Document Summary

Briefly discuss any five common interviewing mistakes and explain how such errors can be avoided. Selection interviews are not carefully planned and may be conducted w/o having prepared written questions in advance; leads to unstructured interviews. To avoid: plan for interview by preparing questions beforehand & agree on procedures that will be followed when it"s a team interview. When interviewers jump to conclusions during first few minutes of interview; not accurate and unreliable. To avoid: take time to ask right questions during interview & do not interview people whose resume don"t fit. When either interviewer or applicant dominates the interview; leads to not enough time to ask or answer all questions. To avoid: use 70/30 rule applicant speaks 70% of time & interviewer 30% of time. Judgement error of interviewer when either one or more very good or bad candidate has been interviewed just before the current candidate.
