Scott, I like your approach, Scott. Those job responsibilities become a part of the job description and the qualifications for the specific position you are looking to fill. That can then drive the development of the questions you will ask each candidate. It is also important to make certain that those questions are open ended so you have a reasonable chance of really assessing the candidate's fit/qualifications for your position. The blend of questions is appropriate since that gives you an opportunity to follow up on questions you might still have. For example, there may be something from the resume which triggers a questions or the candidate's response to a structured question might warrant a follow up question. You are in control but the candidate is doing the majority of the talking. s Dr. Patricia Kapper
