Develop an interview plan: at a minimum, include the sequence of interview events. Remember an interview has a ‘beginning’, ’middle’ and ‘end/closure’. What will you say and do at each phase of the interview? Develop a set of six (6) competencies (hint: there are 3 levels; and you should have at least one for each); a Behaviour Descriptive Interview (BDI) style question for each competency (with sample probes and elaborations for each question); and a Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) scoring/rating sheet for each question. 

• ♣         After completing the above, conduct a face-to-face interview using the interview questions developed (do this as a role play with a friend or co-worker). Record/transcribe the applicant’s responses to the interview questions, and rate each of them using the appropriate BARS set. 
• ♣         Prepare at a minimum a one-page double spaced report covering the Hiring Decision: What decision did you make based on the interview and why? Make sure you explain the reasons for your decision, and remember to be consistent in your selection criteria and methods.
