Through its Division of Continuing Education, Corporate and Public Sector Training, Bergen Community College and the Bergen County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) will present a free seminar titled "Effective Interviews: Take the Guesswork out of Hiring" on Friday, March 14, 2008 from 8:30 to noon in the Technology Education Center, Room 128 (The Moses Family Meeting and Training Center) at Bergen Community College, 400 Paramus Road, Paramus. The event is free and open to the public.

You're proud of yourself: You've hired a perfect new employee for your office. During his interview, he was well-prepped, well-groomed and well ... perfect! But, now, three months later, he's always late, never finishes his tasks and barks at anyone who speaks with him. What did you miss during the interview? At this workshop led by Elaine Padva, you will learn how to conduct an interview that will result in hiring an ideal employee. You will not only learn the "behavioral interviewing" technique and how to identify the skills and characteristics that you want in an employee - but how to ask the right questions as well.

This is the twelfth workshop in a free seminar series sponsored by the College and the WIB. For more information, please contact Andrea Schaffel at 201-343-8830, x4017, or go to http://www.bergenwib.org to register for the seminars online.
