Me and a friend were discussing first interviews today and how much they actually feel like first dates. He even told me of a story when he attended the interview at his current job he was so nervous he fixed his tie at least 500 times, cut his hair right before the interview, polished his shoes, reorganized all his paperwork about as many times as he fixed his tie. Even after all the preparation he still was nervous. Walking into a place for the first time, making sure your prepared, looking good, and embracing this life changing event in which you could never fully predict how it will go; can be very intensive. I know from personal experience that much like my friend I prepare the same way, and for me at least the most intensive part for me is wondering if they are interested. Many companies do not even tell you until very last moment if they are remotely interested. So between all the pressure initially, the interview itself, and waiting to find out if you are a candidate they are looking for can be almost unbearable especially if you have been out of the job hunting game for a while. When we came up with the ideas around employmeinc.com which launches this week. We analyzed the employment process, determined the things we wished would happen, and things we worried about and felt when looking for a career. With the tools, resources, and change we are initiating we want to help counteract the anxiety, pressure, and put the human back into the approach. Look forward to this week and changing the world with you as partners in this endeavor.
