I completely agree that many interviewers have no goal in mind on what they want to discover about the candidate. They talk to the candidate to see what unfolds. On my most recent interview, I spent more time talking about non-work related topics than the actual position. I had to steer the interviewer back to the job with my questions.Halnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-73491380637825350442008-09-04T00:37:41.000-07:002008-09-04T00:37:41.000-07:00I find most interviewers just come in with a set o...I find most interviewers just come in with a set of generic questions. "What are your weaknesses?" "Why do you think you you can do this job?" "What are your strengths?" They ask all candidates the same questions then compare which answers are the best. These generic questions are not bad per se... but the ultimate decision to hire relies heavily on interpersonal connection.bluestreaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-46021563662689980392008-09-01T02:07:44.000-07:002008-09-01T02:07:44.000-07:00part of the problem is the hiring manager doesn...part of the problem is the hiring manager doesn't always give clear direction either. But even when I have given very clear instructions on what I want each interviewer to get out of the interview, I often end up with very little that I asked for. Otherwise smart people give me really bad feedback.terrencenoreply@blogger.com
