Asking Personal Questions in Mock Job Interviews.

Ng, Sik Hung

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v5 n1 p33-43 1995

Two studies used a job interview role-play situation to examine strategies that interviewers employed when asking personal as compared to neutral questions. They found that personal questions were asked later in the interview than neutral questions and that more hesitation markers, tag questions, and hedges were used with personal questions than with neutral questions.
