The Human Resources Interview is an early, if not your first contact with a company. keep in Mind HR can say no to you, though they cannot say yes by themselves. Therefore, don't overlook this part of the interview process. (Thanks Z). The objective for HR is to eliminate fakers, assess your reliability and fit for your prospective team and company. They also want to assess the risk of your committing organization-damaging behavior.
There are several things they want to know; Help them answer these questions without evasion, while demonstrating respect for them and your former organization, and you will do well.
1. Are your resume credentials and experience real or exaggerated?
This will be checked outside the interview.
2. Why did you leave your last job, or why are you seeking to leave your current company? Do you treat your previous company and colleagues with respect?
3. Is the company a stepping stone or rest stop in your career, or do you really want to find a home here? How long do you really intend to stay?
4. How would you interact with their company's culture? Is your humor appropriate? Do you listen Well? (etc)
5. What is your potential for long term employment and development within the company? Do you want to make a contribution to the company, you want to work hard and grow in the company, or simply rent your time by the hour?
6. Are you going to be happy with the money they can pay you now, and is their room to grow in the future? IF you must have the top pay in a given range, you may not get a raise for a couple of years. This makes for an unhappy employee in the future.
7. Are you here to serve and make others around you better, or are you there to be served, and use the others around you to enhance your own objectives?
Keep in Mind, two key Human Resources roles are risk management and to be the keepers of the company culture. treat them and their roles seriously, with respect, and not just a gate keeper, and you will do well.
