HR Interviewing Tips

Greetings, all!

I polled some Hanover alumni human resource directors about what they look for in excellent interviews. Below is a compilation of what they agreed were the most important qualities in a really great interview. The candidate:

Has dress and grooming appropriate for the position;
Speaks fluidly and assertively;
Provides appropriate level of detail;
Selects specific skills, traits and experience that emphasize key qualifications for the specific position and organization;
Is able to explain the resume clearly;
Relates answers to their relevance to the specific organization and position;
Provides varied and relevant illustrations of strengths drawn from past activities; and
Concludes the interview by expressing interest in the position.

I hope this helps you in your interview preparation.

Best wishes!
