During a recent job interview, an unexpected moment of empathy took center stage. The interviewer noticed that the candidate seemed exhausted and downcast, so instead of jumping straight into standard questions, he asked a simple yet caring one: “Have you had breakfast?” The candidate admitted he hadn’t. Without hesitation, the interviewer decided to order food, allowing the applicant to eat and gather himself before proceeding. This small act of kindness not only showcased a compassionate approach but also highlighted the importance of recognizing the human aspect in professional settings.
“This guy just came in for an interview looking all tired and sad, my first question was “have you had breakfast?”, he said “no sir”. I don order food give my guy, make he chop him sorrow away before interview”.
Sometimes, understanding an individual’s needs can be the best start to a meaningful conversation
