11. The No-No’s About Interviewing Techniques Offer the applicant too many clues about the job? Example: If you inform a candidate that the job requires attention to detail, do you then ask if the candidate is good at details? Avoid coaching the person Ask obvious questions. Example: “Do you get along with people?” You’ll get the obvious answer. Place too much emphasis on an applicant’s assessment? Example: Avoid asking how a candidate assesses his or her management skills. Instead, ask how the person handled a difficult management decision. Shy away from probing for information Example: If a candidate mentions a personality conflict as the reason for leaving a job, do you push for details? Tend to be unduly influenced by first impressions - especially negative ones? Example: How do you react to candidate who dresses in a style you dislike even if the clothes are appropriate? Fail to look for missing clues? Example: If an applicant keeps stressing that he or she is a “big-picture person”, would you probe to find out if the person can handle details?
