Entry Requirements
Although most agencies prefer to hire college graduates for EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEWER jobs, a degree is not always needed. In some positions, sales ability is more important. Interviewers that place professionals such as lawyers, physicians, accountants, engineers, or managers, generally have some training or experience in that field, and may need bachelor's, master's, or even a doctoral degree. A high school diploma may be sufficient for placing clerks and laborers.
