Job interviews can be daunting, and many unconscious biases are introduced. It is important for job seekers to be aware of the cultural aspect of interviews, as employers are looking to see if they are a good fit and mesh well with the company. People tend to be brought in for interviews if employers believe they have the skills and experience to do the job, but they are also looking for someone that they want to do the job with. It is important to be aware of this aspect of the job interview process.

Confidence is essential in the job search process, especially during the interview. Employers are looking for someone who can do the job well and also get along with people at the company. It is important to prepare for an interview and to remember your strengths, as well as to interview the interviewer. Zipia conducted a survey that revealed that it takes an average person 24 weeks to go through the hiring process, with 6 applications being necessary. Women are 30% less likely to be selected for a job interview than men with similar qualifications. 40% of recruiters will not hire someone who is not confident in themselves. It is important to demonstrate confidence in a job interview without being cocky. Being aware of one's strengths and demonstrating them positively is key.
