A Human Services Coalition workshop co-sponsored by the Tompkins County Public Library, for persons with any responsibility to hire in any kind of organization.

At some point in their careers, supervisors will be responsible for conducting interviews and hiring new employees. Most supervisors know what questions they are not permitted to ask under the law, but few know how to structure an interview process and ask questions to assess which candidates are best suited for the position and the organization. Interview questions tend only to reveal how well a person interviews, not how well they will do on the job.

In this workshop participants will be introduced to a strategy for identifying key work habits, developing appropriately phrased questions, and probing for details that will aid in the hiring decisions. The interview technique emphasized in this workshop will focus on questions that require details about past behaviors that reflect the values, skills and work habits essential for the job. Participants will have an opportunity to practice interviewing skills and to evaluate the effectiveness of properly phrased questions.

Nadia Rubaii, Ph.D., is associate professor and chair of the Department of Public Administration at Binghamton University. She has more than 20 years of experience teaching graduate courses and professional workshops on all aspects of human resource management. She has worked with leaders of local government and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and abroad to improve their hiring processes and decisions, overhaul their performance appraisal processes, increase communication skills among supervisors, ensure compliance with laws governing employment relations, and to more effectively manage increasing diversity within the workplace and in the community.

Nadia has given plenary presentations at numerous national and international conferences. She is active in the International City/County Management Association, having made presentations and provided training at several of their annual conferences, and having authored articles for their publications and a major white paper for their congressional lobbying efforts. Nadia grew up in the Cortland-Ithaca area, attended school at what was then SUNY-Binghamton, and then worked for more than 15 years in southern New Mexico. She returned to upstate New York in 2004 to be closer to family members, several of whom still reside in Ithaca.
