WHAT YOUR BOSS WANTS

What do the people who do the hiring want from job candidates during interviews, and what do managers expect from new employees during initial probation periods? Representatives from four career areas—hospitality, manufacturing, health care, and business administration—explain the factors they consider when deciding who makes the cut. In one program, hiring managers describe their interview process, characteristics they look for in a candidate, and any checks and testing they might require. In another, managers delineate their policies on training new hires, expectations for new employees, and what standards they want upheld. In the third, experts reveal the tactics they use when employees perform poorly or exceed targets. Grades 10 and up. Closed captioned. Color. Total time: 76 minutes. Films Media Group. ©2013.
