You are a business owner who has to interview a candidate for the Academic Advisor position described in the following job description: http://jobdescriptions.unm.edu/detail.php?id=7189&posn=Academic+Advisor You know that it's best to use a structured interview form to guide the interview, so before conducting the interview you are going to develop situation and behavioral interview questions to determine if the applicant has the required TDRs and KSAs identified in the Academic Advisor's job description. 1. Identify at least five key job dimensions (KSAs) and then rate these in importance on a 5point scale. Enter this information on the interviewing worksheet found in attachment. (Note that some of the information you need on the application regarding job requirements would be found on the resume and/or the application. Therefore, you would not need to cover that information in the interview. For example, you do not need to ask the application about his/her bachelor's degree since the candidate would have provided that information on his/her resume or on the application. 2. Next, develop a behavioral and situational interview question for each of the key dimensions you've identified. (Refer to the example below.) Normally you would create either a situational question or a behavioral question for each key job dimension. However, I want you to practice writing both types of questions. Remember that behavioral questions focus on past behavior, situational questions focus on what an applicant would do if a situation arose. 3. Submit your document Please note: For this assignment, you will only complete the left three columns. You would complete the three columns on the right during and after the interview.
