Why Interviews Go Sideways & How to Avoid It

In this session we'll talk about why interviews go sideways. It’s usually not your experience. It’s not your resume. And it’s definitely not because “no one is hiring.”

It’s because interviews are one of the few places where talking more actually hurts you. Most candidates don’t get rejected. They talk themselves out of the job while the interviewer is thinking, “Well, who is my next candidate?”

Michael Polovick, retired HR Executive and President of Hudson Job Search will share what really happens on the other side of the interview table. Calling on his 35 years in HR leadership and 10,000+ interviews he will cover aspects of the interview no one warns you about.

He will cover:

• Why being qualified is not the same as being hirable
• How oversharing turns a strong interview into a long goodbye
• What interviewers are actually listening for while you’re listing every job you’ve ever had
• The fastest ways candidates move themselves into the “thanks but no thanks” pile
• How to close an interview like a professional… not a contestant on a reality show
• And more!

If you’ve ever left an interview thinking, “I shouldn’t have said that,” this session is for you. As a special bonus, he will share a highly effective tool that you can use to prepare and position yourself effectively for your next interview.
