The Utter Uselessness of Job Interviews
How do you know that the person you'll be marrying won't cheat on you and won't leave you in hard times? If you apply the methods we use today for interviews you'll end up with a 50/50 chance at best, a coin toss.<p>Yet why do some marriages last forever (till death do us apart) while others fail miserably or crumble even after 20 years?<p>The search for the global optimum cannot be performed by asking a set of questions. I argue that it cannot be done consciously. It's gut/instinct thing. If you have a mechanical approach, anyone can game the system and get a job  because humans can be like chameleons to present themselves as the right candidate, and they can study for the interview.  Only way IMO is to have that 3rd eye or whatever you call it... instinct, gut feeling, etc<p>The problem with this conclusion is that instinct and sexism/racism are often conflated.<p>No good answer.
