Comment on: Blog Post 'INTERVIEWER VS. INTERVIEWEE: Who is interviewing who?': to convince to consider your job opportunity. So don’t confuse this candidate with say the one who desperately wants to work for you. They are not going to come across the table at you. They will have pointed questions about this job only you, the hiring manager, can answer. Remember, it’s our dime—I called them representing you. They will respond to your questions regarding their qualifications, but don’t take it personal if is seems they’re interviewing you—because they are. They still need to be sold on the opportunity. Look at it this way—if they fit the bill relative to what you’re looking for, then let’s try to steal them away from their current employer. Outstanding candidates are “outstanding” for a reason and many know they're in demand. As the front-end recruiting professional--I've done the sourcing, pre-screening and have already started the WOOING process. My worry is that if I pass the candidate forward to WIMPY or GRUMPY...all can be lost. So, I’m happy to remind a hiring manager and/or HR rep—confirm the fit and then begin the wooing process. I've seen outstanding candidates pull-out of the evaluation process simply because someone wanted to conduct a STRESS INTERVIEW so that the candidate involved actually told it me, "It felt like the Spanish Inquisition...I have a great job...who needs this crap?"…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 5:18pm on August 2, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Personality VS Qualified': n out with few exceptions. Most hiring managers will look for capability and compatibility as best they can judge and validate those factors. Personality, by the way, can be good, bad or indifferent. Some jobs/workplaces thrive on one over the other which may confuse you if you assume that a pleasant, vivacious personality should always have the advantage. For example, I placed a person with previous problems with co-workers and supervision and past terminations. However he was ideal for a highly classified job in a vault on 3rd shift. There was no human contact just computer input responsibilities. His personality sucked and his qualifications were perfect for that job and employer, whereas a person who thrives on human interaction would not do so well in such a role. And I would caution on the assumption "that it really isn't a tough world out there". Because it actually is a tough and demanding world out there if you cannot adapt to changes and challenges that will be coming down the road. Today you can have the best job, supervisor and coworkers only to see them changed out under new management six months later. Yes, bring your passion and positive attitude to the job interview, and to the job and workplace—and be a top performer. Those dynamics will go a long way in keeping you employed and on a growth track...as long as you can avoid being at the wrong place at the wrong time.…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 3:18am on January 21, 2012
