It is important for the interviewer to be flexible and adaptable in their use of skills to ensure that the client feels comfortable and understood. Adapting to the client's culture can also help build rapport and trust, leading to a more successful interview. Adopting the client's style of speaking and nonverbal behavior may come across as insincere or inappropriate. Sticking to the interviewer's own style of interviewing may not be effective if the client's communication style differs significantly. Referring the client to another professional solely based on cultural differences can be seen as discriminatory and should only be done if necessary and with the client's consent.
