Interviewing the Interviewer
Interviewing the Interviewer
A good interview is more off a conversation compared to a set of interview questions and answers and I would add once your are in a flow of a conversation, you will feel comfortable asking the interviewer your own questions, which means you don’t have to wait until you’re asked “do you have any questions for me?”
This article is about gaining rapport and trust early in the interview, which will give you the confidence to ask your own questions throughout the interview, highlighting your confidence and professionalism to the interviewer. I would also add once you start asking questions, you will be interviewing the interviewer, which will give a more informed discussion when deciding whether or not to accept the job offer.
Research
First research the company and the job position, as often the position title can vary in duties depending on the organisation you work for. You need to make a list of what is important to the company, what skills, qualities and experiences the organisation requires. Even more importantly what are the company’s’ values, beliefs and company mission? – this information is easy to locate through the company websites and especially for large organisations on online forums.
Questions
As you are asked questions, you can answer your interview question relating to your researched list of requirements – in essence you will be speaking the company language.
You will start to see a lot of nodding as the employer agrees with your view point (as it will be the same view point the company takes) this will quickly lead to good rapport
Once in rapport, you can start to ask the interviewer questions, first on their requirements as this is something the company will feel passionate about and will answer freely
While asking the company requirement questions, slip in a question you would like to know the answer to, the interviewer will freely answer these questions.
Having a Conversation
By answering and asking relevant questions, the interview will naturally turn into a conversation, often with the interviewer taking a second to look back at the next question (which they forgot to ask due to the conversation) and then saying out loud something similar to “OK, erm actually you have already answered this one..” this unconsciously will re-enforce to the interviewer that you are the right person for the job.
Job Offer
Obviously with a large amount of rapport and the employer believing your values and work ethic are that of the organisation, you are likely to be offered a position. Unlike previous interviews where you answer a set of questions, selling yourself – this interview has been a conversation, where the interviewer has openly answered your questions, this has now given you a more detailed picture of the company (you will already have an overview from the research you undertook) You now can make a more informed choice if you want to work for this particular organisation, as you will agree there is nothing worse then starting a new job and hating it within the first few weeks, I would also add using this technique will secure you more job offers giving you the option of organisations to work for.
Learn the Killer Answers to Tricky Interview Questions

Structuring Your Interview Answers
Once you receive your Interview Invitation, you still have work to do, the first being to practice answering tricky interview questions. T
o do this you need to know what type of interview questions you will be asked, you can read 101 Interview Questions and I would add what is even more important then knowing the interview questions is knowing how to structure your interview answer.
To gain an insight into the specific question you will be asked, re-read the job specification that came with your job application pack.
All the Essential Skills, Knowledge and Experiences on the job specification will be turn into interview questions this is because the employer feels that their new employee needs the required knowledge or experiences to fit in at the level the company is operating at.
The key to passing job interviews is Communication, the employer needs to understand what you are trying to communicate to them; communication is not about what you are saying, it’s about what the other person interprets what you are saying which means you need to structure you interview answer in such a way that employer has no doubt you can do the specific part of the job that the interview question related to.
Answering Interview Questions
You may be asked direct interview questions; what, where, why, who or competency-based questions; give me an example, describe a time when you, summaries your previous role and duties
It’s not about the type of question you are asked it’s about how you structure your answer which means you need to know how to answer interview questions.
I would add you need your answer to come across loud and clear by delivering 3 key pieces of information per answer, any more then this can confuse the interviewers mind, as the brain can find it hard to remember a large amount of information in one go.
Start by answering the question in the first sentence
Q: Are you a good team player?
A: Yes I am a good team player, in my last position I worked in team environment throughout the project…
Q: What is your knowledge of diversity and equal opportunities regulations?
A: I possess a deep understanding of diversity and equal opportunity regulations; I find it really important to keep unto date with changes to regulations…
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
A: I am really keen to turn this position into a career, in 5 years time I will have a full understanding of the job sector and will be applying for a promotion within this organisation.
Q: Describe a situation where you dealt with an angry customer.
A: In my last position I would work on the complaints department every Monday and would often come across “angry” customers; I was always able to quickly calm customers down and resolve their issues by…
Next, add a little more detail – this should intrigue the employer and hit several of the job specifications essential criteria
- Give an overview of the situation – In many cases this is done when you answer the question in your first sentence.
- Explain any “problems” or “barriers” you had to face and overcome “the company had never had a contract like this before” “sales had started to drop, so the manger asked me to join the team..”
- Explain what YOU did “I was responsible for..” “I took initiative..” “it was my idea to…”
- Explain the positive outcome from your actions; where possible quote figures and percentages or give third-person feedback “this led to an increase in sales by 35%” “the team manager fed back that this resulted in an increase in company shares”
Finally, summaries by referring back to the question (this can also come across as you thinking of your answer on the spot, not using a prepared answer)
- “Does that example highlight the team player skills you are looking for?”
- “I have a wide range of knowledge of diversity and equal opportunity regulations, would you like me to quote any more?”
- “Overall I am happy to stay in this company and work my way up the career ladder”
- “To summaries, I have come across a wide range of angry customers, but once you know how to calm and resolve their issues you increase your customer retention”
As you can see from the 4 examples above, some of the summaries end with a question; this is a great additional trick to check if you have hit the interviewer’s required points to their question.
If you have you often hear “Yes that was a nice answer” or “I think we have covered everything” if you haven’t you will often be told “I was looking for an example when you X” you can then give a new example covering X or the interviewer may ask you a second but more specific question.
