If an employer is seeking attributes he/she can't ask questions about surely they'll simply not offer jobs to those they feel don't meet the criteria without the interviewee ever getting a chance to persuade them. How does that benefit anyone? |
Don't forget 'enthusiastic' which is a word i used to describe a successful candidate when an unsuccessful candidate sued my trust for age discrimination. Cue the flood doors opening for discrimination cases left, right and centre and people like myself bearing the brunt (low paid, middle manager on a written final warning
)
