INTERVIEWER GUIDE

Asking Good Questions

• Initiative
  • What are you most proud of?
  • What did you dislike about your job and what did you do to change it?
• Motivation
  • What are your career goals for the next five years?
  • Do you intend to continue your education?
• Attitude
  • What job values are important to you?
  • How do you cope with very routine work?
• Management
  • How have you dealt with a confrontation with a difficult employee?
  • How would you describe your management style?

Interviewing is very subjective. Judgement of the talents and ability of a person can depend on personal chemistry between interviewer and candidate; interviewers must be aware of this. You must ask all candidates the same questions.
