There are some old standards out there that some interviewers follow, while others take their own path, especially the entrepreneurs. There are different types of interviewers and with some forethought you can be prepared to interview successfully, no matter which type you encounter.

For example, a hotel front desk clerk learns quickly to read a person’s personality as they approach the desk. Take caution though: if you misread the personality of the interviewer, you might make some mistakes that could cause you to not move further in the hiring process. 1. You’ve seen the type – they talk more than they ask questions. 2. Opposite of the chatter is the interviewer who maintains domination over the conversation by firing off a list of questions in a monotone voice. . | 1 | 2 | Next Page.
