Choosing the right candidate
• Read the article and answer the question:
• Do people change during their working lives?
Answer:
Fundamentally, people stay the same. They may
learn things, and later in life forget them, but
basic abilities—such as language learning and
numeracy—change little.

• Comment:
• According to the article, we do not change
very much during our working lives.
Choosing a candidate because of his/her
potential is a mistake, instead recruiters
should choose people for what they are or can
do now.
