EVALUATION COMMENTS

“I think of HR and how much work they do and what goes into interviewing candidates as this is their full-time job. Does the interviewer have the skills to conduct a professional, fair interview? So important to be trained and educated. I loved all the information in the training. It was such an eye opener for me. Highlighting that everyone is not the same and recognizing it. Ways in which I can ask questions without coming off as judging.” – Cambridge Health Alliance employee
