Re: Interview Questions

[Roger Mallett <roger -at- CSICAL -dot- COM>]

A promotion to VP  --  Good for him!!!

A man with keen insight, and the ability to ferret out a potential bad
employee, a man who discriminates for the good of his company, a man
whose skills of discernment have once again saved the company money and
added to the bottom line, gets a well deserved promotion.  Yeahhhh!!!



From the sound of this thread, there seems to be a contingency that
would subscribe to a form interview completed through the web.  An
interview that doesn't permit one to be exposed to the personal
discernment of others.  An interview where a quick mind is not needed to
survive.

Is that really what you want?

Should interviews be restricted to only a few questions authorized under
color of law?

Having said that, I am in concert with Bill Swallow who said:

As far as the boat and cannonball question, I believe you had my
answer.  Any left-field question deserves nothing more than a
left-field answer.

Remember it is *your* interview, not just the employer's.  Have fun with
it and run the show.
