和田 圭祐 (Keisuke Wada)

Some great interview/reference questions in response to this post - consolidating them below. What else would you add? - Show me your Uber/Lyft passenger rating - What’s the nicest thing someone has done for you - If you were not doing this, what would you be doing and why (the best people think about opportunity cost a lot and have given what they’re doing and the potential alternatives a lot of thought) - Tell me about the most difficult project that you worked on in your life (professional or personal); what was motivating you - What percentile would you rank yourself among your peers (you can define "peer"); what separates you from the one ahead or behind - Ask a story about a topic you want to hear (eg customer obsession) and then ask again “that was a great story, have another?”; but the trick is to ask for 3 stories, by the 3rd the answer wasn't prepared - If we hire you and 6 months from now it didn’t work out, what’s your best guess of why that would be - Walk me through the most difficult or challenging thing you went through - A question on their past partners (in relationships we tend to project our child-side, especially in how we handle stress and conflict) - Of your harshest critics, which criticism do you agree with the most or find to be the most true - How would you give me bad news if you had to - Best way to interview someone is by assessing the questions they ask you - What kind of person do other people become around them (when doing reference checks) - What's the hardest thing you've ever done - What did you do to prepare for this interview today

Be right and contrarian.
