Finding this article online reminds me how much I miss the content at  Businessweek. The article, Job Applicants’ Cultural Fit Can Trump Qualifications, which focuses on cultural fit and the selection process.

Before you get excited about that CFO position armed with only an Accounting certificate, consider the following caveats:

• Initial screening may not include any cultural variables
• Culture changes
• Codified cultural criteria might be wrong

Many other possibilities.

It is worth remembering that often we associate with those like us and those we like.
