Do you know when to schedule your interview with Hiring Manager?
This is for all people who believes you have it in you but still unable to crack the interview. I am not telling you about grooming tips, communication tips or any other X factor which you help you succeed.
This article will be helpful for candidates appearing for interviews.
I have seen a pattern of not selecting someone or selecting a candidate during interview drives. Mind you, I am giving a generic view but this works on your psychology of the Hiring Manager.
Well, a thought triggered when I was back in Baroda (My hometown) last winter. People from Tibet come and make their set up to sell winter wears. Good and cost effective buys. Shops were in vertical fashion, one next to another. At times when you stand and see and ask for some jacket, the shopkeeper would politely say “Sir, not ours, you need to ask the other shopkeeper “. You can term it as open market or window shopping. You would see many people just coming trying winter wears and moving on to the next shop.
Huge number of people would pour into the premises and while they enter, they would just see clothes,
Jackets, accessories and move onto the next shop. Once they reach halfway they start negotiating and buying some clothes. Since, I had nothing to buy & was just accompanying my family, I observed this pattern very carefully that people actually just see clothes in first few shops and then while they are in the midway they start buying.
This triggered a thought, in Recruitment drives, when we start the interviews, while showcasing profiles,
Resumes to Hiring Manager will not select candidates in the first few interviews. He would start selecting candidates once he is in the halfway through. There are always exceptions.
It might happen that one visits for interview on a weekday, unknowing of the fact that people in Corporates are always found busy in the first half of the day. Chances of getting through are little less
In that case. I would suggest going in the second half of the day, where the HM is settled down in his work, one gets time for actual conversation. Does not mean, morning time is not a good time, however
That depends on circumstances. Example: If you are aware, that the project is a UK based, then the person might be available in the first half to have a real conversation, rather one sided conversation
Which might not be great in terms of a candidate? So, do a minimum check of project geography,
This will give you a fair idea about the time, when HM is available to have that real conversation.
Mind you,There are exceptions everywhere.
