Learn Interview Best Practices from Uco Wiersma at the Westport Library

Dr. Uco Wiersma discusses his book, Interview Charisma: Evidence-based Interview Strategies to Help You Win the Job You Deserve, on Tuesday, September 16, at 6:30 pm in the Westport Library's McManus Room. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the program, which is free and open to the public.

Wiersma, author and organizational psychologist, will cover practical interview techniques that work and those that don't. He contends that the best strategies are evidence-based, supported by research, but that most of the research is designed to help employers rather than prospective employees.

Dr. Wiersma received his psychology degree from the University of Connecticut and his Ph.D. in industrial/organizational psychology from New York University. He developed human resource management policies, including how managers should interview job candidates, for the New York Stock Exchange. He spent another 20 years teaching human resource management topics in Holland, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai. He is currently a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Tongji University in Shanghai, China.
