"My biggest mistake is probably
weighing too much on someone's talent and not someone's personality. I think it
matters whether someone has a good heart." ― Elon Musk
The recruiters emphasize several
parameters in technical and non-technical skills at the time of hiring. Some of
the parameters in the non-technical area include intelligence, experience,
attitude, personality and behavior. Currently attitude is widely talked against
skills; personality is widely talked against intelligence; experience is widely
talked against qualifications; and streetsmarts are widely talked against book
smarts at the time of recruitment. There
is a drastic shift in the mindset of the recruiters globally keeping the
present global business environment in view.
Emphasize
Excellence and Acquire Expert Power
There are many factors that
differentiate extraordinary achievers from ordinary achievers. One of them is
excellence. Extraordinary achievers raise their bar constantly. They don’t
compare with others. For them, excellence is an attitude. They work for their
satisfaction, not for recognition. They constantly upgrade themselves with knowledge,
skills and abilities.
I survived professionally irrespective
of the institutions I worked due to my expert power and referent power. Hence,
acquire both expert and referent power to achieve greatness in your life.
Emphasize
Attitude, Personality and Behavior
When someone has a vast experience but
doesn’t demonstrate right attitude, it is of no significance to the
organizations. In contrast, when someone has high attitude with nil experience,
it is of great significance to the organizations. Personality is preferred to
other aspects including experience, intelligence and talent. Richard Branson rightly
remarked, "In my eyes, personality always wins over book smarts. Company
knowledge and job-specific skills can be learned, but you can't train a
personality." Hence, job seekers must take a note of this shift in global
recruitment and present themselves accordingly during interview to come out
with flying colors. Additionally, they must realize that there is no permanent
employment in the world but only permanent employability.
"The person with the top grades
and most credentials isn't always the best person for the role. Time and time
again I've seen people with a background of broad-ranging employment and skills
hired for a job where they don't necessarily tick the specialist criteria
boxes, but become incredibly successful by offering a new level of
understanding to the role. With this in mind, we focus on hiring people with
transferable skills--team players who can pitch in and help others in all sorts
of situations. It's important never to underestimate the power of
versatility." ― Richard Branson
