IS IT HARD TO RECEIVE A JOB OFFER AFTER AN INTERVIEW?
Perhaps you make some of the following errors
You send CVs and interview, but you don't succeed. Do you feel like the HR Manager doesn't understand and see your potential?
Maybe the problem is not really related to your skills or position experience. You may be doing something in interviews that closes your opportunities ...
Interviews are an essential part of almost every career change, but many people do not give it enough weight and importance. Often, an interview is almost the only way HR professionals can judge whether a candidate is suitable for the job, writes Zaplatomer.bg.
What mistakes should you avoid to increase your chances of success?
You've seen a great job posting, the job description seems right for you, and you know you want to do the job and you're going to do it well. Wonderful! You send your CV with a cover letter and a few days later your phone rings. Looking for an HR specialist from the company who wants to invite you for an interview. Many people think that getting to this stage is already a victory, but in reality, you are only on the third path to success, and at this point your interview preparation should start with full force.
Many HR professionals are unanimous in that they withdraw points from candidates who are unable to answer basic questions about the company or are not familiar with its products and services. Of course, you do not need to be an expert in their business models, but if you have not researched the company and know nothing about it, you will automatically go to the bottom of the list as you do not demonstrate that you are an organized candidate.
Similarly, be sure to prepare for any salary questions. Before the interview, it would be wise to do a salary survey to find out what the average salary is for that position in your region and with your level of education and experience. Payroll research will also help you learn how to negotiate.
It's perfectly normal to have a negative impression when it comes to your previous or current job, but in an interview it's preferable to avoid complaining about your employer. This is perceived as unprofessional, immature and unfair.
If the HR specialist asks you why you want to quit your current job or why you quit your previous job, try answering honestly but still diplomatically.
No matter what position information you have already received from the ad or from your own research, it is always a good sign for HR professionals when you are interested in job details and ask the right questions. You are demonstrating genuine interest in the company as well as being prepared for the interview, so do not view the interview as a passive discussion. Last but not least, you show that you are an intelligent person who accepts preparation as an important part of the interviewing process.
The delay for a scheduled interview is a definite no! This is a clear sign that you are unreliable - your organizational skills are not as good as you say in your cover letter, or you are not taking the opportunity to find a new job seriously. It is acceptable if you are late due to unforeseen circumstances, but if this happens, you MUST call in advance and explain the situation.
Quick and active communication will earn you points. If you are in the habit of ignoring emails or replying 3 days later, you need to start communicating professionally or you will end up at the bottom of the list again.
A good CV is, of course, essential, but you should never decorate or lie to look better. An HR professional will expose everything incorrect in your CV and close the door on the company for you.
Lastly - look at social networks
Nowadays, most HR professionals are not only on LinkedIn, but often view the profiles of candidates on other social networks. They do this to ensure that your image on social networks does not hurt the company and will fit into the company culture. They can also check that your public presentation matches your job description for certain types of positions (especially at senior level and representative positions).
