		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned earlier that one of the tools you should have available to you is the feedback written by interviewers who’ve preceded you. You’ll quickly see what kind of feedback turns out to be useful. If you can write that kind of feedback as well, it’ll be very helpful to those that follow you and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all had to defend our ideas at one time or another. It’s one of the realities of the world that people rarely accept new ideas or solutions without at least a little questioning. Usually the questions are simply a means to better understanding, but sometimes reasons are less altruistic. Regardless, how a candidate responds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a result of the prior tip you’re now keeping a close eye on your candidate’s assumptions as they solve the problems you’ve laid out for them. Make sure they have some assumptions to make. It’s ok to be a little vague in laying out your problem. Let’s face it, the real world rarely presents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Typically the largest amount of time in my problem-solving interview is spent presenting and asking the candidate to solve one or two problems. I typically include one general-purpose logic or “thought” problem, and then one domain-specific problem – in my case, asking the candidate to write some software to solve a specific scenario. In both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Partly to validate the true depth of knowledge, but also to get a feel for the candidate’s ability to take things beyond their original definition, a good technique is to take a project out of their résumé and ask them to change or expand on it. You’ve just asked the candidate to describe their favorite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, you’ve looked at a fair amount of information about your interviewee, including the résumé. It’s time to see if the accomplishments they list are accurate, and the skills implied there meet your needs. Remember, it’s that track record of accomplishments that you really care about. I usually start by asking the candidate to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Résumés and interviews are, to be totally honest, sales vehicles. They are the job applicants’ tools for selling themselves. The accuracy of what you’ll find on a résumé or in speaking to the candidate will vary widely. In addition to making sure that they fit your needs, your job is also to validate what you’re [...]]]></description>

If you work for a larger company, a Human Resources department may have given an overview, but it still makes sense for you to briefly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prior to sitting down with the interviewee, you have two important resources you can use to help prepare: the résumé, and any feedback from prior interviews. I’ve found résumés and cover letters to be very interesting documents. They really run the range from buzzword-packed lists (often targeted at getting past automated résumé scanning software) to [...]]]></description>
