3 Most Important Questions - Employers & Candidates
Wanted to share an article that boils down interviews to the 3 most important questions for employers & candidates. The answers to these questions will determine if you're the right 'fit' for each other. Employers 1.) Can you do the job? (Do your technical, leadership and/or interpersonal skills match?) 2.) Will you love the job? (Is this more than a paycheck for you?) 3.) Can we tolerate working with you? (Do you fit our culture? Even the ‘best’ candidate can be a culture mis-match, so this is important!)
Candidates 1.) Will you allow me to do my job? (Trust in letting someone do their job once hired) 2.) Will you love that I love doing my job? (Respect that there is more to a job than a paycheck) 3.) Can I tolerate working with you? (Corporate culture affects both parties)

On the employer questions. How do hiring managers able to determine which is the best applicant when they all present the same skill set, excitement for the job, and culture fit? I keep hearing how much of a good fit I make but have yet to been offered a job. Are there any other factors at play in the hiring decision?
This is a great litmus test to figure out whether you're the right fit for a job. Culture fit is an all important and often overlooked part of job searching, which is a shame because it has a serious domino effect on performance and job happiness. When it's great, a good culture fit can push someone to work beyond what they imagined and uplift their team, while a poor culture fit can derail progress and cause conflict. So when you're looking for a job, always consider company culture! Thanks so much for sharing, Marijoy!
Hello, What about trainability? I'm looking for jobs where I can earn a better income but think I'm running into an obstacle because I don't meet the number of years criteria although I'm a quick learner. Is there something I can add to my application that could inspire managers to give me an opportunity to prove I can do the job?
