Do You Have the Job Interview X-Factor?

It is one of the most feared aspects of the job search and career change process. So much so in fact that the prospect of a job interview can put fear into even the most self-confident, articulate and accomplished job seekers. The explanation for this fear lies in the nature of job interviews as a complex performance which you won’t do well in unless you rehearse well. If you haven’t rehearsed however, just with any other performance you may get stage fright.

Everyone that has had a job has probably had a job interview at some stage or another in their career. But do interviews work? Before we talk about what you ought to do to enhance your performance in interviews it is worth asking the question, do interviews actually work. This may seem like a silly question to some as interviews are so common place in the workplace regardless of which industry you work. But the reality is that interviews are not a very good predictor of job performance. If fact, it’s a wonder interviews are still the most common way to hire for a job given that their prediction for on the job success is rated at only 20 to 30 per cent depending on whether or not they are competency based or structured.

In fact, it is because of the subjective and relatively inaccurate nature of job interviews that many employers and companies now also incorporate psychometric testing and assessment procedures into their recruitment process in order to provide a more reliable and objective basis to their hiring decisions. Regardless of this however, the interview remains the key decision-making tool for HR managers and employers.

Let us take a step back for just a moment, though. Before you start to prepare for the job interview, it is important to think about what needs to happen at the interview in order for you to be successful. What is it that the decision makers will want to see and hear from you the interview? Having conducted a great number of interviews, it comes down to three things:

• Certainty that you fulfill the skills and experience requirements outlined in the job description. Think of this as your technical aptitude.


• A feeling that your particular personality and work approach will be a good match for the type of team, role and company dynamics. Think of this as your behavioral attitude.


• Something a bit different, special, authentic or interesting about you and what you may have to offer. Your could think of this as your x factor, which makes you stand out from the other candidates. The first two things are pretty easy to learn.

Here is an excellent technique to make sure you give your interviewers all of the reassurance they require concerning your aptitude and attitude. The x factor is a slightly less prescriptive entity but understand this right and it may well end up being your most effective interview tool.

Do you have the x factor?

• It could be as simple as offering an insightful observation or understanding of something occurring within your industry,or perhaps the state of the nation.


• It could be the daring to hold your ground and disagree with what the interviewer says.


• It could be the humility to admit that you have failed in the past, that you have weaknesses.


• It could be the courage to say that you are outstanding at what you do.


• It could be the way in which you explain an odd career history.


• It could be the ability to smile, to laugh, to relax and have fun at the interview.


• It could be the nerve to share a joke or a self-deprecating story.


• It could be the self-confidence to interview the interviewers!


• It could be the balls to put forward a radical solution to a problem.


• It could be the honesty to say you don’t know or do not understand.


• It could be the strength to challenge the status quo.


• It could be being quirky or witty.


• It could be showing a real passion and enthusiasm for your work.

In a nutshell, it comes down to being comfortable in your own skin, someone who knows their mind and is genuine and authentic in their efforts. You may find it difficult to believe, but a lot of interviews lack any type of life or personality. They can be staged, uninteresting and predictable, so when you have someone before you who is not afraid to show that x factor, the impact is even more powerful than you can imagine. Obviously, the x factor is only going to work when you have satisfied the criteria on the other two elements (attitude and aptitude). However, there is no doubt that it is a bonus that may firmly swing the pendulum in your favor.

Another think you need to consider is whether you get on with your organization and will you fit into the new role? In my opinion, for most jobs, your behavioral fit more often than not carries more weight than your technical expertise. Your fit refers to the level of compatibility that exists between you, your target role and your organization, and much of your satisfaction and fulfillment has its source here. Your fit is dependent up:

• Company culture


• Team dynamics


• Management ethos


• Scope of your role.

The reality is that someone with less technical expertise but a stronger behavioral fit for that team or company is more likely to be offered a second interview.

Why is this? Because technical skills are often easily learned, whereas personality and behaviors are definitely more difficult to change or acquire. And if you throw a bit of ‘x factor’ into the equation, then you’re on to a winner.

Responding to a research survey of top personnel executives, the following were the most influential factors in their decision to hire. The list is ranked with the most important first:

1. Personality – how you present yourself through the interview


2. Experience


3. The qualifications you have for the position you are being interviewed for


4. Background and references


5. The enthusiasm you show towards the organization and the job


6. Your educational and technical background


7. Your potential growth in the job


8. Your compatibility (i.e. ability to get along with co-workers)


9. Your intelligence and capacity to learn


10. How hard a worker you appear to be. Select for attitude – train for aptitude

So make life easy for your interviewer. The harder you work to prepare for the interview, the easier you make things for the interviewer, and this is a good thing. Interviewing can be tiring and somewhat tedious – so imagine for a moment what it’s like to sit in a room and ask the same questions of a procession of people all. Employers may be increasingly utilizing psychometric tests as part of their overall recruitment process but job interviews will remain still central to the recruitment process in almost all organizations. For this reason it is critical that you are able to interview effectively in order to get the job or career you want. If you follow the tips and advice above going into your next job interview you will be in a great position to maximize your chance of success.

Psychometric Testing Is Not Only Useful for Recruiters

Many recruitment and HR professionals use psychometric testing for screening candidates for short listing and further interviews, but the technique is also useful for learning more about oneself.

The tests are also used to help with career development and training of existing staff and to aid counselling if there should be problems.

There are three main types of psychometric   testing , used for assessing potential abilities,  aptitudes  and personality and the appropriate  test  needs to be selected for the information required, but also the test needs to be carried out by someone proficient in their use.

