why are interviews necessary? because employers only want to hire employees that have the skills they need. no company wants to pay $$ to someone who is an ill fit to their operation...someone who is unable to work at the level needed or can not master the skills required. period. or hire an employee that has issues with the workplace & has had behavioral issues.

one way to assess this is to interview the person who wants a job. they will bring in your employment history etc and speak to you about it all to get a better picture of what you would bring to the table...because again $$ is the end line. if painting is the product and you can't do it, well they don't need you, or if strong team work is important and that is an issue, same thing.
