Don't employ a girl who travels, because she has her own dream and her heart won't be in working her ass off for yours.
She will flit between temporary jobs, falling from one into another and won't commit to anything longer than a few weeks as she will be planning her next escape abroad.
She only works these jobs to fund her next adventure, and will probably be constantly distracted, day dreaming about being somewhere far more exotic than the bleak office you have to offer.
She will listen politely to colleagues' conversation, but never contribute as she has seen the world and what really matters and knows that superficial topics, such as the recent plot twist in Eastenders or the colour of Kate Middleton's nail polish, are irrelevant. She will instead choose to pass the hours at work scribbling down the plans she can't yet put into reality on the back of a till receipt.
She won't have a permanent address for the paperwork and most likely won't even have a phone contract, so contact with her will be sporadic and on her terms.
She won't have anything that involves commitment, not to one country anyway, so it is safe to assume this will be reflected in her attitude towards your job.
And whilst she might not make the best employee for your job, she will be the most interesting and well traveled candidate you have ever interviewed, and this might, just might, tempt you to hire her anyway.
