Chapter 6 Discussion

1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Interviewing. It is important to know how your employees will communicate with those around them. A lot of the business does well according to the customer service of the company so it would make sense to pick the employees that will accomplish that for the company. But then again there can be problems with interviews. Like for one it takes up time from the employer. It can be based on certain peoples biases. You can run into discrimination problems.
2. I think that only one of my jobs had a great and effective interview and that was for my nanny job. My job at the bakery and at a scrapbooking store weren't very effective. They just asked me the stupid questions that they have been asking people since they first started the company. I want to feel important and like the employer is actually thinking hard on whether to hire me or not, not just going through the motions.
3. I think it is good to have interviews but I don't think they have to be the only thing that decides if the person should get the job. Some people get nervous and may not be themselves in an interview. I think it is important to see them actually perform. I think it is important to figure out what would be the best questions to ask those that want to be hired and then figure out if you want them to answer what you want to hear or be truthful.
4. How do you have a comfortable but formal setting in a job interview? What kinds of problems do you think will occur in the company if you choose not to interview? What are your opinions on Interviews?
