description This research replicated and extended the work of Struthers, Colwill, and Perry (1992) on decision making and reasoning in the interviewing process. Interview transcripts which varied the candidate's past work history, as well as the locus and stability of the stated reason for leaving the previous job, were used as stimuli. Participants rated the likelihood they would hire or reject that candidate for a hypothetical position, as well as their hopefulness and expectations about the candidate's future success. Work history had the greatest impact on interviewers' perception of a candidate, although other attributional inferences were used especially when candidates were viewed favorably.
