Week 6 Discussion 2
- Are Interviews a Waste of Time?
Please refer to the
Discussion Grading Rubric for details regarding how your performance will be
assessed. NOTE: Please be certain to read the entire
discussion assignment since in some cases there is more than one question
you need to discuss, respond to, or address. Be sure that you have answered the
entire question!
Initial Post
This posting should be
a minimum of one short paragraph and a maximum of two paragraphs. Word totals
for this post should be in the 100–200-word range. Explain why with supporting
evidence and concepts from the course material. Include in-text citations
and associated references in a reference list.
Preparation
Technology has changed
the way many people move through the hiring process. Many of you will receive
job offers due to your information on LinkedIn and will sit through an initial
interview on Skype before ever setting foot in the office of your potential
employer.
Yet, interviews are the
most widely used form of employee selection, but as Google HR manager Lazlo
Blok said, “Most interviews are a waste of time, because 99.4 percent of the
time is spent trying to confirm whatever impression the interviewer formed in
the first ten seconds.”
For Discussion
- What can human resource managers do
in order to make the interview process a more reliable indicator of an
individual’s ability to be successful?
- Based on the course readings, what
types of interviews or alternatives to interviews would you recommend if
you were a human resource manager? Is there something you would add to the
hiring process to make it more reliable?
- If you have been interviewed for a
job, what, if anything, did the interviewer do that you believe made the
process more or less reliable?
Instructions for Responses
to Classmates’ Posts
After you have created
your initial post, look over the discussion posts of your classmates and give
at least two responses to different classmates (one per classmate) as outlined
in the Discussion Grading Rubric.
A response posting
should be a minimum of one short paragraph. Word totals for these posts should
be in the 75–100-word range. The goal of your response posts is to
extend discussions already taking place or pose new possibilities or ideas not
previously voiced. Your goal should be to motivate the group discussion
and present a creative approach to the topic. Do not merely agree or
disagree, repeating what a classmate stated or what you have already
stated. Explain the 'why and how' with supporting evidence and concepts
from the course material. Include in-text citations and associated
reference within a reference list.
