Let's dispense with the pressures, pleasantries and formalities of the interview process. This could be used at career fairs or on college campuses. Representatives from a large number of hiring companies will have 2 or 3 minutes with each perspective candidate before they move on. At the end of the
day, each candidate will get a list of invitations for more a more formal interviews, which they can choose to accept or reject.

"for 'amore' formal interviews" Speed dating, remember? |

Pleasantries often waste a lot of valuable time and I never know how to make the transition to the serious stuff. Cutting out pleasantries would certainly help me. Since first contact was already made even the more formal interview could skip most pleasantries. |

Isn't this what happens at career fairs anyway? Prospective employee chats with employer and they can take it further if they want. |

I thought this would be like the chapter in the book "Trainspotting" where the characters Rents and Spud are interviewed for jobs they don't want whilst zooming off their chops on amphetamine sulphate. In the movie, it was a hilarious scene. + |

Speed interviewing:
"Can you start on Monday?"
"Yes"
Job done. |

This automatically happens anyway. I thought it was common knowledge that an interviewer had decided whether a candidate was suitable or not within the first 90 seconds of an interview. The rest of the time is spent trying to obtain evidence to support the gut feel. |
