One of the most pressing issues for graduates of educational institutions, and for those who for some reason want to change the place where they spend their working days, is finding a job.
How to Prepare for an Interview
The first and most important step in the process of getting a job is a well-written and correctly written resume.
Telephone conversation. If you have interested the employer, an invitation to a personal meeting.
Many applicants do not consider this stage worthy of preliminary preparation, but in vain.
It is at this moment that you demonstrate your oratorical skills, the ability to express your thoughts, attentiveness, the ability to listen to the interlocutor and ask questions.
In addition, at this stage you can filter out offers that are not suitable for you, so before calling, be sure to think through all the questions you are interested in.
The interview begins from the moment you enter the recruiter's or manager's office, and forgetting about this, many make an unforgivable mistake.
Remember that being late is unacceptable, and your appearance is your calling card!
Now let's look at some of the most common mistakes that candidates make during interviews with employers, which leads to job rejections:
The first place is occupied by a clearly expressed material interest in the applicant’s work.
Rest assured that if your manager realizes that the reason you chose this particular job is money, you will be rejected.
Any manager wants to have an employee on the team who strives to improve his skills, shows interest in the company and wants to grow professionally within its walls, making his contribution to the economic development of this organization.
In addition, if your goal is only a decent income, then at any time you can move to where they offer a higher salary, and these may be competitors.
Therefore, you should not undermine the trust of a potential employer and clearly demonstrate commercial interest.
Lack of a logical explanation for the reason why the candidate decided to leave the previous position, especially if the change of companies occurred frequently.
Here I would like to note that recruiters are good psychologists; they very often create an environment for the candidate to show himself from all sides.
It could be a stressful situation that you don't expect at all, and so you react to it on the spur of the moment.
Or it could be the other way around, a heartfelt, friendly conversation, where you will be persuaded to have a confidential conversation. In such a situation, many people start complaining about the previous manager, the team.
Remember, you should never do this, such behavior will definitely not increase your chances of getting a job.
It is best to cite the distance of work from home or the lack of opportunities for professional growth.
The applicant's appearance. And this is not only clean and ironed clothes.
Many companies have a dress code, so it would be a mistake to apply for a job in an extravagant suit or a colorful, revealing dress.
And indeed, many managers reject candidates, citing their inappropriate appearance.
Lack of understanding in what direction and desire for further professional development.
The importance of this point is directly proportional to the level of status and position for which the candidate is applying.
Thus, for beginning specialists, some vagueness in the vision of future prospects is permissible, but the desire to master new directions is necessary.
Template answers to all questions from the future leader.
Let me explain: many job seekers, having read a large number of recommendations on how to get a job, begin to follow them unconditionally.
Believe me, an experienced leader will always see through falsehood.
A set of mistakes of a typical unsuccessful candidate: unpunctuality, lack of awareness of the company's activities as a whole, low self-esteem, inability to talk about their personal contribution to the work at their previous place, poor vocabulary, nervousness, aggressiveness, lack of understanding of what the employee should do in the future position.
Earlier I talked about how to get rid of them and achieve financial success.
