Practice Your AI Interview

Practice Your AI Interview

Despite the ridiculous of the AI driven interview that many companies, in their 100% stupidity (technology is great but in this case, the utilization of AI-driven technology in the interview process will lead to inefficiencies in the process, bad hires (a costly mistake) and a disfranchised population of commoditized staff members), you still must prepare for the meeting with your robot.  Alas, you can prepare for this "interview" with new "tools", AI-powered platforms like Big Interview or InterviewAI for mock interviews and feedback.

AI Interviews - Tip #2 for Success

 For that dreaded AI Interview, keep the following top of mind:

 AI analyzes responses for keywords, consistency, confidence, empathy, and sometimes even facial expressions or word choice, providing scores on communication and integrity.  Therefore, re-read the job description and "speak" in their language during the interview.

Avoid Job Search Scams

There are numerous scams on the Internet, esp. LinkedIn that prey on job seekers.  Job hunters need to beware and watch for the following signs:

🚩Replies to your LI comments offering a "new opportunity"
🚩You see copy/pasting the same reply to others on LI
🚩Evasive behavior and failure to answer normal questions
🚩Directions to install a new video/teleconference app (malware)
🚩Requests to send a resume to a Gmail (or non-corporate) address
🚩A recruiter profile page with no or very few connections
🚩The job posting isn't on the company website
🚩Any request for personal data (DOB, SSN#)
🚩Pressure to accept an offer immediately
🚩Text based or chat "interview"
🚩Vague job descriptions

Any of these can point to the common scams I'm hearing about:

➤"Recruiters" requesting a fee for an ATS-friendly resume
➤ Fake job offers to get banking details for "direct deposit"
➤ "Resume Services" that use outdated templates
➤ Fees requested to help with background checks and visas
➤ "Work from home" offers that promise big money
➤ Upfront fees from training, equipment & materials
➤ Phishing via emails & calendar invites
➤ Application and exam fees

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Interview Tip #1:

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Interview Tip #1:

I cannot believe this has become part of the process. However, we cannot change it so here is a bit of advice about how to adapt to this crazy, ridiculous new reality.

Tip #1

Be Concise and Direct: AI may struggle with nuance, so clear, direct, and structured answers are best.

Concerning email addresses as related to job searches:

  Concerning email addresses as related to job searches:

Please stay away from legacy domains (aol.com; hotmail.com). These email domains are 25+ years old and can place the user in a negative light because of ageism. Ageism is a huge issue in job search, like it or not. You do not want to be ruled out of consideration because of potential age. Is it legal, no. Can you prove it, doubtful.

The perfect fit

 The perfect fit - honestly, it does not exist...

What is the 70 rule of hiring?

The 70-30 hiring rule is straightforward: hire candidates who meet 70% of the job requirements. The remaining 30% consists of skills or traits that can be developed after hiring through onboarding, mentoring, or on-the-job training.

Job Search Tip - Do not take job posting as being 100% accurate

One of the biggest mistakes job candidates make is disqualifying themselves because they do not meet EVERY requirement in the job description. While certain requirements truly do matter, many qualifications are more of a "wish list" than a mandatory qualification.

Key point - if you can demonstrate that you have the experience and wherewithal to do the job, then apply without hesitation.
