Traditional Interviewing Focuses on Experience
Many questions in a traditional interview require short, factual answers. Some of these answers may already be in your resume, but do not assume that means the interviewer did not read your resume. The interviewer asks the questions to see if your verbal answer agrees with your resume. One of the problems with traditional interview questions is that it is fairly easy for the job seeker to give the “right” answer, rather than give the interviewer any insight into how you approach problems.
Some traditional interview questions have become so overused that they have become the butt of jokes and inspired sketches on comedy shows.
