Why did Bob get a job offer and Joe
didn’t? A true story.
Bob was
ready for his interview. He wore a suit and tie, shined shoes, a portfolio that
included extracopies of his resume, his accomplishments, a list of questions, and
letters of recommendations.
Joe came
into the interview not wearing a tie; no copies of his resume, shoes scuffed
up, and chewed gum.
Bob did his
homework. He researched our company, he
knew our big “opportunities”, studied the managers that he would be
interviewing with, communicated how he could add value, was likable, and asked
for the job.
Joe assumed
that since we found him on LinkedIn, that he would coast through the hiring
process.
Bob sent
follow up thank you e-mails and hand written thank you cards.
Joe never
followed up.
Bob starts
in two weeks.
