Special Considerations

None should be a barrier to gaining upward mobility.

Violations of ethical or moral standards.
Violation of law or institutional policy.
Buying acceptance through financial or special favors.
While ability to fit into the social interactions of the work place is important, substantial non-voluntary association beyond the job should not be a requirement.

Interview the selectors as they interview you.
There are any number of reasons why an applicant might not get a job or promotion. Look for the cause but don't take it as a rejection or permanent condition.
Some skills are only sharpened by the number of experiences - i.e. interviews.
Major recommendation and conclusion:
- Seeking an appropreate "FIT" is in the interest of everyone involved. It makes for job satisfaction for the employee and lessens the required supervision by the manager. Job seekers often only focus on one or two aspects and do not consider the whole set of factors. Finally, the fit can avoid a host of heartaches and good career placement.
