I am seeking task inventory lists or competency lists that reflect the
work performed
and/or competencies needed in jobs obtained by business school
graduates.
I would also like to have correspondence with anyone who uses task or
competency
surveys as applicant screening tools. I am interested in knowing your
opinions of such
instruments, problems that you have experienced in using such
instruments, the
methods you have used to score such instruments, and whether you can
send me
samples of such instruments.
I would also like to have correspondence with anyone with experience in
using bogus
tasks or bogus competencies in such applicant screening tools with the
intention of
finding individuals who are exaggerating their credentials. An example
of a bogus
task would be � I have worked with audio-controlled photocopy machines.�
An
example of a bogus competency is � I am skilled in the area of Frank
Zappa
multivariate statistics.�
Thank you for considering this request. This note is sent to 4 list
servers. I extend my
apologies to those who receive multiple copies.
