answer:One thing you learn quickly in the work world: people hire those they believe/know they can get along with (after all, you have to work with them 8+ hours a day), and whom someone on staff knows and can personally vouch for. Most tasks on any given job can be learnt, if they’re not too specialised. The person hiring has to make a decision: go with Applicant A, for whom a trusted employee can vouch, or Applicant B, who seems qualified but no one knows them personally or can vouch for character and fitting in with the company culture. What makes it hard is when there are circumstances where different groups of people do not know each other as friends or colleagues or schoolmates, and in that way does certain forms of discrimination continue. Sure, it backfires all the time, a lot of times incompetent people are hired, but this is how it works presently. Who do you know at that hospital, or know someone who knows someone there? Go set up an informational interview with that person!
