The Employment Interview

Organizations use different techniques for gathering information that reflects an individual's education and experience, skills and abilities, and personal characteristics. Most organizations rely on a comprehensive system of multiple selection techniques to ensure that they gather all the relevant data and that they assess this data rigorously, objectively, and without discrimination. The most widely used selection technique is the employment interview. Interviews are face-to-face conversations between prospective job applicants and representatives of the organization.

Imagine that you are on the interview team responsible for hiring an HR Assistant. You will work closely with the HR Assistant. For this assignment you will read the job advertisement included below and develop three questions that you will ask during the interview, and what you hope to learn about the candidate from the question.

Please note federal and state laws prohibit prospective employers from asking certain questions that are not related to the job they are hiring for. Questions should be job-related and not used to find out personal information. Employers should not ask about an applicant's race,gender, religion, marital status, age, disabilities, ethnic background, country of origin, sexual preferences or age unless it is job related.

Please use the following format to complete the assignment. Don’t forget to include your name,course name, assignment number and the date submitted at the top of your assignment.
