Researching Interviews


Today we had a second interview for a new position at work and I was asked to sit in on the interview again. As a teenage girl, judging people based on first impressions is an everyday task in school therefore judging in an interview setting should be a synch. But the last interview I sat in on I realized I don’t really know what type of questions to ask or how to judge someone based on other things than what they physically look like. Half of my page was filled with things like, “nice hair”, “phone is vibrating”, “seems nice”, things that don’t really matter in a job interview. So I started researching the perfect interview and I found out the best questions to ask to see how genuine or quick thinking my possible future co-worker is. I found a few questions that he or she could answer to see how similar we are and if we would get along and another few to review their work ethics. Unfortunately this candidate did not get hired either because to be considered for the job you must first show up to the interview.
