🗳️An election is a job interview, and we are the hiring managers. I have taught thousands of hiring managers how to interview better, let me teach you how. @Anna Papalia   🧐There are 3 common biases in job interviews that you need to be careful of   1️⃣The Self-Fulfilling Prophesy Bias- Once interviewers have made an initial judgement about a candidate, they tend to look for evidence to support their conclusion. If they like you, they tend to interpret your responses more favorably than if their initial reaction is less favorable. This bias can also be acting even before you enter the room: if you are an interviewer's top candidate, he or she will look for actions and responses on your part that tend to confirm the initial judgment.   2️⃣ The Similar-to-Me Effect- Research has clearly shown that interviewers and supervisors have an unconscious tendency to favor people who are physically and professionally similar to them. This is one of the factors that holds women and minorities back in the working world. Mentors often select protégés that are similar to themselves. And job interviewers tend to favor candidates who are like them. Since this is a hard bias to overcome in the interview setting, I advise people to be themselves but to look for any areas of potential overlap between them and their interviewers.   3️⃣ The Halo Effect- Interviewers often cannot help associating success in one endeavor with an overall tendency for success in general. From a rational point of view, there is no reason to expect that a person who was, say, All-State Track Champion would be an excellent engineer, but many interviewers tend to be positively biased toward people successful in anything. This is an example of a bias that you may be able to work to your advantage. While it is not generally appropriate to put hobbies and outside activities in your resume, it is appropriate to describe honors and awards, even if they are nonprofessional in nature. By slipping in some of these "outstanding achievements" you may gain some of the Halo Effect in your interview.   🎯For a full list of biases to avoid when hiring, get an Interviewology Profile for $47 use code September @Anna Papalia   #presidentialdebate #trump #harris #presidentialelection #politics #news #hiring #jobinterview #career #greenscreen
