Be a Person
// December 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
“Of course I am a person”, you say to yourself. Well, have you heard yourself in an interview?
After sitting through hundreds of interviews I find that there is nothing more annoying than a candidate who engages in too much corporate speak.
Recruiters, managers, and yes even people from HR are PEOPLE. More importantly, they are people BEFORE they are any of the other things.
What does this have to do with getting a job?
People hire people they want to work with. Enough of the corporate speak, you sound like an idiot.
Would you say any of that stuff to your friends? #@% No
So next interview you have… RELAX, be yourself, and be a person.
It will be a refreshing breath of fresh air to you and whoever you are interviewing with.
