Applicants who posses all the education, skill and experience qualifications for a job are typically invited to a face-to-face interview. During the interview, the potential employer has the opportunity to ask the candidate a series of questions about his ability to do the job. To narrow down the field to one qualified individual, interviewers must evaluate various aspects of the interaction including the appearance and behavior of the interviewee.
Instructions
- 1Watch for interviewees who show a lack of preparation. Signs that a candidate did not adequately prepare for the interview include inappropriate attire, tardiness and rambling answers to common interview questions.
- 2Evaluate each candidate's level of interest in the job. Disqualify interviewees who do not ask any questions about the company or specifics about the position. Other signs of disinterest include lack of enthusiasm, no eye contact, a monotone voice and not sending a thank-you note after the interview.
- 3Eliminate any interviewees who make disparaging comments about their former bosses. This shows a lack of respect for authority and a poor attitude.
- 4Narrow down the interviewees by disqualifying those who give insufficient answers to questions. Answers should be clear and concise with examples, not simple "yes" or "no" statements.
- 5Evaluate each interviewee's appearance and body language. Fidgeting, slouching, nail-biting and a weak handshake are signs the interviewee lacks confidence.
