Just as we are demanding and we only want to work in wonderful companies, these companies are also very selective in the type of people they recruit.
It has been mistakenly thought that, in an interview, recruiters are only looking for you to fill the job profile of the vacancy.
There are many other things that are unknowingly evaluated, and to your surprise if you meet those requirements 100%, they will probably make you a job offer even if you don't fully fill your professional profile. That is why many recruiters ask you strange, tricky questions about your family and take psychometric tests to find out what interests them most about you: your personality and your potential.
Unfortunately, people who have been looking for a job for a long time, who have gone through many interviews and the long-awaited job offer never arrives, think that it is the situation of the country, the crisis or the economy without thinking that they are showing a deficient image., an image that prevents them from being able to place themselves in a job that meets their expectations, when it is they who do not meet the expectations of the company. Just as we are demanding and we only want to fall into wonderful, transnational companies, with a thousand benefits, with possibilities for development and a wonderful work environment, these companies are also very selective in the type of people they recruit; And if they have all the candidates in the world queuing up and fighting to get into them, they will be more demanding.
What makes a candidate look wonderful in the eyes of a recruiter?
Simply questions of personal improvement, to which very few people give importance. How is it possible that some are aspiring to a position at the management level and come to the interview with a polyester shirt and dirty nails? Who do they want to convince of their charisma and leadership when they don't even know how to speak properly, shake hands firmly, and look them in the eye with confidence? So do not complain that it is the situation, the weather, the interviewer or bad luck, when it is they who personally did not know how to overcome themselves at the same speed that they were professionally overcome.
The three profiles that the interviewers are evaluating are the following:
Personal profile:
Who you are? How do you feel about yourself? How sure are you of yourself? Are you nice, polite, friendly and charming? To see this they evaluate the following:
- Push: results-oriented, desire to meet goals Motivation: enthusiasm and interest in work and in the company. Companies know that a motivated person accepts new challenges and is willing to go the extra mile. Both oral and written communication skills, being clear and consistent in their ideas. Self-confidence, someone who smiles, who knows how to relate effectively to high and low levels of the company, aimed at working effectively as a team. vTenacity: someone who knows how to overcome obstacles.Friendly: honest, neither too trusting nor hermetic.Presentation: personal grooming, clothing, etc.
Professional profile:
All companies seek employees who respect their work, their bosses, and their profession.
- Responsible: someone who knows how to remove the earrings without being filled with excuses or guilty for not having the job done. Someone who takes responsibility that things go well in the stipulated time, maintaining direct communication with their bosses. Whole: that they take responsibility for their actions and decisions, both good and bad, wear the company shirt and that the decisions they make are for the benefit of it, not by whim or individual convenience. Dedicated: pay attention to detail, do the job in the best possible way without excuses. With analytical skills: someone who makes decisions based on evaluations of Pros and cons, not making visceral decisions, that assesses the results and consequences of decisions in the short, medium and long terms.knowing how to listen and ask in case of doubt, understanding and acceptance of the opinions of others.
Management Profile
These are the skills that demonstrate that they have the vision to detect opportunities that benefit the company (increased sales, cost savings, procedural improvements).
- Efficiency: that they remain alert so that there is no waste of resources, time and effort. Economy: almost all problems have two solutions, the face and the one that the company prefers to use. Procedures: procedures exist to keep the company profitable and efficient. Hierarchies are not provided, it respects the policies of the company or collaborates to implement them. Profitability: the raison d'être of each company is to generate the highest possible income operating in accordance with its mission. The executive who keeps this in mind does not waste time on insignificant details, but maintains an overall idea of the goals and is consistent in all his actions to achieve them.
