Hello Satya,

It's a very useful presentation. Thank you for sharing such a valuable post. I too have noticed fresh recruiters at times display arrogance towards qualified professionals and do not make efforts at concealing their judgment. This should be a guide to all...

Hi Satya,

That was a really nice PPT. Hats off to you for sharing a presentation with all of us. I have a small clarification; correct me if I am wrong.

You mentioned that the interviewer has to introduce about the company, explaining what they are actually into. Normally, we ask the candidate, "What do you know about our company?" to determine if he has gone through our website to identify his interest in our company.

Could you kindly let me know how to proceed with this?

Best Regards,

Dear Kathir,

With regard to your clarification, here we are doing two things:

1. While you are informing the candidate about your company details and other important aspects, you are marketing your company and building confidence in them.

2. The other point is to make the candidate feel tension-free, giving them time to relax and perform well in the interview.

If our company is small, faces strong competition in the market, and is not well-known or new, then we need to provide the candidate with all the details to market our company. We should highlight how we excel in products, services, etc. Our website may not offer all the necessary information or may be too complex, intended to cater to various visitors.

Dear Nayana,

As you mentioned, there is a difference in interviewing a senior professional and individuals at other levels. The expectations from a senior are distinct, as they are well-skilled to effectively respond to any position. Here, we need a variety of skills to analyze and delve deep into their knowledge set.

It is common to observe individuals conducting interviews and following the same process for all levels of positions. This approach is indeed an unhealthy way of making selections. In the presentation, I have clearly outlined how to handle senior positions. I look forward to hearing your comments on this.

Hello Satya,

Your presentation is meticulous and enlists carefully the do's and don'ts while interviewing candidates for senior positions. It's very thoughtful of you to share it with fellow citehr members. Thank you.

Your presentation would work as a guidebook for all recruiters. It is necessary, especially when qualified professionals are introverts and may not necessarily be excellent in communication skills. Your PowerPoint presentation would help recruiters not "judge the book by its cover"...

Dear All,

Thank you for the response. The interviewing area is one where a lot of study needs to be done. We can find plenty of materials and other resources about the process of attending interviews, but there is still not enough emphasis placed on interviewing as a separate skill. Therefore, I prefer this forum to actively discuss and share more knowledge in this area, helping us enrich our understanding.

Looking forward,

Hi Gani,

It's very informative. Many of us know how to conduct an interview, but we don't know what the parameters are for being the best interviewer. Are there any formats or benchmarks for this? Please share with us if any. From my side, I am giving Five Stars for this presentation.

Regards,
Gani.

Dear Satyavegi,

Very good collection of materials on interviews. As you stated elsewhere, there are different types of interviews aimed at assessing different situational behaviors, depending on the hierarchical positions of the proposed interviewee in the organization. So when your interview is not structured, the interviewer is likely to link questions from the answers given by the candidate and continue digging for knowledge. I do not agree with someone just attempting to answer a question in a haphazard manner and leaving without further exploring their knowledge. Of course, the interviewer can engage in this type of activity during interviews only if they possess adequate subject knowledge.

For Malayala Manorama (Malayalam newspaper), I have recently written a series of articles for the benefit of prospective interviewees, which will be published soon. People from Kerala can read it. I shall also write in English and attempt to publish in some dailies or weeklies for the benefit of proposed interviewees.

Thanks,

Absolutely stunning! Whoever has prepared must be a very sensitive and experienced person. In my career of 20 years, I have always attended interview calls, and today it totals to 40+ (not that I have changed so many jobs, but I had a flair to attend interviews). Out of the 40+, only once was I called into the cabin at the exact time fixed for the same. Everywhere else, I had to wait, even at MNCs.

Secondly, even after achieving 20 years of professional experience, I have to face academic questions, and worst of all, at times, the interviewer is a junior to me and much less accomplished. I always had this in mind - how can this happen? You have given voice to my feeling as to how an experienced and accomplished person, even though looking for a job change, can be tested with academic knowledge.

At times, I thought that I was wrong. But with your presentation, my thoughts and feelings have been vindicated. Thanks for the post.

Hi Satya,

Thank you for sharing the knowledgeable email. It is useful in both ways:
1. To the interviewer
2. To the interviewee

I have no words to express my view; however, I can say it's awesome, outstanding.

Ramesh

Dear Seniors,

Hope you are all in the pink of health. I want to ask you a question about interviews. Generally, in interviews, interviewers ask questions like "Tell me about yourself" or "Describe yourself." When interviewers ask these types of questions, should the interviewee respond by asking, "What would you like to know about me?" Asking these types of questions back to the interviewers can demonstrate confidence, or could it create a negative impression for the interviewee.

Please provide me with your guidance, as I have many interviews coming up.

Thanks & Regards,
Priyanka
