must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to
new ways of working and a new working environment, and __2__
the personality to do the job and fit into a new team.
But there are other personal skills affect your success __3__
in a job. These include getting on with people, oral or __4__
written communication, team working, problem solving
and good time management.
Most people think that interviewers know what they
are looking for and will recognize when they see it. __5__
However, people are actually not very good at assessing
one and another. This applies to recruiters as much as __6__

is the structured interview. Research has shown that
this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job
interniew, though not as affective as using tests or __8__
assessment centers. In a structured interview, the
interviewer groups the qualities listing in the job __9__
specification under various headings. There are two
well-established structures for this: the National
Institute of Industrial Psychology's Seven-Point Plan
the Five-Fold Grading System. The interviewers score
candidates for how well they fit the job specification. __10__
