Interview traps

Misunderstanding

Having received the answer to the question, the interviewer can say that he does not understand it. And after your explanation, he may again be something incomprehensible. This is a stress test. You can start to get nervous or even behave aggressively - do not do this. This is part of the game, and you must remain calm. Clarify what is specifically incomprehensible to the interviewer and explain yet, do not lose your temper.
Active listener

Listening to your answer or comment, the interviewer may be very interested: actively nod; constantly say “yes, yes”, “very interesting”; something to take note of you. Usually in such situations, the interviewer thinks quite the opposite. This means that you are talking too long or the information is unnecessary.

Try to put the answer to any question in 1-2 minutes. If you really need to tell a lot - list the main points and say that you can separately give comments on them, if it will be important for employment - you will be asked.
Pauses

In any business conversation you need to be able to keep pauses, including during the interview. For example, after you have answered a question, the interviewer may be silent for a long time, as if waiting for a continuation. In this case, you should not feel embarrassed and try to supplement your story with unnecessary or empty information. Quietly wait for the next question.
Frankness

The interviewer can be very friendly to you so that you feel more relaxed. In such an atmosphere, you can say a lot of superfluous, and it can cost you work. Be careful not to fall into this trap.
Provocation

You can talk for a long time about your past experience, responsibilities and achievements, and the interviewer, after listening carefully, will ask: “So you practically did not do this?” Such provocations can be used during stressful interviews and can unsettle anyone. You need to answer calmly and confidently: "No, you misunderstood me." Remember to show goodwill and confidence.

Why employers do not report the result of the interview

It is believed that the employer must necessarily inform the candidate of the results of the interview, whatever they may be. Alas, this often does not happen. Employers explain their silence in different ways: lack of time, lack of ability to ring up a large number of candidates, etc. But what should applicants do in this case, does prolonged silence mean refusal? Should I take the initiative? Work recommends an analysis of the overall situation. How did everything go Remember all the questions during the interview, your answers, the interviewer's reactions and, based on this, evaluate your chances of success. If you understand that everything went not so smoothly, then waiting for an answer will be less painful. If everything went well enough and the interviewer's reaction was positive, it is worth taking the initiative. According to psychologists, forming an opinion about the candidate takes several minutes. During the rest of the conversation, the interlocutor confirm...
