 When hiring diverse candidates, it's worth the extra effort to understand where they are coming from. After all, you want someone that will be best for the job - not someone that answers questions the way you expect them to. Mannerisms can have significant meanings for different groups of people. Understanding them can help get to the real truth while interviewing candidates. Lila Kelly has developed some great videos on situations job seekers have experienced during interviewing. She also has some books on the subject. Visit DiversityMinnesota.com to check out the videos and for a link to Lila's Web site. Also, scroll down to check out an interesting article we found on job intervewing for job seekers.
Warmest Regards,

Interview Bias: Overcoming the Silent Forces Working Against You
Your job interview is tomorrow. You know your appearance will matter, so you polish your shoes and brush your hair. You realize your interviewer will have your resume in hand, so you've come prepared to explain every minute detail included on it. You've even done practice interviews and prepared your responses to all the trick questions. Are you ready? Not yet.
