Summary Introduction

To Determine:

An overall review report to summarize the motivation and behavioral patterns of people in different work environments.

Introduction:

I carried out an experimental survey in order to understand peoples’ different behavioral patterns in different jobs. Four candidates were chosen, and they interviewed in the basis of what they liked and disliked about the job.

As a hiring manager you will probably ask similar questions to most of your candidates - "What's the greatest challenge you've overcome?" "What interests you in our company? Now imagine if you had to ask your candidate this -- "If you were a pizza delivery person, how would you benefit from scissors? This question changes the conversation a bit.   Funny and unexpected questions have proven so useful during the interview process that big corporations like Apple and Hess tend to use at least one during their interviews.   You've been given an elephant.

What role does your Strengths Test play in displaying your potential inside that firm, and what measures can you take to improve it? I'd love it if you could back up your response with some actual examples, as that would be quite useful.
You are a new human resources manager assigned to your firm's IT organization. One of your responsibilities is to screen résumés for job openings in the IT organization. You are in the process of reviewing more than 35 résumés you received for a position as a Cisco network specialist. Your goal is to trim the group down to the top five candidates to invite to an in-house interview. About half the résumés are from IT workers with less than three years of experience who claim to have one or more Cisco certifications. There are also a few candidates with over five years of impressive experience but who have no Cisco certifications listed on their résumés. You were instructed to include only candidates with a Cisco certification in the list of finalists. However, you are concerned about possible résumé inflation and the heavy emphasis on certification versus experience. What would you do?
