7 Reasons Why Employers Avoid Candidates

Is it a familiar situation for you: passed a lot of job interviews, sent a great number of CVs, but still did not reach the desired result?

 The employer rejects every third candidate and many of them do not understand why they did not get the job yet.
Perhaps you belong to the category of candidates that employers are trying to avoid.

 Usually, the reason lies in common mistakes and many people do not pay attention to them.

1. Over Excitement.

How to cope with excitement during the job interview? This issue is discussed by hundreds of thousands of job seekers who have failed to get a job because of uncontrollable emotions.

However, there are a few recommendations that may help cope with your fears.

Firstly, prepare yourself psychologically and stay in a positive mood. Take a few deep breaths.

A great number of candidates are worried only because of the fear of rejection.

Nevertheless, you will get an invaluable experience and a negative response will help open up new opportunities in other companies and organizations.

Secondly, imagine that the employer is a simple human with his/her needs and habits and the interview is just a conversation of two friends.

 Remember that the manager is your possible business partner and no fear and excitement should be present in such cooperation.

Be confident in your abilities and your dream to find a good post will come true!

2. Untruthful information about yourself.

Due to certain circumstances the job seeker is sometimes forced to lie about you to meet the requirements of the company management.

However, such untruth is not always appropriate and can lead to unfortunate consequences.

Usually applicants add a fictional work experience, achievements and skills.

 But even if the employer were not able to test your professional abilities, your career in the organization would be finished after the termination of the probationary period.

The main mistake of many candidates is that they underestimate the item “Job requirements” and consider that many professional skills are possible to be learned during the job process.

3. The absence of a definite purpose.

Any respectable company will not hire a person who has no idea that goal he/she would like to reach.
Uncertainty indicates a non-professional worker.

 It is very important for the employer to demonstrate that you have not only clear opinion, but imagine what purposes you want to achieve in the company.

Continuous self-education and self-cultivation will help you climb the corporate ladder.

4. Overvalued or undervalued level of wages.

Many employers are not ready to pay high wages for those workers who only start their career in the company.

But at the time it is not clear why some managers scare the ability to pay a low price for a job.

  The main part of the HR-managers point out that the low salary expectations is most likely associated with a lack of insufficient professional training and the absence of a material interest.

We recommend you to get know the average wages for the desired post in your region of residence before filling a resume.

If there is any doubt, it is better to leave this item empty, which will point out that your salary is discussed under the arrangement.

5. Unsuccessful self-presentation.

Interview is a good chance to show your best professional and personal qualities.

However, a large number of job seekers miss a great opportunity to find a good post because of the negative impression of the employer about the candidate.

Prepare for the interview in advance and think over the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Talk more about your positive qualities and at the same try to turn disadvantages into advantages.

 For example, such trait of character as scrupulousness can be said as “the constant control of all affairs to the smallest detail”. It will be a very good answer for those who are trying to find a job in an engineering company.

Avoid the using of slang and complicated terminology in your speech.

Select appropriate clothes which would highlight your personality, but at the same time it shouldn’t be too strict or bright.

6. Bad manners.

Manners of behavior are another criterion to which the employer pays a lot of attention and evaluates most of the candidates.

Remember some rules in order to pass a job interview successfully.

First of all, come for an interview before the appointed time, turn off the sound of a mobile phone, greet and introduce yourself before the beginning of the dialogue.

7. Speak clearly and confidently and do not interrupt the conversation.

Avoid closed poses, do not cross your arms and legs. Do not sit at the edge of the chair or lounging in an armchair.

All The Best.
