[...] If, for your own twisted reasons, you wish to set some kind of a speed record for hire-to-fire, you’re going to want to set up your scenario properly. It is very important, therefore, to find a healthy organization and trick them into hiring you. I’m defining “healthy organization” broadly as one that is slow to hire and quick to fire. Generally speaking, they’re slow to hire because they are trying very hard to find the right person for the job.

I can say quite definitely that I’ll be doing this for my next interview, whenever that may be. I think it’s a great idea.

What a great idea! I’ve been looking for creative ways to stand out in an interview. This one is great. Not only is it different, but it’s a benefit to the company (which, of course, if exactly what the company is looking for!)
Thanks!
