Episode notes

The insight from the podcast is that there are four distinct interview styles with variations: charmers prioritize making a personal connection and enjoy interviews as a performance; challengers are highly skeptical and ask tough questions to figure out the candidate's qualifications; examiners view interviews as a test and focus on proving their qualifications without sharing personal stories; harmonizers aim to adapt and fit into the team by being collaborative and warm. These styles can lead to crossed wires during the interview process as they have different approaches and expectations.
