I like the YC question: please tell me about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage? In my team I place high value on resourcefulness, and seeing whether people can come up with solutions rather than deferring to their superiors with every difficult situation.
- sgillen 7y agoI lie this for computer systems as well, can still show resourcefulness.
- bradknowles 7y agoCan you give me some examples? Would it count if I had walked around the halls of the Pentagon, looking for good stuff that people had left out in the hallway (and therefore presumably excess and no longer wanted on their part), and then moved it to my office? Or the time that the Team Chief of the Logistics Readiness Center in the National Military Command Center had locked himself out of his own office and didn’t remember the combination, and was supposed to be briefing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in five minutes? All I did was brute-force the combination, but I was able to do it quickly and he wasn’t too late to his briefing. Examples of the kind of thing you would be looking for would be very useful.
