Interviewing dos
What should you do to prepare for your interviews? Here are some ideas:
Asking certain questions during an interview can land you in major hot water. Some interviewing don'ts are merely good business practice. (Accepting an applicant's invitation for a date is probably not a good idea.) But other blunders can land you and your firm in court. Although you can ask applicants whether they are able to fulfill job functions, you cannot ask whether they are disabled. Also avoid the subjects of race, national origin, sex or sexual preference, marital status, religion or lack thereof, arrest and conviction records, height and weight, and debt history.
Ask only questions that are directly related to the candidates' ability to perform the tasks required of them — to do otherwise puts you at legal risk.
DON'T ASK

What should you do to prepare for your interviews? Here are some ideas:
- Review the resumes of each interviewee the morning before interviews start. Not only is it extremely poor form to wait to read your interviewees' resumes during the interview, but you miss out on the opportunity to tailor your questions to those little surprises uncovered in the resumes.
- Become intimately familiar with the job description. Telling interviewees that the position requires duties that it really doesn't is poor form. It's definitely poor form to surprise new hires with duties that you didn't tell them about in the interview.
- Draft your questions before the interview. Make a checklist of the key experience, skills, and qualities that you seek and use it to guide your questions. Of course, one of your questions may trigger other questions that you didn't anticipate. Go ahead with such questions as long as they provide you with additional insights regarding your candidate.
- Select a comfortable environment for both of you. Your interviewee will likely be uncomfortable regardless of what you do. You don'tneed to be uncomfortable, too. Make sure that the interview environment is well-ventilated, private, and protected from interruptions.
- Avoid power trips. Forget the old games of shining bright lights in your interviewees' eyes, turning up the heat, or cutting the legs off their chairs (yes, some managers still do this!) to gain an artificial advantage over your candidates. Get real — it's the twenty-first century!
- Take notes. Don't rely on your memory when interviewing job candidates. If you interview more than a couple of people, you can easily forget who said what.

- Why are you leaving your present (or last) job?
- What kinds of co-workers do you like best? Why?
- How does this job fit in with your overall career plan?
- Can you describe for me one or two of the most important accomplishments (or biggest disappointments) in your career?
- What might make you leave this job?
- How do your strong points relate to this job?
- How many days did you miss during the last year? What were the reasons?
