30 seconds of theory before you start
A pleasant chat isn't a good interview. A charming candidate can talk the whole time and never answer the main question.
Strong questions
- «Interesting! Let's get back to the question: what happened on that project?»
- «And what did you do when that happened?»
- «How did it end?»
The usual miss
Getting carried away by the chat and finishing without a single concrete case.
You're done when
You brought the conversation back and got a concrete case with actions and an outcome.
