12/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
A common question when interview is, "What should I wear?" The outfit in the interview is generally seen as the first impression. Many employers make judgments based on attire and presentation. Social psychologist researchers have conducted numerous studies that show luxury brands show higher status but can backfire if employers are looking for intangibles of "warmth".

What We Think?
  • EvereTech HR professionals suggest you should wear your "Sunday Best" outfit to a job interview
  • Men wear a suit and/or shirt and/or tie
  • Females wear a pant/dress suit, and/or a professional dress 
  • Make sure outfit matches 
  • Make sure clothes fit
  • Make sure clothes are ironed and/or pressed
  • Do not wear any flashy colors or designs 
  • Make sure shoes are polished

More and more employers are moving to artificial intelligence (AI) to review and scan resumes. This is discouraging when applicants spend hours online researching companies, polishing their resume to be "weeded out by robots. There are many ways to beat the robots such as using relevant resume titles, and tailoring the choice of words to meet the company requirements. Sue Shellanbarger from the Wall Street Journal posted a recent article highlighting ways to beat the robots and increase odds for hiring. Article link here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/make-your-job-application-robot-proof-11576492201
Ways to Increase Odds vs Employer Robots:
  • Network to build contacts inside the company who will put in a good word for you.
  • Use a text-based app like Word for your online application, rather than a PDF or other format.
  • Include in your résumé keywords and phrases from the employer’s job posting.
  • Quantify past results, citing dollars earned or other stats.
  • Camouflage brief gaps in work history by listing years only, rather than years and months.
  • List job titles in a way that shows increasing responsibility and status.
