Reflect on this topic and share your thoughts: While this may seem harmless, humans are quick to judge and falsely assume things about a person without knowing their full story. When hiring, attribution bias can cause hiring managers and recruiters to determine a candidate unfit for the job because of something unusual on their resume or unexpected behavior during the interview. Rather than assume $($because we all know what they say about assuming$)$ a candidate is unfit for a job because they were late to the interview, ask them what happened $$ it could be totally innocent and unprecedented. If there is something on their resume or something they said during the interview that caused you to draw conclusions about the candidate, ask them further clarifying questions. Don$$t forget that interviewees are often nervous and may misspeak or stumble. Give them a chance to share their full story with you before you judge.
