Dream Job: Travel Agent

For this week's assignment, we will be covering the structured interview. You can find information about KSAO's starting on page 49 through 56, and structured interview questions starting on page 139 of your textbook. Your assignment should be in APA format and include the following:

Part 1:

Use a job description from your dream job or one for your current job to create 10 essential KSAO’s for a structured interview. (Please refer to Step 4: Determining Essential KSAO's on the Conducting a Job Analysis section that begins on page 49 of your textbook. Nothing should be taken word for word, KSAO's must be created based on the job description) 

Part 2:

Now that you have your list of essential KSAs and OEs, the next step is to write questions that use those tapped KSAs and OEs. Page 139 of your textbook discusses the different types of questions used in a structured interview. Using this as a guide, write two examples of each type of interview question, making sure you cover all of the essential KSAO’s you listed in part 1.

The following are the question types you must cover:

· Clarifiers

· Disqualifiers

· Skill level determiner

· Future focused (situational)

· Past focused (behavioral)

· Organization fit

· To SUBMIT: Please complete your assignment in a Word document.
