You’re struggling to find the right job. How can you tell if a company is the right fit for you?
So few candidates have thoughtful questions about the role, team, organization, growth, etc. Bring great questions! It not only get you intel you're looking for but tells us the depth of interest you have in the role.
-
What are the best ways to handle job search rejection?
I regularly tell candidates, "every no is 1 step closer to the yes you are destined for." This gets them in the mindset that they too are seeking the right fit, not just the company doing so. This then alleviates the pressure they put on themselves and also reduce the impact of rejections.
-
How do you decline a job offer after an interview?
Simple, just tell me. State your reason why, no need to sugarcoat it as you're not hurting my feelings. This allows me to update the leaders and move forward in the process. Also, your "no" now doesn't mean "no" forever. If I liked you, I'll likely still consider you for other roles later.
-
How can you coach a candidate who is nervous during an interview?
I've had many candidates get nervous during the interview. Their body language changes, skin tone, pitch, etc. When I notice these, I will pause and take the interview to another location: cafeteria, coffee stand, etc. and continue as a simple conversation. By doing so, I still get what I need but in a way that's easier on them.
