“What questions can I answer for you?” I asked the interview candidate. We had finished working through some technical problems, and I was ready to gauge his curiosity and passion toward the product, the team, and the mission.

“I don’t really have any,” he replied.

Apparently, he already knew all there was to know about the company after a couple of interviews, and there was nothing more I could add. It was the weakest reply he could’ve given if he wanted to show excitement for the job, and yet, he wasn’t the only smart person I’ve interviewed who’s given that response.

I’ve interviewed roughly 500 people in the past eight years, across Google, Ooyala, and Quora, mostly for engineering positions, but also for positions in management, data science, and product. In nearly every interview, I offer candidates a chance to turn the tables and grill me on questions.

They say the average person puts more time into planning their vacation than they do into planning their life. I guess that’s what makes the average person… well, average.

2 weeks ago, we discussed ads of scary and touching elements. Let's take it further.

1. What are the most impressive ads in your mind that right now you can still recall them?
2. Can you name some successful or unsuccessful catchy jingles? (以詩歌和春光佐茶、整個城市都是我的咖啡館、只有遠傳沒有距離、GEICO's Salamander、27662000、伊~必朗、愛之味、有seven-eleven真好)

Is it 'evil' that Google wants to change society?

By Echo Chambers Opinion and analysis from around the world

Google co-founder Larry Page has grand ambitions for his company

In 1998 Google was founded with a mission to "organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". But the company's co-founder and chief executive Larry Page recently said in an interview with Richard Waters of the Financial Times that it might be time to retire that sentiment to make room for new endeavours.

Tips from a comedian and a journalist on the art of going from small talk to big ideas — all summer long.
