Experts recommend not to improvise, but to draw up a plan in advance according to which the conversation will go. Any employer strives to achieve three goals in its course:
- evaluate the professional qualities of the candidate (knowledge, skills, experience);
- evaluate the personal qualities of the candidate (character, moral principles, interests);
- evaluate the potential of the candidate (life goals, desire to learn and grow professionally).
Evaluation of professional qualities:
- Tell us about yourself.
- How did your professional career develop?
- What was your previous job?
- What decisions did you have to make?
Evaluation of personal qualities:
- Name five of your strongest qualities and five of your weakest qualities.
- Name three good and three bad qualities that, in your opinion, characterize a typical team leader.
- What is the strongest incentive for you?
Potential evaluation:
- Why do you want to work in our company?
- How do you see your work in our company?
Remember that you’re not just looking for a specialist that will perform, for example, keratin hair straightening or botox hair treatment: you’re looking for a team member and a professional consultant for your clients!
