The best thing business needs to know when hiring a person is that employers need to go beyond their expectations, their fears, their prejudices and gain a new perspective of a potential employee. Train your HR recruiters and your staff well because awareness is key to the success of both the company and the individuals involved - train leaders to look for potential rather than focusing on limitations.
Yes, prospective employers and job seekers need to better understand each other. But fostering that understanding is, in part, up to us as job seekers, too. That means, when we are seeking a job, we research companies – and network – so we know where we best fit in terms of our skills, temperament, values and goals.
Knowledge of ourselves and of the companies we target in our job search determines how we hone our resumes, our cover letters and our offering statements. In today’s job market, job seekers need to show up-front proof of their abilities and potential – it always goes back to this: practice what you preach; reflect what you want and you’ll get what you’re looking for.

It is just interesting to see how people can lie through their way into an organization. I am always amazed at such incredible acting skills that I sometimes wonder if they would be better off in Hollywood.
Job seekers are just don't care what is the next company they are working to. As long as the pay is higher than the previous company. That is why individual so used to hopping from one company to another. For those are having this habit, please stop to do so. Because you are wasting both parties time.
I think most of fresh grad job seekers are looking for money rather than experience. that's why they manage to 'act' very well though they don't like the job/organization. it's only my opinion (can be right & can be wrong)
Totally agree with you Ernie! To all the Recruiters out there my advice is "Beware of Interview Scam Artist". I'm a Human Capital consultant and I encounter this everyday! At first I thought it was annoying, but once you get used to it, you will use a technique called SWAG = Silly Wild Ass Guess and also read in between the lines when interviewing some one who is a suspected Interview Scam Artist! Do not buy everything they say!
