21、longing comes from being in relationships where you're valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding

22、 that job that makes you happy. A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “ Mypurpose is raising my children.

24、 connected to a higher reality. For me, I and it happens through writing.

Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps y

29、al qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are man

30、y arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by sayin

31、g that they have become so experienced in interviewing s taff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate' s likely performance.

They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a c

33、andidate'with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable

34、 aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability.Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who in
