Is Interviewing Like Dating?


Listen Later

Episode Summary:  

Has anyone else ever noticed how interviewing is kind of like dating? 

When we really think about it, interviewing is very similar to dating. 

Pre Meeting Communication 

Maybe someone has reached out to set up an interview. 

Could be phone call, email, text, etc. but the interview 'starts' with that communication. 

Just because the interview hasn’t officially started yet, doesn’t mean as a recruiter, I’m not already evaluating you as a candidate. 

How you communicate before you meet can help or hurt you. 

First Meeting

Show up prepared and on time.

You also need to be dressed well. 

Unless noted otherwise, business professional. 

First Impressions 

Eye contact, smile, firm handshake - regardless of if you are a man or woman! 

Conversations 

During your interview, make sure you are listening to what the person is saying during your interview. 

Don’t be asking questions about what the person has already shared with you! 

Ask questions and truly have a conversation during your interview, this shows interest. 

Make sure it’s a two way conversation. 

Next Steps 

Ask about the next steps to show interest 

Follow Up

Have appropriate level of follow up! 

Now don’t be a psycho stalker, no need to end this relationship with a restraining order y’all! 

Thank you so much for listening.
