out of the box, indeed
"Tell me about a time where you thought out of the box," said my interviewer, literally reading off of a card given to her by HR.
And so I spoke of a staffing need where I needed very senior people but I couldn't promise steady work. And I found exactly these people: the many new mothers in my life. A mutually beneficial solution, to be sure, but perhaps my phrasing could have been better.
"...and so I tapped a bunch of new Moms."
I decided to break the deathly silence myself. "I think you should go ahead and laugh at me now instead of later."
