How to evaluate interviewees, Chapter 1, Use of Names?

This cast answers these questions.

How do I evaluate a candidate's use of names?

Is it okay for an interviewee to not

remember names? What if a candidate gets my name in an interview? Well if you want answers

to these questions and more, keep listening. Here we go.

This is an interesting topic more because I've read many times that the idea of using an interviewee's use of your name in an interview.

For example, hey, they didn't, no, the person didn't use my name a single time.

She's out.

Like that, that is a criteria that, I don't know.

The standard, yeah.

Same thing as eye contact.

People think, yeah, people think eye contact is directly related to

self-confidence, which it's not. And to tell you the truth, I never thought I'd do

this cast because I didn't think that people made it such a black and white thing, but I've since found out that they do and wrongly.

And the second thing is, I realize that there are a whole bunch of things that are used by

interviewers as rules of thumb sort of you know that we assume we know from our existence, from our interpersonal skills and so on, and therefore

we overlay that on a candidate.

Right, and shortcuts are useful,

except when those shortcuts become bigotry in racism and sexism, right?

Exactly, great point.
