The interview questions are very standard. Initial screening and director interviews were very positive. Since I was shifting my career focus and past experience, the press was for why do you want to move into this position. I asked questions to sort of reveal some culture. The hiring manager was, perhaps lacking management and leadership experience. It was quite evident when he consistently reinforced his access to the CEO. While it's understood that things come up with those that may be interviewing candidates (I was supposed to interview with 2-3 people) on the day of the actual interview, be sure to prep those that are doing so to not be stressed during the interview. Regardless of a psychological strategy, you should not make your candidates feel like they are a burden.
