Went to two job interviews recently, one of 'em just e-mailed me a few hours ago saying that they gave the spot to someone else. The job interview I went to this morning did not go well.
I was a little bummed out but now I feel much better. Oh, well, gotta keep tryin'...
I remember when I was hired at Sega and a interview moment I and my future department bead never forgot.
That odd moment of silence that creeps in when a employer asks if you if you have any questions. Less than a second later I replied 'When do I start?"... That really caught him off guard as most people are rather timid under pressure in a situation that they are not control of.
Take the bull by the horns and stand out, make them feel that they need you instead of being in a room of others who may take another potential chance from you.
They liked my response and acting like I'd be starting the following Monday. Just as important as I teach most doctors and staff to treat the patient instead of the paperwork. It makes a huge difference in how a doctor / patient relationship works. Allowing trust without transference. Still a long article I'm working on hoping to get published in the future.
Long story short, confidence goes a long way even in the most awkward situations.
Best of luck on the job front!
