Both interviews and discussions are conversations. I know lots of interviews are too formal in some ways. I think it might be useful to start formal, get informal but still stick to rules like not asking discriminatory questions, and then get formal again for the end of the interview. Sort of like a feedback sandwich.
- Jensson 5y ago> I know lots of interviews are too formal in some ways How do you know that? Maybe those interviews are the right amount of formal. Do you have evidence that they are too formal?
- benatkin 5y agoBecause I've been on both ends of the interviews and I've seen places where a handful of unplanned questions and comments have gotten useful information and other interviews where no on-the-fly questions were asked and I think it was a missed opportunity. If you were to apply no true Scotsman to what is considered informal you might not include this because it was useful but I'd rather not do that.
