Deadly Sins

October 14, 2005

Read some real life interview stories on the new site, Seven Deadly Sins from theladders.com. (http://sevendeadlysins.theladders.com/)

This site categorizes interview stories under the seven categories: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Greed and Sloth.

You will gain some insight into what the person on the other side of the desk is seeing and thinking during the interview.

Here is one example:

While conducting a team interview of a candidate for a position as a graphics designer, time was allotted for presentation of a portfolio. After five minutes of seeing the candidates work, I thanked him for showing his work and suggested that we continue with the questions. The candidate put away the portfolio but withdrew his laptop and proceeded to show his website designs ignoring my comment and addressing the only male in the group. At the end of the presentation, I thanked him for his time and told him that I was the hiring manager. After receiving his rejection letter, he called me to question why he did not receive the offer. My response to him was that I did not feel he was a good "fit" for my team.
