Next month sees the publication of Are You Smart Enough To Work At Google? by William Poundstone, a book about job interviews that seems well-suited to the current climate. With so many applicants chasing so few posts, it's reportedly getting more common to encounter the kind of "extreme interview questions", as Poundstone calls them, previously widespread only in Silicon Valley. Such as: "You're shrunk to the size of a 10p piece and thrown in a blender… The blades start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?"
[…] Now this book enables you to get good at the new questions, too, thus rendering them useless. Google's next move should be to stun applicants with something unexpectedly retro: "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?" Hint: the answer doesn't involve being trapped in a blender. But the interview conundrum will probably never be solved, because it's an archetypal case of the mental quirk that psychologist Daniel Kahneman calls "answering an easier question". Faced with a cognitively demanding question, involving uncertainty – "Will this person do the job well if hired?" – interviewers unconsciously substitute an easier question, and answer that one instead: "Did this person impress me in the interview?" We all do it, all the time. Watch any news discussion programme – questions such as "Who'll win the next election?" are often answered as if "Which party's most popular now?" had been asked. In one classic experiment, students were asked, "How happy are you these days?" then "How many dates did you have last month?" There wasn't much correlation, suggesting that dating wasn't the major factor in their lives. The Guardian, 2012 |

It happened towards the end of secondary school. Sunlight was cutting through the classroom, and it must have been close to lunchtime because the air was caramel-thick with boredom. […] We were a bunch of young lads, all acne and adrenaline, who had spent the previous summer passing through thresholds like hands through water: first loves, first time getting drunk, all that feverish giddy hormonal magic. But with the Leaving Cert1, the coordinates of our lives had been redrawn. I don't think we'd ever felt more unhappily embedded in the faceless machinery of education. Our sole objective for an entire year had been to memorise as much information as possible, in order to regurgitate it in one exam after another. Our teacher's sole objective was to drill all that information and rote learning into us. The Guardian, 2023 1. Leaving Cert: Final exams for secondary school in Ireland |
