Mistakes in interviewing can cost you money and cause you heartache. You've probably experienced this a time or two. Creating and conducting a high-quality interview takes work and planning. The days of an interview being equivalent to an interrogation are gone. Today's working environment demands that you do more than simply grill a candidate. You must develop a process and an environment that is conducive to data gathering. You must function as a facilitator of communication whose goal is to measure essential job skills while maintaining the integrity of the candidate. And you must ensure this process takes place in a fair and focused manner. The series, "Behavioral Interviewing" will teach you how to do all of these things and more. You'll learn how to set the stage for the interviewing process by defining and describing the job and attracting and screening applicants. You'll understand each stage of the interviewing process and know what actions are critical at each stage. You'll develop the skills and techniques needed to negotiate the kind of offer that turns a candidate into an employee. Finally, you'll be given guidance on how to conduct yourself as a candidate if you're the interviewee who's experiencing the behavioral interviewing process.
