Details on how to arrange for a structured and systematic approach on how to prepare for the interview, potentially using multiple interviewers, are provided. Several interviewing tips demonstrate how to maximize the usefulness of the information gathered during the process.


A three step process allows you to focus one step on each of the three dimensions of success. Step one's initial interview is targeted for the Can Do skills and experience. Step two provides Will Do feedback, ideally derived from the CMPI. Lastly, an in-depth interview can concentrate of the Follow-Through dimension in step three.


The 3D Interview Guide provides numerous, specific, and detailed interview questions for both the initial interview and the in-depth interview steps.


An overall selection scoring system sums up all of the data gathered throughout the process to produce a total score for each candidate.
