5 Interview Blunders

1. Don't ask candidates "what is your greatest weakness? None of your business, really. Instead tell them what is yours. Or rather what is your company's greatest challenge.

2. Don't ask "why are you leaving your current company? They are not leaving yet

3. Don't ask "why we should hire you" instead explain why they should join you

4. Don't ask "where do you see yourself in 5 years" instead explain where you see your compnay in 6 months

5. Don't tell candidates "we will get back to you" if it is not your intention. It is better to be rejected outright, than to be left hanging. Instead, give them advice on the resume or interview. Better yet, call someone in the industry who would be lucky to have them.

Agree?

Experts please add to this list.
