Rumour had it that Friedkin’s film was cursed, after a fire almost destroyed the set and injuries and even death befell some of the actors and their relatives. If The Conjuring – right down to its bold yellow titles – wants to be this generation’s take on The Exorcist, it’s managed it in a disturbing manner. While this all feels harmless enough, Wilson grows a shade darker when we start talking about on-set paranormal experiences. “She said, ‘Sometimes kids’ spirits want to play.’” And that used to freak my wife out.” He quizzed Lorraine about it. “Unrelated to these movies, I’ve heard people on two different occasions say they’ve heard kids’ laughter in the middle of the night, in my house.

In any marketing exercise, product differentiation is the goal. When you go to an interview, you are engaged in a marketing effort. In achieving this, you moved the conversation away from a negative tone to a positive tone. You are now going to be thought of as “Morgan-like.” You will, therefore, be in a unique category by yourself. You got the name of the ghost, and you aligned yourself with the ghost. As a result, your competitors will be evaluated by the decision-maker in relation to one another: “Of the three people I met, I would rank them in the following order,” the interviewer will say.īut you knew there was a ghost in the room. Like Macbeth’s guests in the banquet hall, your competitors are also unaware of the ghost in the interview room. I think you will find that Morgan and I have a similar approach.”Īfter the meeting, you want to alert your references to talk about you in ways that will confirm your statements at the meeting! Please ask them about how I approach problems. Is that correct? I hope we get to the step of you checking my references. Now that you have the ghost’s name and the ghost’s special attributes, you are prepared to align yourself with that ghost: “If I can summarize what I heard you say, Morgan was special because she looked at the entire business first from your perspective rather than peeking out at the world through the functional view demanded of her by the job description.

Most interviews tend to focus on negative issues: Here is what is wrong. “Who is the best consultant you ever worked with?”Īsking this kind of question does two things for you: It moves the conversation to a positive theme, and it allows you to align yourself with the ghost.“Who is the best psychologist you ever worked with?”.“Who is the best attorney you ever worked with for an issue like this?”.“Who is the best person you ever hired in a job like this, whether it was at this company or another company?”.You can easily do so by asking a variation of a simple question: Like Macbeth’s guests at the feast, you are unable to see the ghost that haunts the decision-maker. You are about to walk into an interview room with a mission: secure an agreement that will benefit you. Now, let’s examine how Banquo’s ghost impacts your professional life.
