Question

How about we ban Interviews and relace them with something better?

Interviews are basicially al communication of bullpoop...

So how about work test instead...

Ie copy fixer job... Give them a faulty photocopier to fix...

Sales trial... top 3 get the job, those found to operate negative competiton ie messup it up for other sales staff, get booted out...

The idea is to boot sales not steal sales and noble the opposition as they would be bad for the company.

Stuff looks, what they do on the weekend and looking much at experince... Only if they can do the job and ideally keen

Example...


Once went for a cave guide job... They took us on a trip and I was keen and did my best and showed REAL teamwork and all.

Did not get the job as the others had a bit more exp... ie one ex army.

Now that was fair... (plus they wanted you to work for very little for the first 4 weeks and simply could not afford it )

It was fair as only based on ability to to the job and willingness to help and support others which should be the basis for fitting in.

Creativity and resourcefulness is important incase something went wrong...

But I could accept that...


But not these **** who reject you as you talk fast trying to say all the good things you can do to try and impress them

The best test would be where you dont know you are being tested... Ie

Arrange a fake accident...

Those willing to get late for the interview to help somone in need (ethics and helping) others) and better still delegate others to help (shows real management).

Thinks well under pressure. Utilises whats around (Problem solving and maximsing use of resources).

Calms things down (people skills)

Get to the interview... Mate you just done it

Answer 1

I say replace them with an obstacle course.
It's a great way for employer to find out how many hoops your willing to jump through.

Answer 2

If this "question" is anything like your interview I can see where you wouldn't get the job. Interviews are when you sell yourself to be the best for the job. You have to be well spoken, use proper grammar and no slang, know what the job entails and be able to prove your ability to accomplish the job,show intelligence, be respectfull to guard/doorman,sec.,& interviewer and yourself, dress appropriately, and if it is a specialty job you must be able to discuss the ins and outs of it in a cohesive manner. Brush up on your skills and your next interview will be better. Some ppl have tons of talent but no social skills and don't get hired. Some ppl have soc skills but not much talent in the area but will get hired over the more talented because of the ability to follow instructions,show leadership qualities, and get along with others!Best wishes!

Answer 3

I so agree. I believe that in large organisations an impartial person should be involved in the selection progress, eg a trained human resources worker. This would ensure that favoured candidates were not given prior warning of every part of the selection procedure. We all know people, I'm sure, who have gone to interview with prior knowledge of the questions. I would support work-tests.

Answer 4

a lot of places do psychometric testing now, but interviews give the interviewers and interviewee's a chance to see if they are compatible, have the right skills and attitude..
One of the toughest interviews I had was to do a presentation on a policy and practise aspect of the job, before a panel, take a psyc test and have a real grilling.. got the job, it was tough, but set the standard to what they expected from you.

Answer 5

The whole point of the interview is to see if you like the person and think they will get on with the team and do the Job. Work on your people skills and you will be fine. chill

Answer 6

Whether u like them or not, or like authority of not, the fact is that employers use job interviews to determine what a persons education, skills/experience and personality (ability to click with the rest of the team).

U can hate them and get nowhere or accept them, play the game and get ahead.

good luck

Answer 7

All are not perfect in communicating but that doesn't mean that they are not capable. I think for this we need others help for a big ban and make everyone believe that giving time to prove ability is the best policy.

Answer 8

I agree. The thought of having (job) interviews alone makes you too nervous to apply for the job - especially when lying and communication techniques isn't your strength!

Answer 9

That would be called aptitude testing, I think.
Someone already thought of it.

Answer 10

you don't need complex interview, for skill personnel
