Yeah, #3 in particular - man, I wonder how many people the author struck out because they had a rough childhood or grew up in a bad area. People can change, they often do change, and judging them by how they dealt with the part of their life they had no real control over, as opposed to what they’ve done since, doesn’t strike me as any real kind of wisdom.
- JenrHywy 4y agoI think the author's point is exactly the opposite - he's more impressed by people who experienced adversity in their early years and (presumably) have overcome it to the point where they're interviewing with him.
- trgn 4y agoThere's no way to determine that in an interview, which was the author's example. Interviewers who ask these type of questions are low key manipulative, that prying attitude is incredibly off putting, so presumptuous. If I were getting the sense that I were being judged on my childhood, I'd no way want to work with you. It's a total boomer thing, that casual condescendion. Younger people are much much better attuned to people's boundaries. Honestly, it's kind of frightening, the maturity with which a lot young people already can communicate with.
