But let's say that you're on an interview for a director of music position at a small Baptist church, and for that interview you're sitting on at one side of a table with five "interviewers" on the other side of the table. However, despite this committee being invited to jump in with questions at any time, one person is doing 80-90 percent of the interviewing/questioning, with one other person doing virtually all the rest. That's fine, no problem, but here is my question: As the person being interviewed, when answering these questions, should you generally be responding to just the person asking the questions -- with regards to eye contact, nonverbal communication, etc. -- or should you be communicating to the set of interviewers as a whole, responding to each of them at some point during your response? (This is made more difficult, I might add, by the fact that the person doing the bulk of the interviewing is at the far end of the table.)
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
