Plus I had great references. I am feeling a little braggy for saying all this. But since you asked... I don’t know. :)

That is why i love doing the following the most: - Role play. Pretending i am really tough customer (i mean really tough...), i am trying to recognize the creativity in the potential candidate. Trying to identify the point when the candidate give up. - Ask very simple questions like "why should i hire you?". I am always surprised how many people surprised with this question. - Asking simple question "Why you want to work for us?". I am trying to recognize the passion. Worst answer I heard was “I heard you have great salaries”. have you checked on this one? http://practicethis.com/2007/05/30/how-i-conduct-interview/ also check on this book: http://www.amazon.com/EFFECTIVE-WAYS-HIRING-SMART-People-Reading/dp/1580085148/ E-x-a-c-t-l-y!!!

Also - I've noticed that what you see in the interview is night/day with 'what you get'. I'd love to hear any insights you - or anyone in a hiring position - would have on this. I've been on the interview committee for a number of people, engineers and technicians. One challenge that I’ve had, however, is that judging potential is much harder than looking at skills.

Although I'm not sure it's the way it always works, especially not in the U.S. job market. It's how I got most of my jobs - I made several career changes, so couldn't offer skills, but rather a potential, the ability to work as a team player, and to learn those skills. Employers were able to see that, and hired me, despite lack of certain skills. “Hire potential, not skills” is really smart.

You're getting astute with you concise yet powerful writing. It's hard to add anything to what you've mentioned about team building. Team building to me is a collective conscious of individual achievement. Shilpan Alik -
