Q. I need some guidelines for interviewing prospective employees. Can you help?
A: The interview guidelines set forth impermissible and permissible inquiries during the job interview and before an offer of employment has been made. For specific questions regarding interview questioning, contact the Office of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action, the Office of Human Resources, or the Office of the General Counsel. For the interviewing process, best management practices include: 1) creating a list of written interview questions before interviewing begins; 2) writing the questions based on the job description, specifically the skills, abilities, and experience required for the position; 3) asking the same questions of all candidates; 4) making objective and factual notes of each interview; and 5) selecting the candidate who is most qualified or at least as qualified as other candidates in comparison to the selection criteria that you established.
