For this assignment, students will develop an interview protocol and score key-rubric, conduct a mock interview, and access the process for improvement as well as ADA & EEO compliance. This assignment assesses learning outcomes 2 and 9, and it reinforces learning outcomes 1, 7, and 11.
You are the HR Coordinator for XYZ company, and you have been asked by the HR manager to create an interview protocol and score key to be used by multiple interviewers in assessing job candidates. The three items the HR manager would like assessed in the interview protocol for all job applicants includes the following:
organizational fit as being accountable to others for our actions and the impact these actions have on others,
work group fit as being collaborative and actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with and assist teammates, and
job fit as being knowledgeable of changes in the profession.
Step 1. The HR Manager would like for you to create an interview protocol and score key for each of the three items using the format located in the Canvas Course Resources. Ensure that the interview questions conform to the following requirements (1) is an open-ended question, (2) is not a leading question, and (3) is not a negative question. Develop a score key for each question with three to four levels and describe the response at each level.
Step 2. Test the interview protocol and score key in a mock interview with a test subject. The test subject can be with a family member, another student, or colleague. Record the interview.
Step 3. After completing the mock interview, consider the answers provided by the test subject and how the interview protocol and score key could be improved.
Step 3A. Interview protocol – Did the test subject understand the question and the information you were seeking? Did the test subject need clarification to answer the question? Was the answer provided by the test subject the information you were seeking? How can the questions be improved to obtain the desired answer?
Step 3B. Score key – was the level of response clearly apparent in the descriiption of the response criteria? Does the descriiption of the criteria need to be more specific or less specific? Does the score key need another level to accurately assess the range of potential responses? Could another interviewer use the score key and obtain similar scored outcomes?
In an MS Word document, provide a copy of the interview protocol from step 1, the name and your relationship to the test subject as well as a recording of the interview from step 2, a reflection of how to improve the interview protocol and score key by responding to the questions posed in step 3 A and B.
