In an effort to gauge interest in UVA s next certificate area, business intelligence, the NV Center would like to host lecture series this fall on selected hot topics. The first lecture will focus on developing strong skills as an interviewer or team leader as a means to protecting a company s investment in personnel. John Hess, an expert in the field of interviewing and interrogation, will show you how to gain insight into a job applicant or colleague s motivation, understand visual and verbal cues, identify subtle changes in voice patterns, and use techniques for building rapport. Mr. Hess has worked for 27 years with the FBI and as a corporate consultant for Janus, Inc. and the Department of Defense.
