The recruitment and selection process is like a lottery for the job candidate. The job candidate can get a job, but the company is the main driver in the whole selection procedure. But every job candidate can improve his or her position in the selection of the new hire.
The job interview is the process, which is defined as keeping it fully professional and without any emotions to select the best new hire, which has best skills and competencies. In reality, the emotions are always behind the whole job interview.
I made more than 6 000 job interviews, all of them on the professional basis and using the modern approach of behavioral job interview, but many times, when I saw the candidate waiting in the meeting room I knew the result.
The HR Recruiter is a person like you and me and the job candidate, who is a real human being, has the advantage of the real person in the front of you. The HR Recruiter likes to share the common emotions and the job candidate has to show them to be successful.
The job candidate has to act professionally, but with the right sense of humor to be shown and interested in people around him or her. No company want to select the job candidate, who is professional, but interested just in work, processes and procedures and leaving the fellows at the job place without any notice.
When you want to win the job, you need to focus on people in the meeting room and you have to show your interest. And you cannot expect to win every single position you choose, as the position can be your dream one, but the people in the organization have a different chemistry.
