Understand the employer’s concerns about this interview. These could include any of the following:

  • Is this a candidate who interviews well but performs poorly?
  • Will this candidate do his or her best to be here on time, and for each scheduled shift?
  • What if this candidate gets hired and trained, and then leaves in a few weeks or months?
  • Is this candidate someone who wants to put in a good effort, or someone that just wants to do the minimum requirements?
  • What if this candidate turns out to be irresponsible, foolish or dishonest, a gossip, a crook, or something worse, and makes me look bad?
