问题     It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical
qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In his (1)______
educational background, special skills and work experience, there is much, (2)______
if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the
employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.
    There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection
procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a whole subjective (3)______
decision. As often as not, employers do not choose best candidates, they (4) ______
choose the candidate who makes a good first impression with them. Some (5)______
employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become
so experienced in interviewing staff so that they are able to make a sound (6)______
assessment of each candidate’s likely performance.
    The main argument in favor of the interview — is that an employer is
concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but about the suitability of (7)______
his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers,
for example, will overlook occasional efficiencies from their secretary (8)______
provided that she has a pleasant personality.
    It is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview
is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess
at the more tangible things, such as personality, character and social ability. (9)______
Fortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many (10)______
people of great ability who simply do not interview well.
