Comments on: Consult while job hunting? http://www.almostgotit.com/2007/07/05/consult-while-job-hunting/ With every failure my reputation grows Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:20:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Duckworth Peslar http://www.almostgotit.com/2007/07/05/consult-while-job-hunting/#comment-480 Duckworth Peslar Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:07:09 +0000 http://www.almostgotit.com/2007/07/05/consult-while-job-hunting/#comment-480 I think that the interviewing process is a two-way street: one gets the opportunity to suss out the prospective employer and has the opportunity to get "the feel" of the organization. There are many measures of compatibility that one can take and, I think, that yours is an interesting way of putting it.

The fact that an interview -- indeed, the whole job-acquisition process -- is a two-way street is often forgotten about in the rush to be "the perfect interview" who makes no mistakes. In fact, I suspect that some interviewees must come across sounding like that dreadful brown-noser from <em>Leave it To Beaver,</em> Eddy Haskell. Not that an interviewee can get away with anything less than excellence, but he/she needs to keep her own eyes and ears open as well. What I found most interesting about my friends' comments was the idea that there are other alternatives besides a straight "yes" or "no" when it comes to making an employment decision.
