Hi Superstar,
Have you ever heard of the phrase "It's not what you know, but who you know"? It's a saying that's been around for a long time, and it holds true in many aspects of life, including the job market. When it comes to landing a job, it's not always the most qualified candidate that gets the job. Sometimes, it's the person who is the most likeable.
Being likeable is a skill that can take you far in life. It's the ability to connect with people on a personal level, to make them feel at ease and comfortable. Likeable people are often described as being friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to. They have a certain charisma that draws people to them.
In the job market, being likeable can make all the difference. It can set you apart from other candidates and make you the top choice for a job. Employers want to hire people they like and get along with. They want someone who will fit in with the team and contribute to a positive work environment.
This is where the 25th job wonder come in. These are the people who may not have the most impressive resumes or qualifications, but they have that special something that makes them likeable. They are the ones who get the job because of their personality, not their skills.
Of course, this doesn't mean that skills and qualifications don't matter. They certainly do. However, when two candidates are equally qualified, the one who is more likeable will often get the job.
So, how can you become more likeable and increase your chances of getting the job? Here are some tips:
Make Eye Contact with your Interviewer
This can be a little bit difficult especially if you are the shy type but eye contact is a good way of building a connection. When you’re on a video call, it’s easy to get distracted and start looking away. But if you’re looking away, it’s hard for your interviewer to feel connected to you. Instead, make sure you’re looking directly at the camera. This will help create a feeling of trust and connection, which will make you more likeable.
Smile and Use Positive Body Language
Smiling and using positive body language are two other important ways to be likeable during a remote interview. Smiling is a universal sign of friendliness and positivity, and it will make your interviewer feel more at ease. As for body language, make sure you’re sitting up straight and leaning in towards your computer. This will show your interviewer that you’re engaged and interested in the conversation.
Speak Clearly and confidently
Speaking clearly and confidently is another great way to make a good impression during a remote interview. Make sure you’re enunciating your words and speaking at a natural pace. This will help your interviewer understand you better and make you sound more likeable.
Be Genuine and Authentic
Being genuine and authentic is key to being likeable in any situation, and remote interviews are no exception. Don’t be afraid to show your personality and be yourself. This will make you much more relatable and likeable to your interviewer.
Show Gratitude and appreciation
Showing gratitude and appreciation is another great way to be likeable during a remote interview. Expressing your gratitude for the opportunity to interview will make your interviewer feel appreciated and valued. This will go a long way in making a good impression.
Ask Questions
Asking questions is a great way to show your interest in the job and the company. It will also help you learn more about the role and the company, which will make you more likeable. Just make sure to ask thoughtful and relevant questions that will help you gain a better understanding of the position.
Be Prepared
Lastly, preparation is one of the best ways to be likeable during a remote interview. Make sure you’ve done your research and have all the necessary information ready. This will show your interviewer that you’re serious about the job and that you’re prepared to go the extra mile.
Being likeable during a remote interview is essential if you want to make a great impression. By following the tips above, you’ll be able to stand out and increase your chances of getting the job. Good luck!
