答案解析：
36.【解析】tight。此处应填一形容词修饰job market。在就业形势非常紧张的情况下，求职时注重细节才尤为重要，tight在这里意指"(形势或局面)紧张的，严峻的"。
37.【解析】eliminate。根据后面的Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate可知，此处应为eliminate的原词复现。
38.【解析】bother。此处应填一动词，且能与后面的不定式搭配。bother to do sth.意为"费力做某事"。
39.【解析】details。由短文开头的Attention to detail可知，此处应为detail的原词复现。空前的these决定detail须用复数形式。
