How would you move Mount Fuji?

Microsoft's cult of the puzzle

By Poundstone, William

Publishers Summary:
"For the first time, William Poundstone reveals the toughest questions used at Microsoft and other Fortune 500 companies - and supplies the answers. He traces the rise and controversial fall of employer-mandated IQ tests, the peculiar obsessions of Bill Gates (who plays jigsaw puzzles as a competitive sport), the sadistic mind games of Wall Street (which reportedly led one job seeker to smash a forty-third-story window), and the bizarre excesses of today's hiring managers (who may start off an interview with a box of Legos or a game of virtual Russian roulette)." "Managers seeking the most talented employees will learn to incorporate puzzle interviews in their search for the top candidates. Job seekers will discover how to tackle even the most brain-busting questions and gain the advantage that could win the job of a lifetime."--BOOK JACKET.
