I cannot tell you how many times I\u2019ve heard candidates answer hiring authority salaried questions with, \u201cit\u2019s not relevant\u201d. It usually comes from candidates that have totally screwed up the interview process. Typically, hiring authorities become less interested immediately after such an abrupt answer from a candidate.\u00a0 This week not only was the hiring authority taken back with such a response but also had to take defense when the candidate began a minor argument.<\/p>\n
When I debriefed the candidate regarding why he irritated the hiring authority in such a manner, his response was “I really didn’t want the job anyhow.”\u00a0 When I was younger, in the recruiting business, I used to get upset with such candidates but now I just refuse to assist them any longer.<\/p>\n
Comments like, “that’s not relevant” are both rude and a poor interviewing habit.\u00a0 If you are a candidate, always contemplate how to sell yourself to get the job offer.<\/p>\n
Good candidates cover the basics by always making a good impression and maintaining a polite demeanor.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cannot tell you how many times I\u2019ve heard candidates […]<\/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":"\n
