What is a Flash Interview?

The Flash Interview is one of the most popular forms of interviewing today. It basically involves a construction executive job seeker meeting a top executive or executives from the prospective employer during an interview process, who gives the construction executive job seeker a quick "going over" or "look see" for final approval on the hire.

These interviews are often unannounced, and don't last but a few minutes. The interview lets the construction executive job seeker know he or she is important enough to personally meet the top brass and ask any questions, but it also gives the top brass an opportunity to quickly assess the construction executive job seeker and say no to the hire.

The theory behind Flash Interviews is that most executives feel they can evaluate a construction executive job seeker on first impressions and know a good one from a bad one when they see one.

A good strategy for construction executive job seeker's who encounter a Flash Interview is to always have a few key questions for the top brass should you encounter them, and make sure you ask questions that get their unique vision for the firm and position.
