Interviewing Technique Etiquette

 Conduct interviews in a manner that emphasizes 
abilities, achievements and individual qualities.
 Conduct your interview as you would with anyone. Be 
considerate without being patronizing.
 When interviewing a person with a speech 
impediment, stifle any urge to complete a sentence of an 
interviewee.
 If it appears that a person's ability inhibits performance 
of a job, ask: How would you perform this job?
Examples:
Inappropriate: I notice that you are in a wheelchair, 
and I wonder how you get around. Tell me about your 
disability.
Appropriate: This position requires digging and 
using a wheelbarrow, as you can see from the job 
description. Do you foresee any difficulty in 
performing the required tasks? If so, do you have any 
suggestions how these tasks can be performed?
