The Key to Successful Interviews Using Behavioral Interviewing

According to a three-year study conducted by Washington, D.C.-based Leadership IQ, nearly half of the 20,000 new hires it tracked had failed within their first 18 months on the job. That wasn't because managers hadn't correctly ascertained their skill sets—instead in the great majority of cases what was missing was an attitudinal fit. The key to a successful interview is asking the right questions. Interviews provide you with the opportunity to learn more about a person than his or her resume provides. But you can’t always know about attitudes. These are the precise intangible assets that are the key definers or corporate culture. You can change skills through training but you can’t change attitude.
