Maria Fernandez is a bright, popular and well informed
mechanical engineer who graduated with an engineering
degree from state university in June 2003. uring the spring preceding her graduation. !he went out on
many "obs interviews, most of which she thought were
conducted courteously and were reasonably useful in giving
both her and prospective employer a good impression ofwhere each of them stood on matters of importance to both of
them.
#t was, therefore, with great anticipation that she loo$ed for an
interview with the one firm in which she most wanted to wor$%
ape& environmental. 'here she thought she could have a
successful career while ma$ing the world better place.

(he interview, however, was a disaster. Maria wal$ed into a room in which five men
began throwing )uestion at her that she felt were aimed primarily at tripping her up
rather than finding out what she could offer through her engineering s$ills. (he
)uestions ranged from unnecessarily discourteous,
(“Why would you take a job as a waitress in college if you are such an
intelligent person?”)
(“Are you planning on settling down and starting a family anytime soon?”)
(hen, after the interview, she met with of the gentlemen individually *including the
president+ and the discussion focused almost e&clusively on her technical e&pertise.
!he thought that these later discussion went fairly well. owever, given the apparent
aimlessness and even mean-spiritedness of the panel interview, she was astonished
when several days later she got a "ob offer from the firm.

(he offer forced her to consider several matters. From her point of view, the "ob
itself was perfect-she li$ed what she would be doing, the industry, and the firms
location. /nd in fact, the president had been )uite courteous in subse)uent
discussions, as had been the other members of the management team.
!he was left wondering whether the panel interview had been intentionally tense
to see how shed stand up under pressure, and. #f so, why they would do such a
thing.
