I spoke with someone who left a job without another one to go to. The culture was too toxic and they had to make a change. They are concerned about what to say in a job interview about why they left. Will people think they were the problem? My advice: be completely honest with why you left. If the hiring manager can't appreciate that, then that's one more firm to cross off your list of companies you want to work for. #work #job #culture #hiring #interview #recruitment #executivesearch

Why should we hire you over another candidate, said the interviewer to two distinct job applicants? The first candidate said: "You should hire me for this job because I am suitable and most qualified for the role. Above all, hire me because I am the best candidate there is". The second candidate implied by highlighting: Continue reading in the comment section. #jobinterview #interviewing #career #exceptionalblessing

Watch Out for Red Flags: Bungled Interviews Provide Early Warning Signs of Employment Challenges: Beware of chaos, bureaucracy, and secrecy in the interview and hiring process. Another flashing red light is conceit, where hiring executives "want you to believe you're lucky even to be considered for their role." The content raises these issues: How is the hiring experience a tip-off on the employment experience? How is the hiring process a "tell" of an organization's culture? What should candidates expect from the interviewing and hiring process? https://lnkd.in/gPumDCvR #interviewing #hiring #jobs #HR #interviews #businessinsider #redflags #JoyceFlory #ghostwriter  

If you are not selected for a job it’s not because you aren’t good at what you do. It’s because there isn’t a match of skills against what the business is looking for. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on this. Receiving a rejection is hard no matter what stage of life you’re in. It’s taken lot of mental rewriting to not take interview rejections as a reflection of my capabilities as a recruiting leader. I’ve been on both side of this and I know that at final stages it’s very rarely down to the quality of the candidates but the stage and needs of the business. Sometimes it’s an important reminder to remember those moments. #recruitment #rejection #interviewing #jobsearch

DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE WHEN INTERVIEWING FOR A JOB YOU’RE OVERQUALIFIED FOR! 👎⛔️✋🚫. I see so many seasoned professionals right now interviewing for jobs wanted two levels below their last position making this mistake. In this video, I explain while acting like the Jack or Jill of all trades will not work in your favor in a job interview.

Are you asking about employee turnover and average tenure when interviewing? If not, here's why you should be 👇 It's expected, particularly if you have some shorter durations on your CV, that an interviewer might ask about the reasons you left previous jobs. They're looking for clues as to your character, the types of environments that might not suit you, and any trends that offer insight as to whether you'd be a valuable hire. The same applies the other way around - asking (with the right approach) about employee turnover and tenure can offer the same insight into company culture and give you the ability to further explore potential red flags BEFORE you've signed a contract 📄🖋 It also allows you to see how transparent a company is - unconvincing/disingenuine answers to these types of questions are quite easy to spot. The key is to ask politely and with a tone of genuine interest, paying attention so as not to sound accusative. Have you ever asked this in an interview and gained valuable insight? #interviewquestions #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #softwareengineer

If I interview you, I will see 20% of you. If I give you a chance, I will see most of you. If it doesn’t work out, we both learned something. Hiring companies: probationary periods exist for a reason. Win-win so give people a CHANCE! #jobseekers #jobsearch #hiringmanagers #recruiters #interview
