I\u00a0found a 1965 study at McGill University that found \u00a0hiring authorities made a decision about their hiring or not hiring a candidate in the first four minutes of the interview… That was 1965 and the study was trying to encourage hiring authorities to spend more time interviewing properly…<\/p>\n
I contend that inspite of all the literature, coaching, teaching, training and ‘management development to help managers do a better job of interviewing and hiring, the four minute decision is still not far off from reality…<\/p>\n
No manager or hiring authority is ever really going to admit to this reality… what this teaches a job seeker\u00a0in today’s market is that you’d best make a good impression in the first four minutes of an interview… what you say, your body language, etc. sets the tone for the interview…and may decide on your being hired.<\/p>\n
interviewing takes practice… most candidates don’t practice enough… interviewing doesn’t come naturally…<\/p>\n
So, how would you evaluate the first four minutes of your interviews?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
