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?

      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”?
