Good stuff over at the Ford Group for those of you that are in a capacity to hire people at work. So often new manager fall into the trap of asking mundane interview questions or even worse, getting so creative that the questions don't illicit a worthwhile response.
I know Jay detailed a process of weeding out professional interviewers (aka job hoppers) but I like these as supplements.
For those of you trying to modify interviewing questions or techniques, check out this list of 50 Behavior Based Interview Questions. Here are a couple samples:
If You're Looking For Behaviors that Revolve Around Work Quality:
- Tell me about a time when you wrote a report that was well received. What do you attribute that to?
- Tell me about a time when you wrote a report that was not well received. What do you attribute that to?
- Tell me about a specific project or program that you were involved with that resulted in improvement in a major work area.
- Tell me about a time when you set your sights too high (or too low).
