             Interview Preparation - Resume Questions
 
We've eliminated "a bit about yourself" as an opening gambit.  In
fact, aside from its futility, it wouldn't have set the tone you
want for the interview anyway.  You want this person to feel
comfortable, and you want them to open up, so that the interview is
honest and you can make a judgment quickly and accurately.  What
kind of question can you start with that will establish this "mood"?
 
Some people start with small talk.  It's not a bad idea, and it can
bring up some interesting information.  However, it occasionally
backfires: after all, the candidate knows what the purpose is, and
any patently false interest in their welfare can only increase their
nervousness.  They probably know that it is not what is unsaid that
can damn them, but what is said.
 
A better approach is to prepare a question arising out of the
resume.  This has two major advantages.  The first is that the
question, and answer, can be directly applicable to the task at
hand, that of getting more information and assessing the candidate. 
The second is that it has a greater chance of succeeding in your
opening objective of making the candidate feel more comfortable.
 
"Wait a minute", I hear you cry.  "How does jumping right in with
the Spanish Inquisition make them feel more comfortable?"  Well, it
doesn't have to be a hostile question, does it?  Find something that
they appear to have succeeded at, and ask about that.  Find
something that genuinely interested you on the resume.  Ask about a
particularly rare skill, a hobby, an eminent employer (don't ask why
they left, maybe), something unusual they included that you don't
often see.  There must have been something about the resume that
interested you, so ask about that.
 
Besides, asking about something on the resume almost automatically
puts the candidate at ease.  It demonstrates that you have, in fact,
done *your* homework, and that you have prepared.  It shows that you
are, in fact, interested in them.  It indicates that someone has
read the resume, which they prepared at some cost in sweat and
nerves, and has considered it worthy of some reflection.
 
Also, as mentioned, it gets you into the interview, something that
small talk doesn't necessarily do.  When you end the chit chat, you
still have to start the interview, and the defenses may go back up
again.  Asking about something on the resume will generally lead
automatically into the other questions you want to cover, and still
retains the atmosphere you started with.
