Interviewing savvy

Article Abstract:

Good interviewing skills are invaluable for managers evaluating job candidates. The manager should spend time in the interview exploring the applicant's motivations, interpersonal skills, and intelligence, moving beyond what is on the resume. The manager should also ascertain how the applicant performed specific tasks at former jobs. Strategies for asking appropriate questions include: avoiding asking questions that start with verbs, and asking 'self-appraisal' questions.
