Conducting a job interview is just as nerve wracking as being interviewed, especially when you are new to management. This course teaches you how to prepare properly, ask the right questions, avoid illegal or inappropriate ones, and create a comfortable environment that actually reveals the real candidate. You will learn to take effective notes, assess cultural fit, and represent your company well while minimizing legal risks. No more awkward silences or hiring mistakes from poor interviewing technique.

This Course Offers

• A step by step preparation framework for conducting interviews, including homework before the candidate arrives.
• The top five questions to ask every candidate plus a clear list of what not to ask to avoid legal trouble.
• Techniques for making applicants comfortable in the first two minutes so they open up instead of clamming up.
• Note taking strategies that capture meaningful insights without distracting from the conversation.

Why We Love This Course

1. It covers the manager's side of the table, which most courses ignore. Everyone teaches how to be interviewed. Almost no one teaches how to interview others effectively.
2. The instructor emphasizes legal protection. You learn what questions can get your company sued, which is critical for managers and HR professionals.
3. Over 21,000 students have enrolled, and reviews highlight how the course works for both new and experienced interviewers. One student noted applying these skills not just at work but in personal interactions.
4. The course includes a private Facebook group for feedback and practice, plus an enhanced guarantee beyond Udemy's standard refund policy.
