct local rock tours and guiding duties.

Time keeping is excellent. Always before his time and ensures every second of his duties are fulfilled. Never cuts corners to finish early. Stays as long as required and never complains about it afterwards.
Honesty is excellent. One of the few driver/guides to which I can vouch personally for his
