Like the cat, you're either alive or dead until someone opens the box. There's that brief period after the interview, when, if it you haven't been escorted out by security, you don't really know. A happy period, but a tense one. Life holds possibility, some of it bad. The phone rings and your heart rate rises even higher than it usually does. It's actually a kind of relief when it turns out to be a relative just wanting to borrow money. Or wanting the money back that you borrowed.
Quantum physics has more to offer on the interview process, however. Central to the job interview is the point that the observer affects the outcome of the experiment. No interview question can be asked without adding to the experience of the interviewee. Just sitting in the interview space, looking at the interviewers, has changed the interviewee.
Consider what this means if the interviewer asks the candidate a question that surprises and shocks. What is this experiment observing? The character of the candidate, or the character of the interviewer?
