How to Conduct an Effective Job Interview The virtual stack of resumes in your inbox is winnowed and certain candidates have passed the phone screen. Next step: in-person interviews. How should you use the relatively brief time to get to know — and assess — a near stranger? How many people at your firm should be involved? How can you tell if a candidate will be a good fit? And finally, should you really ask questions like: “What’s your greatest weakness?”
What the Experts Say As the employment market improves and candidates have more options, hiring the right person for the job has become increasingly difficult. “Pipelines are depleted and more companies are competing for top talent,” says Claudio Fernández-Aráoz, a senior adviser at global executive search firm Egon Zehnder and author of It’s Not the How or the What but the Who: Succeed by Surrounding Yourself with the Best. Applicants also have more information about each company’s selection process than ever before. Career websites like Glassdoor have “taken the mystique and mystery” out of interviews, says John Sullivan, an HR expert, professor of management at San Francisco State University, and author of 1000 Ways to Recruit Top Talent. If your organization’s interview process turns candidates off, “they will roll their eyes and find other opportunities,” he warns. Your job is to assess candidates but also to convince the best ones to stay. Here’s how to make the interview process work for you — and for them.

WorkCollege football Power Rankings: Did Florida State fall after close call? When your opponent has an enigmatic but cannon-legged kicker, don\'t let the game come down to a last-second field goal. Kansas State learned this lesson the hard way. Will Howard threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns, but the Wildcats allowed Missouri\'s Brady Cook to top him -- 356 yards, two scores -- and fell 30-27 in Columbia when Harrison Mevis drilled a 61-yard field goal as time ran out. K-State seemingly took control of the game in the third quarter, turning a 17-14 halftime deficit into a 24-17 lead, but Luther Burden III\'s second touchdown reception gave Mizzou a lead, and after KSU tied the game with five minutes left, the table was set for Mevis\' heroics. The Wildcats lost a coin-toss game to Tulane in non-conference play last year, then moved on to win the Big 12, so they\'ll probably respond well. But this one must sting a bit. -- Connelly
