Like a hoodie and a t-shirt or a wifebeater and a tee? I do the wifebeater+tee combination on hot days so when the WB is completely soaked, I toss it in my backpack and can feel refreshed for 10 minutes until I start soaking the tee as well.

this is my hot day jam, because my wife earwormed we with it:

If it's a job interview the first thing you want to do is write a checklist of the minimum qualifications the interviewee must have. If the interviewee has all the requirements, then they get to go in the 'yes' pile, if not you can discard them as a choice, unless all the candidates miss the checklist items and you then need to go back and regroup.

Take notes while the interview is going on, so you don't mix up any facts from one person to the other, and while the info is fresh i your mind.

Ask tough questions, this may be a future co worker, be sure you want to work with them.

There are questions that it is illegal for you to ask, here's a website that offers some guidance on illegal/inappropriate interviewing questions:

http://www.gsworkplace.lbl.gov/DocumentArchive/BrownBagLunches/IllegalorInappropriateInterviewQuestions.pdf

You can also contact your Department of Labor for anything specific to your state. Age, national origin, color, birthplace, marital status and religious preference are all pretty much universally off limits but there are others.

Good luck!

this is good advice.

I interview a lot. is this for skilled (read: technical, prior education/work exp) or is it for unskilled labor?

when I interview the first thing I do is read their resume thoroughly. obviously weigh it against the qualifications, but also look for typos, innacuracies, etc. if it's sloppy and it looks like they didn't give a poo poo when they wrote it, they probably won't give a poo poo about the job. after that I do the following:

1. start off with some behavioral interviewing questions. there is no shortage of examples of these (and how to grade them) on the internet, but if you pm me I'll shoot you my company's. If you have never used them, they might sound like corporate bs, but they work unbelievably well for any position level. generally, the less specialized the role, the more behavioral interviewing I will do. People are really bad with these and will be very uncomfotable. most candidates are prepared to talk about things on their resume, very very few handle these with ease. so expect nervousness, give them ample time to think and respond. WRITE THEIR ANSWERS DOWN so you can review later. People will be caught off guard but when that happens, they fall back on honesty and will give waaaay more candid responses to subsequent technical questions. just remember not to judge nervousness a lot, cause even when ppl know the questions ahead of time (interviewee tip: most companies publish these on their hiring page) they will still be very on edge. it's almost cruel. almost.

2. when getting to the technical part, ask questions about job duties that you know (from their resume) that they do not necessarily have experience with. for instance, if it's a dishwasher who has never cooked, explain how from time to time they need hands prepping food and if they could do that. look for people who are enthusiastic about it, especially if they are candid and say things like "I don't have experience in that area, but I'm confident I can learn." people who know their experience, but are eager to advance in their career and learn are incredible assets to any team.

3. leave time for questions and actively encourage it. if interviews are at the place of business, offer them a tour and see what they have to say as you walk through. :)

the biggest thing is for you not to be nervous. try to have another person with you, if possible. that helps.

good luck!

oh yeah, I almost forgot - ask why people left their last position! answers will vary, but once in a while you'll get an answer like 'Because Deborah was a bitch' - well not really, but answers that are kind of like that. obvious red flags.

on the other hand

If the reason I'm leaving is because Deborah is a bitch, what's the best way to say that.

"not a fit for the company culture" sounds kinda generic
