Be prepared to discuss in class and also submit a paper (minimum 500 words) regarding your answers to at least four (4) of these questions:

How valid are interviews in predicting overall job performance?
What are some biases of an interviewer that may affect the interview?  Reflect on your own interviewing behaviors – describe them and discuss how you discovered you had them?
What kind of influence tactics have you observed that are being used by an interviewee (the candidate)?
Research the differences between a structured and an unstructured interview – which one yields the better results? What is your opinion and what does the research indicate?
When interviewing a candidate, what is more effective – using situational questions (“Think about a situation when….”) or experience-based questions (“Tell me about the most serious conflict situation you’ve been in….”).  Offer a few examples of each that you use and like.
What impact does the actual process have on the quality of the job interview – does it matter if it is conducted via telephone, video conference, FaceTime or in-person?
The importance of references – share your best practices in conducting reference checks.
When you are under pressure to recruit (time, quality, crisis situation) how does that influence the interview process and outcome?
