I am tired of well read people who say the most politically correct, business centric & sensible sounding things and voila have no individual thought nor drive of their own. I have to constantly guard myself against this as well – it is easy to fall into the trap of just generally saying the ‘right’ [...]
We keep looking for these three characteristics in people when we hire and it is saddening to see how less we see of it. In the last year we have gone through over 10K resumes and have interviewed a couple of thousand people and I see very few people with real talent, interest and curiosity. [...]
