Introduction

First things first - WELCOME !

We are extremely pleased that you will be joining the team for interviewing.

We can't wait to "meet" you when we do our "live" training over the Internet!

THE TRAINING GUIDE AND EXERCISE BOOKLET

Before we begin our 'live' training together, we are sending you our Training Guide and Exercise Booklet in hardcopy format and they are available on the Web at:
http://chrr.ohio-state.edu/surveys/noaa/noaa.html

These materials form an independent instruction component consisting of 6 modules that lead you through your training and guide you through the entire interview process. We designed it to provide an easy-to-follow format that allows you to complete the training at your own pace. After each section, take the short quiz. To check your answers use the answer sheet at the end of your Exercise Booklet, or if you are working on-line, at the end of each module.

Complete each module in sequence. Do not skip or rearrange the order of the modules as the guide has been designed to take you through the steps of completing a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration survey case. Also, be sure to complete all the exercises for each module and have an understanding of it before moving on to the next. If questions arise while you are conducting the independent training, you may contact your trainer for assistance.

Good luck and welcome!
