I don't disagree with all of the advice in this, but the incredibly self-entitled tone it takes is absolutely disgusting to me. Every slide it's like he's sneer

I don't disagree with all of the advice in this, but the incredibly self-entitled tone it takes is absolutely disgusting to me. Every slide it's like he's sneering down at you (the candidate), demanding you bow down before him, tell him all the right lies [1], and devote your life and every fiber of your person to pleasing him in just the right ways during and after the interview.
Candidates are real people with emotions and a right to dignity. Some of them are going to rock, some are going to be meh, and some will be terrible, but they all deserve a much greater degree of respect than this asshole is giving them. Interviewing, and advice for interviews should be about giving the candidate every opportunity to impress you, not tearing them down and demanding they prove their worth to you.
The saddest part is that due to today's job market for most people, people are probably clamoring to work for this guy. Explains why he seems to feel like a god.
[1]: Seriously dude, fucking no one has wanted to work at your shitty-ass PR and marketing firm their entire lives.
- acchow 13y agoI really love this scene from The West Wing where Charlie is interviewing for a job at the White House: SAM Charlie, are you gonna come to work early, stay late, do your job efficiently and discretely? CHARLIE As I was saying to Mr. Lyman-- SAM Thank you. What more do you need to know?
