“Umm, Uh… Could you, like, NOT hire me?”: How to Underwhelm Your Job Interviewer
Job interviews generally make people nervous, and understandably so: you’re being judged. And when people get nervous, they often start peppering their speech with ”ums,” ”uhs,” “like,” “you know,” and other space fillers that detract from their message.
What’s the message you want to send? That you are absolutely the candidate who can take this job and run with it. That you will make your new boss look like a superstar for hiring you, and that you have no doubts about your ability to be successful. To convey this message, you need to speak clearly, concisely, and confidently. No “ums” or “uhs” allowed.
If you need help with this, consider joining Toastmasters or a similar group so that you can practice speaking publicly. Check out this link on public speaking tips. Also, a good career coach can help you spot those tendencies in your conversation, and give you the kind of constructive feedback that will eliminate any uncertainty you may have about your interviewing skills.
