This will put the interviewer in a very awkward position. Imagine the interviewer thinks you have a problem in area X, and they spell it out right there, "I think your expertise in X might be lacking," and then for all they know, they're walking into a discussion on whether X should be considered necessary for the job, with the very person they need to assess - a potential minefield.
Sure, you may be a reasonable person and have a reasonable answer for their concern, but they don't know it.
- remus 7y agoSurely it is the person/company doing the hiring who has the say in what is and isn't required for the position? Assuming the interviewer isn't doing something that's blatantly illegal ("Do you plan on having children in the next x years?", "I think you're too old for this position" etc.) I don,t think an interviewee is really in a position to argue this as surely they'd almost always have very limited knowledge of what the position actually entails compared to the person doing the hiring.
- yongjik 7y agoExactly, no interviewer would want to have such a discussion with the interviewee. So their best course of action would be to smile and say "I don't have any concerns, thanks for asking."
