DAVE: Wouldn't it be just a question of companytraining,though?
TUTOR: Not always.Particularly in a teamsituation,and I think it's important to think in termsof that type of working environment.People have tohave faith in each other's ability to carry out the tasktheir boss has set them.They have to trust thateveryone will do their part of the job,and you can'tnecessarily train people for this.
DAVE: But it's like trying to find out whatsomeone's personality is like in a job interview...Imean you just can't do that.Even if you try,you won't find out what they're really like until theyactuallly start work.
TUTOR: Well,in most interviews you usually ask candidates questions about their hobbies andwhat they like doing in their like doing their spare time...that sort of thing...so employers arealready involved in the practice of...well,doing part of the task.
DAVE: But it doesn't tell you anything.It doesn't tell you if they're easy-going or hate smokersor whatever.
TUTOR: Well,arguably it does give you a bit of information about an applicant's character.
