New Interviewing Technique

Beam Me UP

Take the prospective employees you are trying to
place and put them in a room with only a table and
two chairs. Leave them alone for two hours, without
any instruction. At the end of that time, go back
and see what they are doing.


If they have taken the table apart, put them in
Engineering.

If they are counting the butts in the ashtray, assign
them to Finance.

If they are waving their arms and talking out loud,
send them to Consulting.

If they are talking to the chairs, Personnel is a good
spot for them.

If they are wearing green sunglasses and need a
haircut, Computer Information Systems is their niche.

If the room has a sweaty odor, perhaps they're
destined for the Help Desk.

If they mention what a good price we got for the table
and chairs, put them into Purchasing.

If they mention that hardwood furniture DOES NOT come
from rainforests, Public Relations would
suit them well.

If they are sleeping, they are Management material.

If they are writing up the experience, send them to
the Technical Documents team.

If they don't even look up when you enter the room,
assign them to Security.

If they try to tell you it's not as bad as it looks,
send them to Marketing.
