I mean, this should kind of go without saying, but I did get some kind of nasty grams about the whole thing. So I guess I’ll start by saying, you know, be kind to the hiring manager. But even I was kind of surprised by some of the behaviors. But that doesn’t give that person that perhaps is connected with you any more have a leg up than than anyone else, at the end of the day, it comes down to being qualified for the role. But there’s still a fine line between doing something that makes you stand out and behavior that kind of portrays yourself in a negative light as a job seeker, you’re not really in a position to demand anything, and you come across too many as a very friendly person. And that means that people have to be doing some things to stand above the competition. Yeah, you know, it’s, it’s tough right now for a lot of people and the job market is tight. And so that was really, really eye opening. And it got picked up by a recruiter group on Facebook, who basically roasted me and cut me down pretty hard.

And so that’s kind of where I drew a line. And it’s not that I didn’t want to talk to people, but it was just kind of the forcefulness and some people actually demanded my time. I got some people who applied for the job and then said, Hey, now that I applied for the job, can I schedule my interview now, but probably hands down, the most surprising thing that happened is I actually tweeted something along the lines of you know, just because I’m connected with you on social media, it doesn’t really entitle you to my time because I got inundated with just messages from people about I want to talk to you about this job.

So Case in point, I got a lot of people sending me their resumes, asking me to apply to the job for them. And let me just say, Joe, I was a little bit surprised by some of the stuff that happened when I did that. So when the job posting went live, I shared it on my LinkedIn, my Twitter, and then my own personal Facebook. So for this position, I was really excited about it, obviously, I’m still kind of new to the company, and I’m looking to start building my team. So as you all can imagine, and hopefully appreciate when we have positions open, at least at my org, and then I’m sure other orgs as well, we get a lot of interest, and we get a lot of resumes. But before I even talk about the interview, let’s talk a little bit about how you get to the interview. I think that will Lisa’s working on putting that up on YouTube. And I did go further into depth on this, I did also have a TLDC episode about it: Confessions of a Hiring Manager. So what I thought I would kind of demystify and talk about today, with the caveat of your mileage may vary, it’s going to look different at different organizations. Okay, so I will tell you that, at least for me, I was probably as equally nervous as the job candidates, because I know what it’s like kind of being on the other side of the interview process.
