You&amp;#x27;ve been doing interviews every week. They&amp;#x27;re mostly rejections. They&amp;#x27;re the same questions over and over with minor variation. You&amp;#x27;re about to repeat the experience for the 18th time and you&amp;#x27;re 100% on autopilot. But suddenly you&amp;#x27;re in a spy thriller. This is the greatest thing that&amp;#x27;s ever happened.&lt;p&gt;Is it a good legal&amp;#x2F;corporate decision to hide the person who claims to be the original and let him listen to the interview with the other candidate? Holy fuck, no. Is it going to be WAY more thrilling? Oh my god yes; how could you not?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>PragmaticPulp</author><text>&amp;gt; Is it a good legal&amp;#x2F;corporate decision to hide the person who claims to be the original and let him listen to the interview with the other candidate?&lt;p&gt;Consider the situation from the perspective of the interviewer: They don&amp;#x27;t have all of the background we did while reading this blog. They haven&amp;#x27;t even had time to process what Connor #1 said by the time that Connor #2 arrives.&lt;p&gt;The decision to hear them both out for a few minutes is reasonable, IMO. At that point in time, Connor #1 could have been lying as far as the interviewer knew. Letting them both exist in the meeting immediately cleared up any confusion.</text></comment>

It would probably be one of the most memorable job interviews of all time.&lt;p&gt;And I doubt there would be too many legal or corporate ramifications from allowing someone else to be on the call with their camera off. These are contractor positions, not full-time. Frankly, it&amp;#x27;s a risk I would take to be able to witness this sort of thing in real-time.</text></comment>
