EFFECTIVE INTERVIEWING
by Dr. Beverly Potter
Takes Skill
Interviewing is both an art and a science. When job
interviewing you
must draw candidates out, but not put words in their mouths or jump to
conclusions. You must be objective and detached but not cold and
intimidating.
Identify
Requirements
The process begins long before candidates are seen. An
inventory of
the job and the environments must be made to determine what attributes,
skills and experience are needed. Then the challenge: Matching
candidates
to the job requirements in order to hire a winner.
Networking &
Socializing
Effective interviewing skills are needed whenever you must
get information
from others. Good interviewing techniques are essential to networking
so
you can find out what you need to know from co-workers, customers and
bosses.
Effective information gathering skills can promote your social life
because
people enjoy someone who puts them at ease, draws them out and listens.
This workshop covers
the dos and
don'ts of each step of information gathering. Effective techniques are
practiced in small groups. The session is fast paced. The practice is
fun
and unintimidating.
