I talked with Washington, DC's WTOP News this July Fourth about job interviews--namely, my recent story on psychologists at job interviews. More and more companies are turning to industrial-organizational psychologists for help filtering the best executive and managerial candidates from the piles of resumes on their desks (and in their E-mail).

Re: Snap Decisions

I've been reading "Blink" and according to the author and some studies discussed in it a snap decision isn't necessarily a bad one. If the decision is made within three minutes then you only have to be REALLY impressive right when you meet them. Then you can relax a bit and be regularly impressive.
If the snap decisions are biased then I guess the psychologist can only be good news, especially if they're also just asking job related questions.
