QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES
Structured
These are comprised of predefined questions that tend to be asked of every candidate .
Unstructured
In this approach , the interviewer asks open-ended questions requiring more elaborate responses . These questions may be a follow up to an answer from a structured question . Insight into the interviewee ’ s personality and style may be gained from these types of questions . They can also allow the interviewee to shine or crash .
Stress
This type of questioning is used to test skills under pressure and is not common . Criminal Justice- and Health-related industries may use this type .
Behavioral
The questions ask about specific , job-related experiences . They assume that past relevant behavior is the best predictor of future behavior , positive and negative .
