NEW YORK, Nov. 5 -- A resume and a brief job interview can't answer the question that matters most to a new hire's coworkers: Is this person an absolute pain?

Despite a labor shortage in many sectors, some employers are pickier than ever about whom they hire. Businesses in fields where jobs are highly coveted -- or just sound like fun -- are stepping up efforts to weed out people who might have the right credentials but the wrong personality.

Call it the "plays well with others" factor.

:wtf:
Who gives a shit?

1. Employers don't want someone who is going to be a pain in the ass

That's true from mom and pop places as well as multi-national conglomerates. But most places have to basically go with what they can get.

Personally, as an employee of a large international corporation, I like the squeaky wheels. They have benefitted me in the past. But if I worked for a small place I think I would not enjoy working with someone who is always making waves.