As the economic climate continues to be challenging and every vacancy attracts large numbers of applicants it is no surprise that employers are increasingly using this tool to find someone who fits the vacancy profile as closely as possible. Such tests can be expensive but they are seen as an effective way of minimising the risks of making the wrong choices because the recruitment process itself can be a costly business.

A job description needs to be carefully constructed to cover all the essential requirements of the position to be effective and the psychometric test can therefore play a part in refining this also.

In a nutshell the ability  test  is designed to measure a person’s capacity to learn and can therefore assess the subject’s future potential while the  aptitude  test  will measure the subject’s ability to perform in a specific range of skills and ways. If personality is an issue where someone will have to fit into a team and perhaps grow with it then the psychometric test can give some measure of objective evaluation of this.

As employers become more demanding roles, such as the traditional PA’s are changing and expanding. Often nowadays the PA, particularly at senior level, is working for a team of managers, may be required to step in as a manager themselves in some situations and be flexible about where and how they work. Increasingly they can be asked to train and manage more junior staff, carry out research and manage simple accounts.

For the candidate who is looking for a PA role, therefore, a psychometric test can help them to learn about their own potential to meet these additional requirements. It may help to reveal hidden abilities that enable a candidate to target a particular sector or consider a change of career.

Learning about oneself and what one could potentially become may also provide insights that can help with identifying areas of weakness that the candidate can then tackle with additional training and qualifications.

All this will help the candidate to refine their CV and fill out application forms with the confidence of knowing that they can demonstrate how they meet the requirements of the job and thereby improve the chances of being called for interview.

How to Create a Great CV

Attitudes towards CVs and resumes change over the years and it’s hard to keep up with what employers are looking for these days. One thing we can be sure of, however, is that recruiters are pushed for time – they don’t have all day to look over your CV, so it needs to be eye-catching and interesting from the very start. Here are a few tips to help you create that CV you always wanted.

The first thing to do is get yourself in the right state of mind regarding the purpose of a CV. Will a CV get you a job? No. Will it get you an interview? Yes. So, to create the most effective CV we need to focus on including information that will get us to the interview stage. Here’s what we do.

Firstly, you don’t need to include the words “CV”, ”  Curriculum   Vitae ” or “Resume” at the top of your CV. If the person who is reading it can’t figure out what it is then either they shouldn’t be reading it or you have a really bad CV!

The first thing to have at the top of your CV is your name (in nice bold print) followed by your contact details. Remember, your contact details – especially your phone number – are vital. They must be 100% correct as this is the only way the employer can contact. One error in your phone number and that interview opportunity goes out the window. You might also want to think about the phone numbers you supply. Don’t bother including a home phone number if you’re never at home. Just include your mobile number if that’s the best way to contact you by phone. And while we’re on the subject of phones you might want to think about the voicemail message you have. Is it suitable for a potential employer to hear?

Now we get in to the main part of your CV and this should start with a Career Profile. Your profile should be a 3 to 5 sentence mini-advertisement placed beneath your personal details. It introduces you to the potential employer and should make them want to learn more about you. Your career profile should focus on key experience, relevant qualifications, key knowledge, relevant training and personal attributes. In a nutshell, it should tell them three things: what you have done in the past, what you have to offer and what you are looking for. Spend as much time as you can preparing your Career Profile as it is quite possibly the most important part of your CV and there is a pretty good chance it will be the first thing read by the recipient of your CV.

Your Career Profile should be followed by details of your work history. How much you include is up to you but you probably don’t want to go back more than 10 or 15 years. Firstly, anything we did more than 15 years ago may well be irrelevant in today’s job market. Secondly, we don’t want to give too much of an indication of how old we are. When you’re adding information about your work it can be very tempting to simply list all your duties. Stop! A good CV should show the positive impact of your work by using statements indicating responsibilities and achievements rather than a list of what you did on a day-to-day basis.

We are now ready to include details about education and training. The education section should include information on schools, colleges or universities attended and qualifications gained. List the most recent education first but think about the relevance of this information to the employer. Bear in mind, the older we get the less important our high school education is to an employer. It’s much better to focus on recent and relevant training and development. And the key word in the last sentence is “relevant”. Focus only on training you have undertaken that is relevant to the job you are applying for. However, you can think further afield than just the training courses you have attended and have a certificate for. You might also want to consider in-house courses, e-Learning, distance learning, attendance at conferences and seminars, participation in action-learning groups, secondment opportunities and ongoing courses.

Your CV is now shaping up nicely but a question that is often asked is whether or not hobbies and interests should be included? Although not essential, it can be a good idea to include your hobbies and interests. For example, if you’re going for a job as a sales assistant in a bookshop, it makes sense to include reading as one of your hobbies. Furthermore, interesting hobbies can enliven an otherwise conventional CV. A care worker who is a champion water-skier – wow! Sports and physical recreation activities are also useful to include because they indicate you are fit and healthy.

Focus on the above mentioned content and you are going to have a CV that gets attention. One last thing we need to think about, however, is the overall appearance. I can’t stress enough the importance of the first half page of your CV. I would recommend you always perform the following quick test. Simply fold your CV in half and read just the top half of the first page. Is it interesting? Does it make you want to learn more about the person? If the answer to these questions is yes, then the CV has passed the test. If the answer is no, what can be done to make it more interesting? Other factors you should consider regarding the appearance of your CV are to not make it any more than two pages long, use good quality paper, use a font size between 10 and 12, and make sure the font is common and easily readable, use consistent and clearly visible headings, use a uniform approach to alignment, put your name in the footer (especially on the second page), check your spelling and grammar, have someone else read your CV for ambiguity and, if possible, create and send a PDF (Portable Document Format) version.

Good luck with creating the perfect CV. Gary Bedingfield Training offer cost-effective CV workshops and you can find more information on our website.
