Hiring the "I've never held a job before" worker

Article Abstract:

Employers are forced to hire an increasing number of inexperienced people in a tight labor market. Evaluating an inexperienced person's fitness for the job is difficult because of the absence of a basis for comparison. In these cases, human resource experts say employers should interview for attitudes. According to the US Department of Labor, 87% of all hiring failures are due to the unwillingness of employees to do their job properly, not because of the lack of skills.
