As far as all
concern, searching for job can sometimes be dreadful and a bit demoralizing.
EnigmaCG would like you to succeed because it would be good for you, the
company that hire you and for the overall economy. In fact EnigmaCG would
really like you to get the job which you can enjoy doing it, challenges you and
make best use of your overall strength. In the service of that, there are some
actions which we want you to steer away from during your job interview. These
actions as accordance to our expert won’t give you the impression which you
would like to make. While some of the interviewers might have a different
perspective in which attitude they prefer while some of them are very
particular when it comes to the candidates’ behavior that they are
interviewing.
Unfortunately
some of the interviewees get counseled to do some version of these things.
Having experience in recruitment consultancies over the years and having spoken
to many great hiring managers talking about what they like and what they don’t
during the interview given us some ideas on what are the things that you should
have avoided when attending an interview session. If you eagerly want the
interview session to go well, follow these instruction – don’t:-
Freeze Up
No matter how
impressive you are in talents or how excellent and appropriate your resume is
written, it will be a big turn off if you act articulate and silent during the
interviews. As daunting as it get, interview involved everything from your
clear and confidence answer to your body language, all will be put into account
before the further selection process continues. If you couldn't get through the
whole interview without crumbling, people will unlikely to believe that you
will be capable to withstand the stress of the real work. Most important thing
to do beforehand is to practice self-talk as a practice before the actual
interview.
Dominate
It’s good when
you already done your homework about the company you are going for interview.
It is also not a crime if you look like that you are well prepared for the job
but it surely annoying if you swept over the room as if it was your friend
dorm. This kind of attitude is exhaustive as it leave the interviewer with no
space to interrupt and later will be something that they don’t want to
experience every day. A good interview according to EnigmaCG should be a
dialogue session between the hiring manager and the candidate and not a
monologue that will eventually turn off the interviewer. If you tend to talk a
lot you might take into consideration to coach yourself to be curious about the
interviewer; what she or he might want to hear from you and what they don’t.
Be sloppy
Although some
companies practice casual dress code, others might still sticking with the same
official dress code as other major established companies do. Try to find out
before the interview what the standard dress code at the particular company is.
No matter how casual is the dress code, please don’t try to be sloppy. Having a
good personal hygiene will give the company a first good impression on yourself
during the interview. It is more important whether you are overdressed or
underdressed. If you come for an interview looking like you just rolled out of
your bed, it gives the indication that you have lack of respect for the
interviewer, the job and the company you are going for interview with.
Self-aggrandize
Often people are advised to market themselves
and show confidence during their interview, but it is easy to cross the thin
line from confidence to cocky. Answering questions as of you having no sign of
weaknesses other than your impatience for those who aren’t fabulous as you are
might come across as offensive and furthermore annoying. Balancing your
strength and weakness together and telling them how you manage to get them to
complement each other to achieve your earlier goal is better and come across as
far more mature through their eyes.
Throw anybody
under any bus
Even if your previous company feels like
Date’s Seven Circles of Hell, under any circumstance never try to share it with
your interviewer. Sometimes, people say bad things about their previous job
because they don’t know how it will be perceived as later by the interviewer.
You might actually think like it was a compliment to your current company but
the reality is far different. EnigmaCG believes that saying negative things
about your previous work life might give others the impression that you are
both a complainer and indiscreet, which two qualities that they don’t want
their future employees to have because later you might have the tendency to say
negative things about them too.
Focus more on
perks than on the job
Although many jobseekers are advised to ask
about the benefits they would get from the company they have interview with
rather than blindly taking it up for nothing, timing is necessarily critical.
It is truly annoying if you start discussing about them during your first
interview and it will give you the impression that you are only after the benefits
offered and not for the sake of the job itself. Although these are important
things to know, these should be discussed during the end or second round of
interview that will involve the human resource. This attitude will not inspire
the company to hire you now or later.
Be
opinion-free
It will be a struggling moment for a
candidate to come across as flexible and accommodating and it seems as they
agree with everything the interviewer says and suggests. While many companies
are looking for candidates that aren’t combative and rigid, they also need
employees who know what they are and understand what they are capable of and
what is important for them. Be expressive and speak yourself out as it shows
your true potential and whether you are the right candidate with an outstanding
demeanor among others that have been interviewed so far.
Stretch the
truth
As critical as it seems, in this era of
massive information availability, whatever you say and write either your past
work experience, performance or your education will most likely be checked
beforehand by the interviewer. It is better to be frank and upfront with
anything less than stellar by offering a simple explanation to avoid confusion
and distrust at the end. Believe us as trustworthiness is a priority and a
quite critical quality they would look for before hiring you for their company.
Be clueless
about the hiring company
Under any circumstance, please do an
extensive research on the company beforehand. In the age of digital and
information gateway, information can be available at any time and it will be
difficult to understand if you come for an interview without any knowledge on
the company you are interviewing with. It shows just how you are unprepared for
the interview and it will come across as insulting and incurious. If you don’t
know anything much about the company it will be easy for the interviewer to
assume you wouldn't be of much interest with knowing how to do the job well either.
If you do the opposite thing of what we
discuss here, you will ace the interview and eventually get into the ‘hired
list’ in just a matter of time.
