什么样的候选人被录用？Who Really Gets Hired

Who Really Gets Hired？

It's an old observation, but it's well worth repeating as you go about job hunting: The person who gets the job is not necessarily the best qualified candidate. It's the person who knows how to best nail the interview! For in the end, employers want to hire individuals they feel will be a good "fit" for the job and the organization. They hire people they like both personally and professionally.

The person who wins the job knows how to best present himself or herself both verbally and nonverbally in critical face-to-face interview settings. Whether dealing with multiple interviewers or different types of interviews, he or she has acquired a set of attractive behaviors centering on positive answers to questions that serve as important indicators of future performance. These are behaviors you can learn and practice with success.
