“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”

— Karl A. Menniger

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

Make Job Interviews Less Stressful for Candidates

People find job interviews stressful because of the many unknowns. What will my interviewer be like? What kinds of questions will he ask? What should I wear? People don’t perform as well when they’re stressed, so if you want to be able to assess potential quickly, you should take preemptive steps to lower their cortisol levels. Tell people in advance the topics you plan on discussing so they can prepare. Say who – and how many people – will be interviewing them, so they won’t be surprised. Be willing to meet at a time that’s convenient for him or her. And explain your organization’s dress code. You want to make the person comfortable so that you can have a productive, professional conversation. Then you’ll have more time to evaluate whether he or she is the right person for the job – and to sell the role and company.
