Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
The applicant should do 80 percent of the talking during the interview, and what he talks about should be your main concern. But you have a great deal of control here by being an active listener. Keep in mind you only have an hour or so to listen. When you ask a question, a garrulous or nervous person might go on and on with his answer long after you’ve lost interest. Most of us will sit and listen until the end out of courtesy. Instead, you should interrupt and stop him, because if you don’t, you are wasting your only asset—the interview time, in which you have to get as much information and insight as possible. So when things go off the track, get them back on quickly. Apologize if you like, and say, “I would like to change the subject to X, Y, or Z.” The interview is yours to control, and if you don’t, you have only yourself to blame.

en moins de dix ans, entre 1990 et 2000, la Russie postcommuniste est passée du statut de pays qui avait réduit les inégalités monétaires à l’un des plus bas niveaux observés dans l’histoire à celui d’un des pays les plus inégalitaires du monde.
