Hiring Staffing

The following writing will reflect and describe the key concepts and topics of the course that I feel has made me a stronger candidate to enter the business world and discuss how this course has affected me in my professional development as a student and as a person as well as encouraging me on my academic path.
During the last ten weeks, I have had the opportunity to learn a variety of concepts and topics that will make me a stronger candidate to enter the business world. The most important topics and concepts that I have found will make me stronger is active listening, interviewing processes and what questions to ask and not to ask. Active listening will assist me in the future to ensure the staff feels as though they are important to the company and that their contributions are important to the company’s success. Active listening can also help in the interview process, in order to ensure that the applicant is aware that all of the attention is on them and that the interviewer feels that the applicant’s words are important.
The interviewing processes were an eye opener for me, as I have conducted interviews on many occasions and never truly had a process. My process involved asking questions based on whether or not the applicant felt that they were capable of fulfilling the job requirements. I now have learned that by being prepared with a job description, a list of competency questions and knowing what questions lead to conversation about the past experiences of the interviewee that can relate to the current position that is looking to be filled.
Learning about the questions that are and are not appropriate to ask during an interview are important for avoiding offending potential new employees, putting the company at risk of being put through a lawsuit for discrimination and to ensure a positive reputation for the company.
All of these details will ensure that I am acting morally and ethically; which will help me succeed in the business world and
