10 Little Things That Make A Big Difference To Hiring Managers

This can be the difference between getting hired or being passed up.

Hiring managers take in every little impression you make on them and use it to make decisions. Yes, they obviously care about your resume, cover letter, and the answers you give to interview questions. However, they want to be able to truly understand what you are like to ensure they make the best hiring decision.

For example, let’s say you are headed out of an interview that went really well. As you reach the door, you see another candidate walk in to interview for the same position. You make a small frown, but the hiring manager notices and it changes their mind about hiring you. It seems like a very little thing, but to a hiring manager, your frown in the situation might be a red flag.

These “little things” can make all the difference when you are trying to get hired. And while it might seem annoying that hiring managers care so much about something so small, you should know that these little things are pretty easy to fix or avoid. Here are ten things that make all the difference to a hiring manager.

5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

Remember that the actual experience of being an online survey taker may vary, and it's essential to consider other factors such as the potential earnings, available surveys, and personal preferences before committing to any specific side hustle.

What should you do if a recruiter asks if you are currently interviewing? Say “yes”, of course! If a recruiter is asking if you are interviewing elsewhere, then you made a good impression and they don’t want to lose you. You want them to speed up the process and offer you a job! If a recruiter isn’t asking you this question, don’t fret. A recruiter might not ask you this even if they do like you. However, there is always the possibility that you didn’t make a great impression during your interview. Here are some tips to help you make a good impression, so every recruiter will want to hire you :

• 🤨 “Are you currently interviewing?”

• 🎤 Answering behavioral questions.

• 👍Tips for interviews.

How To Use The Law Of Attraction In Your Job Search

Your attitude plays a huge role in the success of anything you do.

If there is something you want to achieve in your life, whether it be career related or more personal, the way you think about the achievement can make the difference between success and failure. What do we mean by this? Well, if you want something bad enough and tell yourself that you will get it, then you will. And if you want something, but your thoughts tell you otherwise, then you definitely won’t get it.

If you are focused on your achievements you will find a way to make them happen. Positive thinking and believing in yourself gives you the power to overcome any obstacles in your way. This belief is commonly referred to as the Law of Attraction.

If you are struggling in your job search, you should try applying this principle. It’s time to turn you attitude around and believe in yourself, you aren’t going to get anywhere by moping around all day. You got this!

Here’s how you can use the Law of Attraction in your job search, so you can land your dream job!
