hey there in this video you're gonna learn how to make your experience or
lack thereof a non-issue you're gonna learn two things that will make hiring
managers disregard your lack of experience and you're gonna learn the
key ingredient that most new grads freshers are lacking in an interview and
this often cost them job offers so I'm Natalie Fisher and I specialize in
helping new graduates like you who have worked hard in the classroom to reach
their full potential and land those high level jobs sooner rather than later so
that's what I do so stay tuned okay
let's get into it so how to make your experience or lack thereof experience a
non-issue so when you're being compared to a bunch of other more experienced
candidates then of course not having as much experience it's not going to help
you and it's gonna affect your confidence levels when you go in for the
interview as well but what if you were to create your own opportunities instead
of competing for existing ones so that's the first thing I want to talk about is
creating your own opportunities and what this means is that you don't actually
have to compete in a bloody ocean of jobs that you see so the ones that are
posted on indeed or monster or career builder and such those are the ones that
everybody sees so you can actually create your own blue ocean of
opportunities so by reaching out to people who can help you in your job
search reaching out to the right people with
specific messaging who can help you open up those opportunities that are not
posted 85% of those opportunities are secured this way so by people who are
reaching out to the right people so if you master how to do that your
experience becomes a whole lot less of a thing because you are no longer
competing with thousands of other candidates you are now creating your own
opportunities so next to things that will make hiring managers disregard your
lack of experience so the first is interview skills themselves so they're
not something that many people have taken the time to actually master and
actually learn about not many people take the time to study how to actually
prepare for an interview like a pro for example or how to come across
confidently or how to really stand out and stand in their worth in interviews
so when someone comes along that does all those things and impresses them by
bringing value then they're not so concerned about the person's experience
if they connect with somebody the truth is likeability is can be more important
than skills intelligence or experience so the person who's most likeable will
get preference it's simply how it is because we're humans interviewers cannot
help themselves it's usually subconscious because they're only human
too you might think this is unfair or even unprofessional way to choose
somebody and you would make that given the choice between someone who's highly
confident yet unpleasant to deal with versus somebody who's extremely likeable
but not very smart the obvious choice would be to choose
the competent jerk for lack of a better word right well I thought so too
however it turns out that there's a study done by Harvard Business Review
that shows people say they choose the competent jerk in theory but in practice
they actually pick the lovable fool for many reasons even though interviewers
don't like to admit this even to themselves the lovable fool wins so here
are some examples some little sound bites from this study and I'll link it
up below so you can check it out if somebody is liked his or her colleagues
will seek out every little bit of competence that he or she has to offer
and the second one is sometimes it can be difficult to pry the needed
information from the jerk simply because he is a jerk so likability is one of
those things that can literally trump your lack of experience and there are
other things as well so I specialize in this how
new grads freshers with this so I've learned and seen all the tricks that
work so the second key is failing to make that connection so with people in
the room a priority with those interviewers with the person you're
speaking to is you want to relate with them and you want to connect with them
and the easiest way to do that I found is through flattery so through flattery
and through stories people are very drawn to people who give them genuine
compliments and the great thing about it is you don't need experience to give
genuine compliments you just need a little practice okay so next the key
ingredient most new graduates are lacking in an interview that often cost
them the job so the key ingredient you might think is a little easier said than
done but I'm talking about good old
confidence if you shall confidently you can be sure that they're gonna feel that
confidence that you have in yourself and it's gonna pass on into bear minds as a
confident person to bring on board for the role the way that you bring
confidence to an interview is there being better prepared than anyone else
now depending on you there are different things that you'll want to do prepare
one is company specific research another is prepare your study about answers
preparation is the antidote to fear so when you're able to really see yourself
as that confident person in your mind and you show up in the interview well
compared with that era of confidence your lack of experience slowly melts
away so my mission here is making sure that you are not settling for less
because the truth is you don't have to I push my students to really raise the bar
for themselves and shoot for more than they thought they deserved so that's
what my message is all about and that's what my goal is for you to impact as
