Applicants' Personalities

I thought that this was an interesting article because I did not know that some companies out there hire employees that gel with the company surroundings. I always felt that companies hired the best qualified people and that was all that was needed. The "weeding out" that these companies do remind me a lot of college and how most majors do this to make sure they have the very best students. I have never had to really interview or go through the process of "weeding out" for a job. It does comfort me however that there are companies that do not focus strictly on your resume like grades and such. It helps people who are great workers and have people-friendly personality compete with the people who are more academically sound. I have heard from several people including my dad that, the job will teach you a vast majority of what you need to know for it. The academics and resume just get the proverbial "foot in the door." I hope that when it is my time to interview for a job after college, that I can stay strong even if I do not get the first job I interview for. If I do get a job and initially I do not like it, I hope that I can keep my head up and show a great attitude because another job that I am better suited for and like will eventually come around.
