On a scale of one to ten,
rate me as an interviewer.
TRAPS: Give
a perfect “10,” and you’ll seem too easy to please. Give anything less than a perfect 10, and he
could press you as to where you’re being critical, and that road leads downhill for you.
BEST ANSWER: Once
again, never be negative. The interviewer will only resent criticism
coming from you. This is the time to
show your positivism.
However,
don’t give a numerical rating. Simply praise whatever interview style he’s been
using.If he’s been tough, say “You have been thorough and tough-minded, the very qualities needed to conduct a good interview.”
If he’s been methodical, say, “You have been very methodical and analytical, and I’m sure that approach results in excellent hires for your firm.”
In other words, pay him a sincere compliment that he can believe because it’s anchored in the behavior you’ve just seen.
