In your work as a Curriculum Developer, what steps do you take in a formal decision making process? Why are these steps important?
When faced with a tough decision on who to hire as their next Curriculum Developer, one key skill that your interviewer will be looking for in the ideal candidate is the ability to make calculated decisions. If asked this question during your interview, be prepared to talk about the importance of walking through the proper steps of your decision-making process. Talk about how you gather information and identify alternative solutions, and how you weigh and select the best course of action.
"When I am faced with a tough decision, I take the time to work through all of the proper decision-making steps. First, I make sure that I understand the issue by gathering all of the necessary information possible on the issue. Sometimes, this can involve gathering data and talking to others. Once I am confident that I have all relevant information, I think about several solutions to the problem and then compare those options with a focus on the end goal. From there, I can make a sound decision moving forward at that time."
