The big interview ‘No No’

An interview 'No No'

An interview 'No No'

Hi guys,

One of my excellent Candidates was just told yesterday he was unsuccessful in his 2nd interview.

I was very surprised as he ticked all the boxes and had performed very well in his first interview  and the feedback from it had been very positive.

I insisted on getting feedback for him and they told me he talked about his current Employer on three occasions in the interview and each time it was in a negative light.

This left them feeling they could not trust him.

Wow – lesson learnt and a very good point.

For all you job seekers out there, while this is such an Employers market, be very careful to make note of this and to never make such a simple mistake.

Being pipped at the post…..

Interview successOne of my Candidates who was the hot favourite for one of my Medical Clients got pipped at the post today by a Candidate working for  my Client’s competitor. It was a real shame for my Candidate as he had done an excellent presentation in his second interview and was well liked by the Sales Manager.

Breaking that sort of news on the eve of St Patrick’s Day is not really what rocks my boat. My feeling after today’s experience is that the bar has been raised yet again for Candidates seeking Medical Sales  positions.

The message today is that if you work for a competitor of any of the companies you are seeking new employment with, you are in with a very good chance of getting the job.
