On the Job: Most important job interview question. Do you fit in?

As a professional recruiter, Tony Beshara has personally arranged more than 100,000 face-to-face job interviews, and there’s one thing he knows for sure: You can have qualifications a mile long, but if you’re not liked by the people doing the interviewing and hiring, you can forget being offered a job.

”Whether you are liked or not accounts for about 40 percent of the hiring decision,” he says.
