Effective Interviewing

In the 1994 movie "The Mask," Jim Carrey turns from wimp to mischief-seeking hero by concealing his true identity. The real world is not much different. While you might not be interviewing candidates with a slick green face and protruding teeth it is often difficult to determine who the real person is beneath the mask and to reveal which mask they put on for your job interview.
