PREPARING FOR INTERVIEW: WHO GETS THE JOB?
Let me ask you a question. When there is a job vacancy, who actually gets the job? Is it the best person for the job? Not necessarily. Why is that? Because the best person for the job may not have applied for the job and even if he/she has, may not be good at being interviewed. Just think about that for a moment. That’s good news for you if you are currently job-hunting because it means that you can create a much better chance for yourself of getting the job you want than you may have originally thought. Companies may well be spoilt in terms of the number of people who are looking for work, as there are more candidates available than jobs at the present time. However, quantity has nothing to do with quality and companies are looking for people who can meet the following three basic criteria:
1) Can the person do the job?
2) Is the person willing to do the job?
3) Will the person fit in to the company’s culture?
If you can answer yes to the above three questions, then I would say go for it. With reference to point number 1) above, if you are not currently able to do the job but are a quick learner and you can be easily taught to do it, then I would still recommend you applying for the job.
