Goals of an interview

• Gauge the competence of the applicant.
• Determine if the applicant is a long-term player.
• Determine if the applicant will fit with our company.
• Determine if the applicant cares and have a good heart.
• Observe noteworthy qualities or details about the applicant.
• Probe the applicant on problematic details on the applicant's documents.

The way to evaluate a candidate is to see if they have competently done the job before. This is what nearly all companies do.

If they don’t have proven experience— not to talk generally, but to show actual proof— then they can take our courses and demonstrate via implementation.

The risk is hiring people who haven’t proven they have done the actual tasks. Because once they are hired, it’s hard to get them learning, and it’s expensive to personally train them (which is giving away power hours for free, while paying them to train up).

If you were to apply to be a surgeon at a hospital, they wouldn’t just hire you without having gone through rigorous medical residency. Would you want to be his first patient for the operation?

Imagine the same for a pilot trying to fly a plane but hasn’t done it before. Or any other skilled profession.
