As much as I agree with the writer, my opinion is this.

It's good to know whether the candidate is passionate about the job, either by knowing his/her short or long time goals are aligning with the company's or the said role.

This may not produce the desired results as the candidate focuses on how to get the job!

Some hiring managers also focus on SKILLS rather than the RIGHT ATTITUDE/CHARACTER Skills can be learnt on the job, but you can't learn the right attitude.

Certainly.

I would say some jobs suck. Plain and simple. We need people to fill them (if we're lucky, these individuals possess character).

You've made some solid points.

Thank you for your time.

Good morning,

Yes, this is a common question, the organizations I have worked for ask.

In my line of work (and many of my peers); we're merely looking for bodies.

It's not ideal, but neither is burnout (for the small number of team members we have, if any).

Thank you for your time.
