The questions that Google will make you during a job interview


We read in Entrepreneur magazine the questions that Google is making to its candidates during job interviews

An article about some questions that Google makes to its potential candidates during job interview

They remind us to some of the questions that you will get during consulting, investment banking or other similar jobs in the recruiting process.

Some examples of these questions are:

How many piano tuners are there in the entire world?

How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap?

Design an evacuation plan for San Francisco.

Reader participation in your website: Crowdsourced interviews (crowdinterviewing)


We live in the time of crowdsourcing.

Crowdsourcing is the name of the game

Knowledge crowdsourcing with the Wikipedia

Q&A crowdsourcing with Quora

Travel advice crowdsourcing with TripAdvisor

New projects and start-ups crowdfunding (crowdsourcing), with projects such as Kickstarter or Lánzanos

Secrets crowdsourcing with WikiLeaks

[…]

Dilmot brings you a new type of crowdsourcing: make a crowdsourced interview. Get the questions from the floor! You can combine journalism with reader participation in a unique way, because Dilmot allows you to combine questions that you make and also that the visitors make. The visitors will be able to send their questions to the guest. Normally this platform is used by the web versions of newspapers and magazines that want to engage users with new content and give them the exclusive opportunity to talk with VIPs.

You can publish the crowdsourced interview as a continuous stream, so the questions and answers flow in real-time without any delay or need to refresh the browser, unlike what happens with many traditional solutions.

We could coin the term crowdinterviewing, following the same logic as crowdfunding 🙂

Dilmot listed as a digital journalist tool in clasesdeperiodismo.com


We are proud to announce that Dilmot has been included in the directory of tools for digital journalists in clasesdeperiodismo.com.
