Excerpt from the article: "Although technically I’m supposed to ask a lot of questions, I’d much prefer to see a smart, ambitious candidate who has done his/her homework, asking me lots of focused questions so that I can understand just how good this kid can be.
When that happens, it’s a beautiful thing. Magically, the interview always lasts longer than it should because our discussion flows so naturally. Did I mention that it actually becomes a two-way dialogue? (another key point) versus a deadly, one way monologue where I ask the question and receive in return an eight second one line response."
Kai Rilliet's insight:
I have been reading up on interviewing and preparing for the job market with graduation coming up next semester. This article gives two great points:
1. The interview needs to be a two-way street, a conversation, not a question and answer session.
2. The interviewer needs to do their homework ahead of time and come prepared.
