Interviewing Pitfalls

I do believe there are differentials in interviewing gender, culture and religious beliefs. In many cultures it can be known to make eye contact with someone as disrespect. Body language can also have different meanings within different cultures. For each of these this is where we listen before we take actions, we can verbal and nonverbal offend someone. No two cultures are the same and no two people are the

When preparing for an interview, a great deal of thought and consideration needs to be completed before the interview even begins. The person conducting the interview needs to think about where the interview is going to take place, the time of which it will occur at, and what kind of technology will be used. They need to review the file and consider who is being interviewed, what the person has experienced, and how they may be affected. Interviewing someone is a crucial part of policing, and ultimately helps police solve crimes. When it is done properly, it can be very successful, but if it is not done properly, it could ultimately end an investigation. Therefore, an interview can either be successful or not, and here are some points displaying the success and improvements that can be done in interviews.

One advantage of a semi structured interview is that in the case of participants who tend to answer questions briefly, the interviewer can ask more open ended questions and cater the structure of the interview for the participant. The interviewer has a choice of which order to ask the questions in and how to ask them. For instance, in the transcript for the interview, the interviewer is being provided with one sentence yes/no replies in the beginning. Then, a few questions later, the interviewer asks a more detailed question that asks the participant how they manage their diabetes and who helps them. This prompts a more detailed response from the participant, who has now been asked to speak more freely about their experience with diabetes. Furthermore, for semi-structured interviews, the interviewers can follow what the participants are saying and modify their questions accordingly. The interviewer can be prompted by something the participant has said, and explore that prompt further in their proceeding questions. For example, when the respondent states that they do their own finger prick blood test, the interviewer then explores that deeper by asking follow up questions such as what equipment the participant uses and the difference in their own materials versus the hospital’s. Furthermore, in a semi-structured interview, the participant might bring up interesting points the interviewer had not come across in their

Joel Rifkin, a notorious serial killer had killed seventeen prostitutes from 1989 to 1993. On June 28, 1993 homicide detectives interviewed Rifkin and a year later he was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life. During the investigation homicide detectives had interviewed him. Interviewing is a fundamental skill that all members in justice related professions must be equipped with. Knowing how to effectively interview a victim or offender in a criminal investigation can go a long way. It can help establish important details that have occurred through out the case and help law enforcement establish a modus operandi for the offenders. In any criminal investigation the best evidence in court is a confession from the offender. This paper will analyze an interview that Mark Safarkis, a profiler for the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted on Joel Rifkin. We will analyze and critique some of the approaches the agent used. This paper will examine techniques used throughout the interview such as: verbal following, close-ended questions, open-ended questions, paraphrasing, summarizing and remaining soler.

Planning ahead does not always work in certain areas but when it comes to interviewing you do not want to go into the interview and not know what questions to ask. Patience is one thing you have to have when giving an interview because if you get irritated because they are not answering the questions right or not quickly enough, the interviewee will not want to cooperate anymore. To cover all of your bases and have a written statement, the interviewee might say I did not say that.

In this article Sherwood Fleming spoke about reading individuals body language and tone of voice in a business setting. He spoke about how tone of voice and body language can be misleading when it comes to other cultures. In the American culture we learn to read body language and tone of voice at a young age, usually when someone is not straight forward or not making eye we see that person as not being truthful. While in other countries those same attributes we see as truthful or respectful can easily mean disrespect. The author spoke about French client was working with a Japanese supplier and how he felt like the women wasn’t trustworthy because of her tone of voice or how she diverted her eyes, but how it was disrespectful in her country

In The Cultural Experience, McCurdy, Spradley, and Shandy (2005) offer several pieces of advice for conducting the first interview. The first is to try to perform the interview in a quiet area, away from where the culture takes place so that there are limited distractions and interruptions. In my case of the culture of a locksmith, I plan on conducting my interview in the informant’s living room which is adjacent to his business. The second thing is to make sure that the informant understands the purpose of the interview.

Finally, future research should compare behavioral and situational interviews for assessing personality. There are reasons why these two interview formats may be differentially effective for assessing personality. For example, behavioral interviews should be effective for evaluating personality because traits influence behavior. It is also likely that personality influences intentions, and thus situational interviews could be useful for measuring personality.

Interviewing for a job can be a very stressful event for some, however, there are tons of information out there that if categorized into do’s and don’ts, can help create a favorable and memorable impact.

“Situational interviews assess an applicant’s ability to project what his or her behavior would be in the future hypothetical situations”(Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012). In other words, situational interviews will provide questions such as: ‘what will you do if... questions, or tell us about an event when you was faced with a certain type of conflict, how did you handle the situation? The interviewers in these sections/ interviews are looking for answers from the applicant that will help them to predict how this individual will respond to stressful situations if hired. After receiving a degree in ‘Conflict Resolution’ from Bethel, this cohort starts believing that most organizations will hire an individual based on how well they think he or she is equipped to handle the type of conflict the job that they are applying provides. That’s why the level of education and experience are crucial, considering it focuses on a certain discipline.

I feel that it was very obvious by my behavior at the meeting that interacting and being candid with Amanda makes me incredibly uncomfortable, and that is definitely on me; I wont deny that I have confrontation issues especially when it comes to her. I will do my best to be respectful of her wishes. I acknowledge that I have a bias and I believe that she, as a human being, deserves to be listened to and respected.
