11 INTERVIEW blunders: That is why so many good people don't get HIRED
This is why so many good people don't get HIRED. To start:
- Candidates do not get paid for their time.
- Interviewers do. It is considered OK to waste candidate’s time, but it is not.
- Interviewers come to interviews unprepared and read resumes in front of candidates.
- They do not explain what the job is about, what it is like working there, advantages and potentials.
- They ask questions like “where do you yourself in 5 years”. Instead they should explain where they see their company in 6 months.
- The process takes too long, too many interviewers, too many rounds of interviews.
- Interviewers ask the same questions over and over again, making interviews look like interrogation.
- Consider paying travel expenses. It is not OK to be generous with someone else's money.
- They are looking for MiniMes. Do not hire people to work for you. Hire people to work with, people you can learn from, and eager to learn from you.
- They try to find only faults in candidates. Nobody is perfect. They are unwilling to take any risks, looking for that perfect candidate to come along.
- They don't get back to candidates. It is better to be rejected, than to be left hanging.
