The 7 Deadly Sins of Interviewing: Not Researching Who Is On Your Calendar
I just finished a number of videos on the Seven Deadly Sins of interviewing and I want to add one more bonus sin. And that’s the sin of forgetting that interviewing is like a theater performance. I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. People hire me for no BS job search advice and coaching globally, because I make things so much easier for people.
Now, job interviews are not a flat recitation of facts. As a matter of fact, competence is only one criterion used when evaluating someone. The others include self-confidence, character, chemistry, charisma, that you care, that you can connect with you because for them, they want to trust the person they hire.
If you only provide a recitation of facts and experiences, without taking time to engage the audience like actors do, you’re giving them only one reason to choose you– your competence. The others, the emotional connection with you, are also important. Neglecting them will cause you to be rejected far more often than you should.
Remember, the skills needed to find a job are different than those needed to do a job. They complement one another. But without these soft skills, you’re not going to get hired. So I hope you found this helpful. I’m Jeff Altman. Visit my website, TheBigGameHunter.us There’s a ton in the blog that can help you.
