And to employers, if you want to know the real potential of a candidate, don't just test their knowledge, understand their perspective. To job seekers, remember, it's as much about you finding the right company as it is about them finding the right candidate. It's not about getting the right or wrong answers but about finding the right fit. Job interviews should be more about understanding the candidate as a person and their approach to work rather than just their ability to answer tough questions. I felt less stressed, more calm, and confident.Īfter having both of these interviews here's my thoughts: I was able to express my skills and experiences in a comfortable, natural manner. These interviews allowed me to relax and think clearly. We discussed my experiences - from my time as a System Administrator at ACS Solutions,, to my role at Smile Business Products. Instead, the interviewers wanted to understand me, my work style, and my thought process. I wasn't put on the spot with difficult technical questions or forced to prove my worth in 5 minutes. Recently, I had two job interviews that changed my perspective on the whole process.īoth interviews felt more like conversations rather than high-pressure scenarios.
