    Joint actions like everyday conversations feature the use of speech particles like back-channels or discourse markers to coordinate transitions from one part of the action to another. Transitions can be either horizontal (within tasks or subtasks; i.e., moving from one step to the next in a task) or vertical (between tasks or subtasks). In English, okay is typically used to coordinate vertical transitions. In institutionalized joint actions, okay is used especially by institutional representatives to manage the joint action. Little is known about these uses of okay in other languages, or about when okay may have diffused into those languages. We investigated the use of okay as a vertical coordination marker in Swiss German research interviews and Swiss French job interviews. Okay was consistently used as a vertical transition marker in both settings, especially by interviewers. Younger participants used okay more often than older participants. The findings suggest that okay may have diffused into other languages not only as a marker of agreement, but also as a marker for coordinating transitions.

    In behavioural interviews, past-behaviour questions invite applicants to tell a story about a past job-related situation. Nevertheless, applicants often do not produce stories on demand, resorting to less appropriate responses. In a sample of real selection interviews (Study 1), only 50% of applicants’ responses to past-behaviour questions were indeed stories. We explored two factors that may increase applicants’ storytelling tendencies: probing and information about past-behaviour questions. In two experiments simulating selection interviews, we manipulated recruiter probing during the interview (Study 2) and the level of participants’ information about the expected answer format of past-behaviour questions (Studies 2 and 3). Probing induced participants to tell more stories and to include more narrative diversity in their stories, but there was no effect of giving participants information or not. More information did help participants to tell less pseudostories (generic descriptions of situations). Analyses of participants’ thoughts and emotions experienced during question-answering suggest that finding an appropriate example to narrate is a major problem. Storytelling rate also varied by competency. Findings are relevant for theories of behaviour elicitation in selection situations.

    Disfluent Responses to Job Interview Questions and What They Entail

    Conversation is governed by expectations of timely responding. Violations of these expectations are grounds for inference by other participants. These inferences may be at odds with identities respondents try to project. In job interviews, candidates’ responses are used to make hiring decisions. Candidates trade off between (1) delaying response initiation to search for an appropriate response at the risk of appearing inept and (2) responding quicker but less appropriately. In a corpus of job interviews, response delays predicted the probability of inappropriate initial responses and decreased hireability ratings, illustrating how unintended aspects of conversational delivery can entail social and institutional consequences beyond the conversation itself.
