Does the way the people being interviewed answer questions appear to be pre meditated at all?

Question

I particularly notice their lack of hand gestures, the controlled and constant speed at which they answer the questions, the fact that they are dead still in the seat, the dry monotony of their speech pattern and the content of the answers.

Answer 1

Of course. Many people try to prepare what they are going to say to answer the most common interview questions. Especially if they are like me and read those self help interviewing books.

Answer 2

I have interviewed a few people in the last week and they didn't use any hand gestures. I found it didn't help them in their application.

I tend to make it more of a get to know what you are like and if we can wok together before inviting them down again for the second interview.

I did notice that their answers were pre meditated.

So much for interviewing others... now I'm in the hot seat being interviewed. lol

Then again, planning and preparing before hand only makes it worse as you try to say what you prepared and mess it up due to nerves.

I say go in and go with the flow.. if the job was meant to be yours then it will go rather well.
