问题     Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.
    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 of employers", explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. "The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths 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 signal 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 policy-style 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.
How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?

选项 A、By leaving out some necessary information.
B、By providing more information than needed.
C、By using their body language.
D、By telling some unbelievable lies.

答案A

解析 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose.The most common practice is omission.”可推知,大约75%的应聘者会在简历上有意隐瞒一些信息。选项。A中的leaving out和原文中omission同义。故选A。
