Was in overall not a bad experience The 5 Steps of an Interview As I see it, the “anatomy of an interview” consists of five steps: 1. Interview Preparation 2. Starting the Interview 3. Asking the Questions 4. Closing the Interview 5. Assessing the Candidate Before scheduling candidates for interviews, you should make sure to have a list of interview questions to ask each candidate. The list should be made up of both rapport-building questions and behavioral interview questions.
