In an age of professional resumes, it's difficult to tell much about candidates you are interviewing.
One way to assess them is to have them write up "minutes" after a job interview. Victoria Buyniski, CEO of $5-million United Medical
Resources Inc., in Cincinnati, has used the approach to hire each of the 91 employees who staff her health-care-administration business--from the mail
room to the executive suite.
Candidates who don't come off well in a face-to-face interview will often show promotable attributes in their
writing, while others describe a job markedly different from what Buyniski has to offer, indicating potential communication problems.
"Three pages dashed off in 15 minutes tells me they are producers." she says. "lots of cross-outs tell me that
people couldn't even match their socks very easily."
