Interesting Experiences from Job Interviews – Part 1

I have always sought innovative and effective methods in job interviews to identify extraordinary individuals who can drive rapid growth and progress within an organization. The experiences I share here stem from years of striving to build meaningful connections and uncover true talent. I also used ChatGPT to prepare this article and its English translation.

This is Part 1 of a series documenting my experiences in discovering and hiring individuals I call “Gladiators of Growth and Progress.”

Chinese Astrology: A Bridge to Deeper Connections

One of the tools I’ve used in some interviews is Chinese astrology. Rooted in China’s 5,000-year-old civilization, this system is based on the 12 Zodiac Animals and the Five Elements. Beyond being a cultural belief, it is a practical tool for understanding individuals.

Using this method in interviews aims to create an open and friendly atmosphere that unlocks deeper conversations. Importantly, astrology is not a basis for judgment, but rather a tool that taps into the subconscious mind of candidates, enabling the most honest and insightful responses.

My Personal Experience in Job Interviews

Using Chinese astrology in interviews has yielded remarkable results. It has helped me:

• Break the ice and foster a warm, engaging environment.
• Shift candidates out of formal, tense states, encouraging deeper dialogue.
• Gain a clearer understanding of their true personality and motivations.

Conclusion

In today’s world, combining traditional tools with modern approaches can lead to extraordinary results. My experience has shown that methods like Chinese astrology in job interviews enhance communication and provide opportunities to discover unique talents. This method is not about judgment but about opening doors to conversations and uncovering authentic personalities, making it a powerful tool for talent acquisition.
