9 Reasons, Why People Failed to Get Job Interviews Calls

9 Reasons, Why People Failed to Get Job Interviews Calls

Ashraf Chaudhry, A famous sales trainer, Shared his experience after taking Interviews from thousands Candidates on behalf of different organizations / Companies.

He Says, One day at morning, he received a question from a young man at his social media group that  “Why most of the time HR does not call you (for interview) even having basic criteria mentioned in the job post?”

See CVs & Interviews Tip for Success

Being a HR Professional, Trainer and  interviewer , he highlighted the following reasons that why recruiters and headhunters don’t call people for interviews.

1. Your CV is your brand ambassador. Its sole objective is to make you short-listed in the first round. Your CV has less than 10 seconds to sell you. So, your brand ambassador has to be immaculate and should highlight your “Elevator’s Pitch” in a compelling way. If your brand ambassador is lousy in presentation and shallow in substance, you have no chance for the interview. 


2. A single spelling mistake and grammatical error can put off the recruiter and you will be ignored. While scanning through the CVs, recruiter’s one finger is always on Delete button. 


3. Your CV is irrelevant or is not customized. CV is not One-Size-Fits-All document. You have to do 20-25% customization for each job posting to make it relevant. Guerrilla job hunters read the job advertisement carefully and embed all the key words in the CV to make it appear relevant. 


4. You have not followed instructions. If instructions say “Write name of position in the subject” and you did not, why recruiter should bother to take extra pain and download and open your CV and then decide where to save it. If instructions say “Explain the reasons in favor of your candidature” while you write only one sentence “My CV is attached”, your chances of being called for interview will shrink.  See All New Jobs Vacant in Pakistan


5. If address at your CV is of another city, your chances of initial selection are minimum. Why a recruiter sitting in Karachi and having position in Karachi should call a person from Islamabad for the job interview unless his/her skill-set is absolutely unique? In such cases, you can use guerrilla job hunting tactics to dodge the recruiters. 


6. People from village are mostly discriminated. I have faced this discrimination many times in my executive life. Never write address of smaller city/village at your CV. It is advisable to write address of your current city. If you are based in Karachi but your permanent address is from Toba Tek Singh, no need to write permanent address unless you are applying for positions in nearby big city like Faisalabad. 


7. Some companies are snobbish. They have preconceived favorable judgement for people belonging to posh areas and prejudice against people having address not so glamorous. In case of Karachi, if there is position of Brand Manager with some reasonably successful company, addresses of Laloo Khait, Liaquatabad, Sohrab Goth, Golimar will be discriminated. Guerrilla job hunters play the trick of showing addresses of posh areas. 


8. Business organizations don’t hire insurgents, revolutionaries and disruptionists. Extremists, both religious and libtards, are discriminated. Companies mind their own business. These days, recruiters scan your social media before calling you for interview. Recently, a CEO of big company personally talked to me on this topic that his company has no place for militants, either religious fanatic or bayghairat brigade. Keep your Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter free from extremism. 


9. Being architect of Guerrilla CV, I always advise job hunters to put professional picture on CV in case you are hunting job in Pakistan. (No picture at CVs in case of job hunting in Europe, Americas). If your picture is non-professional, you will be discriminated. We guide our clients of Guerrilla CV with sample pictures.

How to Get Job Easily?

Things should Be done Before Your Next Interview and Get the Job

Interview prep is tricky not because you don't know what to do
to get ready, but because you know too much about what you could do. Before you
get bogged down in endless practice interview questions, make sure you have
these things checked off your pre-interview to-do list.

1.
Research the company.

You
probably know at least a little something about your prospective employer by
the time you make it to the interview stage, or your resume and cover letter
wouldn't have helped you snag the interview. Still, now's the time to make sure
you have a full grasp of the company history, including its mission and
founders, and are up-to-date on its latest news. Start with the corporate
website and the organization's profile in Pay Scale's Research Center, and
then do a Google News search, and take a look at the company's social media
profiles. Know how long they've been around, what challenges they've faced, who
their competitors are. Most importantly, figure out what their problems are --
especially the ones that hiring you would solve.

2.
Investigate your role.

Look up the job title and
find out what responsibilities typically go with that role. Think about your
experience, and how it would fit. Take a salary survey to
determine a salary range. Hopefully, you won't be asked to get into specifics,
but if you are, have an idea of what you'd like to hear and what you'd accept.

3. Get
to know the key people.

If
possible, ask for the names of the people you'll be speaking with, so that you
can look them up on LinkedIn before the interview. If you're interviewing with
folks outside of HR, pay special attention to their background and experience.
Note any points of commonality with your background.

4.
Prepare for common questions.

Avoid
giving canned answers to common interview questions by
concentrating on demonstrating how your skills, experience, and passion can
help the company solve its problems. Practice, but focus more on remembering
your own best qualities than on memorizing pat replies.

5.
Practice confident body language.

Sit up
straight, make (just enough) eye
contact, and shake hands firmly -- in short, practice looking likes someone who
deserves to get the job.

6 Very Common Job Interview Mistakes Must be avoided

6 Common Job Interviews Mistakes which leads you towards rejection

You’ve received the call for an on-site job interview and you are
all excited about meeting and impressing the team of interviewers. But the way you
behave outside the Job interview room also makes a big difference to your
candidature and can easily impact the hiring decision. Here's how to make sure
you're not giving the wrong impression to potential co-workers while you're
waiting to meet the hiring manager.

1.    You arrive late for your interview: Unless
you have a compelling reason to becoming late, like an unavoidable personal emergency -- and it
should be really unavoidable -- don’t be late in interview. It reflects badly on your
professional behavior and work ethic. If you must be late due to unavoidable reason, call your recruiter before time and let him/her know about your late. Follow up with an apology to your
interviewers and share the reason that you are genuinely still interested in the job and try to offer a new schedule for interview that accommodates the needs of the interviewers.



2.  our body language isn’t friendly: 

• You don’t make eye contact with interviewer,


• don’t smile during interview, 


• don’t shake hands with interviewers,


• have a loose grip of hands,


• your hands are firmly locked against your chest.

    These all things shows that you have not enough sense of professionalism and you have a lack of career guideline

3.    You are not appropriately dressed for the job: No,
this is not related to dressing up in a suit or showing up in casuals; it’s about
not following the dress code of the organization you are applying to. Going
over-dressed or too casually dressed both work against you. Ask your recruiter
or point of contact in the organization ahead of time for advice on the dress
code and adhere to it.

    

4.  You are rude to the support staff: Just
because the receptionist or the recruiting coordinator is not interviewing you,
does not mean you can be rude or condescending toward them. As Alison Green lines in US News Agency, “Many
interviewers will ask their receptionist that what they think of you after interview. If you were rude, rough or arrogant with receptionist before or after job interview, that's normally a deal-breaker.” So be polite during all time.

5.    You use inappropriate language: This
is your first interaction with people in the office or that workplace and if you use bad words, profanity,
swear, or use inappropriate wording, you are instantaneously judged by all staff and the
decision on your candidature is already made before your appearance in interview. In this case you will not get a call back from that office.

6. You bad mouth for your Previous employer: Even if it is a water cooler discussion or an informal chat with your coordinator before the interview starts, if you use bad-mouth about your current or previous employers or criticize your previous managers, it shows that you lack a sense of   professional decorum.
