As part of Interview Intervention: Communication That Gets You Hired, I included what I consider the 14 most effective job interview questions an employer can ask a job candidate. While there are loads of great interviewing techniques and questions, I feel it’s important to balance time and effectiveness when determining whether a candidate and employer relationship will be strong long-term.
I’d like to emphasize that point by adding that individually there might be more effective questions, but when these 14 questions are asked collectively–throughout your interview process–they will yield a comprehensive view of the candidate’s overall fit in the least amount of time.
I provided more color as I released each of them through the blog, but thought it might be nice to cap it off with a comprehensive list. I hope you enjoyed them!
