It Seems It's Not the Recipe, It's Got to Be the Cook

As of late, I've pondered the reasons that organizations hire the folks they do. Kimchi is in the cask. And from my experience, the common trend seems to be that the people are hired for their character and what they have done, or at least attempted. I couldn't count the number of conversations I've had since starting my job that began, "Well when I got into this field I knew very little about it, but I had done...that appealed..."

It would seem as though good organizations hire people on character, innovation, and drive, assuming that those individuals will catch up on the knowledge that can be gained from reading articles or books.

When was the last time you were asked a question regarding your knowledge of a topic in an interview?
