Interview

What about...

I'm curious, like, what about, for example, the... excitement to work at the particular company or the particular space, right? It was like, there's the classic, like, you know, when they interview venture capitalists and venture investors, they'd be like, hey, what kind of funder do you want to invest in, right? And usually it's like, the question of the flavor is like, oh, you could invest in someone who has a lot of experience, right? Like a second or third time funder, you could invest in, I don't know, like someone who's super smart or you can invest in someone who just really, really wants it, right? Who's like hungry.

And they're always like, oh, I want to pick that person who's like really, really hungry.

So it's like, if that translates to kind of what you're hiring as well.

No.

So yeah, Mark, go ahead.

But I didn't want to kind of get a little more into like the interview process itself.

Yeah.

Okay.

So moving on to, do we have a discussion about interview shows?

Yes.

I have done, I've published four interviews since we last talked.

Has the Atari podcast website been slow for you guys? When I go to it now, it's just like, it seems like it takes forever to load.

I don't know if it's having problems or what, but...

I have done four interviews.

Let's see.

where I couldn't even get phone calls returned.

I couldn't get any interviews.

There were no jobs to be had.

If I reached someone at an office, they would tell me that his job is gone and they're closing down in two months.

There's a lot of stories there.

And I just thought, why not put that together? That's what started my interest in really taking writing more seriously and also thinking, how many architects have written about being an architect? And there's really not that many that write just true sort of biographical.

A lot of them are very prompted and curated interviews, you know, or again, essays or critiques of buildings or of movements or like I said, intellectual discourses.

But what about just writing what happens in an architecture office or what an architect does and write for a mainstream audience, which is what Confidential was.

Unsure why that's important at all, but just highlighting how often dates are relied on to deny asylum, sometimes, but of course not against people unaccustomed to putting such importance into exact dates.

So, too, some inconsistency between the in-court testimony, where Mr. A-Q-R-K was prepped and had an attorney, and his credible fear interview when he probably didn't, as to just how he learned that the Taliban intelligence officers were after him.

Probably doesn't help to the BIA that Germany rejected Mr. A-Q-R-K's asylum application previously, and that he's traveled through a lot of places, and that the I-589 isn't entirely clear on where and when it seems.

Some more stuff, too, to be honest, but it's incredibly fact-specific, and I'm not sure why it was made presidential.

But she's been ordered removed before and actually removed, and so when she entered unlawfully again, DHS reinstated the prior order of removal.

Happened again in twenty twenty, and when caught in twenty twenty-five, DHS reinstated again.

When she expressed a fear of return, an asylum officer provided her a reasonable fear interview, but said she didn't have a reasonable fear that could get her withholding of removal if provided the opportunity before an immigration judge.

An IJ affirmed that, and it is that that Ms. Sebastian Perez now petitions for review.

Not to mention, I just know that she's so good at her job because she's a listener of the show, to be honest.

And people who are good at their job care about their job and want to interview well and therefore they listen to the show.

But also...

Quoting the exact episode numbers of the internal.

notebook.

So good.

Now, why does this happen? Why do they make you interview for your own job when clearly you've been

excelling? Yeah, you hear people when they're applying for a job saying, And then maybe they find out that an internal person got the job.
