<p>Wow, Maisha, some powerful thoughts and a great point about the long-term unemployed. I think we sometimes have the luxury of judging people who are under a great deal of stress. Would the same qualified people act the same 12 years ago? Probably not. So me thinks that saying I was unemployed around your time of unemployment is like saying, "I feel your pain" when I had a blister and today's jobseekers have a migraine.</p>
<p>This topic is enough to make me want to drink. </p>

<p>Thanks, Maisha--</p>
<p>I speak on campuses and to interested groups often and remind students and others to be prepared for the best and the worst in the job interview process. That they will be exposed to professional interviewers, complete idiots and everything in between. So keep your cool, do your best, and do not be deterred by the downside of a negative interview or interviewer experience. </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing this and that.</p>

<p>Bob,</p>
<p>I like your visual here and your good advice for jobseekers who want to make a good impression on recruiters, hiring managers and others involved in the recruitment process. </p>
<p>I also feel this advice can and should be applied to recruiters who should be mindful of their attitude when dealing with jobseekers. </p>
<p>For example: </p>

<p>I also feel this advice can and should be applied to recruiters who should be mindful of their attitude when dealing with jobseekers. </p>
<p>For example: </p>
<p>1). Do not be arrogant simply because you can be arrogant as the interviewer.</p>
<p>2). Respect the employer you represent because giving a bad impression, apparel wise, as a recruiter is memorable and can have repercussions.</p>
<p>3). Present a “professional” demeanor because a giving an unprofessional impression reflects on you and your employer/client.</p>
<p>4). Yes, "Be outgoing” and friendly…it can be contagious.</p>
<p>5). Yes, "Mind your manners”, as well. Just because you have the power to reject an unqualified candidate does not give you the right to insult or disrespect any interviewee—directly or indirectly.</p>
<p>6). If you recognize desperation or despondency in a job candidate be careful. Extremely stressed people are like time-bombs. All some need is a little push to go ballistic. So be on your best behavior recruiters. People on the edge are super sensitive to body language and verbal nuances that can be misinterpreted. </p>
