ABSTRACT
Focused or structured interviewing begins with developing a list of essential competences for the position from which behavioural questions are developed. Professional interviews should be based on the competence list and not just the CV. Behavioural Interviewing emphasis here is on gaining examples of the candidate's specific behaviour in their working environment. In an interview, it is important that to establish mutual roles as quickly as possible without putting the candidate, who probably is already anxious, under any additional strain. The other area that needs consideration is the interview environment and what it can communicate to the candidate. Research suggests that senior executives who power pose deliberately are more likely to lie during interviews. Pathological liars candidates lie with malicious intent, they need to manipulate the interviewer to gained, senior surgical positions for which they are not qualified and they enjoy living a lie.
