My partner and I own a video production company in San Diego (Crystal Pyramid Productions) and have been on location for many interviews over the last 27 years, some with celebrities, and some with experts in their field.
The one that really stands out for me is of Marshall Goldsmith, an executive coach, speaker and teacher who works with America’s top CEO’s. The interview was conducted at his home. He sat down in the interviewee chair and said he was almost ready to begin; he just needed to do one thing. He put his hands together like a Yogi and said, “Oommmm.” like Jim Carrey does in “Ace Ventura” just before he says “All righty then.”
Marshall then looked at the crew and belted out, “Hollywood! Da dee da da da Hollywood!” It cracked everyone up, lightened the mood in the room and he went on to deliver one of the best interviews I’ve heard. He’s a happy man and he loves for everyone to be happy, too.

I was the director of marketing at a local children’s theater, and I was interviewing candidates for an associate position. This non-profit had OLD furniture, long discarded by other organizations, and I was sitting in an office chair that had seen better days.
As this woman is telling me something about her experience, I realized that my suit jacket had caught in some metal in the base of the seat. I tried nonchalantly, and discreetly, to disentangle myself from the chair, all the while trying to listen to the jobseeker. I could feel myself panicking; if I cannot get myself out of this, how do I stand up to shake her hand when the interview is over? Do I casually remove my jacket and leave it embedded in the chair?
Finally, I interrupt her. “This is really embarrassing,” I said, “but my jacket is stuck in the chair.” The young woman quickly got up and began to work on removing the jacket (which by now I had taken off), all the while staying very professional! Eventually, the suit jacket came out, I hired “the girl who rescued me from my chair” and we worked together happily for 9 years!

I had just graduated from college and was scheduled to have several interviews, at one company, throughout the day beginning early in the morning. The first interview I had was with a person with the exact job I would have if I started with them.
He was quite young and seemed very nervous. As we talked, he kept scratching his face with his pen, out of nervousness. What he didn’t realize was that the cap was not on the pen. By the time the interview was over, he had red pen marks all over his face and didn’t know it!
I had my final interview with a VP late in the afternoon. His office was floor to ceiling windows and I was facing the abundant sunshine as it poured through the glass. As he told me how great it was to work at this company, I started to feel drowsy. I did everything I could to stay alert and awake! But, alas, the warmth was too much and I fell asleep. When I woke up, he was gone, the lights were off in his office and there was a note on my lap that said “You snore very loudly!” Nope, didn’t get the job.
