EDISON’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
EDISON’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
You have probably heard of the
Microsoft interview and the question they ask perspective employees there (how
would you move to mount Fuji ?). We all have our own stories to tell about weird
questions at job interview. But have you heard about how Thomas Alva Edison interviewed people who wanted to work
with him ? That’s

After the initial round of questions,
if Edison came across a bright candidate, he would take him out to dinner
before making up his mind on whether to hire him. The interview would continue
over dinner, and when the food arrived, Edison would take a bite and remark, ‘I
think this needs more salt!’ And he would watch the candidate.

tasting the food he would not be hired. However, if the candidate tasted the
food first and then decided if salt needed to be added, Edison would hire him.
