Behavioural programmes in job-interview skills training are described and evaluated. Through the employment of a social skills package consisting of instructions, modelling, rehearsal, feedback and reinforcement, clients have been trained in a variety of responses considered important for a successful job-interview. Such responses have included nonverbal behaviours such as eye contact, voice tone, voice volume and body posture, and verbal behaviours such as expressing interest and enthusiasm, giving positive information, and asking job-relevant questions. Job-interview programmes are discussed according to whether they have employed group comparison designs or multiple baseline designs. The problems associated with assessing generalization of treatment gains to the real-life situation are discussed. Another major problem discussed concerns the content and predictive validities of role play tests.
