What they may not understand is that likeability "fit" can be based on qualifications that are not always apparent. Ultimately\, staffing is by invitation only and employers are not obligated to hire anyone they don't like.\n\n Can a job hunter enhance their likeability with good credentials\, an updated resume\, polished image\, elevator speech\, or practiced interview skills? Maybe - but not if he or she lacks the right attitude to fit with existing personalities or the mental skills to perform well despite challenges. Employers don't simply look for good reasons to like job hunters (weed in). They look for good reasons not to like job hunters (weed out)\, and here are some of those reasons: \n\n\n \n More than 85% of job hunters are guilty of puffery or exaggeration.\n \n \n Polished image does not guarantee good performance.\n \n \n Compelling resumes could be written by professional service firms.\n \n \n Impressive credentials can be purchased.\n \n \n Persuasive communication skills may be compensating for weak performance skills.\n\n According to Harvard researchers\, genuine likeability stems from mindfulness which is more difficult to fake than image\, credentials\, or experience. The lack of mindfulness or charisma is noticeable via a job hunter's written and spoken words\, and is the basis for an interviewer's intuitive decisions. The good news for job hunters is that mindfulness skills can be developed. \n\n Join us on October 2 at 10:15AM for an up-to-date discussion on the topic of mindfulness and how to strengthen your likeability for success despite challenges in the new economy. \n\n CRC's October 2014 Calendar of Events is sponsored by Price Insurance www.
