#JobSearch #Friday – PROJECT CONFIDENCE DURING YOUR INTERVIEW
Are you searching for a new position with your targeted employer? Would you like to know how to raise their interest in you? Would you like to know One Secret that will improve your potential to receive an offer?
Reflect on the recruiting process. The manager decides they need to hire one or more new employees, and they develop justification to do so. Then they create a new job description that they hand to Human Resources.
Human Resources often spends money posting that position online and adding the opening(s) to the company Career pages.
This is where you enter the picture. Either you network your way to an interview (74% to 76% of all jobs are filled this way) or you complete an online application and apply via a Job Board (Corporate Website, Indeed, Monster, CareerBuilder, or any niche job boards – 8% of all jobs filled this way).
When the manager sifts through the resumes (usually, they will only see five or six resumes – the applicant tracking system effectively screens out the rest), they determine whom they would like to interview.
Why Discuss The Process?
Review the steps taken to identify qualified candidates. By the time the decision is made whom to interview, the Manager and Staff have already spent time from their management role to reach the interviewing process. Therefore, they feel they are prepared to extend an offer to the best qualified candidate.
This Is My ONE Secret
If a Manager selects you to interview, they believe you May be qualified to do the job. They want to identify the best qualified candidate NOW – And they are rooting for you to SUCCEED!
Read those sentences again. This information should give you the confidence to succeed in your interview.
Too often, I see candidates who question their ability to perform the position they desire. Yet, when I look at their resume and discuss their background, I feel they may be the best person for the position at that moment.
Therefore…
In preparation for your interview, ask for the job description when you are asked to interview. The job description is probably different than the job posting on the Internet. The job posting is designed to attract your attention to the opening – and apply.
Review the job description. Note where your experience dovetails with the responsibilities of this position. Create stories that demonstrate your ability to succeed in the position.
Very few candidates are a perfect match for any position. The successful candidates who demonstrate experience in the position, the attitude to succeed, and persistence, are the ones who receive an offer.
Project Confidence – and you will often be rewarded with an offer.
You Determine Your Fate With YOUR Attitudes And Actions
Do you feel the POWER you have within you in your search for a new Career? You have total control of your actions and your attitude. Do not give that Power to a naysayer. Act Confident and Optimistic while you execute your Career Search Strategy. Reach For YOUR Moon – your ideal new position in your ideal employer!

You may learn from both sides.
If you feel the need for professional Career Coaching, my business has 3 different packages. I work closely with Professionals in all three packages. The primary difference is the time and personal requirements.
- The first package is the 2 meetings Introductory Package. The 2 meetings cover the basics of a Career Search.
- The second package is the 6 month Gold Package. This package provides you with Career Search guidance and Career Coaching for your first months in your new position.
- The third package is the Titanium package. Call me for details on this package because it is tailored specifically for the individual.
My Talent Attraction business model is to work with one company at a time and charge a flat monthly fee. This enables me to become part of a company’s team for short or long periods. Therefore, I know what is going on behind the curtain that candidates and authors outside of my field cannot see.
