RT: The Perfect Interview Test


Found this arti­cle by Guy Kawasaki, one of Apple Inc.‘s early pio­neers. The sit­u­a­tion: you are an HR man­ager and you’re not sure if your inter­vie­wee is cut out for the job he or she is apply­ing for. What do you do?

If you can’t arrange for an inter­vie­wee to cross the street to get to your build­ing, arrange for the inter­view at a Star­bucks, cafe or restaurant—preferably in Man­hat­tan dur­ing rush hour, but any reasonably-sized city will do. Watch care­fully. Secretly video­tape it, if at all pos­si­ble. These few sec­onds will tell you more about their work­place capa­bil­i­ties than an hour of tough questions.

And after fig­ur­ing out which “type” I was, I real­ized maybe I was really cut out for a dif­fer­ent job descrip­tion all along :P hehehe

    That link is inter­est­ing. I col­lect choral music mp3s m4as and wmas for pri­vate lis­ten­ing (or what­ever term should it be). I even have rare items like PMS’ Ryt­mus, John P’s Pater Nos­ter, and Riveder Le Stelle, ACS’ Pater Nos­ter by Calalang and SMMC’s Tarim­baba Pun­jun­gan, Ummah Salih etc.

    Used to sing with a uni­ver­sity choir. And i miss every bit of it.

    Wow, this calls for a few bouts of San Mig or in case you don’t drink, a few cups of cof­fee. What do you say?

    And i just got a cou­ple of Songs for the Major Car­i­tas by John P (plus other stuff)! Hah! Like the Music gods adjudged: The Most Beau­ti­ful Sound on Earth!

      Hehehe.…I agree, John Pam­intuan is one of the most promis­ing choral com­posers in the coun­try today. His “O Mag­num Mys­terium” is a very lovely work of art, too.

    I mean “to me”.

    Yeah, what use blue­tooth is if we can’t use it to spread “The Most Beau­ti­ful Sound on Earth”?
