New Employment Search . . . How To Cream An Automated Interview--5 Tips!
Here’s an important new employment search alert. Pay close attention! According to recent reports, the next person interviewing you won't be a person but a computer!
Companies are not having problems attracting candidates but identifying successful ones. You have to be prepared. You see, automated interviewing systems can handle thousands of interviews a day, filter out unqualified applicants and rank the rest for hiring managers to review at their convenience.
If you apply for a job and get a card or email back with a phone number and PIN, that's a signal that your next step may be automated.
Here are 5 tips to help you successfully negotiate this new employment search tactic:
1. These are not maddening customer service lines that can upset you. Don't treat them like that.
2. A negative attitude will hurt you.
3. Don't handle the interview as if you were talking to a computer. Talk to the hiring manager.
4. Stay upbeat in your voice quality and the words you choose.
5. Keep focused on the direct answers to the questions. But then embellish with specific contributions you could make.
Be prepared for questions like, "Senior design engineers can often be difficult to work with. Please tell us about your experiences with them and how you have learned to work effectively with them."
Another type of question may go like this, "You are helping a 4 year old child and their parents pick out shoes. When you try to measure the child's foot, the child gets scared and resists. What would you do?"
No matter what preliminary screening devices are used, no one is going to hire you without meeting you face-to-face. So, when you're in a new employment search mode, it's important to have all your ducks in a row.
For example, that means you have to know what all your work options are. When you do, you can help shape a job description to fit your preferences. You’ll be amazed at how open employers are to your feedback if you’re able to communicate yourself assertively.
If you’re serious about your job search--and want to do it fast--then you need to have a solid plan of action to follow up on a successful automated interview. When you follow a carefully-crafted step-by-step plan you can expect to meet face-to-face with your next boss in a matter of days. And lock up a high-paying job in as little as two weeks.
Your new employment search has to be conducted using 21st Century methods. Automated interviewing is just one of them. The old-fashioned new employment search techniques just aren’t right anymore . . . unless you want to spend months looking for a job.
