A one-day seminar on how
to hire the right employee will
be offered at Clackamas Com
munity College on Saturday,
Jan. 26.
Portland lecturer and
employment consultant Carole
Webb says that businesses
needlessly sacrifice millions of
dollars by hiring, training and
then losing the wrong
employees. “When every pen
ny counts in the operation of a
business, saving time and
money by -hiring the right
employee the first time around
is sound- business advice,”
Webb said.
Participants who attend the
seminar will learn how to con
duct a thorough interview,
check references and how to
negotiate starting salaries.
The workship will begin at 9
a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m.
The cost is $20.
Webb said that a small
business doesn’t need to feel
inferior to a large company
Meetings skills taught
A workshop to help people
in business or organizations
lead productive meetings will
be held Jan. 25 at Clackamas
Community College.
“Leading Exceptional Meet-
tings” is designed to help peo
ple improve their skills in mak
ing meetings work by showing
how meetings can be made
more productive and by get
ting involvement from all who
attend the meeting.
The Friday workshop is be
ing sponsored by the college’s
Employeê and ' Management
Development Department and
will be led by a team of the col
lege’s management specialists.
The one-day seminar begins
at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at
3:30 p.m. The cost is $45 and
does not include lunch.

because it cannot compete in
the salary area, because a
small business can offer flexi
ble work hours, promotions
and the option of buying into
a company as incentives to at
tract top talent. She said that a
strategy for hiring someone
needs to be set up and follow
ed, regardless of the size of the
business.
A common mistake that an
employer makes is to decide
on whether to hire a person in
the first five minutes of an in
terview. “If the interviewer
will hold what I call a ‘track
record’ interview, both parties
involved will feel more at ease,
and the employer will have an
objective basis on which to
judge the z applicant,” Webb
said.
The track record interview
includes a form on which the
major job functions are listed.
The interviewer describes the
job element and then asks how
the applicant feels he or she
fits into that element. Aside
from giving the employer a
good idea of the prospect’s
talents, the form can be used
later on to evaluate an
employee’s progress in the
job.
