This training program teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approach™ to interviewing, which is presented in the More than a Gut Feeling III video program that is part of this training session.

This method, developed by Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. Attendees of this class will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques, which will enable them to refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by:

Asking rapport-building questions
Discussing the job
Taking notes and explaining why
Asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers
Allowing for silence if necessary
Maintaining control
Getting contrary evidence and evaluating
