hey there this is Natalie Fisher and today I'm gonna share a real-life story
about why this guy who came to interview at the company where I worked was not
hired so I was having something a little different so I'm gonna be telling you
real-life stories from work what inspired the video was today at work we
had a guy come for an interview and the team that interviewed him said known to
hiring him it's an absolutely resounding no he had a great resume he was a really
nice guy but the team's unanimous consensus was absolutely not
so why I always asked why so in this video we're gonna talk about the number
one reason people do not get hired and it's almost always the same reason it's
just communicated in different ways every time we're going to talk about
that and then we're going to talk about the three ways that you can make sure
that this doesn't happen to you ready stay tuned
you
okay so as I was saying as the HR girl I always asked for specific feedback when
someone is a no and then I deliver that feedback to the candidate because I
think that they deserve that much I mean they took the time to come in and they
took the time out of their interview or they took the time out of their day to
come an interview and if we're not gonna hire them then we can at least give them
a reason a lot of companies don't do this but I do so what was the big reason
you're probably asking well the hiring team worded it like this he doesn't have
that much Java experience when answering questions about projects that he had
worked on in the past he didn't provide enough depth to his answers now his
resume was good that's why they brought him in and it looked like he had enough
Java experience on paper so that's why he made it to the interview in the first
place I think this guy was a lot better than he presented himself to be in the
interview and this is the same reason that everyone gives as to why they chose
not to hire a candidate in some form or another and what it ultimately comes
down to is the candidate did not communicate their value and not to the
hiring manager or the hiring team and someone else came in and they did
communicate that palatable so what are three things that you can do to make
sure that you're communicating your value to the max so that's what I'm
going to share in this video so the first thing is get really specific so
this is where your stories come in and I talk a lot about stories and that's my
main interview tool that I help people with so I have a ton of example stories
in other YouTube videos on my channel so make sure to check those out but my main
one is where I compare a story that's super boring that technically enters the
question that doesn't have a lot of depth to it and then I compare it to us
the same story but it's a super-impressed impressive version of
that story so check out any of my behavioral
interview questions and that I've answered in YouTube videos or you can
download my free examples guide below this video where I give you 10 examples
in the format of a PDF so I've got lots of examples for you just not in this
video so number 2 tie the value of what you did so what you can do for the
company in the future so when you're asking these questions ask a couple of
key questions at the beginning so use those answers to then give you the
information you need to tie in how your value contributes to what they need
right now so you can do that during the interview ask questions at the beginning
get some good answers and use them you want to get them excited about what
you'll be bringing to the table you can do this by doing some preliminary
research about what they need right now and asking them up front to see if
you're on the right track then you can start to put together a plan of what
you'll be working on for them in the next month three months of being hired
so when you're done answering this is number three you want to get instant
feedback on your questions by using these methods so once you've done
answered your question you can say did that answer your
question does that make sense or did that give you a good idea I'm happy to
go into more detail so the goal is to satisfy the interviewer with your answer
not leaving him wanting more or leaving him wondering or uncertain or kind of
wishy-washy on on your answer so if the interviewer is like wondering about
something they might not always ask you so you may be able to tell by their
facial expression or how they behave but something that I always do is I say did
that answer your question in a nice friendly tone mode like did that answer
your question or I can provide more details if you'd like me to and let them
know that you're happy to go into as much depth as needed because you're open
and honest about what you know and about what you don't know and this is a also a
great method to build rapport with that so
this is going to create a sense of trust as well and he or she will see that you
are there to give them a full picture of your history and that you're happy to
explain in more depth and more detail if you need to
very often they will take you up on this offer to provide more detail so
definitely make sure that you are checking in with them and there you have
it the number one reason people don't get hired is because they fail to
communicate their value so if you can get this then you are going to be way
ahead of most people their values strongly enough and I point over three
techniques that you can use to make sure that you're communicating your value
