Complete Interview Procedures for Hiring School Personnel
Gagnon Jr, William L.
Rowman & Littlefield Education
Most school districts do not have a full time human resources administrator to conduct interviews and this important task most often becomes the responsibility of the building principal or a department head. Here is a guide designed for hiring employees, both professional staff as well as non-professional, in public, parochial, or private schools. It offers more than 1,000 interview questions in 48 employment categories ranging from superintendent and business manager to security officer and parent volunteer. It includes discussion about the hiring process and the different types of interviews that will be particularly useful to educators trying to develop guidelines and procedures for hiring personnel. Jobseekers, too, can use the questions to help them prepare for career-making interviews. Following acknowledgments and a introduction, this book is divided into two parts. Part I, The Interview Process, presents: (1) Identifying The Position: The Job Description; (2) Posting and Advertising the Vacancy; (3) Screening the Candidate's Vitae; (4) Conducting Criminal Background Checks; (5) Determining the Type Of Interview; (6) Using Warm-Up Questions; (7) Providing Planned Materials; (8) Requiring Candidates to Teach; (9) Selecting the Interview Questions; (10) Answering the Candidates Questions; (11) Evaluating the Interview; and (12) Evaluating the Procedure.
