The default approach of surprising candidates with questions during interviews should be reconsidered. By providing interview questions in advance, candidates have the opportunity to prepare thoughtful answers, allowing employers to assess their clarity and depth of thinking.

This approach enhances the evaluation of crucial skills for potential hires.
