Re:Topic 5 DQ 1

Instructor and class,

 

I spoke with one of the pastors, they all share interviewing responsibilities.

 

1. I asked what was your best interview experience? He responded that it was when he was the interviewee and the interviewer made it a point to be laid back and open, allowing him to relax and more at ease to talk, it gave them a better chance to get to know each other and see if he would really be a good fit for the position.

 

2. I asked what was your shortest interview? He said that it was when he brought in a gentleman for an interview whom he had never met, when he walked in he had poor hygiene, wore torn dirty jeans, a t shirt and sneakers, he said he knew the minute he realized he was the interviewee that he was not going to hire him.

 

3. I asked, what was your worst interview? He said, there have been quite a few but one of the bad ones was probably the one he had that walked in, didn't make any eye contact during the entire interview, couldn't answer even basic questions, answered I don't know to the majority of the questions, it seemed like he had not prepared at all for the interview and what made it so frustrating was that he couldn't get to know that interviewee who seemed to be a great fit on paper.

 

4. I asked what was the best interviewee you had? He said that he had a few good ones but definitely the woman who came in with confidence, made eye contact, had answers to every question he had, seemed to be interested in learning about the workplace and what she would get into by working there, almost as if the interview was back and forth.

 

5. What was the most interesting or surprising interview? He said that there was one interviewee that seemed to be a great fit and as they were wrapping up, he was thinking he would be a good fit and as they shook hands and got ready to leave, he asked if they do drug tests, which in and of itself is not a bad question but after asking if the interviewee had any prescriptions that may conflict with a drug test, he answered no, no prescriptions.
