Interviewing 101: Sizing up the Interviewer
.jpg)
As we all know (or should by now) the face-to-face interview is the most important part of any job search. I and others have lectured and written exhaustively on appropriate interviewing behaviors and the requisite skills that must be developed to become a successful interviewee. However, it is important to point out that you are not the only person in the room during an interview—let’s not forget about the interviewer! To that end, little has been written about the types of interviewers that a job candidate may encounter during the face-to-face. As somebody once advised me, knowing your “enemy” can go a long way to insure success.
With this in mind, I came across an informative article that describes 6 different types of interviewers that job candidates can expect to encounter during a face-to-face job interview. More importantly, the author provides insightful tips on how to manage each of them. As an aside, I have encountered each of the six types during my long and illustrious quest for my dream job.
If you have an upcoming job interview, I highly recommend that you read the article. It may make the difference between a job offer or not.
Until next time…
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!
