Former Marijuana Smuggler
Having successfully completed a 10-year sentence, incident free, for importing 75 tons of marijuana into the US, I am now seeking a legal and legitimate means to support myself and my family.
Business Experience: Owned and operated a successful fishing business – multi-vessel, one airplane, one island and processing facility. Simultaneously owned and operated a fleet of tractor-trailer trucks conducting business in the western US. During this time I also co-owned and participated in the executive level management of 120 people worldwide in a successful pot smuggling venture with revenues in excess of $100 million annually. I took responsibility for my own actions, and received a 10-year sentence in the US while others walked free for their cooperation.
Attributes: I am an expert in all levels of security: I have extensive computer skills, am personable, outgoing, well-educated, reliable, clean and sober. I have spoken in schools to thousands of kids and parents over the past 10 years on “the consequences of choice,” and received public recognition from from the RCMP for community service. I am well-traveled and speak English, French and Spanish. References available from friends, family, and the U.S. District Attorney.

Do you have any special skills?
Yes, but they are better suited to a more intimate environment
May we contact your current employer?
If I had one, would I be here?
Do you have a car? I think the more appropriate question here would be, “Do you have a car that runs?”
Have you received any special awards?
I may already be a winner of the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes
Do you smoke? In the job no, on my breaks yes.
What would you like to be doing in 5 years?
Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blond super model who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.

Structured Interviews
© 2013 Cengage Learning
38
Interviews Differ in Three Ways
• Structure– Unstructured
– Structured
• Style– One-on-one
– Serial
– Return
– Panel
– Group
• Medium– Face-to-face
– Telephone
– Videoconference
– Written
© 2013 Cengage Learning
39
Optimal Employee Selection Systems
• Are Valid– Based on a job analysis (content validity)– Predict work-related behavior (criterion validity)
• Reduce the Chance of a Legal Challenge– Face valid– Don’t invade privacy– Don’t intentionally discriminate– Minimize adverse impact
• Are Cost Effective– Cost to purchase/create– Cost to administer– Cost to score
© 2013 Cengage Learning
40
Unstructured Interviews are Not Optimal
• They are:– Unreliable– Not valid– Legally problematic
• Because they:– Are not job related– Rely on intuition, “amateur psychology,” and talk show
methods– Suffer from common rating problems
• Primacy• Contrast• Similarity• Range restriction (e.g., leniency, strictness, central tendency)
© 2013 Cengage Learning
41
Common Unstructured Interview Questions
• Where do you see yourself five years from now?• What are your greatest strengths?• What are your greatest weaknesses?• What subject did you most enjoy in college?• Why should I hire you?• Why are you interested in this job?

Examples of Skill Determiners• A customer brings you his check book and says that he
cannot get it to balance. What is he probably doing wrong? How would you explain the error to him?
• A client calls and tells you that she has 10 computers in a 30’ by 100’ room and that she wants to network the computers. What questions would you ask her? What parts would you need to compile to complete the task?

Examples of Future-focused Questions• Suppose that you were scheduled to work on Saturday. A
friend calls on Thursday and says that you get to use a condo at the beach for free—but it has to be this weekend. What would you do?
• Imagine that you told a client that you would be there at 10:00 a.m. It is now 10:30 and there is no way you will be finished with your current job until 11:30. You are scheduled to meet another client for lunch at 12:00 and then be at another job at 1:15. How would you handle the situation?

61
Typical Answers Scoring

6. While trying to calm him down, I would call my supervisor
7. I would try to calm him down and explain to him that the computer is down
8. I would explain that I cannot help him because the computer is down, and ask him to come back later
9. I would tell him to get to the end of the line and wait his turn
I would ignore him until he went away
