How To Hold an Employment Interview

          The Employment Interview needs to be professional at all times. Men need to wear coat and ties; Women need to wear suits. You need to instill into the interviewee that this is a professional organization and not some Johnny-come-lately mom-and-pop business. This will set the tone for your business. This is the first impression your candidate will have of you. 2          Peruse the candidate's resume during the interview and ask relevant questions about college degree, appropriate work experience, and any gaps in employment. I like to notice a candidate's body language during the interview. Does the candidate come across as nervous? confident? lying? Having a strong intuition is a wonderful attribute during first interviews. 3           You ask the questions and let the candidate talk. Notice the fluency of the candidate's speech and his or her ability to speak off the cuff. If hired, these attributes or lack thereof will be pivotal in deciding where to allocate the candidate within the organization.          End the interview with "We have some more interviews this week--We'll let you know by the end of the week if interested". Never give an offer of employment after the first interview. Wait until you have interviewed everyone before 2nd interviews and offering any employment. Stick to your word.
