Question

Things to consider

1.   Tell me bout your experience dealing with routine work. What kinds of problems did you have to overcome in order to concentrate on the details of the job?

Did the candidate use strategy to maintain attentiveness during routine work? Was there acceptance of diminished alertness, with little effort to improve it?

2.   Describe something you’ve done that underscores your commitment to being attentive to detail in an environment where safety is unusually sensitive consideration.

Did the candidate dutifully monitor all potentially troublesome aspects of the environment and address anything that seemed imperfect? Was there a casual awareness of potential trouble spots and reliance on subsequent quick reactions rather than prevention?

3.   How have you gone about ensuring accuracy and consistency in a document or data you were preparing? Tell me about a specific time in which your attention to detail paid off.

Did the candidate take clear precautions such as proofing thoroughly, double-checking, verifying format consistency, etc.? Was there only a cursory spot check?

Rank the candidate's answer based on his/her response.

Use the Interview Rating Sheet to calculate each candidate's score. Often the highest scoring candidate is best suited for the job. The rating sheet also allows for technical questions to be considered.
