Interview Questions - Field Technician

Candidate: _______________                      

Date: ___________________

Instructions:

Once you have saved the interview package to your desktop, you can modify the rating system and question design to reflect your needs and job requirements.

The interview package is designed to allow the interviewer to rank the candidate´s individual answers and give the candidate an overall rating. Interviewers should focus on the required job skills and responsibilities of the position, rather than ranking the candidate based on personal reactions. The scoring system is based on the following:

1 - Poor      2 - Unsatisfactory      3 - Satisfactory      4 - Good       5 - Excellent 

Helpful hints to determine Excellent or Poor answers:

• The candidate should be able to relate their answer back to specific work-related examples.
• The answers should reflect the characteristics and skills you require for the position.
• The candidate should display confidence when responding to questions.
• The interviewer should look for quality answers, not quantity. Long answers do not necessarily equal quality responses.
• Bad comments about previous employers and their business practices are not acceptable answers.
