Finding the right employee.
I think it's odd that you are stating you prefer experience, then offer gaining experience as a perk. That could be confusing.- Sean S

We will now hold one minute of silence for a fallen Deckel FP3NC....

Drill chuck slipped on JT arbor. Should I try to recondition the socket?
You guys must be doing some kind of precision drilling. I've spun chucks before... just removed and pressed them back on if it was only surface scratches. I never really considered a drill bit, or a 3 jaw drill chuck as a "precision" tool. That's just me. -
