Based on the experience I\u2019ve had in interviews, I think what makes them effective is when the interviewer is familiar with the interview guide, knows enough about the role to answer questions, and has a friendly attitude. Other than those I\u2019ve been in contact with leading up to the interview, the interviewer is likely the first person I\u2019ve been given a chance to meet face to face. If they say or do something that shows they aren\u2019t interested in interviewing or clearly don\u2019t want to be there, I think it can send a negative message. It\u2019s always expected to ask questions about the role and the organization after the interview and if the interviewer can\u2019t answer them, I think it can be concerning because you\u2019re not sure what you\u2019re walking into if you accept the role. When they can answer my questions, it makes me more confident that we are on the same page about what exactly the role is and that we have a common understanding of what the expectations are. Something I\u2019ve also experienced in during interviews is if there is a common question about the role that I don\u2019t ask about, they\u2019ll bring it up to give additional information. It is nice when this happens only because they want to give that extra information because they see it as worth mentioning, even if I didn\u2019t bring it up initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve had an interview where I thought it was ineffective, but I think not knowing enough about the role, not being engaged in the interview itself, and being rude can hurt the effectiveness of the interview. People always say that first impressions play a major role in determining if you get the job, and even if that first impression is negative, the interviewer should still remain polite and interested in the conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
