SUMMARY:HOW STAFFING REALLY WORKS (and what job hunters really need)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Jeff Garton\, Author\, Speaker and Founder of Career Contentment\, Inc.\n\n\n\n     Perplexing to job hunters\, and often frustrating\, is when they are qualified for the position but don't get hired.  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\nCan 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\nMore than 85% of job hunters are guilty of puffery or exaggeration.\n\nPolished image does not guarantee good performance.\n\nCompelling resumes could be written by professional service firms.\n\nImpressive credentials can be purchased.\n\nPersuasive communication skills may be compensating for weak performance skills.\n\n \n\nAccording to Harvard researchers\, genuine likeability stems from mindfulness which is \n\nmore difficult to fake than image\, credentials\, or experience.  The lack of mindfulness or \n\ncharisma 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.
