"The Formula"

This is a short, sweet, and to the point article about writing a business review. Many of the points that it makes in the sections are very helpful and really do bring about a good way to balance the information from an interview between personal life and what the article message is really about, how that person functions in the business. I really like the fact that this "formula" encourages the writer to put a little bit of creativity into their piece, making it a full circle, making the reader picture a scene unfolding in front of them. The only part that I found downright disturbing was the description of the man being viewed as the "candy-man" at church, he honestly sounds like someone I found find creepy and suspect of being a pedophile they way they describe him. I think there could have been a better way to phrase that feeling of kids loving him at the church and the fact that he always interacts with them. The personal side of this formula also seems a little pointless to me. I feel like life at home does not really reflect how that person makes decisions and conducts him/herself at the office. I think that it only hampers the view of the professional to include religion, hobbies, and that personal of information. It is fine to include that yes they do have a life and don't sleep on their office's couch every night, but I feel like it is easy to get overly precise over that information and start to drift from the key point of characterizing the person in their chosen profession. After all, is that not the true message of the article?
