[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fit is important. Morale counts because we take surveys about our workplace, and if we get awarded "Best Law Firm for Working Mothers" for example, then we can attract talent that is working moms who won't write us off assuming that we won't accommodate kids sometimes. If there's a partner that goes through 2-3 assistants each year, that's a problem. If there's a partner who won't work with other partners, that's a problem. [/quote] I think this is the right kind of “fit”, and I’ve worked at places that use that as their definition but it’s increasingly rare. I’ve also worked at places that defined “fit” as same age/gender/race as hiring manager or most of the team. That’s a misuse of “fit” and far more common these days.
