Country	Interview structure?	When is a question out of bounds?
Lichtenstein - typical interview structure	An interview takes 1 to 2 hours. Tests or assessments may take another few hours. There are structured (fixed questions - easy to compare the candidates), semi-structured and non-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews are used most. A possible structure could be: introduction; presentation of the company; questions to the applicant (job, education, interests, extra courses, skills, team spirit, etc.); hobbies and non-professional occupations; personal goals; contract negotiations; summary; and next steps. The atmosphere will be cooperative, open and frank. The ratio between non-professional and professional questions will be half-half. It is important to prove your motivation. The employer wants to know as much as possible about a candidate's motivation, knowledge and skills, but also their personality. You can ask any questions at the end of the first interview. Questions about salary are usually dealt with during the second interview.	Questions about a planned pregnancy, illness, religion or political affiliation should not be answered if they are not relevant to the job.
