Imagine arriving at a job interview and finding yourself beside another candidate — in front of the interviewer.
The interviewer says:
Your job is to get the person sitting next to you to get a second interview …….. Help your partner succeed …….. make your partner look good.
Richard Sheridan from Menlo Innovations explains:
You’re thinking ‘but I need a second interview’ – aha, help the person sitting next to you, that’s [the capacity] we’re gonna watch for. Because we work in pairs.
