on somewhat unrelated subject, i thought it would be interesting.
i am working with a professional admission consultant and we were working on interviewing skills. One of the videos they showed on how NOT to do interviews was Sarah Palin Couric interview.
And one of the examples of how to handle tough questions was Obama.
It was interesting to understand the science behind why Palin interview left such a bad aftertaste, even though aside from 1-2 questions it seemed ok if you just look at the transcript, and how Obama even avoiding the tough questions seemed a lot more genuine.
I guess his advisers did a much better jobs or he's a better actor.
