"Well 'yes', you've certainly got the sort of experience, qualifications and communication skills we're looking for in this role......but I'm afraid we just don't think you're suitable!"
Ouch! Have you ever experienced this sort of feedback during or after an interview? What do they mean by 'suitable'?
Without the luxury of any qualitative support, the interviewer's 'gut feel' has been that the Job-Seeker's personality (ie, their attitude and value-set) just hasn't matched what they were looking for in the role and/or the company.
Were they wrong? Perhaps. It would be impossible for you to convey a full set of behaviour traits in an interview. The solution, therefore, is to provide the interviewer with a 'My Profile' personality assessment beforehand. This independently produced and professionally presented behavioural profile will:
- assist you by providing valuable insight into your own behavioural style.
- identify your strengths and those roles you'd be suited to (and conversely where you are not so strong and those roles to avoid).
- support you in your job applications, verifying that your strengths actually do match the criteria of the person sought.
- provide a very significant advantage over those you are competing with.
Whilst in the past such assessments were rarely undertaken due to their associated cost and lengthy onsite testing times, technological advancements have now made it possible for everyone to afford their own personality profiles - and to have the results available immediately!
My Profile is not a test - you simply select words which you 'MOST LIKE' and 'LEAST LIKE'. It will take you under 15 minutes to complete and will provide your profile to your email address for you to keep and print as often as you wish and use as an integral part of your resume presentation.
