It’s Friday so let’s lighten up with another anecdote. Here is an incident that I ran into during a panel interview. I would like to add this was the first time we met the candidate. The candidate repeatedly asked for permission to start up his computer and run us through a PowerPoint presentation.
We denied his requests, but he kept asking. Finally, we relented and allowed him to do it.
The problem he had, unbeknownst to him, was that this interview occurred in the middle of winter and his laptop was extremely cold from being in his car. After several embarrassing attempts to start his computer, he finally gave up. He turned to all 6 of us and asked, “You still like me, don’t you?”
We all sat there in stunned silence.
