The main point I got out of it was this: You can get through to someone's "private self" by figuring out what it is that no one has asked them but that they wish they could tell people about. Other things: Not everyone will come through for you in this kind of interview, epecially modest people who believe everything in their lives happened by chance; and an interview of this type is more successful when the subject is old enough to know how things are going to turn out in their lives.
Loved this TED Talk! I just wanted to say though, modesty to me isn't because people believe that they got things by chance, its because they think what they've achieved isn't an individual effort, their were people and situations that helped them get to where they are so its wrong to kind of own it as an individual so I reckon modest people can also be interviewed, but maybe through questions that ask about who their influences are in their success or who they think they owe their success to and go from there.
I'm a high school senior who's applying to college and I have to go through some interviews. They're not the same his life series. But, it's an interesting perspective and backdrop.
It takes a courageous person to be honest in public. To put a name to the foibles and fears and mistakes and embrace all of it as part of a life lived is the mark of a person who understands the value of a legacy.
This is an extraordinary talk and what a fascinating man, he has such an intuitive insight. If only job interviews could be so engaging and interesting.
I've been on more than 100 interviews and I've learned it doesn't have to be complicated. People hire people they think are going to help them and people help people who they like. The person hiring was promoted because of some type of strength that other people noticed, so notice that, make it clear that you appreciate it and let them know you are confident in your ability to do the job.
Oh wow your only 19 and you like college level lectures on entertainment. Awesome! your so smart and unique and full of potential! My faith in humanity is restored. Kiddo
I'm in a similar position, but in the UK not US. I think I may have to go for an interview for a couple of Universities I've applied for, but my choice in subject rarely asks for interviews (Molecular Biology).
Funny how he mentions Frost v Nixon. As a 17 year old Brit, I only know Frost as the host of celebrity day time show "through the keyhole". Couldnt beleive it when I heard about the critical political waves he had caused! --- Great vid btw! Cheers.
Here in Canada we have a great show called "The Hour" and it's host George Stroumboulopoulos (yes that is his real last name) is an incredibly empathetic and gentle interviewer. He sees the good in everyone! He does have clips of some interviews on RUclips too!
Should The Government : A. provide education B. provide Health care C. provide community development programs, Information and / or services D. All of the above, & set straight any disinformation. Or E. None of the above. Close schools, slash healthcare & community programs, & support a disinformation policy. Next Question Do You : A. Trust the government & do nothing B. Distrust the government & do nothing C. Force choice D. on the government
this is very unhelpful instead of telling us how to conduct interviews and explaining the different ways he's bragging about the people we've never even heard of. Who even knows who this guy is no one cares about your fav interviews.
Marc Pachter is interesting and you can see that he's humble. I got a lot out of what he had to say. He's an inspiration
I love everything that constitutes this video experience.

wow this was fabulous. There were moments where I even got chills and it's really warm right now
not just listening, asking the right questions is just as important.

interesting lecture once he got rolling. I really wouldn't mind hearing more from this guy.

Great presentation about the interviews -- surprised it went over time!
I'd love to see the interviews he has referred to here. Especially Steve Martin.
Wow such great content
I like that the exit sign is green, as if to say "yes there is a fire, don't worry, come this way"

I loved this interview. Amazing! :)
Either this video is being reposted or he has given this talk before...but it is interesting to hear it again.

loved i.t
ugh the audio tech needs to wake up, there is a ring, and the gain is too high...
I mean COME ON
your not REPRESENTING us very well...
OMFG THANK YOU! NOW I'm staring at the mans head! And not listening to him, I will listen to him and not look at him next time.
I think he's having hair planted on his head, but he's only been to one session, so it's very noticeable, hehe.
wd. Did you notice the hair plug`s?.
dear IanEColeman, all elephants are gray, but not all gray animals are elephants...
I know I'm being a horrible person, but aside from how good the talk was, does he have implanted hair?
Yep, but until I win the lottery or a sponsored scholarship, I have to deal this whole goofy process.
we've all been teenagers. We already know what and how they think.
7:13 aw shucks
well just think of him as a brush like he said. Then it's easy to think it's natural someone pumped in some hairs on the top.
@jjmm112 enough with the hair plugs!
I would shuffle a bit the hair implants...
sorry, I can't understand this ted talk. Maybe I belong to the group that can not enjoy the E part in T E D?
I couldn't take my eyes off that horrendous hair transplant
I couldn't look away from my candy crush
@heatersens WHAT HAS BEEN SEEEEN.
because people find it interesting.
Toupees and hair plugs are so distracting. We men are so bad at this covering up our advancing age. It is better to just go white and or bald.
Gerald O'Hare didn’t notice it until I read this comment!!!
he'd look a lot better without that brush on top of his head
Yup. It looks unnatural. xD
Hairplugs...
Bizarre. He shouldn't have tampered with genetics.
lol, and your nick is "higher planes".
so true its disgusting
EASY!!!!!!!!!!lol
nchinn. LOL!!.
seriously?
yea, I stopped it after minute 5. He doesn't make any sense.
learned nothing from this guy, too full of himself for no reason. some nerf talking about never asking humble people on to the stage for an interview
@LazyStory, how old are you? i guess you are a teenager if you find this boring....
lol i'm 16. but i got really disturbed by his hair :)
