Hi Josefina,
Welcome to the class.
Good response to the question. I am gong to back up a little bit, though, to the job description. Before you can have an effective interview, it is important to have a well written job description which reflects the actual responsibilities of the job. Once you have that, it is easier to review the applications to make certain the candidates meet your qualifications. I like the fact that you have multiple people conduct interviews because it allows you all to compare your assessment of the candidate's appropriateness for the position and fit for the organization. I also like the fact that you give your interviewers a set of questions with the opportunity to add their own. This again allows the interviewers an opportunity to compare responses based on the same questions. A couple of keys to conducting a great interview are: (1) Having a job description which actually reflects the responsibilities of the job (2) Asking open ended questions and (3) Interviewer must listen more than talk.
