Did you get the kind of information you were hoping for? The open-ended questions seem to leave a lot up to the respondents' assumptions about what the goal of the exercise is.Henning Makholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299831550580392748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-90820053007932869522010-08-02T16:55:14.121-04:002010-08-02T16:55:14.121-04:00OK, done.

Job seekers are conditioned to respond in a way that will make them sound professional, even if it's doing them a disservice by not being authentic.
