ABSTRACT: Significant needs and additional pressures have
been imposed on those persons involved in faculty selection
activities on college campuses today. The combination of
greater numbers of highly qualified candidates and
restricted interview budgets suggests the need for more
efficient and less costly methods of employment screening.
In addition, further exacerbation of an already difficult
situation is developing from the attempts of institutions
of
higher education to comply with the Affirmative Action
Guidelines set forth by the federal government. The
videotape technique presented in this document was assessed
by the participants in this study to be an extremely
valuable tool in the faculty screening preemployment
process. In addition, the videotape provided the feedback
information necessary to counsel the interviewee with
respect to his relative interview strengths and weaknesses.
Most importantly, this information is based on the
comparison of the interviewee's self-perception to the
recorded perceptions of this subject by the other raters.
This procedure affords the interviewee the opportunity to
see himself as others do. Furthermore, the prospective
faculty member may gain valuable information from this
counseling model pertaining to the clarity and congruence
of
the message he projects to others, and the degree of
receptivity he may expect to enjoy at 2-year vs 4-year
institutions in various geographic locations. (Author/PG)
