Weekend 2 Day 1

Interview Questions - Jacob Crase

This morning I learned a lot about the interview process and was amazed at how differently people viewed the interview process. Personally I wanted to have a conversation with the candidate and let them do most of the talking while asking lots of follow-up questions to learn about there teaching style, personality, interests, etc… Other people in my group view the process much differently and believed each person needed to be asked the exact same questions. I was surprised to learn that is how WIU operates due to the threat of legal issues. I can understand some of the logic behind a strict set of questions, but personally I would not be able to operate in that context because I want to know people as individuals, and don’t believe the same set of questions would apply to every single candidate.
