Selecting qualified candidates through effective interviewing.

Some managers may not feel confident conducting job interviews. A major reason is that most have not been trained to interview, and managers in departments with few employees and/or low turnover rates usually do not interview frequently enough to develop the skill on their own. Hiring the wrong employee results in wasted time, effort, and money, and possibly a law suit. A list of what you can and cannot legally ask during the selection process is presented in Table 1. The best way to avoid problem employees is not to hire them in the first place.
