[Histonet] Cutting on an interview

[gayle callis]

I find the wording "cutting on an interview" interesting.   It could mean
cutting out e.g. leaving and not doing the interview.  Cutting =
sectioning?! 

Sorry if these appear to be a "cutting"  remarks.

CC: 

We also have cytotech applicants look at some slides as part of an
interview. These are cases which have been signed out already (patient
information is protected), the applicant is given a quiet room with a scope,
and records  their diagnosis.
Histology and Cytology are not especially large fields, and if you're
interviewing someone who works fairly local, chances are that you've met
them, or know someone who knows them. But with the applicant who has been
out of the field for a while, or has relocated, it is helpful to have as
much information as possible.
Unless your job requirements are very specific, and say how many
blocks/slides should be produced in a certain period of time, it will be
difficult to terminate the mediocre tech, but who interviewed exceptionally
well. This is also a good time to check for accuracy in labeling. Give them
blocks with six- digit, non-sequential  numbers, and see how they do.

 A comment on why we have techs cut on an interview-
 
 
How do you pick the BEST fit in the 60 minute interview?  The more
information you gather, the more likely you'll hire the best fit.  Most of
human communication is non-verbal.  Watching a potential new hire gives you
SO MUCH non-verbal information in addition to validating that they know
their way around a microtome.
 
The cost of mis-hiring is ASTRONOMICAL.  40% of companies polled say a bad
hire costs over $25000.  One in four polled estimated the cost closer to
$50000.  Would you really want your Aunt Minnie's GI biopsy cut by someone
who COULDN'T cut a few blocks under a little new-interview pressure?
 
An authoritative article on just this kind of interview can be read at
www.fullstaff.org (A Histology Blog).
 
It's from Career Builders and gives a lot of impirical data to the value of
gathering the most information before making that hiring decision...we'd
love some feedback on the post.
