Jones Analysis of a Hiring Issue

The process of matching potential employees with current job openings is a complex process. Specifically, it involves the manager's ability to properly consider multiple variables including previous work experience, educational background, as well as personality traits and work habits. Thus, the hiring process involves decision making based on specific criteria, as well as subjective "gut level" feelings regarding the appropriateness of the individual for the job. Because of this subjective aspect of the hiring process, it is important to employ a series of questions to help one make an appropriate decision

The first question that should be addressed even before the interview process is the applicant's specific qualifications. This means that thorough a thorough examination of the resume and/or application, the "qualified" applicants are separated from the non-qualified. For example, does the employee have the relevant work experience, specific skills, or educational background?

Therefore some questions designed to gauge just where the applicant falls in the "team vs. individual" spectrum is an essential part of the interview for many positions.
Another essential trait that I have usually discovered in a good employee is a certain "professional character" symbolized by a willingness to share some kind of "learning experience" that may perhaps not be particularly flattering, yet still demonstrates an ability of the individual to learn from his or her mistakes. Even the best employee will make some kind of error. What is important is if he or she can learn from those errors. Thus, I have found that if the interviewee can share some story about his or her mistakes (in a way that does not sound contrived),…
