  • Bush's Interview Style

       July 21, 2005

    This piece in the NYT is interesting. Judge Wilkinson, a candidate for the Supreme Court gig, revealed some of the questions that the President asked him during his interview.

    - he asked him how much he exercised

    - he was asked about his personal life and about where he came from

    - he was not asked about his views on issues like abortion or even a particular legal case

    - "(The President) just could not have been more gracious," he said.

    These are exactly the right questions to be asking in any interview, not just an interview for the Supreme Court. You just can't teach decision-making skills like this in B-school. (and believe me, they try...)

    Agreed. When you bring someone in for an interview, you should already have a pretty good idea of what they know and can do on paper. And anyway, they're going to learn most of what they need to on the job.

    When you meet them, you really just need to see what they're like personally and if they'll fit in with you and the other people they'll work with.

    As a wise man once said: "It's a job interview. You don't tell them about the stuff you've screwed up. They don't tell you about the asshole you'll be working for."
