It is safe to assume that many of today’s candidates will arrive with professionally written resumes and stock answers to typical interview questions. Standard questions such as “Do you enjoy working in teams or alone?” may be challenging for entry-level employees, but will reveal little when asked of seasoned managers. Rephrase tired questions to overcome the memorization factor. You can also have them respond in the context of a real-life business situation with examples of how they performed.
Today’s job seeker is savvier than ever before. Countless career-related websites offer free information on resume construction, interview etiquette and employment statistics. Affordable professional coaches stand ready to guide the career minded through the rough waters of salary and benefits negotiation. And an explosion of self-help career books is transforming even green college grads into well-groomed candidates. Add a tight job market to the mix and hiring managers are faced with a tough challenge – getting the right person for the right money.
So how do interviewers see past the polish to uncover a candidate’s real character and ability? Author Tim Toterhi has gathered the following advice from professional hiring managers.
