Avoid: Questions that don’t require an interview Leading questions Hostile, loaded questions Double barreled/Overloaded questions

Clear purpose

Interview Questions: Hostile, loaded questions

Example: Did you enjoy spoiling the dinner for everyone else? Do you think you spoiled the dinner? Did you enjoy it? Question loaded with question and assertion

Double-barreled (more than one question) Example: Do you enjoy Dr. Goldman’s exams

and activities? Do you enjoy her exams? Do you enjoy her activities? Question loaded with more than one question
