There are questions that make sense during the job interview

October 8, 2018

Most of the questions asked during a job interview are nonsense.

Still, nobody will give up the interviews entirely. So you have to think about questions that make sense.

There are some. And there is one, the most important one, as Lou Adler has advised. You might not ask anything else, if you ask this and go quite deep into. You don’t want to test the stress-tolerance of your candidate, nor see how quickly he/she react to difficult questions. Your main goal is to find out if he/she is a great candidate for your vacancy.

For this, just ask this question: What will be your biggest challenge on this job? What have you done which is most similar to this? Please describe both in detail.

And that’s it. In 12-14 minutes you will have the most essential information to make your decision about this candidate.
