So, I'm an introvert and in my early 30s. Since middle school, I've forced myself to do public speaking. I'm okay at it. I do pretty well in small scale business presentations and I'm above average in mid scale (50-100 people) professional public speaking events. I can keep people engaged but I'm not the greatest by any stretch.
I've done 2 whiteboard interviews. I bombed them because the questions are incredibly stupid and have zero real world application. And I'm a guy. I know plenty of women that run circles around me when it comes to interviews and public speaking. This paper's weak argument that women are incapable should be shot down.
Stop blaming everyday people. This is diverting from the issue of wannabe clever interview processes. 90% of whiteboard questions are stupid in nature. People with real world experience typically have a hard time with uber abstract questions that never come up in day to day.
In truth, a person that bombs one of these interviews should be immediately hired. It shows they can't accept stupid thoughts. Regardless if they're a man or woman.
- falcolas 6y ago> This paper's weak argument that women are incapable should be shot down. The argument is that, in the study: All women in supervised interviews failed the interview. All women in unsupervised interviews passed the interview. The sample size is too small to draw conclusions, but it definitely opens up further avenues of inquiry that should be done.
