Effective Interviewing
Description
Almost everything in business depends upon the competency of your employees; therefore, the people you hire are critical to your success. What you want to do is hire the best person for the job. What you do not want to do is find yourself defending your practices. Do you ever feel that the workplace is becoming a minefield of what not to say and what not to do?
