From CollegeRecruiter.com’s Sample Interview Questions for Those Hiring Millennials<\/a>:<\/p>\n

William recommends that interviewers “incorporate more personal questions that expose a candidate’s personality, work ethic, and personal motivations” because “how a person approaches life is often indicative of how they’d approach work.” He therefore recommends rephrasing typical interview questions in a way that they better apply to the personal lives of your candidates. Sample interview questions in this area include:<\/p>\n
\n
How do you primarily communicate with friends? How often?<\/li>\n
When you have a dilemma to solve, how do you approach it?<\/li>\n
How do you spend your free time? (Do you prefer doing activities solo, with friends, or in groups?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
