Seeing is believing

A friend in marketing (and regular visitor to this blog) sent me this link.

One who's been interviewing people for years might tell you that people act "funny" in an interview setting. Seeing the behavioral quirks is even better than just hearing about them.

By way of Seth Godin's blog, we see a clever ruse in Seattle. To find out why some people do well at interviewing, the blog author sets up a fake interview scenario.

If I told you people would say they:
-- relocated because their spouse became a full time Bigfoot hunter;
-- described themselves as "loud;"
-- stole office chairs and pens (the Pilot Precise V5, a personal fave);
-- felt like they were just "done" with some jobs at six months;

You might think it was a joke. This guy captured it on tape for all the world.

Yes, seeing is believing.
