Interviewing Entry-Level Candidates

The basic techniques of interviewing are the same no matter what the position. It’s likely, however, that you will spend less time with applicants who are new to the job market—perhaps just half an hour—and that you will spend more time finding out about their personal qualities and character rather than skills and experience. When interviewing college graduates, ask them to tell you about something they’ve done that they’re proud of—such as completing a biking race for charity—or about a recent accomplishment that exceeded their expectations. You will quickly determine whether the applicant is the kind of person who gives 110 percent or the type who merely gets by. In addition, ask about any tasks or projects they’ve completed that required skills comparable to those that they would need on the job.
