Read the article about The changing world of English, then read the text carefully,

then answer the questions below.

Most employers / owners say employers that they wish to employ /service employ the right person for the right job. A recent
report by Britain's independent / autonomous independent Institute of Manpower Studies, however, disagrees with this. The report
states that most employers / companies employers wish to avoid employing the wrong person. Rather than looking / watching
looking for the right person, they are looking for applicants to turn down.
The report also suggests that in Britain and in many other parts of the world, the selection methods used to identify the right person for the
job certainly do not match up to those used to evaluate a piece of new equipment. Recruiters used three main selection methods:
interviewing, checking curriculum vitae or application forms against predefined criteria, and examining references. Most of the recruiters
consulted in this survey stated that these selection methods were used more for "weeding out" unsuitable candidates / applicants
candidates rather than for finding suitable ones.
Interviews were considered to be more reliable than either curriculum checks or references from past employers. Research, however, proves
otherwise. Interviewers' decisions are often strongly influenced by their previous assessment of the written application / solicitation
application . Also, different recruiters interpret facts differently. One may consider candidates who have frequently changed jobs as
people with broad and useful experience. Another will view such candidates as unreliable and unlikely to stay for long in the new job.
Some employers place great importance on academic qualifications whereas the link between this and success in management
organization management is not necessarily strong. Some recruiters use handwriting as a criterion. The report states that there is little
evidence to support the validity of the latter for assessing working ability / aptitude ability . References, also, are sometime
unreliable as they are rarely critical, whereas checks on credit and security records and applicants' political leanings are often the opposite.
The report is more favorable towards trainability tests and those which test personality and personal and mental skills. The report
concludes by suggesting that interviewing could become more reliable if the questions were more structured and focused / attentive
focused on the needs of the employing organization.
