In most cases the interview is the last hurdle that an applicant has to clear before landing a job. Interviews probably aren’t a foolproof method of selecting candidates; however, I can’t suggest any better alternatives.

An employer can’t fully assess a candidate’s capabilities, personality or character during an interview. Several personality development centers now prepare candidates for interviews. They are taught how to answer questions that are frequently asked during interviews. Sometimes a candidate who possesses better qualifications may fail to get the job because of his poor performance in the interview.

However, I don’t think that interviews should be done away with. Employers all over the world use this selection process to find the best candidates. This is a clear indication that interviews are an efficient method of selecting good candidates.

In my opinion, interviews should not be the only criterion for selecting candidates. They should be used in conjunction with written examinations during which a candidate’s proficiency in various subjects can be assessed. In addition, candidates should be asked to participate in debates or group discussions. Their real personality and leadership skills will come to the fore during these events.

To conclude, the interview is not a flawed recruitment process. It isn’t perfect but it certainly has more merits than demerits. In fact, when interviews are used in conjunction with other personality tests, they will definitely help businesses find the best candidates. Organisations should also consider hiring fresh graduates on a probationary basis. Those who deliver excellent performance during the probationary period should be hired to fill permanent positions.

Nowadays most people prefer living in the large cities to living in a small community because of the benefits large cities has brought to their lives. So how about living in a small community? What were advantages and disadvantages to be a part of a small community in the past.
I believe there were 3 main benefits. First;y, as living in a region, people living in that area surely knew their neighborhood well, so they easily interacted with everyone when they faced a problem or needed something. Besides, having people stay by side by side each other and helped them out when facing difficulties, which made me would rather choose small community’s life than a larger one. Secondly, the limited population made them unwilling to do crime. This meant the crime rate remained very low because it would be detected soon if you were involved in stealing or any relative activities. Finally, the manage of government was much more effective and forceful than the big cites’s lives. Owning to small population, the government were in charge easily.
I think many of the disadvantages were education. It could be denied that the development of education is supported by the population in one area. That is why it was rarely found a high quality education facilities in a small community. However, in my view, lacking of information was also as serious as lacking of education. Because it’s hard to get information from outside their region, people living in a small community was usually considered as a fogy people. Therefore, we can’t deny the importance of receiving information and knowing what happens around the world.
In my opinion, living in small community is perfect or middle-age people and the old. However, for the young, they might choose to live in a large city. in fact, living in a small community is not really bad because we can form a strong relationship and you’ll never ever alone.
