Jeff Bezos on his favorite interview question
“When I interview people, I ask them to give me an example of something they've invented. And I always point out, it doesn't have to be something that you actually took to the patent office. It could be a metric that you invented and followed carefully. It could be a business process that you invented. You want to select people who like to invent their way out of boxes.”
A lot of people will immediately jump to what Jeff calls an “either or” solution (e.g. “We can do A or B.”). But as Jeff explains:
“The right question is how can we do A and B? What invention do we need to be able to do both?”
@jet2tweets shambles how you’re describing Caretta paradise as a 4 star. Shambles of a holiday. Completely unhelpful staff. Absolutely shocking. The hotel is a disgrace

Staff shout about an app and tell us nothing ,sent you to a golf cart that was just expecting tips. You want me to carry on after the 1st day?
