When you are looking for a job you need every advantage you can get.
Why Hire You is written by two working human resource executives, who use what they see every day in HR offices across the country, to bring you information that's most relevant for what's happening right now. They see what top candidates do to stand out and impress organizations, as well as the unfortunate mistakes that can cause a job search to drag on.
Why Hire You shares what the best people out there are doing to get themselves hired and what's going on inside the company throughout the hiring process, which can often be confusing and frustrating for job seekers. Here's a glimpse:
- Many companies use applicant tracking systems to manage the hundreds of resumes they receive, learn how these systems work!
- It's quite common for hiring managers to use a technique called behavioral-based interviewing. Understand the best way to prepare for this style of interview so that you instantly separate yourself from the pack.
- When you go on interviews that you feel went well and don't hear back, recognize that there could be several reasons that have nothing to do with you!
In this quick read, you will discover a simple, three step approach called the A3 model that you can apply immediately to accelerate your job search. Using clear direction and relatable stories, you will better understand what you bring to the table, and how to quickly package that in a way that you will stand out from other qualified candidates.
