Two people were finalists during a lengthy job search for a college president at State College. Candidate A was in her early 30s, from Harvard, and world-renowned in her field

Candidate B was 50 and also highly respected in her field. Although Candidate B had fewer publications, unlike candidate A, she has successful track record in a variety of administrative positions at two different institutions before applying for this position. According to the research, which finalist should be chosen?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Candidate B is the safer bet because she has more knowledge experience with the kinds of tasks she is likely to encounter. This greater level of expertise allows more quick and efficient problem solving because the person can draw upon similar problems that they handled in the past without having to consider every possibility. They are likely able to be more flexible and creative.
