🤝🏻RECRUITING TALENT

INTRODUCTION

THE BAD INTERVIEW (video)

🟢WATCH this interview (🖱click here)

Spot all the mistakes made by the candidate before and during the interview: body language, attitude, answers, etc.

Will this candidate land the job?

  • In the waiting room, the candidate has a nonchalant/disrespectful/rude attitude.
  • He is on his phone.
  • He enters the employer’s office and sits without saying hello.
  • He doesn’t …
  • His language is too familiar, and he makes disrespectful/inappropriate remarks.
  • His clothes are too casual = not adapted to a professional meeting.
  • He answers his phone during the interview………….
  • He doesn’t shake hands to say hello or to say goodbye
  • His outfit is too casual = it is not professional
  • He is too arrogant and too sure of himself = he is overconfident
  • He is too self-centred.

🟢Now, rewrite what the candidate SHOULD/ SHOULD NOT DO during a job interview (⚠ SHOULD + BaseVerbale)

HE SHOULD CHANGE/ IMPROVE HIS ATTITUDE

  • HE SHOULDN’T have inappropriate remarks.
  • HE SHOULD WEAR A CLEANER, MORE PROFESSIONAL OUTFIT
  • HE SHOULD BE MORE FOCUSED
  • HE SHOULDN’T ANSWER HIS PHONE DURING THE JOB INTERVIEW → HE SHOULD TURN OFF HIS PHONE
  • HE SHOULD BE MORE MODEST = LESS SURE OF HIMSELF
  • HE SHOULDN’T TALK ABOUT THE WAGE EXPECTATIONS.
  • HE SHOULD SAY HELLO AND GOODBYE.

💡Transposer au passé:

He answers his phone
→ He should not/ shouldn’t answer his phone.
→ He should turn off his phone (il devrait éteindre son téléphone)

He answered his phone during this interview
→ He SHOULD HAVE TURNED off his phone ((il aurait dû éteindre son téléphone)
→ He SHOULD NOT/ SHOULDN’T have answered his phone
