Scenarios for WebMaster Interviews

[Eve Ruff]

At the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, we are in the
process of recruiting a Managing Editor for our Center-Wide Information
Network (as many of you may have seen in our recent position posting).

While a quasi- "webmaster", in a technical sense, the successful candidate
will have to juggle a number of not necessarily compatible roles: public
relations, outreach, education for diverse audiences.  He/she will be
called upon to present in educational settings such as a training
laboratory, an auditorium, or in small group meetings.

For these reasons, we'd like our interview process to incorporate a
"presentation" of sorts - to demonstrate the candidates abilities to handle
themselves in front of an audience, to clearly explain a concept or address
an issue, to react to scenarios, and to answer questions.

***If any of you have experience with a process similar to this, I'm
looking for a few suggested topics or formats for this "presentation"
component.*** Please send your ideas directly to me and I would be glad to
summarize for the list.  Any other advice on this component of our
interview process is welcome.
