问题     Most employers say that they wish to employ the right person for the right job. 3. recent report by Britain’s independent Institute of Manpower Studies, however, disagrees with this. The report states that most employers wish to avoid employing the wrong person. Rather than looking for the right person, they are looking for applicants to turn down.
    The report also suggests that in Britain and in many other parts of the world, recruiters(招聘人员)  used three main selection methods to identify the right person: interviewing, checking curriculum vitae or application forms against predecided criteria, and examining references. Most of the recruiters consulted in this survey stated that these selection methods were used more for "weeding out’ unsuitable candidates rather than for finding suitable ones.
    Interviews were considered to be more reliable than either curriculum checks or references from past employers.  Research, however, proves otherwise.  Interviewers’ decisions are often strongly influenced by their previous assessment of the written application.  Also, different recruiters interpret facts differently. One may consider candidates who have frequently changed jobs as people with broad and useful experience. Another will view such candidates as unreliable and unlikely to stay for long in the new job.
    Some employers place great importance on academic qualifications whereas the link between this and success in management is not necessarily strong. Some recruiters use handwriting as a criterion. The report states that there is little evidence to support the validity of the latter for assessing working ability. References, also, are unreliable as they are rarely critical, whereas checks on credit and security records and applicants ’political leanings are often the opposite.
    The report is more favourable towards trainability tests and those which test personality and personal and mental skills. The report concludes by suggesting that interviewing could become more reliable if the questions were more structured and focused on the needs of the employing organisation.
Which of the following is NOT the reason why the report considered interviews to be unreliable?
选项 A、The written application may greatly influence the interviewers ’evaluation of the applicants.
B、The questions asked by interviewers may not revolve around the needs of the employers.
C、People who have frequently changed jobs may become very skillful in being interviewed.
D、Interviews may understand the facts about the applicants in very different ways.
答案C
解析 第三段第三、四句话指出“Interviewers’ decisions are often strongly influenced by their previous assessment of the written．application．Also，different recruiters interpret facts differently”；“求职申请书中对应聘者以往的评价对招聘人员的决定影响很大，而且不同的招聘人员会给予同一种事实不同的解释”。此外第五段第二句指出“．．．interviewing could become more reliable if the questions were more structured and focused on the needs of the employing organisation”：“如果面试时所提的问题结构性更强些、更加集中于招聘单位的需要的话，面试就会变得更可靠些”。因此选项A、B、D都是研究报告中所提出的认为面试并不可靠的原因，故选C)。
