Directions:
In a document of 1,000-1,250 words, use the factors defined by Huffcutt and Arthur (1994A total of 10 questions stated
exactly as they will be asked in the interview.
1. A rationale for the inclusion of each question that explains why it will enhance the reliability and validity of the
selection process. (Benchmarks C 4.4: Evaluate theories and methods for selecting, training, appraising,
organizing, and supervising both employees and managers.)
2. A discussion of how these interview questions will influence the subsequent training, supervising, and
appraising of staff. (Benchmarks C 4.4: Evaluate theories and methods for selecting, training, appraising,
organizing, and supervising both employees and managers.)
Table 1. Elements of structure in employment interviewing
1. Basing questions on an analysis of the target job (i.e., tying questions to
competencies required by the job)
2. Asking the same questions of each candidate
3. Asking specific types of questions (i.e., asking about specific past job
behaviors or what one would do in hypothetical job-related situations)
4. Using detailed, behaviorally anchored rating scales (i.e., rating scales with
behavioral examples to illustrate points along the scale)
5. Limiting the use of follow-up questions by the interviewer
6. Systematically combining ratings of questions to derive an overall score
7. Providing comprehensive training for interviewers
