New on my Forbes blog PINK SLIPPED: Job-interview-palooza


I've got a new post up on my Forbes blog PINK SLIPPED. This time, I go on job interviews. I conclude interviews are a waste of time, resumes are worthless, and getting hired is dumb luck.
The CEO is wearing cowboy boots. We're sitting in a meeting room. There is a big screen TV and a sectional sofa. The CEO went to Princeton. I know this because I searched him on Google before I got here. He wants to know if he hires me, will I watch videos of cats skateboarding while I am at work? I tell him, no, I will not watch videos of cats skateboarding while I am at work. I try to recall if I have ever seen a video of a cat skateboarding. I have not.
