About this title

Review

Most people working in a business will get involved in interviewing at some point in their career. Even if interviewing potential new recruits is not part of our regular work activity, we can get asked onto a panel because we have special skills, or because it is seen as good work experience. This booklet could be particularly useful for the irregular interviewer who needs to remind themselves of essential skills, especially where formal training is not provided.

The book covers all the bases. There is a section on preparing for the interview which includes material on selecting interviewees and preparing questions as well as honing listening skills. Where the interview itself is concerned you'll find pointers on topics like reading all-important body language, using tests, and how to open and close an interview. And there is plenty of advice on assessing interviews and making final shortlists as well as help on dealing with those who have not been given the job. --Sandra Vogel
