The Headhunter Secret to Knowing You Did Well on An Interview

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

In this video, Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter lets you in on the secret way headhunters know you did well on a job interview.

What’s The Difference Between a CV and a Resume?

I want to let you in on the secret, when the things I picked up over my many years of doing recruiting that indicates the firm is interested in hiring you.

I’m not talking about after the interview with equally open say, “I think you’re great.”  I’m talking about life.  Real time.  In the room.  While you are meeting with the firm.  The signal that the giving of particular interest.

I want to be clear that this doesn’t work all the time.  Nothing works overtime job hunting.  If it happens, you’ll know that they’re interested.

This is the signal that the firm’s is give in the interview room… The more they talk, the more they like you.

What’s happening is that they’ve shifted from evaluating and assessing you to selling you.  The trying to persuade you OR they happen to feel particular connection with you.  In both cases, that’s particular hiring manager likes you and is willing to “bless the hire.”  Or they are willing to go further in getting to know you..

Nothing is ever guaranteed because most of these interview scenarios, there was always someone else who can make it difficult for you.  At least this person who do sitting with eyes like you and wants to bring you on board.

Again, you may be meeting 3 or 4 people.  This is only one.  Unless they the hiring manager or the overall hiring manager, it may not need anything and sometimes with these hiring managers if the subordinates don’t like you.  It will work.

However, if the hiring manager likes you, of all the individuals you meeting with at a certain point in the interview start to tell you how wonderful the firm is and how much they like working there, if they start talking on a they start shifting gears into what nd on about themselves (I’m not talking about the 1st 5 minutes.  That’s just a bad interviewer.  I’m talking about after you spend some time with them talking with them about your experience and competence as well as what you’ve done, as well as all the other things that their asking you about), if they start shifting gears into them talking all the time, that is a buy signal.  That means that you’ve done well.

    This makes sense and will be something I will look out for in future

    philosophy to talk less ans listen more.
