Putting Psychology to Work in Asia PsyAsia International Telephone& ContactDetails Course and content design strictly @ PsyAsia International Pte. Ltd. Day 2 (In-housecourses only) Assessmentand Certification All delegates who actively participate throughout the entire Behavior-based Interviewing Course will receive a Certificate of Attendance signed by the Psychologist Facilitator. For an additional fee, delegates may choose to be assessed for a Certificate of Competence. This will require additional work outside of the course, wherein delegates will design their own Behavior-based Interview without extensive help from others and then run a full-length interview on one person who they do not know very well. The interview should be recorded on a Camcorder or Webcam and uploaded to a secure cloud server for access by the assessor. Pre-interview preparation and all interview notes should also be uploaded. All assessment material is to be submitted within 1 month after the course. Feedback will be provided in a 15-20 minute Skype session with the psychologist assessor and the Certificate of Competence will be issued for work that meets the required standard. This is an excellent and economical way to have a Psychologist check your work without paying a high Consulting Fee!! Most of our in-house clients opt for our 2-day course in order to delve deeper into the topic and devote more time to practice interview sessions and expert feedback from the psychologist facilitator. On 2-day courses, we still cover most of the knowledge component on day 1, whilst on day 2, we run full behavior-based interviews in small groups. These sessions are recorded and then the group reconvenes to watch highlights of these recorded sessions and provide sensitive feedback to each other and to receive feedback from the facilitator. Day 2 culminates in a panel interview which showcases each participant’s new skills and acts as an exercise in calibration of scoring and assessment of inter-rater reliability. This is often the highlight of the course and is very motivational because participants themselves are able to see how far they have come since the very first ice- breaker interview of day 1.

CourseObjectives BY THE ENDOF THE BEHAVIOR-BASEDINTERVIEWINGCOURSE,DELEGATESSHOULD: *It is not expected that the delegatewill be fully competentimmediately following the course as this willtake some practice. However, our style of experiential training does give delegates a head start in developing competence in the subjectmatter. CLIENT SPECIFICOBJECTIVESFOR THE BEHAVIOR-BASEDINTERVIEWINGCOURSE Know what is wrong with traditional, unstructured interviews. Understand why behavior-based interviews are two to five times more accurate than traditional interviews. Know how to create competency requirements for any given position that they intend to interview for. Be able to create behavior-based interview questions from competency frameworks. Be able to enhance professional interviewing skills with effective communication strategies and behavioral interview techniques. Be able to create and identify positive and negative indicators of various competencies, as well as potential overplayed strengths. Be able to develop and use a reliable, valid and defensible rating/scoring and evaluation process for interviews. Be able to run an entire behavior-based interview professionally and with developing* competence from start to finish. The above objectives can be edited for in-house training courses based on client needs. For example, for a client who already has a well-developed competency framework, we may not train participants how to analyze the job for competencies; we may instead spend more time helping participants understand the organization’s competencies and running practice interviews based on these.
