Taxi Magic is hiring, and it’s an exciting time to be here!  Given all the interviews that we’re conducting, I thought it would be appropriate to provide some advice (the best candidates might find this blog post, right?)

The average candidate will try to demonstrate how their skills fit the job.  In reality, this strategy is sure to seem bland (all the other candidates are doing it).

The standout candidate focuses on what the job interview is actually about:  demonstrating your ability to be a partner.

Being a partner goes beyond saying that you’re a team player.  It’s about showing that you’re human, and that you care; You care not just about the work, but about the other humans in the room.

Alternatively, you could apply to companies that pretend that the work is completely impersonal (widget, meet cog), but why would you ever want to do that?
