The candidate pool has increased considerably over the past few months due to the credit crunch. As many of you may be looking for a new job, I wanted to remind you of a piece of advice I wrote about a while back. Whether you are looking to work at Lab49 or anywhere else, please keep in mind that most interviewers want you to get the job! They want you to do well in the interview and so, should, do their utmost to make you feel comfortable.

In some companies, interviews can seem somewhat nerve wracking because the interviewer does little to ease the candidates nerves. This can be due things such as looming project deadlines that leaves them little time to speak with you, the interviewer may be inexperienced and so over-compensates by coming across as overly assertive rather than confident. My point being, it’s not generally going to be an issue with your candidacy. Sure, it’s certainly NOT a good thing that some interviewers are this way as they, to the candidate, are the “face” of the company and so should do all that they can to attract you to the organisation.

Let me make this offer to you. If you are preparing for an interview (whether it’s with Lab49 or not), feel free to drop me a email with any questions about how to handle interviews/interviewers and I will do all that I can to help you in your preparations.
