What this means is that the idea of hiring the &#8220;best athlete&#8221; we hear about in theory doesn&#8217;t really work in practicality.<\/p>\n<p>I have candidates, daily, explain to me that they know they can do the job they see me post or send to my contacts. They\u00a0 are convinced they would get the job\u00a0because they have been successful in every job they&#8217;ve ever had. The truth is that they probably can do the job but there&#8217;s a difference between being able to do\u00a0the job\u00a0and being able to get it.<\/p>\n<p>What it comes down to is that the candidates\u00a0who are getting hired are the people who can most accurately prove they can provide immediate results for the company they are interviewing with.<\/p>\n<p>Either directly or implicitly, hiring authorities want to know &#8220;what can you do for me&#8230; today&#8230; right now&#8230; not next year, not the year after&#8230; but right now.&#8221; The candidate who can communicate the most confidence in being able to\u00a0provided quick results is usually the favored candidate.<\/p>\n<p>I know this isn&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;fair.&#8221; I see hundreds of candidates who would make excellent employees lose out to &#8220;lesser&#8221; candidates because the lesser candidates interview well and communicate, &#8220;I can make your company better or more profitable&#8230; right now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So the lesson is, the more immediate, positive impact on an organization you can communicate you will have the better your chances of getting hired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spend a lot of my time explaining to people [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>....what can you do for us today!
