Q&A: Setting up your office when interviewing potential employees
Q: Is there a better way to set up my office to create a comfortable setting when interviewees come in for their interview?

A: While there is no “correct” way to set up your office, you will want to remember a few things. First, make sure your office is organized. You don’t want papers spread all over your desk and mail (opened or unopened) left laying around. Second, make sure that the interview has plenty of space to sit and lay their personal belongings such as the briefcase, folders, and coat directly around them. Finally, if you have a window office, you will want to make sure that your blinds are closed. Your desk probably sits where the sunlight doesn’t effect you, but it probably will effect the person sitting across from you.
