The educational background of the four candidates plays also a major role. An economical study is advantageous but the candidates can also persuade with their experiences which they made during their career. The next criterion deals with the requirements concerning the compensation. The last important aspect gives attention to the personal appearance which the candidates made during the interview assessment. It also takes the attitude of the applicants into consideration.
