Part of the problem that bit him, I think, is that the traditional interviewing/hiring process is fundamentally flawed and handicapped. Superficial elements have way too large of an impact. it filters out things that should not be filtered out. and way too big of a judgement is made too early, and on too little information, and with too little confidence in the correctness of that judgment. resumes are demanded and then either not read or not remembered. small comments can be magnified in the mind of the listener and used to conclude things that cannot possibly be concluded. ridiculous questions are asked. and lastly, there's very often too much of an attitude that the company/interviewer is in the superior/owner position and the applicant in the subservient/inferior/slave situation (perhaps carried over from blue collar industry) when in reality it should probably be considered an exchange of equals.
