Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings.We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record.
But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest.“This can be a serious problem for employers,” explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment.“The most difficult liars to find are those who tell halftruths rather than complete lies.” Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose.The most common practice is omission.
Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.“Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest.This is usually when people show their anxiety by their body language.Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”
Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policystyle. interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential.Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.

Resume (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate, Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”
Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward, “To keep from losing the forest for the trees”, says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else”.
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time.” Says Garfield, “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

听力原文:M: Let's look at your problem: you always fail the job interviews.
W: It seems so, sir. And the thing is that I always find those questions hard to answer. For example, they always ask me what I think is important in a job.
M: In this ease, you should mention specific rewards other than paycheck, for example, (22) challenge and the feeling of accomplishment.
W: That sounds good. And they often ask what makes me decide to join their company, especially when they are rather small and young.
M: You can tell them that you believe you would have better opportunities with a small but rapidly expanding company like theirs.
W: Great. I think (23) the most difficult question is what my greatest strengths and weaknesses are.

W: Terrific.
M: For your weaknesses, you can identify one or two, such as "I tend to drive myself too hard". The trick is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.

M: You can talk about the things you don't like, but (24) avoid making even slightest reference to any of your former employers.

M: Right. ff you can smoothly apply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.

M: Who's debating about what?
W: The two candidates for the state senate are going to answer questions from reporters. The Daily News is sponsoring the event. Members of the audience will also have a chance to ask questions-so maybe I'll speak, too.
