Interviewing and selecting applicants can be an especially difficult part of the job selection process and, when done incorrectly, can be timeconsuming ultimately fruitless. However, developing insightful and useful job interview questions and scoring protocols can make a huge difference in identifying promising candidates as well as adding much-needed structure to expedite the process. Done correctly, interviews provide a valuable, time-effective system to find the best possible student-employees for your position.  \nThis guide seeks to assist you in optimizing your interviewing efforts by creating a framework you can utilize in developing interview & assessment tools. This is accomplished via the steps outlined in this diagram.  \n\n| Job Description\u003Cbr>Extract KSAO's from job description | | Quest ion Type\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Determine the best question format for each job characteristic | | | Scor ing Scale\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Organize your questions and create anappopriate scoring scale |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nIn the document below, you will find a helpful guide on how to create the most useful questions possible as well as some best practices to help the process run smoother. If you have yet to create your job description, you may find it useful to review the “WS Supervisor JobX Training”, located on the same webpage as this resource, for help in writing the best possible job description. Creating a thorough, thoughtful job description will make the following process much easier.  \nContents  \nKSAO’s and Characteristics ..................................................................................................................................................... 2  \nBuilding Questions .................................................................................................................................................................. 3  \nWriting Questions ................................................................................................................................................................... 5  \nRefining Question Characteristics ........................................................................................................................................... 7  \nOrganizing the Interview Flow ................................................................................................................................................ 8  \nScoring..................................................................................................................................................................................... 9  \nBest Practices ........................................................................................................................................................................ 14  \nKSAO’s and Characteristics  \nThe best place to start when developing Job Interview Questions is with a well-written job description. If you took the time to think through your job description before posting, you already have a thorough list of the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other factors (KSAO’s) a successful candidate will need to possess. This job description can then be converted into a list of characteristics on which you will base your interview questions.  \nAs an example, let’s say that your job description has the following KSAO’s:  \n• Knowledge  \no Student must have a basic understanding of laboratory equipment or learn this information by working with other laboratory members.  \n• Skills  \no Excellent organizational skills  \no Basic skills with ProMed research tool and Microsoft Excel or willingness to learn  \n• Abilities  \no Student must be able to stand at a workbench and lab sink for extended periods of time  \n• Other  \no Must be willing to wear proper safety equipment at all times  \no Student must have a Laboratory Safety cert","cbCaigXkUJBaxSHZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigXkUJBaxSHZ","pdf",264626,"English","# KSAO’s and Characteristics\n# Building Questions\n## Common and Character Questions\n## Experience Questions\n## Predictive Questions\n## Follow-Up Questions\n# Writing Questions\n# Refining Question Characteristics\n# Organizing the Interview Flow\n# Scoring\n# Best Practices","[{\"question\":\"How does the guide recommend converting a job description into interview criteria?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends extracting KSAO’s from the job description and translating them into a list of characteristics that interview questions will be based on.\"},{\"question\":\"What four types of interview questions does the guide use?\",\"answer\":\"The guide groups questions into four types: Common \\u0026 Character Questions, Experience Questions, Predictive Questions, and Follow-Up Questions.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is scoring and interview flow organization emphasized in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"It stresses that organizing the interview flow and creating appropriate scoring scales adds structure, improves consistency, and makes the process faster and more effective at identifying strong candidates.\"}]","Interview Question & Scoring Development Guide | PDF"]
