Program Description:

Get Up-To-Speed FAST With Two Critical Responsibilities That Impact Your Ability To Recruit, Hire And Retain Top Employees!

Attend One or Both Workshops for an Incredible Day of Training!

In today’s business world, writing job descriptions and conducting job interviews can be two of your toughest work challenges simply because you don’t do them that often. But just because they’re not part of your daily routine, doesn’t lessen their impact on your department – or your company.
That’s why we’ve created these two exciting, fast-paced, half-day seminars that reinforce the importance of these two critical skills, identify their strategic necessity to the organization and keep you legally compliant.

Write Job Descriptions That Spell Everything Out The First Time – Every Time
Attending the morning session, Writing Effective Job Descriptions, may be the most surprising training experience you’ll ever have. You’ll learn the tactical business advantages of having updated job descriptions on file and discover how to focus on core competencies that never change, rather than the skills required for the job that always do.

You’ll gain expert insight into identifying the legal ramifications you and your company could face with inaccurate and outdated job descriptions on file. And, as an added bonus, when you leave, you’ll have an armful of job description templates that will make writing them a breeze!

Gain Critical Skills to Effectively, and Legally, Interview Job Candidates
The afternoon session, Interviewing People, will give you expert insight into this critical job skill. You’ll learn that every job interview involves two basic issues. You need to ask the right questions that cut through all the smoke and mirrors and reveal the best candidate for the job. And, you need to do it 100% legally, without a single discriminatory question, comment or gesture.
After this three-hour session is over, you’ll return to the office with a list of questions and a head full of knowledge that ensure every interview you conduct will quickly and accurately identify the most qualified candidate.

Don’t Learn By Trial And Error – Register Today And Learn To Do It Right!
Both of these skills will go a long way towards increasing your employees’ overall productivity … influencing organizational training decisions … and strengthening the bottom line. But if you’re like most people, you’ve had little or no training on how to do them right. To learn these important skills on the job will cost you dearly in wasted time – and could cost you even more in a court of law!

But you can avoid all that by registering for these powerful workshops today. You can attend only one session if you prefer, but we recommend attending both to double the critical skills you need to find – and keep – top-notch employees.
