Some tips for writing structured interview questions include ensuring the questions are:

► Reflective of the job,

► Tied to competencies identified through a job analysis,

► Open-ended,

► Clear and concise,

► At an appropriate reading level,

► Free of jargon or "Governmentese", and

► Written with superlative adjectives (e.g., ask for the most, last, worst, least, or best experience or example that demonstrates the competency).
