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 webinar 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.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Take part in this session and you’ll learn how to:

• Tell the difference between someone who interviews well vs. someone who will perform well on the job
• Determine in advance what you REALLY need to learn in the interview
• Ask powerful interview questions that force authentic answers
• Stay objective and not get “snowed” by smooth-talking interviewer
• Craft a proven agenda to follow during the interview that keeps you in control
• Interpret what interviewees say and assess whether they possess the most important qualities you need (which are the hardest to determine)
• Uncover what resumes don’t tell you that you absolutely must find out
• Avoid the most common mistakes that lead to bad hires, including:
• Asking questions that don’t require truthful, revealing answers
