Interview Types - Part
4: The Directive Style
(by
ResumeEdge.com) |
|
In this style of interview, the interviewer has a
clear agenda that he or she follows unflinchingly.
Sometimes companies use this rigid format to ensure
parity between interviews; when interviewers ask
each candidate the same series of questions, they
can more readily compare the results. Directive
interviewers rely upon their own questions and
methods to tease from you what they wish to know.
You might feel like you are being steam-rolled, or
you might find the conversation develops naturally.
Their style does not necessarily mean that they have
dominance issues, although you should keep an eye
open for these if the interviewer would be your
supervisor.
Either way, remember:
- Flex with the interviewer, following his or her
lead.
- Do not relinquish complete control of the
interview. If the interviewer does not ask you for
information that you think is important to proving
your superiority as a candidate, politely interject
it.
