Selecting
Applicants
Selecting an
applicant for a job is like buying a vehicle. Before you go, you

qualifications with the job requirements. The interview is a
subjective tool that attempts to forecast a candidate’s performance.

this. Who’s got something?”
Suddenly, you feel like the high-school teacher who has asked a
question about the homework no one did. People find their notepads
fascinating, others fumble in their briefcases muttering things no
one can hear, still others stare into space seeming lost in thought.
No one is looking at you!

it now.
