Is it open-minded to evaluate someone based on preconceived ideas or personal stereotypes based on experience, or is it narrow-minded? Is it open-minded to try to keep your personal perceptions in check as you evaluate someone, or is it narrow-minded and naive? The reason for this question is that I witnessed an interview (OK, I eavesdropped) in a restaurant yesterday where a young woman was talking to an older gentleman not of her same ethnic group. She hardly gave him any opportunities to talk, and jumped in and asked other questions before he had a chance to adequately respond. It seemed as though she had made up her mind about him not being a good candidate for whatever position she was interviewing for before he even had a chance to speak. When I related this story to my husband he said that I was the one who was being narrow minded and that the interviewer had it right on the money. Thoughts?

Q1-NO. Q2- Yes.
When you have to make a decision you draw on what you know. Some things you consider and others you don't. It may be that the interviewer was being intuitive and at the same time rude. It happens. To you => Empathy is a great trait to possess.

If someone interviewed me like that, and that i felt i replaced into not being listened to in the course of the interview, i does not settle for the pastime if it were presented. i ought to discover someplace else to take my skills. imagine what the place of work lifestyle is like? A career must be a good in nice condition not in elementary words in content fabric yet in context. undesirable mangers have a tendency to employ undesirable workers, because they connect maximum with a similar style of human being. a good manager sees the fee in all ability applicants, and chooses the guy who suits perfect after careful listening. no matter if you comprehend right now you gained't employ the guy, it remains elementary courtesy to finish the interview procedure respectfully.
