She also tackles the experience-versus-attitude debate, arguing that curiosity and resilience often predict long-term success better than years on a resume.\nKey Takeaways\n- Define the role before you search for the person. Get specific on required skills, culture fit, and measurable outcomes first — structured interviews built around real-world problems reveal whether someone is actually right for the role.\n- Write an action list, not a wish list.

Interviewers often excuse poor attitude as nerves — but attitude issues rarely disappear once someone is hired.\n- Test skills, don't just read them on a CV.
