Question 30 - Rate me as an interviewer


.

How to answer this question?


It would be one thing if you were asked to give an anonymous answer, but when
you have to grade the interviewer to their face, it is certainly an awkward
situation.
Of course, you know the golden rule is to never, ever be negative.
Even if you think that the interviewer did a really bad job and that they could use
some constructive criticism, don't fall into the trap of being the one to give it to
them.
They will resent any type of criticism coming from you, even if you think that they
honestly want your feedback.
- Focus on aspects of the interview that have been productive.
- Compliment the aspects, not the interviewer or the interview.
If you do that, your answer will be very good.
.

The best way to answer is to pick out qualities of the interview and compliment
them, keeping the focus away from ''you are perfect'' and instead on ''you do this,
this, and this really well.''
However, don't give a numerical rating. Simply praise whatever interview style he's
been using.

Example of Good Answer


''I am not the right person to rate because you are more experienced then me. It's
clear that every question you ask has a purpose, which tells me that it is important
to you that the interview is productive.
You have also asked some very in depth questions which tells me that your
interviews often lead to the hiring of capable candidates with excellent job
experience.''
In other words, pay him a sincere compliment that he can believe because it's
anchored in the behavior you've just seen.
