This is best accomplished by asking questions about job related competencies to determine whether the candidate has previous experiences successfully using these competencies. Introduction Phase Encourage some small talk to give the candidate time to get settled and to help him/her ease into the conversational flow of the interview. Candidates usually feel more comfortable when they know what to expect in an interview. Share your general format with the candidate. Tell the candidate that you may be writing during the interview and explain why you will be doing this. Assure candidates that two-way questioning is allowed and encouraged. Make it clear that the candidate will have an opportunity to ask questions at the conclusion of the process Interview Phase Have your competency based questions ready for scoring. We recommend a 1 to 5 scoring grid; a score of 1 would mean the candidate has demonstrated no experience using the competency and a score of 5 indicating the candidate has a deep understanding of the competency and has used it successfully in the past with good results. Probing: After asking a planned question, you may want to probe for more information to support a candidate's response. Probes are usually unplanned; you use them when you want the candidate to clarify or expand upon a point or when you want more insight into his/her thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.(\"Please expand upon that.\" \"Describe how you .\") Clarifying Inconsistencies: When a candidate appears to be caught in a contradiction, it may be appropriate to bring the conflicting information to the surface for clarification. (\"You mentioned earlier that you were involved in developing a distance education course. You are now indicating that you have limited experience with distance education and need to learn more about it. Please clarify your experience with distance education.\") Paraphrasing: When in doubt that you have fully understood a candidate's response, restate what you think you heard in your own words and ask the candidate for feedback. (\"You are basically stating that there are several ways to handle this situation depending upon the way in which the client presents the problem. Is that what you meant?\") Silence or Pause: Silences or pauses are an effective technique for encouraging the candidate to do the talking. When there is a silence or pause, don't jump in with another question; allow the candidate time to reflect and form a response. Look expectantly at him or her while you wait. Repeating: When the candidate appears to be avoiding a question, come back to it again. While the candidate may have reasons for trying to evade it, she/he may simply have gotten sidetracked or may not fully understand what you mean. Dependability Dependability involves the employee being reliable, on time, responsible, dependable, and consistently fulfilling commitments. On the job the employees must do what they say and say what they do. A dependable employee can be trusted to give straight answers, follow through, and complete assignments on time and within budget. Their behaviour is predictable and seldom holds any surprises or unexpected reactions. They can be counted on to be honest and upfront with co-workers regardless of the situation. Before you ask this question, best practice suggests that you know beforehand the kind of dependability associated with both satisfactory and unsatisfactory job performance. Everyone has deadlines to meet. Do you think it's ok to miss a few from time to time ?

People with high integrity follow rules and regulations associated with the job and are uncomfortable when they are violated. Before you ask this question, best practice suggests that you know beforehand the kind of integrity associated with both satisfactory and unsatisfactory job performance.

This includes things such as checking and rechecking work, setting up monitoring systems, noticing missing details, accurately completing forms, following directions, and planning projects to the final detail. Before you ask this question, best practice suggests that you know beforehand the kind of details that are associated with both satisfactory and unsatisfactory job performance. What process do you use to keep track of many tasks happening at once ? Can you give me an example ? 1 2 3 4 5 Minimal ability/NA Average ability Exceptional ability Comments Cooperation Cooperation requires being pleasant with others on the job and displaying a good-natured, cooperative work attitude. This trait differs from concern for others in that it not only includes the willingness to empathize, but includes volunteering to actively share their work load or help resolve their problems. Specific employee activities include listening to what another person is saying, empathizing with their situation, asking questions to clarify issues, explaining how the problem affects them both, and jointly developing a plan of action. Before you ask this question, best practice suggests that you know beforehand the level of cooperation associated with both satisfactory and unsatisfactory job performance.

Successful leaders stand up for themselves, naturally take charge of groups or teams, and are very persuasive when they need to be.

It covers technical skills, behavioral competencies, communication ability, and role fit — ensuring every candidate is evaluated against the same standard rather than the interviewer's impression in the moment.\n",{"question":406,"answer":407},"What questions should I ask in an office clerk interview?","Effective office clerk interviews combine four question types: background questions about prior administrative experience and task volume, technical questions verifying proficiency with Microsoft Office and filing systems, behavioral questions using the STAR method to surface real past situations, and situational questions testing judgment under competing priorities. Mixing these types gives a more complete picture than relying on any single category alone.\n",{"question":409,"answer":410},"Why should I use a structured interview guide instead of conducting the interview freeform?","Structured interviews are significantly more predictive of job performance than unstructured ones. When every candidate answers the same questions and is scored on the same rubric, comparisons are based on evidence rather than rapport or first impressions. Structured guides also reduce the risk of inadvertently asking questions that could constitute discrimination under employment law.\n",{"question":412,"answer":413},"How many interviewers should use this guide for one candidate?","For an office clerk role, one to two interviewers is typical. A hiring manager conducts the primary structured interview using the guide, and a second interviewer — often the team lead or a colleague — may conduct a shorter culture-fit or skills verification session. Having more than three interviewers for a clerical role is usually unnecessary and can intimidate candidates.\n",{"question":415,"answer":416},"Should I include a practical skills test as part of the interview?","Yes, for any role where software proficiency or accuracy is critical. A 5–10 minute task — formatting a Word document, sorting a spreadsheet, or drafting a short email — provides objective evidence of skill level that self-reported ratings cannot. Keep the task short, role-relevant, and consistent across all candidates to ensure fairness.\n",{"question":418,"answer":419},"How should I score candidates on the interview guide?","Use a numeric rubric — typically 1 to 5 per competency — with written anchor descriptions at each level so all interviewers define the scale the same way. Complete scores immediately after each interview, not at the end of the day. Sum the competency scores and weight them according to the role's priorities. Compare totals across candidates only after all interviews are complete to avoid anchoring bias.\n",{"question":421,"answer":422},"What should I avoid asking in an office clerk interview?","Avoid questions about age, marital status, family plans, national origin, religion, disability, or any other characteristic protected under employment law in your jurisdiction. Stick to questions that are directly relevant to the candidate's ability to perform the specific duties of the office clerk role. When in doubt, ask yourself whether the question would be asked of every candidate — if not, omit it.\n",{"question":424,"answer":425},"How long should an office clerk interview take?","A complete structured interview using this guide typically runs 45 to 60 minutes — 5 minutes for the role overview and context, 30–35 minutes for the question sections, 5–10 minutes for a practical skills task, and 5–10 minutes for candidate questions and next steps. Schedule a 5-minute buffer after each session to complete the scorecard before the next candidate arrives.\n",{"question":427,"answer":428},"How long should I keep completed interview guides on file?","Retain completed interview guides for at least 12 months after the hiring decision in most jurisdictions, and up to 2 years if your organization is subject to OFCCP or government contractor compliance requirements in the US.
