I have conducted a large number of interviews from the other side of the desk. The questions I ask myself are. - Is this guy a habitual liar? Can he give a straight answer or he is a horrible communicator? If I am in a jam, can I rely on him to help me or he will wind up wasting my time? - Does he know what he is talking about or he just memorized a bunch of interview questions? If I ask an open ended question, does he tell me exactly what was going on in his mind and all the minutiae & surprises that happened to him? - Do I trust him? Will he make work life easier? Will he pro-actively talk to the right people and figure out what the real ask is? Will he pro-actively try to figure out a solution and handle it himself? Or will he dump everything in my lap and consume more of my time when I am already at my wits end?
