Tri-state manufacturing group to meet in Alexandria

Talk about it

The November 3 breakfast meeting of the Tri-State Manufacturers’ Association in Alexandria will feature a presentation from Bruce Miles of Big River Group on “An Improved System for Important Decisions: Way Better Employee Selection and Interviewing Methods.”

During the presentation participants will be guided through a clear and consistent set of steps that reduces search time, allows for more reliable ranking and selection of candidates, uses more accurate interviewing techniques, and promotes a better match between the organization’s needs and the eventual finalist.

The meeting and presentation are scheduled from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at Holiday Inn in Alexandria.

Following the breakfast meeting, participants are invited to tour Douglas Alexandria Finishing at 9:15 a.m. A subsidiary of Douglas Machine, Douglas Finishing specializes in fast, affordable metal finishing solutions, including anodizing, rack and barrel zinc, electro-less nickel and powder coating.
