ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW
ADVANTAGES• People tend to share a lot
more information when someone is asking the questions in person. It’s much easier to ask a follow-up question and get examples to support what people are saying.
• It gives people an opportunity to participate in a more direct way, and they have a greater buy-in to the results of the assessment process
DISADVANTAGES• They’re time intensive, and
trying to schedule the interview can be a full-time job in itself.
• Sometimes people use them as an opportunity to vent about everything that’s wrong with an organization, putting you on the defensive and leaving you to sift through their remarks for constructive criticisms.

and Managing Volunteer
Remember the 4 basic questions of every interview: Do you understand the job? Can you do the job? Will you do the job? Do you pose a risk to their own continued employment? You pose a real risk to their job if you don’t do well.
