Does being friendly in interviews backfire? I make it a point to be extremely approachable, but I feel like it's been making people ask more intrusive questions than I'd like to answer, or questions that they'd know the answers to once they start working in the company, or questions that they'd know the answers to once they start working in the company. How friendly or not are you during your interviews?

Can you give us an example of an intrusive question? Maybe they want to know what the answer is (Before working at the company) in order to make their decision.

I'm pretty friendly, but I get how the lines can get blurry. If candidates ask intrusive questions, gently steer the conversation back to relevant topics. Balance approachability with maintaining control of the interview flow to keep it productive.
