In this video, I'm going to teach you the 5 reasons why you're not getting
hired.
Hey, it's Kirk Duncan. It's time to talk about why you're not getting hired. What
are you doing? What's going on with this? how come... Why are you doing so many
interviews and you're not getting hired? Something's wrong, something's not
working. And you're starting to feel it like, you're going out to these
interviews and it's just not working. Coming home have to explain it to your
family of why I didn't get hired and you call back, you call back, you call back
and they hired somebody else. What is going on? You thought you had the skills,
you thought you had what it took to be able to get hired but there's a glitch
somewhere. And I bet you don't know why there's a glitch. You know, getting hired
there's quite the equation to make this whole process work. But I've got 5
reasons why you didn't get hired. And you got to figure this out because how much
longer can you go going to these interviews and not nailing the interview
and getting hired? I mean, this is you right? I mean, it's like you got it... This
is your income, this is your progress, this is you moving forward. But you're
probably looking at the wrong things. And and you don't know what to look at. So,
let's let's uncover this for you. What these 5 big reasons are. As we get
into this, of course, you know attitudes everything. But I don't think you really
understand the components of attitude. What really puts this together so that
you're the one they pick. Because you only got this one shot. You know, the
phone calls afterwards, the emails afterwards, that's not going to close the
deal. I mean, the moment the deal was really decide if it's you or somebody
else, you probably had about 5 minutes inside that interview before they
started making decisions if it was going to be you or not. So, let's check this out.
The way your mind is functioning is really affecting the way you're acting.
So, in this mindset, let's discuss this for a moment. How do you see
yourself walking into that interview? No, really. Like how do you see it? If you
close your eyes and you go inside your mind, can you see yourself walking into
that room? Or walking in the door, walking down the hall then walking
in that room for the interview? Can you see the whole picture happening? Can
you pull away and be able to see yourself actually sitting in the chair
while the person sitting over here doing the interview? If you have not done the
visualization of that whole entire interview happening perfectly, and then
pointing at you and say, "You know what? You're hired." And then shaking your hand
and you got a big smile on your face. If you don't have that visual inside your
head, no wonder you didn't get hired. How are you supposed to get hired when you
can't even see it? Now, I got to a tell you this. I was at the
gas station one day. And I was filling up my vehicle with gas and this guy pulls
up in a truck and he gets out he's all upset about something. You know, I
look across the gas pump. I'm like, "Hey, buddy, you okay?" Because he's really upset. And
he goes, "I don't get this." he goes, "This is the 25th interview with 25 different
companies. I'm still not getting hired." And he was really upset. But I feel bad
for him. Because he didn't know about what to do to get that interview. And I
asked him I said, "What are you doing the interview?" He goes, "I keep telling him why
after the skills for this and I keep telling my years of experience." And he
kept pushing on his interview whenever he else usually pushes. They usually push
what they can do and all the skills that they have. But he's missing number 1. I
mean, seriously, you got to get inside your head. Walk yourself through the
whole scenario. Seeing what you're wearing, see how the people see you, see
how the whole interview is going to interact. How you're sitting, how you're
talking and you create the best inside movie of this interview you could ever
create. Even though you don't know what the person's going to look like, you don't
know what the interview room is going to look like. You don't know those things.
You make it up. Those people who achieve great things in their life are people
who can actually visualize that first, then they achieve it. Because how are you
supposed to get something you can't even imagine.
So, mindset, that's one side. That's the visual part. Now, on the conversation part.
When you were driving to that interview, what was that conversation like? Was it
you know, "Man I'm going to get this job, they're going to love me, I'm going to love
this company, this can be a great team to work with." Are you pumping yourself up
with conversation that's talking like it's
already finished? Like it's already done? Or did you walk out the door telling
your family going, "Well, let's see how this turns out. Well, got to go to another
interview. I don't know how it's going to turn out. Guess I'll find out later. Why
leave it up to chance? Mindset has two parts to it. It has the visual side and
it has the story side. How you seeing it inside your mind and how are you talking
about it. Because mindset controls everything about you. And if your mindset
is off, you're going to be off in that interview. There's no way you're going to
get the job. If your head's not in the game. But you got to get your head in the
game. Visualizing the whole entire interview,
driving there, being there, being with the person, over here, you literally are
literally talking to yourself the night before, the week before. Clear up to the
moment before, clear up to walking in the door, clear up to sitting in the chair waiting
for your interview. You are working your brain. You have to work your mindset.
Because nobody else is and be cautious because we naturally, as human beings
think more negative thoughts then positive thoughts. And that... This right
here is... It could be the very number 1 reason why you're not getting your job.
People hire for attitude. You could be missing half the skills. But because you
got this amped-up attitude, that you really believe in yourself. That you got high self
esteem, high self confidence. Man, you're going to get picked. I'm a business owner.
