As a manager, you will likely need to know how to conduct a job interview to select people to work for you. You need to develop a set of consistent questions to ask all candidates. Completing the interview preparation steps and following the steps of the interview will help you improve your interviewing skills.

Don’t rush or stereotype. Get to know each individual, and recall the benefits of hiring people who are different from you. Don’t consider just one or two positive or negative things—review the candidate’s entire set of qualifications. After all interviews are completed, compare each candidate’s qualifications to the job specifications to determine who would be the best fit for the job. Get coworkers’ impressions of each candidate. They can judge if they fit the culture.
