Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
01.07.14

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, January 7, 2014, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

Welcome to Leadership Lessons, the column that focuses on conversations with senior managers and leaders in the TV world, speaking candidly about their professional journeys and how that informs what they look for when hiring new employees.

What are your go-to interview questions?

Warren Packard, Founder and CEO Thuuz Sports:
What do you know now that you didn’t know then?
What are your favorite outdoor activities?
What was your most disappointing job?
What was your dirtiest/grimiest job?
Do you ready Cynopsis daily?

Marc Etkind, General Manager, DestinationAmerica: I run Destination America so I like to hear about people’s uniquely American experience– memories of family trips, unusual summer jobs, favorite regional foods, great US vacation spots, etc.

Tom Maney, EVP, Fox Hispanic Media: If you ask those who I have interviewed, you’d hear that I ask a lot of “non-traditional” questions. In the confines of a short interview, I try to learn as much as I can about the character of the candidate. I ask questions about music, success, failure, and I always ask my favorite question, a hypothetical situation involving driving a sports car on a dark and stormy night.

I look for “fit” at every level: how that person is going to handle the responsibilities of the position, but more important, how that person is going to work with and complement the existing team members. Character and drive are also very important.
