Jobs/Vacancies › A CEO Explains Why He Preferred Hiring a "C " Student by GeoOla25(op): 9:35pm On Sep 17, 2015
This Is Why I Believe in Hiring a 'C' Student.

I can be a tough boss. A self-professed passionate workaholic, when I hire I am looking for people with personality. My organization is not a place for the perfect person with a copacetic life. I am seeking eclectic, committed people. On my team I want survivors. If you find yourself on the other end of the desk from me, here is what to expect:

1) Prepare yourself for open-ended questions. Please do not be put off by the vagueness of the question. Embrace the ambiguity. I am seeking people who can dance in the world of gray. As you respond, remember that when I ask the question there are no right or wrong answers. Instead, as you formulate your answer, remember I am listening for patterns. I believe that everyone is centered in well-defined behaviors which are repeatable. When you talk, I am listening intently to understand what drives you. I want team members who have overcome adversity. 

2) Be real. In an interview, I am allergic to pat answers. Entice me: I am listening for a person that can tell me about failure and life lessons. The ideal candidate has thick skin and can easily share how they changed their behaviors based on tough feedback. They are coachable. When I ask these open-ended questions, I listen for heart and compassion. My preference is a bright C student with broad life experiences versus a perfectionist A student.


3) Tell me stories. Make yourself memorable. I love an interview that is based on honest sharing of life lessons and reflection. My goal is to find lifelong learners who will never punch a clock. As a result, the people who I hire share their personality. They know themselves and share openly.

4) Be centered. Bring yourself to the interview. In this world I feel that there are givers and takers. My goal is to build a team of givers. My guard goes up if I hear self-centered behavior.

5) Don't take yourself so seriously. I am also seeking the person who laughs and has fun. There is no room in my organization for the person who is always on edge. Humor is a great gift and a situation equalizer. Share yours. I will appreciate it. 

I hope this helps. Let me know your thoughts. Best of luck in your career!
