Charles Schwab CEO on how he tests job candidates by taking them to breakfast
- jpeg_hero 8y agoHa! The ole "Double Gimmick." Tricking the candidate to deal with a wrong food order and then telling the candidate that his biggest failing was falling for the trick that his professor pulled on him (The final exam was "what is the name of the janitor?" presumably the professor failed most of the class on the final). This CEO's whole life is a pithy business stories with a moral suitable for a business advice book!

- beatgammit 8y agoEh, I guess I'd pass that test because I honestly don't care about my order most of the time. And if I'm out on an interview, I definitely don't care about it, especially not enough to risk making a bad impression. I doubt many would fail that portion of the interview. The biggest failure question, however, is a pretty good one, and it seems to be pretty common in interviews that it's almost become cliche. Honestly, I feel like this article is pretty weak.
