Answer to Question 1

Answer: Quality of hire is a measure of how closely new employees meet the company's needs. Many employers use it to judge the success of their recruiting efforts.
You can increase your chances of being hired by presenting yourself as a low-risk, high-reward candidate when you are applying for a job.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The easiest ways are not always the most productive means of finding career opportunities. The major job boards such as Monster and classified services such as Craigslist might have thousands of openingsbut many thousands of job seekers are looking at and applying for these same openings. Moreover, posting job openings on these sites is often a company's last resort, after it has exhausted other possibilities. Instead of relying on these sources to find openings, identify the companies you want to work for and focus your efforts on them. Get in touch with their human resources departments (or individual managers if possible), describe what you can offer the company, and ask to be considered if any opportunities come up.
Don't hesitate to contact interesting companies even if they haven't advertised job openings to the public yetthey might be looking for somebody just like you.
