5/14

Maria Fernandez is a bright, popular and well informed

mechanical engineer who graduated with an engineering

degree from state university in June 2003. uring the spring preceding her graduation. !he went out on

many "obs interviews, most of which she thought were

conducted courteously and were reasonably useful in giving

both her and prospective employer a good impression ofwhere each of them stood on matters of importance to both of

them.

#t was, therefore, with great anticipation that she loo$ed for an

interview with the one firm in which she most wanted to wor$%

ape& environmental. 'here she thought she could have a

successful career while ma$ing the world better place.


6/14

(he interview, however, was a disaster. Maria wal$ed into a room in which five men

began throwing )uestion at her that she felt were aimed primarily at tripping her up

rather than finding out what she could offer through her engineering s$ills. (he

)uestions ranged from unnecessarily discourteous,

(“Why would you take a job as a waitress in college if you are such an

intelligent person?”)

(“Are you planning on settling down and starting a family anytime soon?”)

(hen, after the interview, she met with of the gentlemen individually *including the

president+ and the discussion focused almost e&clusively on her technical e&pertise.

!he thought that these later discussion went fairly well. owever, given the apparent

aimlessness and even mean-spiritedness of the panel interview, she was astonished

when several days later she got a "ob offer from the firm.


7/14

(he offer forced her to consider several matters. From her point of view, the "ob

itself was perfect-she li$ed what she would be doing, the industry, and the firms

location. /nd in fact, the president had been )uite courteous in subse)uent

discussions, as had been the other members of the management team.

!he was left wondering whether the panel interview had been intentionally tense

to see how shed stand up under pressure, and. #f so, why they would do such a

thing.
