Smoke Out Impostors in Job Interviews

WHY ATTEND

The fact is, even bad hires can start out with great resumes and impressive interviewing skills. So, how can you be sure that the next person you hire will be a winner? How confident are you that you can smoke out slick job candidates who either misrepresent themselves or genuinely believe they can do a job they can’t? How confident are you that you actually have a method for interviewing job candidates so you end up with the “right” person?

If you have any doubts, this engaging and information-packed conference is for you. HR and training expert Amy Henderson will walk you through a step-by-step framework for cutting through resume and interview hype so you can determine whether a candidate is actually right for the job.