I've hired hundreds of people in my life. And I could pick the... I got the person
who's got all the skills but just this weird attitude and energy about them. And
I got a person who doesn't have the skills but their attitude is amped like
they're just on it. Who would I pick? You can't train somebody on attitude. And
attitude comes from mindset. Okay, next 1. Your body language can get you fired.
Your body language can also get you hired. But you got to be able to present
yourself in a way that looks confident. I mean, that shoulders back, chin up, smile
on. You know, you set well in the chair, you're not slumped over, you're not
fidgety. You got to really take a look at how you physically are being in front of
those people. Because you may be, you know, good I as
you're talking and explaining things but they also look at your body language too
as a conformation to your confidence. Every time somebody is questioning what
you say. They look at your face and they look at your body language. Is that... it is
the biggest secret on the planet is confirmation comes from body language.
And if your body language does not back up this mindset, you're calling your own
bluff. So, what does that mean, that means you practice at home sitting in the
chair. And you ask your family, "How does this look? How do I look? How do I look?"
You practice smiling. Most people have more muscles in the
frown zone than in the smile zone. So, you naturally are going to look like you're not
happy. Most time when people ask... They ask you questions and you go into
your head to think about the answer, watch this, watch this.
Hmm. It looks like stinky face. But it's a thinking face. But it's a stinky face and
so, what you got to practice is how to smile whole you're still thinking. Because
most don't even look at that. And then when they ask you questions, you got
stinky face. And you look like a mess and you're not going to get hired. Because it's
like, "Wow, they sure lost their good attitude fast when I ask them a question."
So, check in with your body language. Practice sitting in the chair, practice
standing. Look in the mirror, straighten yourself up. Really, straight... Shoulders
back, chin up, smile on, hands relaxed, no fidgety and really practice that smile.
Because it's going to make a big difference. No, and you're not you're not going to
get hired with terrible body language. And a messed up mindset. Next one, people.
Okay, so, how are you with people? You know, what are you like with people? How
many new people did you meet in the last two weeks? Did you introduce yourself
anywhere? Did you meet people? Because when you walk into the interview, you're
going to meet somebody you don't know. And it's going to be awkward because you have
not been out meeting new people. So, here's this... Before you go to your
interview, you got to meet like 10, 20 new people. Like really walk up, introduce
yourself, shake their hand, practice smiling. Practice getting to know them.
Why wait until the interview to meet this person. You're going to be so awkward.
You're going to be uncoordinated, awkward nervous. So, don't wait till the interview.
Go meet people 10, 20 people. 20 people. You want to really master this? 20 people.
You want to be like a *buzz* , one or two people. But get out and meet new people. Practice
interact with people you don't know. Because you... Your people skills are
pretty low. You know when someone goes out to look for a job, their people
skills really are pretty low and especially introducing themself. I can't
tell you how many awkward introductions I've seen in my life. It's like, "Do these
people even go outside their house? Do they even talk to people? And most
people are hiring people to do a people job. Where you're interact with people,
are doing a skill that's interacting with people. So, don't wait to get to the
interview before you interact with people. Go meet people today. Okay, the
next one. Another big reason why you didn't get hired. Which you got to change.
Is you got to study the company. I was sending an interview one time and I
asked the person, "So, what do you know about this company?'' And he said, "Uhm,
actually nothing." Why should I hire you? I have a website, I have a Facebook page.
It's like, you don't know anything about us and you want me to pay you money to
work here? And you didn't even take time to do your homework? I mean that is just
a major. That's a bad move. Study the company. Clear down to how it was founded,
how is it created, how did it start, what's its... What are the products, what
are the services, what are the names of the products or the names of the
services. Know all the other offices, know everything about them. Because if you get
caught not knowing anything about the company, you are so dead. And you are so
done. And it also builds major confidence. When you know about the company,
you walk in there feel like you already worked there. Also some of... Some of the
websites for companies, so you look it up and then the pictures of the people that
work there. Practice memorizing the names, practice memorizing the positions, the
names of the positions and all these different things. The more you know about
them, the more they're going to feel like you've already really studied enough to
be able to work there. Okay, the last one. It's about them, not you. If you're going
into your interview going, you know what? And you want a job so you can have
money, you're going to be in the whole me, me, me, me, me attitude. You're not going to
get hired. That is the last person I hire is the
person who's all, "You know, I just really want to work here because I really need
some money. Because I really got to pay my bills." It's like, I don't need you. But
I really am interested in the person who says, "You know I want to work here
because I want to help you with your mission and your cause. I really believe
in what you're doing is a company it's like oh!" Well, when they, when the person I'm
interviewing is all about my mission and my cause as the company owner and
president, okay, their name goes at the top of the list. So, when you go there, if
it's all, you-need-money, you-need-this. Yeah, you're you're done. You're done.
Why don't they hire you. But be there about the company and notice what
happens.
Okay, there it is. Simple, get it done and practice this before you get to
the next interview. Stop the madness, get the job. Subscribe. You know you love this.
