Behavioral Event Interviewing Program
8:00 AM-3:00 PM (Chamber)
 Employees who deal with customers need customer service skills. Did you ever notice that some people just have the “right stuff” for dealing with customers? This workshop will explore competencies that predict success in Customer Service.

Interviewing for competencies focuses on the big distinction between an individual’s ideas about what it takes to be successful on the job and what that person actually does that causes success. Understanding this difference, combined with practice in proven techniques for uncovering the thoughts and behaviors that relate to success will provide hiring managers with an extremely valuable interviewing tool.

Participants will:
1. understand the basic components of a BEI
2. apply BEI concepts to general interviewing
3. take away the tools they need to interview for customer service competencies
$249.00 per person
(workshop materials and lunch included)
10% discount given to 2+ attendees from any one organization
