I am the programmer currently and have trained the individual.. lets call her H... who was intended to be my replacement (after I take my promotion to be head of the department) a little bit here and there over the course of a year...... And you all know as well as i do... some people aren't cut out for this job.
Now I talked with my boss and he is in agreement about the situation. We need someone else to take this role. So there will be a job opening for the position for more money than you're average Joe. H is gonna want that position but she is not cut out for it. No problem solving. minimal computer skills. no excel. no programming. no enthusiasm. difficulty understanding simpler things like workplanes and vectors. etc.
Now I need to make a test that will not depend on seniority but highlight the key aspects of a to be programmer. But GD&T/programming knowledge wont be a criteria. Must promote from within.
So there is the situation. I need to find the best candidate who is not the person I have trained for a year. How can I create a test/requirements to get the person I want/need to be in this situation. Its a very political situation that must at the very least seem to be a fair shot to everyone who meets the requirements.
