Guides & Workbooks

The Skills Manuals and National Occupational Standards, as well as the functional competencies within the Skills Library, provide an excellent summary of topics for conducting job interviews. For example, each Skills Manual and NOS provides employers with three important categories of interview questions: Skills, Knowledge and Attitudes.

Skills are identified as the most critical part of the job as they represent the duties the individual will be performing. Knowledge determines what policies and processes the individual knows and does not know and can guide training. Attitudes determines if the individual is professional, a team player, and will be a good addition to the company.

The Food Skills Library offers sample interview guides for easy download.
The major categories and sub-skills within the Skills Library also provide the perfect checklist for new hires. This information in conjunction with the regular training cycle, will make certain a new recruit is getting exposure to all of the areas that will be integral to effectively performing the job.
It is important to emphasize areas of the job where the bulk of the work takes place. Ensure more time is given when greater detail is necessary.
And for performance evaluations, FPSC has created fillable and downloadable Performance Evaluation checklists for the 10 major categories in the industry.
