Add to Roy Anderson's excellent list of things an interviewer can do
to show consideration for a job candidate:

      'and hold all calls.'


(With the popularity of cellular/wireless communications, I suppose
this applies to BOTH the  interviewer AND the job candidate).

I appreciate being offered something to drink, but I REALLY appreciate
it when the interviewer tells the secretary/AA to 'hold all calls,'
forwards calls to another's station, or simply blocks calls (sending
them, one hopes, to voice mail).

I understand 'emergencies' arise, but if there is more than one, I
begin to suspect the manager can't (manage). At this point I start
thinking about a polite exit line.

Multiple interruptions, confrontational interviews, and 'sneaky'
questions result in the same thing: my muttering unkind things as I
summarize the interview on my way home. I AM nasty enough to tell
others about ZYX Company and the [expletive deleted] interviewer(s).
(OTOH, I do write a polite note to the interviewer{s} the essence of
which is 'take this job and ...')
