Hire Right: Perfect Your Interviewing Skills - 5.0 CPE Credits August 24, 2011

Traditional interview methods often include questions that are too broad, "Tell me about yourself" or too specific, "Have you created computer code that...?" instead of those that are just right for predicting on the job success. Learn to follow a behavior-based interview model and use accurate information gathering techniques to best assess applicants' ability to perform and fit well.

You'll use a job description from your own company to practice crafting legally acceptable questions focused on critical performance factors, job required competencies, and organizational "fit," that you can ask at future interviews. We'll also discuss reducing the "halo effect" and spotting "red flags" on resumes and applications.

PLEASE BRING A POSITION DESCRIPTION TO USE TO CREATE BEHAVIOR-BASED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
