Interviewers throughout the world vary in their interviewing techniques. Experience is the key at being a better interviewer. Your interview should evaluate the responses to employment experience, career goals, body language, formal education, attitude, appearance, and enthusiasm.
Below are 10 general questions that you may want to consider using:
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. What do you know about our company?
3. Why do you want to work for us?
4. What would you do for us? What can you do for us that someone else can't?
5. What about our position do you find the most attractive? Least attractive?
6. Why should we hire you?
7. What do you look for in a job?
8. Please give me your definition of a ... (the position for which you are interviewing).
9. How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our company?
10. How long would you stay with us?
Helpful tips:
• Ask your question then listen. Allow the candidate to answer your question and at the same time exude their personality as well as their competency.
• Remain neutral to a candidate’s response – An unbiased interviewer creates a win-win situation. Finding the ‘right fit’ is based on objective decisions and not preconceived ideas.
