When I interview people, and they give me an immediate answer, they're often not thinking. So I'm silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it's the second train of thought that's the better answer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you acquiesce to one interview, there's always another waiting in the wings. Also if you're interviewed repeatedly, you just start repeating yourself. I don't like to do that.
After I get comfortable, I kind of forget that we're even doing an interview and I say whatever comes to the mind.
I don't talk a lot when I interview. My job is to get out of the way.
My advice to all interviewers is: Shut up and listen. It's harder than it sounds.
I like to do an interview when the other person isn't expecting it. I find it's more spontaneous.
A lot of people have this strategy where if they have a hard question they wait to ask it to the end of the interview because they think the person is going to walk out. But what they have to realize is, is that if the person walks out, they have a pretty successful story.
When I interview someone, I know in the first two minutes if I like them or not. I find that if it's easy to talk to someone and I see an openness and honesty and integrity, then I usually hire them.
I'm very quiet. I can go a whole week without talking, so doing interviews is really awkward for me!
When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.
When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.
