Chris, in my experience you always get the people who come across well at interviews but they are not necessarily the best! Good manners, respectful, good timekeeper, organised with an awesome positive attitude who is still willing to learn! That's the person you need! My daughter who trained as a midwife found it hard at first to get a foothold in the job market as there is a shortage of midwifery position , so using her positive attitude she went for an interview for an internship for a year to give her the required job experience,at the end of her interview she was asked "why should we take you on for this internship?" To which she replied, "BECAUSE I'M AWESOME!" now theres a positive attitude! The interview had no reply apart from to offer her the position ;-)
