First impressions are important. Some people think that doing well in interviews is the key to securing a good job. To what extent do you agree?

It is often believed that being able to well showcase soft skills in an

interview

would be a sole determinant of recruitment decision.

Although

I agree that a successful

interview

would increase the chance of being hired, professional

background

and experiences

also

play a crucial role in a

job

candidate review process. On the one hand, being able to showcase confidence and decent appearance in an

interview

would make a

job

candidate stand out and increase the chance of being recruited, given that he is

qualified. Take

for example

, a situation where there two candidates with almost identical

background

and

work

experiences. The one who performed well in the

interview

would definitely be selected over the other.

On the other hand

, it is questionable to say that by solely doing well in an

also

looking for someone with proper professional expertise and
