[Michlib-l] Circulation Job - Skill Assessment

[Andrea Ingmire]

I had a fair amount of requests for the pre-employment skill test.  We used
the attached document as a computer skill assessment in our last round of
interviews.  There are a few tweaks I might consider for the questions next
time.the question about accessing the online account was missed by all who
took it.  But the details in the word document requirements were very
telling as to whether the applicant could follow directions.  We allowed 20
minutes for this test.  We also did a simple filing test using old card
catalog cards, and allowed 30 minutes for that part.  This was effective for
our needs.  Feel free to use whatever you find helpful!

Subject: Circulation Job - Skill Assessment

 

Anyone use a skill assessment when hiring circulation staff?  I'd love to
find a simple computer/technology aptitude test which could be included in
the job interview process.  

Also, considering using Dewey Easy, unless there is another dewey specific
training/testing software or website that can be recommended.

Thanks!!
