On the 3rd March, AKRI presented a business seminar intended to help people to improve their interviewing skills and technique but particularly to develop their knowledge. The seminar was intended to present ideas, encourage thought and elicit feedback from the delegates attending.
Feedback from this seminar is available in summarised form.
This web resource is being made available so that others can experience many of the ideas and approaches developed for the seminar. The resource is not intended to be a comprehensive course on how to interview, it is intended to help people that do interview, to become better. This section of the material is based on the seminar presentation structure and will provide the web user with a route through the material. We hope that you get some benefit from its use. However, be critical and think about what is being presented. Please don’t just accept what we say, we could be wrong (it has been known). There is a central document available that supports this material. The whole document is available and links to parts of it will be used within this guide. Please feel free to use the material for your own personal, educational or business needs. Proper acknowledgement of the source is all that we ask (unless your organisation would like to become a supporting {paying} member of the AKRI that is.)
The objective of this web resource is to make materials and ideas developed for a pilot seminar concerning interviewing, freely available to anyone that may benefit from it.
This material is about helping people to improve their interviewing capability. A brief discussion on what is meant by improving is included.
The material is presented in recognition that people may have their own experience, their own style and certainly their own opinions. The additional material presented here may help you to improve your style and opinion and we hope that it will provide you with useful information to develop your knowledge.
The emphasis within this resource is one of providing information rather than providing instruction. The resource is intended to help not to dictate.
The main theme with this approach is that it is taken from a knowledge based perspective. The whole thing started with the question: What knowledge is needed in order to know how to interview people effectively?
This question was studied with the Knowledge Structure Map (KSM) approach, leading directly to the creation of several resources that are used within this material. More information about the KSM can be found in the papers section of the AKRI web site. The backbone of the material for this knowledge based approach is the Knowledge Structure map itself.
