The Inquisitor This type of interviewer is tough; they will never crack a smile and will generally bombard you with tough questions Remain cool and positive and show confidence throughout the interview, also remember that his attitude isn’t aimed at you in particular and it also doesn’t mean that you won’t get the job.
