1. Employer & Recruiter Tip DO YOU HAVE INTERVIEW INTUITION? Cheryl Stein, Career Coach

2. . 1 WHAT IS INTERVIEW INTUITION?

4. We often look back at decisions that we’ve made and say, “I had a bad feeling about that person butI ignored it. If only I had listened to my instincts.” Or “I trusted my gut and the person worked out well.”

5. . 2 CAN I USE INTUITION BEFORE THE INTERVIEW?

9. Don’t try to figure out what’s “right” or “not quite right” about a candidate immediately. Give yourself some time to get a feel for what it is about them that is tripping your alarm bells (or lighting up your positive senses)

10. Know your trigger points. Is this coming from your or from them? Are you projecting your own baggage onto the candidate or is it them that’s giving off either positive or negative vibrations?

13. Compare what you wrote about this candidate before the interview, based on your intuition

14. Are you impressions consistent, or did the actual interview change your views?

15. Is the candidate a better fit, or a worse one, now that you’ve had a chance to process your “sixth sense”
