Contacts All

All Contacts Are Interviews

Thought this email from a candidate would be interesting to my readers. It was sent to me after a group discussion that I had explaining that every contact regardless of how incidental, or innocuous it may seem, IS AN INTERVIEW.

Bruce,

I wanted to relate an incident to you that occurred on my recent out-of-town interview. Proves your point that you can never be too careful about who you talk to during the process.

I had received an e-mail from the interviewing company that they had arranged for me to be picked up at the airport by a first line manager. During the 30-minute trip from airport to company location I had a very pleasant conversation with this gentleman, Bob, who explained that this was his "third career", that he was happy with the firm and that they were doing well. He volunteered no additional information.

It wasn't until later in the day, when one of the execs in the interview process asked about my trip in, that I learned Bob's real identity. It turns out that Bob, in addition to being the company's Purchasing Manager,is also the father-in-law of the company CEO and lives next door to his son-in-law.

I'm not sure this was a deliberate set-up but I'm certainly glad I was on guard during the conversation.
