Are You Getting Interviews But Not The Job?

Has your CV earned you interviews with several employers but none of those interviews has yielded a job offer?

You’ve done your interview preparation. You’ve shown up on time and dressed in appropriate interview attire. But somewhere between your CV and the face-to-face meeting, you’ve failed to deliver. 

Truth is, job interviews can be daunting and how you perform on the actual day will greatly determine whether you’ll smile all the way to your new job or not.

Where could you be failing?

During a mock interview coaching session, this lady was battling with interview anxiety. She got sweaty palms, lost confidence in skills she’d mastered for 5 years, and lost content. 

This could be what is hindering you from securing the job. If identified, you can easily get over these interview anxieties through thorough interview coaching.

4 reasons why it is time to consult an interview coach

1. Employers severally contact you for interviews but never call you for the job

The whole point of an interview is to eventually get you the job offer because if you nailed it on paper, why not in person?

You keep coming out of interviews thinking that they went very well, only for you to be rejected time and time again.

To make matters worse, your recruiter is not giving you detailed feedback and you are not clear on where you may be going wrong.

If you are interviewing for what feels like an eternity with no job offers, something is clearly off and needs to be corrected

2. Anxiety attacks at the thought of the actual interview day

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not answering the question that is asked or giving out irrelevant definitions.

Majorly, rumbling is caused by interview anxiety which normally has no base. As much as nerves are natural, learning to control them becomes the only channel to interview success

3. Lack of knowledge on how to answer common interview questions

For instance, questions around salary expectations can either make or break your ability to receive the salary you deserve.

How you get around the answers showcases your expertise in getting around challenging obstacles at the workplace.

4. All interviews you attend take shorter than the scheduled time

Have you ever wondered why your interviews always take a shorter time than scheduled compared to the interviewees before you? Did you assume this was normal since you just don’t talk as much?

Well, the several short interviews might be clear indicators that something needs to be done.

With this in mind, a good interview coach can spend one on one time with you to understand your experience, strengths, and weaknesses and then coach you on how to draw these things out during an interview.

They train you on how to deliver exactly what the interviewer is looking for. A good understanding of these key things is a great leeway to nailing an interview.
