When was the last time you did not hire an applicant who was new to the country? Perhaps it was due to lack of Canadian or American work experience, communication skills, or something else. But in your mind, you wish you did because they appeared to qualify.

In this episode, you will learn the type of questions to ask as well as which questions to avoid. Furthermore, how you can rephrase questions when interviewing a candidate who may be unfamiliar with the western cultural interview process.

I will also focus on understanding the cultural elements that explain why many immigrants are hesitant to answer basic questions such as "Tell me about yourself?'

By understanding these fundamentals of interviewing new immigrants, you may no longer reject ideal applicants who could add value not only to the workplace but also the organization.
