Interviews and Trust
I was very surprised to read in the journal Language and Society that one of the most important aspects that interviewers value is the sense that they can trust the candidate. I was surprised that this old-fashioned value was even mentioned. Unexplained gaps in work history or a lack of frankness turn employers away. This was very refreshing to learn!

That's a great find!! I think there is something to say about being truthful and building a relationship bound by trust in the workplace. After all, some careers require a lot of interaction among colleagues, so to have this bond is crucial to the working environment.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting finding; good job on getting that article! It's a good reminder that, after all of the preparation that we do on resumes and cover letters and getting the right experiences, a lot of work with other human beings boils down to simply being able to work well with other human beings, and have good relationships with them.
