Question: 1: Looking for someone who gets their work done right, done fast and pushes harder because they want and needto succeed? Hire a single parent. They can tackle anything you throw at them. Why? Single parents are survivors. They don't have the comfort or safety of a second income. They get right to the point, and if something needs to be said, they say it. If something needs to be done, they do it. They don't have the time for politics, or drama, or mistakes. Single parents are incredible employees, to keep them, and to get the best out of them, I've had to create a work environment that gives them what they need to be successful. Yeah, they might need to take off at 2 pm to pick their kid up from school or go to a doctor's appointment. This might piss some employers off, but it's business as usual here. Single parents need flexibility. The payoff is that when you invest in employees and give them that kind of flexibility they return that investment with their loyalty, hard work, and dedication.

2: Temporary work or temporary employment refers to an employment situation where the working arrangement is limited to a certain period of time based on the needs of the employing organization. Temporary workers are normally staffed through temp agencies. An individual typically hired to help a business meet increased short term demand for its product or services that do not have the status of permanent staff is a temp. A temporary work agency, temp agency or temporary staffing firm finds and retains workers. Other companies, in need of short-term workers, contract with the temporary work agency to send temporary workers, or temps, on assignments to work at the other companies.

3: Talent management is a business strategy that organizations hope will enable them to retain their top talented employees. Just like employee involvement or employee recognition, it is the stated business strategy that will ensure the attraction of top talent in competition with other employers. Talent management does give managers a significant role and responsibility in the recruitment process and in the ongoing development of and retention of superior employees. In some organizations, only top potential employees are included in the talent management system. In other companies, every employee is included in the process.

4: Interviews have been used by almost all employers in the process of hiring. Earlier the selective interviews were not as reliable and valid as they are today. Today they are seen as reliable and valid, as well the deciding factor of hiring. However in the end it all depends on how the interview is administered. An interview is a conversation where questions are asked and answers are given. In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation with one person acting in the role of the interviewer and the other in the role of the interviewee. The interviewer asks questions, the interviewee responds, with participants taking turns talking. There are many different types of interviews such as: situational interviews, structured interviews, and individual interviews. The structured situational interview which is when the candidate and the interviewer are one on one happen to be the most useful for predicting job performance.
