Tips in interviewing people - have a standard list of questions

I am sometimes surprised at how unstructured some interviewers are. They browse your resume to pick out some interesting bits to ask about. An experienced interviewer may be able to go deeper by asking follow-up questions, but some interviewers just flutter from one area to the next without much of a plan. Preparing a standard set of questions to ask every candidate is important because it becomes your checklist. It helps you plan what are the qualities you want to probe for and what are the difficult questions you want to ask. You want to be able to compare your candidates based on the same set of challenges you issue them. Your questions are designed to help you get to know your candidates as best you can within the limited time of an interview. Don't waste your time going into an interview unprepared. You'd hate to meet candidates who are unprepared. Don't be an interviewer who is unprepared.
