Desperad-No

Never Let Them See You Sweat!

I know you want a job. I know that for some of you that you will take any job offered. With that being said, please remember this important point – NEVER LET THE INTERVIEWER SENSE DESPERATION.

You may be desperate, but NO ONE who ever comes in contact with you who is a decision-maker, must ever know of that fact. To them, you are the most qualified person for the position and you aced the interview so they are the ones desperate to hire you.

Never let anyone see you sweat!

Just ask yourself these questions. Does pleading, begging or whining depict confidence or weakness? If the job had decision-making involved would you hire a desperate person?

Even though I know you need the job, I don’t want you to do anything that will hurt your chances of getting the job. You can tell them how much you would like to work for the company and tell them you have always wanted to work there because of how well they treat their employees. You can also say it would be a dream come true to be employed by them. But, don’t beg, plead or sweat. Be confident. Sit straight in your chair and exude a confident presence. Make them honored to hire you! Not the other way around.

Believe in who you are all…all those attributes you named about yourself exhibit those. Interview with strength not weakness.

Leave all desperation in the car and walk into your interview a confident, certain, stable and strong professional. If you do this, you will stand a much better chance of staying in the game to get the job. Believe me….you will not soon be forgotten and they will remember you as a strong candidate. Not a desperate individual.

There’s no desperation here!
