Interviews are dreaded by many job seekers, particularly the infamous “curveball” questions used by recruiting managers and CEOs. The CEO and creator of JKR Windows, an American window installation company, Jefferson K. Rogers, has drawn notice for his unusual interview technique: a trick question intended to weed out unsuitable applicants.
“Impossible” Question: An Assessment of Sincerity and Coachability
Rogers posted his unique approach to interviews on his TikTok channel. He asks a question that he is certain the interviewee will be unable to respond to right away. Although the exact question is still unknown, Rogers stresses that there is no “right” response. The twist is this: The CEO is more interested in the candidate’s approach to the unknown than in knowledge.
What He Looks For:
Sincerity: Is the applicant willing to acknowledge when they don’t know the solution?
Openness: Are they amenable to picking up new skills?
Coachability: Are they open to direction and instruction?
A candidate who tries to make up an answer, in Rogers’ opinion, is showing signs of a potentially troublesome personality—someone who is resistive to learning or hesitant to acknowledge their shortcomings.
Divergent Responses on Social Media
Although Rogers describes this technique as a useful means of determining fit, TikTok users had a variety of reactions.
Supporters: Some argue that the strategy is advantageous because it shows a candidate’s coachability and willingness to learning.
Critics: According to others, it’s a bad strategy that could stop competent applicants from attempting to solve a problem or show their resolve by trying to provide a response. Furthermore, others consider the approach to be manipulative, arguing that it puts a particular response ahead of a true comprehension of the role.
Different Methods for Evaluating Fit
Although the “impossible question” generates discussion, there are alternative methods to assess a candidate’s fit for a role:
Behavioral Interviewing: Highlighting the candidate’s prior experiences and how they responded to particular circumstances can provide important context for understanding how they solve problems and approach new tasks.
Skills-Based Evaluations: An applicant’s suitability for a position can be determined immediately by testing pertinent abilities such technical proficiency, communication, and critical thought.
Fit Between the Work Style and Values of the Company: An interview’s questions and exchanges can reveal whether a candidate’s work style and values complement the company’s culture.
The success of any interview technique ultimately depends on the particular position and business. Although Rogers’ deceptive question might be useful to his organization, it’s crucial to think about other approaches to guarantee a thorough interview process that draws in and selects the top candidates.
Cruise and Kidman’s Adopted Children, This is How Their Entire Adult Child Looks Like
This dynamic duo was hailed as one of Hollywood’s most formidable and visually stunning pairs. However, their journey to parenthood took a different route as they faced the challenge of not having biological children. In a heartwarming turn of events in 1992, the actor chose to embrace fatherhood by adopting a young girl.
Their adopted son was merely six years old when the union between the parents dissolved. In the aftermath of their separation, a legal decision mandated that both parties share parental responsibilities for their children.
Despite Kidman’s bustling schedule filled with acting commitments and globetrotting adventures, she struggled to carve out time for her offspring. Fast forward to today, and we catch a glimpse of Isabella, their adopted daughter, all grown up.
Kidman found herself powerless to shield her children from the influence of her husband, who had delved deeply into the realms of Scientology. Faced with limited options, she reluctantly relinquished control.
Interestingly, history seemed to repeat itself as the man’s subsequent marriage also crumbled under the strain of Scientology. Meanwhile, Nicole embarked on a new chapter, exchanging vows with a talented guitarist and embracing the joys of parenthood with their biological offspring.
As time wore on, the once-close bond between the renowned actress and her adopted children faded into obscurity. It’s only recently that they resurfaced, captured together for the first time in two years.
