Interview

In watching the VP Harris interview on CNN, I was reminded of being back in school where everyone preferred a multiple choice test over an essay written test and it gave me an idea on how to ask tough question and still make for an easy interview. You can ask how would you deal with problem X. Would you use solution A or solution B or solution C and let them choose. This way the interviewer offers answers to their own questions. These can be figured out ahead of time to give the best possible answers. Here is an example from the interview. Question by the interviewer. How should voters look at some of the changes that you've made? Is it because you have more experience now and you've learned more about the information? Is it because you're running for president now. Obviously the first is the preferred answer but Harris chose neither even though good managers realize that they often have to change positions when new information becomes available. Harris answered by saying, my values have not changed.
