Nine Minutes with God. Part II via Macintosh Network News >Upside.com has a feature article titled, "Nine Minutes with God," which has the "inside story behind Steve Jobs' 'reformation'--and why Apple is still looking for a new CEO." Scott Stevenson (of Cacti.org fame) notes that in a recent book, "In the Company of Giants," Jobs describes his interview style: "For example, many times in an interview I will purposely upset someone: I'll criticize their prior work. I'll do my homework, find out what they worked on and say, 'God, that really turned out to be a bomb. That really turned out to be a bozo product. Why did you work on that?' I should say this in your book, but the worse thing that someone can do in an interview is to agree with me and knuckle under. What I look for is for someone to come right back and say, 'You're dead wrong and here's why.' I want to see what people are like under pressure. I want to see if they just fold or if they have firm conviction, belief, and pride in what they did."< Just in case anyone on this thread should happen to interview with Mr. Jobs. soup
