Friday, so let’s go to the anecdotes. I had a unique candidate call while conducting phone screens this past week. I talked to a candidate who said my name a thousand times if he said it once. I know, sounds silly, but after a couple questions into the interview, I was worn out from hearing my name so frequently.
Let me give you an example from our discussion:
“Well, Lee that’s a great question and I wished I could say that I have a quick response for you, Lee, but I need to think about that question for a moment.”
With hardly a pause he continued, “Lee, I would say that my experience in the industry and selling a similar product would help me fill the pipeline quickly. Does that make sense, Lee?”
Unnerving.
