Her suggestion of asking good questions is the KEY to finding great employees. The better the questions asked, the better the answers, and usually the higher caliber person you can find!

I've passed on her tips to my daughter who is a Recruiting Officer for an insurance company. This is one more advice I'm going to pass on. Needless to say, I’m a Darlene camp follower.

Empathy and just plain good manners goes a long way to making the interviewee feel comfortable and connecting with them as a person. If you want the best person for the job, there has to be some mutual respect for a start. Congratulations Darlene, for being featured at Jibber Jobber. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

It's a great reminder for the next time I'm nterviewing candidates. But I disagree with one thing - I think it is worthwhile reading Darlene's post if you are a jobseeker as well. Darlene's tips can help a jobseeker to structure an interview even if the interviewer isn't doing a good job of it. For example, if the interviewer hasn't clarified the core competencies of the job, it's appropriate for the jobseeker to go ahead and ask. Nice find. Thanks! Liz Hi

A bit of empathy and compassion goes a long way and sets an example for those around you. It's good to remember a few well-worn cliches: "It's a small world," and "What goes around, comes around." Roles may be reversed soon than one thinks. I'm a fan of Darlene and Interview Chatter. Good catch on her good post.

What a nice surprise! Thanks for the post, the link, the love.. I feel it all the way on the east coast. This was the idea I mentioned on your post. I have heard many things from jobseekers that seem to happen in the course of an interview. It seemed like an interesting way to handle these issues. So many people ask, why there is a double standard. If they were to take a call on their cell phone during an interview, it would kill their chances of even being considered for the position. But so many leaders, managers in organizations, do it right there in the interview. They apologize, and the interview goes on. Thanks for sharing it with your readers. I truly hope it helps!!
