ITS Ongoing Surveys Show "No Control Over Interview" is Common Complaint Among Job Seekers
Although many executives think they are excellent in job interviews, that is often not the case. In fact, according to a recent ITS survey, the majority of job seekers complain that one of their biggest problems is not knowing how to steer the conversation in a direction that will make them look good.
Thousands of job seekers visit our websites each month, many of them to take advantage of the free services they can get there, including a free resume analysis and a comparison of how they stack up to their competition in more than 200 different characteristics. In the course of helping them, ITS routinely asks them what their biggest complaints are about job seeking in general.
"I'm not surprised they'd complain about that," observed Dayton C, Vice President for ITS in Denver. "We knew long ago that most executives who think they do well in interviews haven't prepared sufficiently, and some fell flat on their face. So we started to instruct our clients in the finer points of interviewing many years ago, and have continually refined the techniques and principles we teach.
"As a result," Dayton added, "today we've developed to the point where we make available on our client site the most advanced interviewing strategies in existence, then on top of that we develop personalized strategies for our individual clients, including how to deliver compelling stories for specific points. Our clients never complain about that, but they sure do compliment us a lot. They see the results in terms of job offers."
ITS services address all of these issues for clients we serve.
