The search process is not only very time consuming but also quite painful for the person. Hard enough to be in a position choose to wait for an answer, get failures invariably beats-esteem and low self-esteem."You don't come, we have chosen another candidate" - a phrase taken lightly, especially if one hears its not the first time. You receive confidence in your own abilities and competence, fear that the work will not be able to find at all. "Something I did wrong? And, perhaps more courses to go? Or it was necessary to speak more confidently? "
Further training can, and confidence is always welcome, however, always do the whole thing in us? We often forget that the "other side" are real people, with their expectations, motives and reasons not to hire that person.
Bomb
I was once present when selecting candidates in a certain construction company for the position of economist in the Finance Department. There have been a lot of interviews, some candidates went on a conversation with the head of the Department... And then there was a stunning girl with the highest economic, fluent in English (trained abroad), experience and t.d. Very friendly, quiet. We jumped in once, found the perfect candidate! But the head of her candidacy "rejected". The girl then wondered - "I came in all positions and know even more correct, and took a student of the University, without any experience! " Later, I heard the Manager talking with his friend - also the head of the Department - "this person is like a time bomb, she knows a job better than me, I just felt that in a year she will take my place. I would rather take the girl in the eyes which will a professional high class".
Beauty is a terrible force
And in the difficult task of job search is usually a hindrance is not, although sometimes it happens. My friend works as a personnel Manager in a small firm and they asked her to find an employee in the sales Department. Within five days she studied summary, characteristics, interviewed candidates, and then called me - "can't choose! One has the experience, no education, the other - on the contrary, third - charming and sociable, but neither the one nor the other."
The next day we sat down together for the questionnaire.
"Masha! "I showed her the sheet, - "look! Here is a girl - and the education, and experience. You talked with her? " "Yes," said Mary, drawing circles on the sheet.
- And how?
- Well. Able to communicate, it literate".
- Well, what are you complaining that there is none? And what a cute, judging by the pictures... Call her and invite to work. Will call?
"No, " said Mary, still led pencil.
- But why?
Why!! Cute... She's not just cute, she is beautiful, which is small! What am I, crazy, its Dimke Department is a miracle plant? So he's on it every day for eight hours admired? Well, not really!
And Masha, pulling out a stack of questionnaires one, with photo, girls indistinct appearance, pushed to his phone.
Choices
This story was told to me by my friend, who a few months ago was actively looking for a job as assistant Manager or Secretary. She was invited for an interview at a company producing food products, was asked to bring two pictures - 3x4 and "unofficial live. "I came to office," says Anna, "and filled in a detailed questionnaire, I conducted interviews, however, very formally, mainly specified written in the questionnaire. According to the results promised to call at the end of the week. One passed, then another, but the call never came, and I decided to call itself, I replied in a dull voice that I did not pass the screening and offered to take pictures... "
When Anna arrived, the Manager on site was not and she was waiting for her in the corridor, immediately soap sex Granny the cleaner. "Work arranged? "she asked. "No, came something to pick up, and ladies your not," replied Anna.
"Ah! Maybe Oksana to ask, assistant Director, maybe she'll bring you? " Anna asked: "And as a new assistant? " "Why a new one? "was surprised cleaner - old. I have a friend, works... " "How? " - lost Anya - "why new you were looking for? " Grandma laughed, "Yes they are forever! The state disagrees with the Director, Oksana to leave immediately threatening, screaming, take me everywhere. And the Director immediately tells the announcement to give, and then Oksana pictures and paper shows seen, they say, but on your place. Just whistle! Oh and make peace then, they have been working together, for the past seven years". "I felt like a pawn," said Anna - "spent the time came, something had hoped, and I just used as an extra in the crowd".
When we are looking for a job, employers appreciate not only our education, knowledge, skills, experience and so on, but also much more. When the painful rejection, we think, what we do wrong, why the preference given to someone else. However, we must take into account that, coming to a new organization, we do not know the current situation, requirements and expectations for the new employee.
We must remember that the choice of the candidate influenced by personal motives, and even those that we don't think about. So it's not worth all the failures be attributed only to themselves and to put themselves bad specialist. Just this place is not "your", it means that You are sure to find "it".
