Interviewing: An Art and A Science

Course details

Whether you are the interviewer or the person being interviewed, there are many commonalities to what you do and say.  In this course we discuss the more common interview situations found in the workplace and offer suggestions for handling each of these situations.

The process of interacting with other people is both an art and a science.  The interview situation is no different, so wherever possible the advice we give will include some of the techniques used by those who are artful. Sometimes the information offered  will cover pre-interview strategies, such as networking and resume writing.

We cover the interviewer's role as hiring manager, HR or private recruiter, having to counsel an employee whose work is not up to par, investigating a complaint of inappropriate behavior and responding to a request for an informational interview.  For the interviewee we discuss seeking a promotion, job searching, proving your worth, or why the job didn't get done and responding to an allegation of inappropriate behavior.
