โ AVOID SAYING THESE WORDS IF YOU WANT TO NAIL THE INTERVIEW. โ
Oftentimes candidates prepare their answers, craft the perfect responses, and try their very best to sell themselves in an interview...
But then they completely destroy their chances of getting hired by saying one of these forbidden interview words and phrases. ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
to triple your chances of getting hired, watch this video where I lay out WHAT NOT TO SAY IN AN INTERVIEW (Number 5 is going to blow you away). ๐ฑ
The rule that you NEED to know to nail your next interview. ๐ฏ
Interviewers and hiring managers often make snap judgments about candidates based on their first impression.
These opinions are formed within the first few seconds of meeting a candidate.
And the remainder of the interview is spent confirming those assumptions.
That's where the 7-second rule comes into play. โฐ
That's right! You only have 7 seconds to make a GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION in an interview according to Forbes.
This means, what you do when you first meet the interviewer MATTERS.
The good news is that there's a simple way to give yourself an edge and make a killer first impression (and it doesn't involve wearing expensive clothes or pretending to be someone that you're not)
In this video, Our founder Cindy Makita-Dodd will walk you through her tried & tested techniques for making a great first (and lasting) impression in an interview.๐๐๐
