Inside the mind of an interviewer (page 4/4)THE LAST CHECK?Let's see how the interviewer's thought processes are operating now. He's happy you can do the job and that you are personally suitable. He's also confident that you'll get on with most of the staff and that you have all the necessary professional commercial qualities that he requires from his employees. You almost have the job. The interviewer is now beginning to visualize you as a future colleague. Someone who he will be working with and someone he will possibly be responsible for managing.ManageabilityAll during the interview this question will be at the back of the interviewer's mind. How manageable will you be? The last thing a manager wants is an employee who he thinks might cause trouble in the future and cause him sleepless nights! And so a lot of his questions will be aimed at helping him come to a considered judgment on your ability not only to work alone unsupervised but also on your ability to work with others. He will also want to judge your ability to take direction and criticism not only when it is honestly given but also when you may be treated unfairly. The interviewer/manager knows that a lot of the time, in the real business world things go wrong, people make mistakes, deadlines and commitments are broken and tempers are ignited. The interviewer wants to consider how you might react to such circumstances? So be aware of these questions when they arise and the real motivation behind them. Also when you sense such questions are being asked treat it as a positive sign that the interviewer is seriously considering you for the position. LAST THOUGHTS!What we have presented here is only a very general outline of the interviewer's possible thought processes as the interview progresses. Each interview is unique and it's structure and tempo will change and adopt to accommodate the different personalities involved. However it is very helpful to be aware of the key stages of your interview and to have a deepening understanding of what your interviewer is really looking for when he asks you certain questions.
