The best way to learn is by doing. Through a series of scenarios and interactive exercises, users learn practical skills for conducting effective and lawful interviews and for properly documenting their interviews and hiring decisions. Two of the interactive exercises from the course are described below:

Interview Critique
- One of your colleagues, Kelsey, recently interviewed an applicant for an open administrative assistant position. You watch the interview and decide if any of Kelsey’s questions or comments was potentially unlawful, or lawful but poorly phrased. For example, a few of Kelsey’s questions are listed below. Can you identify which ones are inappropriate and why?
- Can I ask you how to pronounce your last name?
- Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself?
- My sister went to Lexington High School also. What year did you graduate?
- Are you a US Citizen?
- Would you describe yourself as an organized person?
- Have you ever been arrested or convicted?
- Will your spouse be able to look after your children when you travel?
- Have you ever used drugs?
- How much are you making at your current job?

Note taking
- Well-taken interview notes allow you to later compare the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. They can also help your decision to not hire a particular applicant if you are ever sued. However, inappropriate, or poorly written notes can be used against your organization in a subsequent lawsuit. In this section, you are asked to critique Kelsey’s interview notes.

Each course:

Can be accessed anywhere, anytime on a computer, tablet, or smartphone
