I got tagged to perform a few interviews of candidates for intern / co-op positions in an embedded FW group.<p>So far I've only ever performed interviews for senior positions. I'm concerned my normal questions and conversations won't be appropriate for the candidates and jobs.<p>The candidates are all still working toward a BS degree in a couple of different computer related degrees. Some have one or two internship experiences, but some are looking for the first time.<p>Can anyone share any experience and advice for interviewing candidates at this level?
Start with what you want from the interns (honestly).<p>Cheap labour? New ideas? Cheap labour to throw at new ideas? Your new talent pipeline? Vacation coverage in summer?<p>Have seen all the above been uses for interns.
