...Interviews: Among organizational decision-makers, interviews continue to be one of the most frequently used assessment methods to assess candidates for employment, and have been found to be the assessment method most preferred by supervisors and HR practitioners. From an applicant's perspective, obtaining a job interview is fundamental to job search success. Structured Interview Components Campion et al. 1997 studied methods of enhancing interview structure and identified two categories, those components that (1) relate to the interview's content and (2) relate to the evaluation process. Components influencing content: 1. Base questions on job analysis 2. Ask exact same questions of each candidate 3. Limit prompting, follow up questioning and elaboration on question 4. Use better types of questions 5. Use longer interview or larger number of questions 6. Control ancillary information 7. Do not allow questions from candidate until after the interview Components influencing evaluation process 8. Rate each answer or use multiple scales 9. Use detailed anchored rating scales 10. Take detailed notes 11. Use multiple interviewers 12. Use same interviewers across all candidates 13. Do not discuss candidates or answers between interviews 14. Provide extensive interview training 15. Use statistical rather than clinical prediction Other researchers have also proposed a three-dimensional model of interview...

...Evidence Based Practice Task 1 Western Governors University Evidence Based Practice and Applied Nursing Research The nursing topic of interest is bedside handover, which is the concept of conducting shift handover at the patient’s bed instead of doing it at the front desk. Part A The article being analysed is: Tobiano, G., Chaboyer, W. & Murray, A. (2012). Family Members’ Perceptions of the Nursing Bedside Handover. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 22, 192-200. The analysis of the primary research report is done in the form of a graph (figure 1). Each of the four analysis areas is rated within a scale of 1-10; 1 denotes extremely weak while 10 denotes very strong. Table 1 then gives justifications for the rating by explaining why each area of analysis was rated that way in the analysis chart.

...and disparate impact analyses, concluding that the TVA’s subjective hiring processes permitted racial bias to both Dunlap and other black job applicants to occur. The TVA appealed, arguing that the district court erred in each of these analyses. David Dunlap is a black man who has worked as a boilermaker and boilermaker foreman for over twenty years. Most of his work experience has been with TVA through contract or temporary work through his union. He has tried to gain permanent employment with TVA since the 1970s’ to no avail. He applied for a position and submitted his resume and application for a job opening at TVA as a boilermaker. Dunlap was not chosen for the position and he brought suit against TVA. Dunlap alleges that the interview process was biased and TVA selected less qualified candidates some of whom had family affiliations to the Cuberland selection committee members. 1. What were the legal issues in this case? According to Walsh (2010), David Dunlap brought suit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, alleging racial discrimination by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The district court found that Dunlap had been subjected to discrimination under both disparate treatment and disparate impact analyses, and concluded that the TVA’s subjective hiring processes permitted racial bias against both Dunlap and other black job applicants.

...agree that the job interview should be the primary criterion for selection?? Also what is the most common problem to avoid during interviewing? The job interview is a crucial part of the selection process for employment. It is the opportunity for the candidate to rise from the resume paper to become a living, breathing person with a personality. The interview gives the candidate a chance to learn about the job and organization. The interview also gives a manger a chance to assess things about a candidate that can’t be obtained from an application, test, or reference, such as the candidate’s ability to communicate and his personality, appearance and motivation. The job interview allows the organization to evaluate the applicant through the lens of subjective reasoning, even if it means making some educated guesses on possible behavioral patterns. Despite the fact that a personal interview can "make or break" a candidate's chances, there are very few situations where it should be used as a sole criteria for hiring. But in other hand some people are fantastic in an interview setting. In fact, some people are so good that they can convince a person or committee that they should be hired, despite the fact that their resume, experience, and references say otherwise. The reason for this is that some people are excellent thespians. They have solid acting skills on the stage and in the interview room. A thorough selection process includes much more than an interview. It also includes...

...Evidence Based Practice Nursing Implications Evidence Based Practice Nursing Implications Evidence based practice has been changing the direction of care and clinical research with regards safety, patient centered, and cost efficient care delivered to patients. The purpose of this paper will show the importance of Evidence Based Research by defining this form of research and the importance of using the research to improve on nursing practice. It will also show research examples of qualitative and quantitative studies and how it would improve patient outcomes and nursing practice within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Barriers will be discussed that prevent nursing from using and embracing the current research. Finally, the conclusions will summarize the main points of this paper. Importance of Evidence Based Research The importance of evidence based research is, and should, be the driving force on nursing practice to patients. It should go hand in hand with the critical thinking skills that nurses already have and use with regards to care. Evidence Based Research is important because it is an accumulation of information that forms clinical practice. Evidence based research incorporates the patient/family, cost, and safety of care to be delivered. It changes the care from; the way it was always done to the way research proves it should be done, which may still be the way it was always done. The difference is that the now the processes are backed by highly reviewed...

...Journal of Forensic & Investigative Accounting Vol. 4, Issue 2, 2012 The Obvious Fraud: A Short, Problem-Based Case Study to Highlight Inappropriate Fraud Examination Techniques David O’Bryan Jeffrey J. Quirin* INTRODUCTION Assume you are an internal auditor for a large, multinational, manufacturing organization with a division in Mexico. One of your responsibilities is to investigate allegations made on the company’s fraud hotline. When you arrive at work one morning you learn an anonymous tip was left on the hotline that alleges fraud involving the division manager. “Pat’s significant other is a fraudulent vendor,” was the anonymous tip left on your company’s fraud hotline. Pat is a division manager at your company. “Wow. I can’t believe this guy is so blatant,” you’re thinking as you review some accounts payable invoices while following up on this anonymous tip. The invoice that caught your attention is shown in Table 1. A quick search of the AP file reveals a total of three invoices like the one in Table 1, all for identical amounts but on different dates. The division manager, Pat, has the authority to approve payment of invoices for less than $10,000. It is obvious to you that the manager has a created a shell company. You happen to know that Pat’s significant other is named Kim, hence the name Kimco Marketing. There is no documentation to support these transactions other than the invoices, all of which are purportedly for marketing services. * The authors are, respectively...
