[QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1370157, member: 204"]
Actually I have interviewed candidates for a number of years.

There are various techniques that can be used during the interview.

Some questions will be open-ended.

Some will be in the form of hypotheticals.

Some will be strictly informational or biographical.

And some will be yes/no questions that will address specific issues.

The issues that the next AD will have to address will involve academic oversight, compliance, athletic marketing, which does include the uniform issue - an issue that every major college program has been addressing over the past few years, coaching, fund raising, television, PR, including alumni relations and community relations, and general marketing of the department.

The next AD will have to decide whether he or she wishes to bring in his/her own administrative staff. As Chancellor or as a member of the Board of Trustees I may want the present staff to remain intact. So, I would need to address the candidate's views on that subject in determining whether there is a fit.

So, yes, general questions like "where do you see yourself in five years?" or "what do you see as our culture?" or "what major challenges do you see on the horizon?" are nice, but normally not particularly insightful or helpful. Those kinds of questions normally prompt BS answers.

Anyway, thanks for playing Millhouse.
