Roman's Tip For Hiring Interviews

When interviewing a candidate for an important position that interfaces with customers, test their ability to react in strange situations. One caterer simply says to the person being interviewed, “I’m going to ask you to do something that will seem strange to you when you hear it. Please do what I request.” Then he says to the interviewee, “Please stand up and sing a verse from Jingle Bells.” How the interviewee handles this tells a lot about their ability to think quickly. If they don’t stand up and sing it doesn’t disqualify them. Whatever they do, it is more about what and how they do it than if they do it.
