TRUTH IN INTERVIEW - Part II
From PART I: Somewhere, we learned that if we hire an applicant with the skills we need, the results will be an employee who will do a great job. WRONG! Skills simply means the applicant can do the job, it does not mean they will do the job better than anyone else. Making hiring decisions based on skills leaves job performance a mystery until after the hire. Interview-savvy applicants have made it tougher for interviewers to accurately assess motivation, often causing the misjudgment to favor applicants who are NOT High Performers.

How Do You Know If YOU Are A High Performer?
In order to answer this question and know if we are a high performer, we must first define the term 'High Performer'. The simple definition is a person who achieves the best results. It's not just someone who works hard. More specifically it is someone who is able to produce desired results and achieve more of their goals. When we compare high achievers to those who fall short, a discernible difference exists. But this comparison suggests that everyone falls into either one group or the other - achiever or non-achiever. It's not quite that black and white.
How Do You Know If YOU Respond Effectively To Adversity?
You've heard the saying, "Change your thinking - change your results". It's true, but do you know what thinking needs to change and from what to what? It's not just about heaving positive thoughts on top of a dismal situation. Nor is it about denial. A bad decision followed by hopeful thinking doesn't change the bad decision into a good one. Understanding how the High Performer is able to achieve a desired outcome is the first step we must take to improve our own productivity.
How Do YOU Create The Outcome You Want?

Psssst... hire the quiet one...
So which candidate is going to get the job offer? The quiet one that answered all your questions very well, or that incredibly outgoing candidate that could barely stay seated? Leaning towards the firecracker? After all, who doesn't prefer the smiley super enthusiastic candidate?

Successful Interviewing
The primary reason for the failure of most interviews to identify a truly outstanding candidate is that most interviews focus on the capabilities, background and experience of the prospective employee. This approach ignores the fact that the interviewee is a human being that the employer is going to have to live with day after day. There is a way to stack the odds in your favor and significantly increase the likelihood that you will be satisfied with the employee that you select. It all depends upon how you conduct the employee interview.

Attracting Passionate Employees
Do you feel like it’s really hard to find great people? And after you find them, to keep them? Great people–people who are passionate about what you do and about their own contribution, and who have the ability to add value–have always been hard to find and keep. They have the most options, they’re the most in demand, and they know it. They are first rate and don’t have to accept a second-rate situation. This article will give you the basics on how to attract these in-demand individuals.
The Incompetent Interviewer
If you've been job hunting lately, chances are strong you've run into an incompetent interviewer. My experience is that many people responsible for interviewing see it as a necessary evil.

The Secret Ingredient
Many companies measure their success by revenues, income and other traditional accounting yardsticks. The problem is that the accounting approach measures how you did but not how you should have done.
Would you hire this person?
This addresses a pet peeve of mine. And that’s the “Objective” on resumes. Here is a recent example on a resume submitted for my review: “To support the growth and profitability of an organization that provides challenge, encourages advancement, and rewards achievement with the opportunity to utilize my experience, skills, and proven abilities.” Sounds great – would you like to hire this person? But what do you know about this person? Is he/she a candidate for flipping hamburgers or for a CEO position? Does he have skills in supervising, organizing, planning, selling, marketing, etc? Is she proficient in any computer skills? We don’t know. This “Objective” tells us absolutely nothing about the person. It was a total waste of time on the applicant’s part.

Seven Items To Consider When Interviewing Potential Staff Members
Do you put a lot of effort into interviewing candidates for a position yet end up with those you hire leaving the organization within a few months or year? In the nonprofit field, most organizations have limited budgets, often resulting in lower salaries and a high turnover in staff members. If you want to attract qualified individuals whose primary focus is on people and human service oriented work versus a higher salary, I have found there are certain steps supervisors should take when interviewing potential candidates. The following article identifies my top seven items to consider during the interview process, to ensure you identify the most qualified applicants.
The Employment Interview --- How Hard Can It Be
Interviewing a new job candidate sounds easy. After all, you are in control. You have something to offer. You can select anyone you choose to select. Right? That sounds good but in reality interviewing a person to fill a job opening is one of the more difficult tasks you may face as a manager. It does require specific skills to do it right and increase your chance of hiring the ideal person for the job; the person that will stay and fit in with the culture of your company. That being said, I personally don't know of one company that has a formal program to train their managers on how to conduct an interview. Interview training is much the same as training managers how to conduct a performance review. It is a rarity to find a company that actually does it.

Oscar-Winning INTERVIEWING Performances Are On The Rise!

Companies that Win are Companies that Teach
Winning organizations seem to have a knack for leadership development throughout their organization. One key principle that I have found present in this type of organization is the fact that they hire well and they fire better. Generally their managers have been trained on the interviewing and hiring process. This is rare phenomenon. Ask yourself how many of your managers have really been trained on the interviewing process? Companies that actually do train their managers have a high success rate for finding and keeping good employees is above average. Recruitment and retention becomes part of their culture and the responsibility of everyone. Leadership is more than just a word in these companies and leadership potential is sought out, encouraged and developed. Who has Leadership Potential?

The Challenge of Hiring
Interviewing a new job candidate sounds easy. After all, you are in control. You have something to offer. You can select anyone you choose to select. Right? That sounds good but in reality interviewing a person to fill a job opening is one of the more difficult tasks you may face as a manager. It does require specific skills to do it right and increase your chance of hiring the ideal person for the job; the person that will stay and fit in with the culture of your company. Whether you employ one person, or five hundred, choosing the right employees can be a challenge. How do you k now for sure which person you interview is the right one for your company?
