Suppose you have been invited to a job interview, and halfway through, you come face to face with an awkward question and an awkward silence. You need some distraction to buy you time to think. Perhaps you need some on-the-spot advice.
The basic website would be a service where you can enter details
such as the name and telephone/fax/pages number of you interviewer. A small panic button hidden in your shoetip would send a signal to the website to start distracting your interviewer with strange phone calls, pager messages, etc.
The Premium service would give you a human operator - Matrix style - in your interview. The operator would listen in on the interview via a modified cellphone you carry on you, and give you advice on how to answer difficult questions through a wireless earpiece.

BTW, I don't mind people thinking in interviews. Unfortunately, it's all too rare. |

I've been told by many* people that they would rather have a potential employer who asks for a minute to consider, pauses to think about an answer, and replies with a bit of thought; instead of someone who just rattles off an answer that they think sounds good. Unfortunately, these sort of interviewers may be a minority. |
