Mark Stelzner On Messing Up The Job Interview

Mark Stelzner On Messing Up The Job Interview I read this story from Mark Stelzner, who is kind of a big deal in the HR space (hes a BIG deal): One Sunny Morning In the story Mark talks about how he was on the way to a job interview, and there was an accident, and he helped, and, well, because he helped the interview went all kinds of sideways. Ill let you read it in Marks own words, it is a short read, a very interesting story, and a SUPER ending (no, he didnt get the job, the ending happened years and years later).   GO READ IT. So how was the interview messed up? Was it Marks fault? No. I hope that we would all do what Mark did, taking the time to help someone not die. The interview was messed up by the hiring manager. I dont necessarily blame him, although I hope that in his same shoes I would have asked Mark for an explanation of why he looked the way he did. (seriously, if you havent read Marks story, go here. You wont regret it :)) I love the follow-up story of the recruiter, and the choices she made. People, heres my request to you: We are all human, but lets work to be more humane. Yes, the world spins rapidly. Were trying to keep up with life, family, work, etc. But we have to slow down and care about humans, hearts, and minds. There is a lot of hurt around us, and we could all stand to gain from slowing down and helping others.
