How To Positively Influence A Hiring Manager?


There are various way you can do so. Here is an answer from internet: 

"The best way to influence candidates as a recruiter is by effectively communicating the value proposition of the organization, actively listening to their needs and aspirations, building strong relationships, and providing personalized solutions that align with their interests and career goals."

IIn my podcast I covered something else - the mental world of yours and what do you do to prepare for the 'project' mentally. Here is an anwer from the internet:

 "Another tool you can use to mentally prepare is to visualize the interview going well. Instead of picturing yourself not knowing answers to questions or stumbling over your words, take time to imagine answering each question perfectly. Imagine that you are not nervous and your confidence shines to the interviewer."

I talk about a different thing instead - the attitude you carry with you about who you are and what you can deliver and from this perspective you speaj/answer recruiter's questions.

Dive deeper into my podcast and pick whats relevant, what resonates and what you can use to succeed as its my only intention for you!

Good luck.

Un hombre de negocios tenia que elegir a un empleado de entre tres candidatos.
A los tres le hizo, por turno, la misma pregunta: "¿Qué haría usted si a la hora de liquidar una cuenta un deudor le entrega mil pesos de más?"
El Primero contestó:
-Le haría ver su error y le devolvería inmediatamente los mil pesos.
-Demasiado cándido, usted no me sirve joven. -Dijo el patrón.

El segundo contestó:
-No le diría nada y depositaría los mil pesos en la caja.
-Demasiado inmoral, usted tampoco me sirve joven.

El tercero dijo:
-¿Para qué nos anticipamos? Primero esperemos a que alguien nos dé mil pesos de más, y entonces ya veremos lo que hacemos.
-Usted tiene sentido práctico joven. Queda contratado.

Walt Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved children's movies in history. But his path to success wasn't a direct one.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's journey began in 1923, when he moved to California to make cartoons. He made a series of silent cartoons called Alice Comedies, which became successful and led to the founding of the Walt Disney Studio.

In 1927, Walt Disney created a new cartoon character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made 26 short films with him in just one year.

However, when Disney asked for more money to continue making them, he discovered that his distributor had secretly hired his animators to make Oswald cartoons without him. Worse still, Disney didn't own the character of Oswald — the distributor did.

This setback forced Disney to create a new character. And that's how he came up with his most famous creation — Mickey Mouse. Mickey first appeared in the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie, and became an instant hit.

Disney then made the world's first full-color cartoon, 1932's Flowers and Trees, winning him an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Building on these successes, Disney began working on his first full-length movie in 1934 — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Over 300 people were involved in making the movie, including animators and artists. It went four times over its budget, and some dubbed the movie "Disney's Folly," believing it would fail.

But it didn't — when it was released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the highest-grossing film of all time, although it lost that title two years later to Gone with the Wind.

Walt Disney passed away in 1966, but his legacy lived on. His company continued to release successful animated movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, and now also creates successful computer animated films like Frozen and Moana.

From Setbacks to Success: The Story of Walt Disney

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
僕は今、岡山にいます。
いつもは北海道の千歳に住んでいますが、4年からしているボランティアの為に、千歳から大阪に飛行機で移動し、大阪から岡山までは電車で移動しました。

4年前に参加したボランティア活動を昨年から引き継いで、少人数のボランティアチームで運営しています。

この活動はとてもおもしろいです。
高校の授業に参加して、高校生と地域の大人が会話をします。ここで、親でもない、先生でもない大人と会話をすることで、大人や社会を少し身近に感じてもらうような活動です。

日本には定時制高校という仕組みがあります。
定時制高校は、夜だけ授業がある高校です。
いろんな理由でこの学校を選ぶ人がいます。
不登校の経験があったり、昼は働かないといけないとか、それぞれがいろんな理由があって、この学校に通っています。

社会や大人に対して、距離を取ったり、ネガティブな印象を持っている高校生も多いです。ですが、この活動で感じてもらいたいことがあります。それは、大人も大変なんだな、とか、おもしろい大人もいるんだな、とか、意外と自分たちと同じなんだな、ということを、少しだけでも感じてもらうことです。

この活動には2つ楽しいことがあります。
1つは今の高校生と関われることです。
44歳になると普通の生活では、高校生とゆっくり話すことはありません。ですが、この活動で、高校生といろんな話ができます。それはとても刺激があり、視野が広がります。

もう1つは、ボランティアで参加してくれる大人の人たちとの出会いです。
いろんな仕事をしている人たちと会うことができます。
大学の先生、介護、NPO職員、建設会社、飲食業などなど。
いろんな環境の人たちとコミュニケーションを取るのはとても刺激があります。これも普段の生活では得られない体験です。

ということで、この活動は僕にとってとても意味のあるものです。今年の活動は今日で終わりましたが、また来年も活動を続ける予定です。


みなさんは、仕事意外で、何かボランティアのような活動をしていますか？ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
