You do 1,000 interviews, 20 percent of every one is not what you said, or is twisted a little. If you multiply 20 by 1,000 you've got a lot of inaccuracies out there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.
Job-interviewing is just a skill. Like any skill, some people have more of a predisposition for it than others.
I couldn't tell you the ratio, but probably for every job you see me do, there would be 20 rejections.
But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.
I think a lot of the people who write about me think that if they had to write fewer interviews then they would transcribe their life-story and it would be a big success. Or should be.
I'm loath to do interviews. What comes out is generally not what I meant or thought I was saying or thought they were asking.
I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.
For business, government, and education, the lesson is clear: People ought to be relying far more on objective information and far less on interviews. They might even want to think about scaling back or cancelling interviews altogether. They'll save a lot of time - and make better decisions.
I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.
In any interview, you do say more or less than you mean.
