How do you replace yourself? The Little Brown Bean Coffee Shop is doing better than you expected. You have the opportunity to secure a great location in the east end of the city and open a second shop. Your biggest concern is replacing yourself as manager. You are thinking of getting a second person at the same time, to be your number one front counter person, and begin to train him/her to take over as manager of the second shop once its up and running. Youve placed your adverts. on SaskJobs.ca and you have a number of responses. Youve decided to use the behavioural description interviewing (BDI) technique. You are convinced that past performance predicts future behaviour.

Step 1: prepare an Advertisement using the information from your Job Description for either -replacing yourself, or for the number one front counter person.

Step 2: list three competencies required for the position you advertised. (Remember, competencies are broad-base attributes that the company values, i.e. the knowledge, skill, ability or other attribute required to successfully fulfill the job.)

Step 3: Make up two BDI questions for each of the competencies in the position you need to fill.
