On the Importance of Being a Good Host (Interviewer): Some Tips for Leaving a Good Impression on Job Candidates
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have realized that I, Michael, enjoy covering the employment interview (see this posting and this posting, for example). Most of my postings address what interview questions to not ask, and what interview questions would be effective ones.
In today’s busy, busy world, it is easy to forget, however, that developing a good rapport with candidates is also important. I would like to offer you an excellent article I found on the Internet that covers some essential tips for interviewers. Some examples of the suggestions offered by ERexchange author Howard Adamsky include:
1. Upon the candidate’s arrival, greet the candidate in a positive and upbeat manner and ask if they would like anything (coffee, tea, restroom, etc.)
2. Thank the candidate for their time.
3. Each interviewer should end their interviewing session by asking the candidate if they have any questions.
