Factors Affecting Interviews
 First impressions
– The tendency for interviewers to jump to
conclusions—make snap judgments—about
candidates during the first few minutes of the
interview.
– Negative bias: unfavorable information about an
applicant influences interviewers more than does
positive information.

7–14
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Misunderstanding the job
– Not knowing precisely what the job entails and
what sort of candidate is best suited causes
interviewers to make decisions based on incorrect
stereotypes of what a good applicant is.

 Candidate-order error
– An error of judgment on the part of the
interviewer due to interviewing one or more very
good or very bad candidates just before the
interview in question.

7–15
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Nonverbal behavior and impression
management
– Interviewers’ inferences of the interviewee’s
personality from the way he or she acts in the
interview have a large impact on the interviewer’s
rating of the interviewee.
– Clever interviewees attempt to manage the
impression they present to persuade interviewers
to view them more favorably.

7–16
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Effect of personal characteristics:
attractiveness, gender, race
– Interviewers tend have a less favorable view of
candidates who are:
• Physically unattractive
• Female
• Of a different racial background
• Disabled

7–17
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Interviewer behaviors affecting interview
outcomes
– Inadvertently telegraphing expected answers.
– Talking so much that applicants have no time to
answer questions.
– Letting the applicant dominate the interview.
– Acting more positively toward a favored (or similar
to the interviewer) applicant.

7–18
Designing and Conducting the Interview
 The structured situational interview
– Use either situational questions (preferred) or
behavioral questions that yield high criteria-related
validities.
– Step 1: Job Analysis
– Step 2: Rate the Job’s Main Duties
– Step 3: Create Interview Questions
– Step 4: Create Benchmark Answers
– Step 5: Appoint the Interview Panel and Conduct
Interviews
7–19
How to Conduct an Effective Interview
 Structure your interview:
1. Base questions on actual job duties.
2. Use job knowledge, situational, or behaviorally oriented
questions and objective criteria to evaluate the
interviewee’s responses.
3. Train interviewers.
4. Use the same questions with all candidates.
5. Use descriptive rating scales (excellent, fair, poor) to rate
answers.
6. Use multiple interviewers or panel interviews.
7. If possible, use a standardized interview form.
8. Control the interview.
9. Take brief, unobtrusive notes during the interview.

7–20
Examples of Questions That Provide Structure
Situational Questions:
1. Suppose a co-worker was not following standard work procedures. The co-worker was
more experienced than you and claimed the new procedure was better. Would you use the
new procedure?
2. Suppose you were giving a sales presentation and a difficult technical question arose that
you could not answer. What would you do?
Past Behavior Questions:
3. Based on your past work experience, what is the most significant action you have ever taken
to help out a co-worker?
4. Can you provide an example of a specific instance where you developed a sales
presentation that was highly effective?
Background Questions:
5. What work experiences, training, or other qualifications do you have for working in a
teamwork environment?
6. What experience have you had with direct point-of-purchase sales?
Job Knowledge Questions:
7. What steps would you follow to conduct a brainstorming session with a group of employees
on safety?
8. What factors should you consider when developing a television advertising campaign?
Note: So that direct comparisons can be made, an example is presented to assess
both teamwork (1,3,5,7) and sales attributes (2,4,6,8) for each type of question.

Structure in the Selection Interview,” Personnel Psychology (1997), p. 668.
