Interviews: Dating for Job Seekers?

By Tag and Catherine Goulet, FabJob.com

He called, and you agreed to get together to see if you would hit it off. After some small talk, you started getting to know each other. You felt you were really making a connection. By the end of your time together you thought he felt the same way. After all, he did say those three little words you?d been longing to hear? ?I?ll call you.?

But it?s been a week since you got together and you still haven?t heard from him. You?ve asked your colleagues: ?Have you heard from him?? ?Did he ask you anything about me?? but the answer is no.

You tell yourself he must be busy and if you just wait a bit longer, he?ll call. Or maybe he lost your phone number?

Face it ? he?s just not that into you.

He?s Just Not That Into You is the title of a popular dating book by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, but some of its advice can also apply to job-hunting.

If an employer is into you, he (and of course this applies to female interviewers as well) treats you with respect. He does what he says he will, including calling when he agreed to call, because he knows there?s a distinct possibility that he could lose you.

Here are some of the things that an interviewer who is into you is likely to do:

He starts the interview on time, or apologizes if it starts late. He recognizes that your time is valuable.


During the interview he asks you about yourself and lets you do most of the talking because he wants to know as much as possible about you.


He doesn?t criticize or belittle you, your education or experience. You don?t feel like you?re on the defensive.


He doesn?t cut the interview short, but wants to spend as much time as possible with you.


He doesn?t allow interruptions. If the phone rings, he lets it go to voice mail.


At the end of the interview, he tells you a specific time that he?ll call.


He calls your references to ask about you.


And the ultimate sign that the employer is into you: he calls when he said he would to offer you a job at the salary you want.

If an employer is not into you, he:


Starts the interview late without an apology.


Spends most of the time talking about himself, the job or the company instead of trying to learn about you.


Doesn?t listen when you are talking.


Allows interruptions, takes phone calls or checks his e-mail.


Forgets your name.


Eats lunch without offering you any, flosses his teeth or otherwise acts as if you?re not there.


Ends the interview quickly.


Is vague about when or if he?ll call.

Of course, interviewing isn?t entirely like dating. There are times that an employer who really is into someone can?t offer them a job. For example, if the company has a massive downsizing between when you were interviewed and when the employer was supposed to call.

Furthermore, as the job seeker, you should do more than just wait for the employer to contact you. Send a thank-you note within 24 hours, then follow up if you haven?t heard anything by the date the interviewer promised to call.

However, if the interviewer hasn?t called you when he said he would, don?t get your hopes up. Chances are he?s just not that into you. But if he doesn?t respect you or treat you well, we hope you?re not that into him either.

Thanks for a refreshing topic..now i can pattar pattar pattar without care..but hey i read throught the thing..but still cudn't come up with any perfect conslusion..

Everybody is different. We see that in Sajha. If you pair any two people randomly and role play as couples or interveiwer/ee, then it is possible that they maky click, or they may not have right questions or answers..

So say Bipasa Basu, a hot lady was to go on a date with you. You adore her. Period. You work in her office. You help her. And she asks you for a lunch. Now you are stuck with food in the plate, which you can't eat with your eyes stuck at Bipasa. She eats away, talks about her life, her frens, family, parties, and things that you are least concerned about. You talk about your work, politics and stuf..that you think you are going to bore her. In the end of the lunch, you feel great you had lunch with her. She regrets, cause you didn't find her interesting and she found you a bore.Now what should she do?? What shoukd you say to change things??

In the same context, I get a lunch offer from my colleague JOhn Abraham..We actually go out for lunch every day. We tried having other colleagues but it didn;t work. So we go to lunches together. He's so subtle not to be embarrased that he doesn't say much and I typically don't know how to talk with a person who doeasn't speak. If i bring politics. he hates. Religion forget it. Family sucks. Sports for him is the gym. Parties are meant for Paris Hilton only. But john is so attractive that i'd still lunch with him. Yet I'm so conscious that i feel my hair is becoming snakes, and i loook like the E.T.A lunch remains simply like a interview with hearts beating 420 mph. Yet how do you get to conclusion??
