I have a student who encountered a question during a recent job search process:

I went to a company for an interview. During the interview, I was ready to be hired, but I couldn't wait for the offer. Later, I learned from friends who worked in the company. On the third day of his interview, a new person had already joined...

It was obvious that they had negotiated employment, but in the end they didn't want it!

Have you encountered a similar situation?

In fact, this situation is commonplace in the recruitment of employers.

A positive attitude during an interview cannot completely determine whether a job seeker is eventually hired or not.

The main reasons are as follows:

> > 1. The interviewer does not have the final decision: >

In many companies, hiring decisions are based on the boss,

Even if the interviewer in the employing department is an executive, even if the TA is very satisfied with you, it is no bigger than the boss's veto power.

The reason behind:

Perhaps it is because the employer did not agree to the salary set for you by the employing department;

It may also be the job preparation of the recruitment, but the boss did not pass it at all;

Or maybe it is the recruitment standard of the leader, and the boss does not agree;

……

In short, the leader of the employing department originally wanted to "cut first and then play", but in the end it was unsuccessful.

> > Second, the latecomers come first: >

Under normal circumstances, employers will not interview only one job applicant.

Moreover, the psychology of the interviewer always hopes that "the next job applicant will be better".

So, even if you are the right candidate, even if the interviewer has already decided to hire you,

But TA will not give up interviewing the next one.

Perhaps, among the candidates you interview afterward, someone is a better fit than you.

More suitable reasons may be lower salary requirements, deeper qualifications, or - better internal relations...

> > 3. Background investigation: >

Many people apply for a job, and often pass the interview pass, but fail to pass the [background check] pass.

Even if you pass the interview and are determined to be hired,

However, HR needs to conduct in-depth screening and confirmation of you through background checks.

It may also be that the job seeker exaggerated in the interview, or it may be that someone in the original unit perpetrated it.

As a result, all the affirmations in the interview were rejected.

> > 4. Personal inappropriate behavior: >

Some job seekers, after being confirmed for employment, made some inappropriate behaviors, which led to being abandoned by the employer.

for example:

Some people have not yet joined the job, or even received an offer, and can't wait to change their social media identities to positions in new companies;

Some people are eager to learn about the new company, and they ask around, they are informed by the employer, and they are very disgusted;

Some people have not yet joined the job, they have begun to make various requirements, or make various inappropriate commands and requirements to future subordinates;

……

In short,

In the process of applying for a job, as long as you haven't received an offer from the employer, as long as you haven't really stepped into the company, any good feeling or affirmative reply will not mean that you have succeeded.

So, do a good job interview, but don't get too excited! ! !
