Quick takeaways

  • Active interviewing allows job seekers to take control of the conversation, showcase their knowledge, and increase their chances of landing a job offer.
  • Researching the interviewer before the interview and using that information to create conversation hooks or preparing open-ended questions can help steer the conversation and build rapport.

Deep dives

Passive interviewing vs active interviewing

Passive interviewing is when job seekers let the interviewer drive the conversation, answering questions without taking control. This approach reduces outcomes and gives control to the interviewer. Active interviewing, on the other hand, involves taking control of the conversation, dictating the direction and showcasing knowledge about the role and company. Active interviewers create moments to demonstrate their value and increase their chance of landing a job offer.
