Used in an employment interview

Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM13970431

In this discussion you are to develop five questions that could be used in an employment interview to help uncover the interviewee’s talents. Keep these guidelines in mind as you develop your questions:

Avoid questions that are not work-related (for example, "What are your hobbies?")

Strive for open-ended questions. A close-ended question is one that can be answered in a single word or very few words. For example, "Do you like to work in teams?" This type of question is easily answered with a "yes" or "no." An improvement to this could be "Tell us about when you had to deal with conflict within your team and how you helped to resolve it."

Avoid surface-level questions. For example, "Please tell me some of your strengths or weaknesses."

Discuss the reasoning behind your development of the questions you posted and explain what you hope to gain in regards to the candidate’s background/experience. As you extend the discussion with your classmates, you may wish to build on the information they have shared, ask a question, or offer constructive criticism to clarify an issue.
