Structured Interview

Structured Interview

Part 1:
In Chapter 2 of your text, there is a sample job description in Table 2.1 on pages 42 to 44. Use this job description or one for your current job to begin to create a structured interview. List at least 10 essential KSAO’s for the job that would be best tapped for a structured interview.

Part 2:
Now that you have your list of essential KSAO’s the next step is to actually write questions that will use those tapped KSAO’s. Figure 4.5 on page 142 of your text discusses the different types of questions used in a structure interview. Using this figure as a guide write two examples of each type of interview question making sure you cover all of the essential KSAO’s you listed in part 1.

The following are the question types you must cover:

Clarifiers
Disqualifiers
Skill level determiner
Future focused (situational)
Past focused (behavioral)
Organization fit
