Managing the Interview: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Hiring Staff (How to Do It Manuals for Librarians)

The interview is easily the most mysterious--and challenging--component of the recruiting and hiring process. Curzon, Library Journal's 1993 Librarian of the Year and author of the acclaimed Managing Change: A How-To-Do-It Manual, takes the reader through this complex process in logical steps, providing convenient checklists and reminders throughout. Topics covered include information needed to evaluate a candidate; questions or exercises that can be used to elicit that information; conducting the interview; the interview setting; who should be involved; and questions not to ask.
