Mike Carruthers: 我发现,在公司招聘面试中,第四个接受面试的求职者通常更有可能获得这份工作。弗吉尼亚州老道明大学的研究人员分析了大学职业中心600多次30分钟的面试,结果表明,招聘经理对第四位面试者给予了最多的关注。虽然普遍认为雇主会在面试的最初几秒钟内对潜在候选人做出快速判断,但这项研究发现,决策者对第一位面试者需要近五分钟,而对第四位申请者则需要近八分钟。然而,在此之后,招聘经理做出决定的时间随着每次额外的面试开始减少。

A lot of things impact an employer’s decision to hire you or not. But one thing you may not have considered is where you fall in the order of interviewees. Listen as I explain why you want to be the fourth person interviewed. ⁠https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-always-fourth-during-round-191931348.html⁠)

Why did you turn out the way you did? Was it because of your parents, your siblings, your environment or all the above? What about birth order - does that really influence the direction your life takes? What do parents of successful kids tend to do more than other parents? All these questions and more are answered in my discussion with Susan Dominus. She has looked at the research on this and found that a lot of what we believe about how kids turn out is wrong. Susan is a writer for the New York Times and author of a book called ⁠The Family Dynamic: A Journey into the Mystery of Sibling Success (https://amzn.to/3ZgfK6z).⁠)

Did you know that compared to many other species, humans have a high rate of genetic diseases. Wouldn’t you think by now that evolution and "survival of the fittest" would’ve weeded those out? What science has recently discovered, about DNA and genetics is astonishing and is helping us understand how genetics work, how diseases are passed on, how genes can mutate and make us sick, why we have such a high rate of genetic diseases and how we may soon be able to fix or prevent some of it. Joining me to discuss this is Lawrence Hurst. He is a professor of evolutionary genetics at the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath and author of the book, ⁠T⁠he Evolution of Imperfection: The Science of Why We Aren’t and Can’t Be Perfect (https://amzn.to/3ZgOjJS)⁠⁠)
