Presentation:
“A View From the Other Side of the Hiring Desk”
One of the struggles that I see when interviewing candidates for my company, is that people try to fit their experiences into what they think I am looking for. Even if they do not have the right skill set, they try to convince themselves that if they get in front of me, they will win me over. They plan strategies to adapt what they have done in the past and try to wedge it into the job I am looking to fill. This has never been successful and hurts their chances.
What makes a good match for me is having experience. For instance if I am looking for someone to manage a team of sales people, make sure that you have led a team of people face to face–maybe through managing a customer service team or restaurant staff. While it may not be a direct match, but sales, for example, is customer facing so look to that as a match. That is something I can talk with you about.
Everyone calls jobs by different names. Look past the title. Try to match what you think the job will be day to day with skills you have. This will position you to discuss how your experience can fit the job, not the title. Explain this in your cover letter. I have hired people for my company for a different position when they came in because of their confidence, knowing what my company did and how they could help me succeed.
Glenn Pasch, CEO of PCG Companies, will share his experiences of hiring mistakes and provide tips and strategies so that when you land the right interview for you, you present the right solution to the hiring manager.
