In a general CV form you have Education where the candidate is putting all
the formal and informal training he attended. It all depends now about the
Mental Models of the selection responsible: Does he consider this college,
school... a good one, does he consider the grades obtained relevant
(good/bad) or not? Then the informal part: This training for ex.
"Leadership" SOUNDS good so unconsciously the interviewer gives to the
candidate more leadership skills on the evaluation form (or consider a
conference ex. "Leadership Development Seminar" which is more impacting.)
Next: the professional part: This position: ex. "Customer Support
Executive" or "Team Leader" in X Department SOUNDS ok and the candidate
gains additional management or leadership skills. In the evaluation form
he might have a lot of these but does it means he IS what the Evaluation
Form says and the selection responsible actually think?
On the other side: A person has lesser or not it all "SOUNDS good"
trainings attended and just coworker positions in professional area but he
IS a better teamworker and have more leadership potential and management
experience even that the position attended didn't reflected by name what
he actually did on his jobs.Both of them speak at the interview about the
same kind of situations and how they have dealt with and they don't seem
to lie because they don't, they sincerely believe that they have the
skills.
Whom do you choose?
Thank you,
