11/3 Our group is interviewing a person on Friday, and I got stuck with
taking the guy out to lunch. What do you ask during lunch? Do I
avoid technical questions? What's the traditional approach?
\_ I would talk about whatever he wants to talk about: remember,
the point is to get to know him. If he's a technical person,
he will probably end up talking about technical stuff anyway.
\_ Try to make it clear how much you dread social interaction with him
\_ I used to take candidates to this Moroccan/belly-dancing place,
and I'd pay off the belly-dancer to get her to embarrass the guy.
\_ Sounds like an excellent use of money. Keep up the good work.
\_ Don't forget to make the guy pay for both meals and any drinks. |
