Overview

Interviews are unfair and will remain so, no matter how hard we try they can never evaluate people 100% objectively with clear measurables; and the intuition and gut feel of the interviewer will always add a small bias.

Key Points

• curiosity - questioning the unquestioned
• high bias for action - moving fast and breaking things
• extreme ownership - accountability and getting things done

Takeaway

While every interviewer has their own biases, demonstrating these three will always earn you brownie points increasing the likelihood of you making a strong impression during interviews and, as an extension, at work.
