Question One
Setting of the interview will be the very first phase of the hiring process (Stavrou-Costea, 2005). It will be mainly be conducted by the management/administration. It will include the venue for the interviewing process, the seating arrangements and those who will be involved in the process.
Step Two: Structuring the Interview
The next phase involves outlining how the interviewing process will be conducted (Stavrou-Costea, 2005). This will be done by the hiring officer. He/she will determine the roles of the interviewers and why they have been picked to conduct the interview.
Step Three: Questioning/ Interviewing
This phase involves the process of interviewing where all the interviewers will be aware of the questions that they are allowed and not allowed to ask (Stavrou-Costea, 2005). This process will involve all the individuals chosen to conduct the interviewing process. It will also include a chance for the applicants to ask questions
Step Four: Choosing the Candidate
After the interview, the panel will now choose the best candidates for the job (Stavrou-Costea, 2005). The hiring officer and the panel interviewing the applicants will conduct a comprehensive evaluation for the candidates and choose the best candidate for the positions.
Question Two
The employment process will not be the same for the three job types. Remarkably, the three job types require different skills and levels of competence that are relatively incomparable. Hence, the difference will majorly be manifested in the kind of questions the applicants will be asked, the level of skills, their qualifications for the job and what the job entails (Stavrou-Costea, 2005).
