Page 31: Final abc manager

HOW TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE APPLICANT?

In order to show that you are fully prepared you must go through the CV in depth, cover letter, Application form , any other form for e.g. Objective evaluation form.

GESTURES DURING INTERVIEW

Candidate body language sends signals of interest. Eye contact, head tilting and nodding are positive signs of enthusiasm. Folded arms and poor eye contact signals a lack of interest.

Page 32: Final abc manager

LOCATION FOR INTERVIEWMany recruiters often forget the importance of location when interviewing. The location is a reflection of the importance of the position, the professionalism of the company and the professionalism of its staff.Interviews should take place somewhere quiet, clean and confidential. The interview is a chance for you to sell the company and position to a candidate and for the candidate to interview you. Hiring the wrong person is not only costly but could also harm the company’s reputation.

Page 33: Final abc manager

INTERVIEW REVIEW AND CLOSING

An informal chat often helps to end on a friendly note. Make sure that you have covered all your points and the candidate has covered theirs.. Your closing actions will have an impression on the candidate. It is important to make sure that they reflect well on both you and your company.

Remember the question you really need answering is “Will this person fit into the business from a work and personality point of view and help to increase company profits?”

Try to send each candidate a thank you letter as soon as possible for attending the interview and informing them of your decision.

Ways To Conduct A Great Interview:

Don't conduct an interview, have a conversation. Just have a comfortable conversation. Do your homework. The only way to avoid getting stuck asking questions is to do so much research that you don't need them. Know your subject, know the issues.Don't stick to your agenda. instead of letting it flow based on what the subject is saying.Have notes, not questions. It's ok to have some notes about concepts you would like to discuss, but don't hold it in your hand and look down at it - that will break the conversation and turn it into an interview.

Page 36: Final abc manager

Ways To Conduct A Great Interview:Ask open ended questions. Always start your questions or commentary with words like "how" and "why". Those two words can never be responded to with the words, "yes" or "no“.If you're going to record it... start training yourself now to not say things like, "ummm" and "ahhhh." While it sounds natural in everyday chitter chatter, those little vocal stumbles sound extra annoying if you plan on publishing the audio file, and it's even more frustrating if you have to transcribe the audio to text. It's one of the hardest things to do, but be conscious of it.Don't say anything. This is an old journalism trick, but it works wonders. If you want to get a little bit more out of them or something original, wait for five seconds after they finish their last sentence and do not say anything. More often than not, that moment of silence will get them thinking and they'll start speaking from their heart.Watch the clock. Try not to go over thirty minutes. You should be able to capture everything you need in fifteen minutes or less.Be the ambassador for your audience. Don't forget that your role as the interviewer is to ask the questions that your mass public would want the answer to if they could be in that room. They can't be there. You are. Be their ambassador. Ask the questions they want answered.Have fun. . Remember that the best conversations are the fun conversations. Have fun.

Page 37: Final abc manager

DOs and DON’Ts of Interview:•dress smartly, look bright and attentive, and speak clearly and confidently. Don't forget that in the first few minutes only 7% of the interviewee's opinion of you is formed by what you say - the rest is judged on how you look, act and sound•Prepare where the venue is beforehand, •get your outfit ready the night before•find out what kind of interviewee it will be so you can prepare•examine the person specification and your CV/application form, prepare main questions - for example, why do you want the job, what are your strengths and weaknesses, what are the main tasks in this job?

Page 38: Final abc manager

The Interview (Guideline for Role Play)

• Greet with warm handshake and smiling face• Make him comfortable , ask him how was his journey and was it easy to

find our place. Ask him a glass of water.• Leave him with company literature to study.• Introduce yourself , position and your passion.• Did any thing catch your attention from our literature• Ask him why is he looking for a job• Ask him about strengths and weakness• Ask him about his achievements of Life.• Share your experience of failure.• Share your experience of success.• What do you want to do in next 5 years.• Do you obstacles which stop you from achieving these dreams• Ask him if he has any questions • Thank him for coming and let him know interview results will be conveyed

Management Don'ts to Motivate Employees

1. DON'T get angry."Getting angry is easy. Anyone can do that.But getting angry in the right way in the right amount at the right time, now that is hard." (Mark Twain) Anger does not belong in your managerial kit bag.2. DON'T be cold, distant, rude or unfriendly.Especially in difficult times, employees take cues from their immediate supervisors and need to hear from them. As such, your team will judge you by your action, moods, and behaviors, not by your intent.3. DON'T send mixed messages to your employees so that they never know where you stand.Keep your message simple, focused and prioritized. Too many messages and initiatives just confuse and alienate people.4. DON'T BS your team.This includes saying things that you don't believe in. This includes hiding information and just plain lying. By the time each of us is in our early 20 s, we have all developed very well-tuned BS ′detectors.5. DON'T act more concerned about your own welfare than anything else.Your success will come through the success of your team."Self-serving detectors" are also very well-tuned in most employees.6. DON'T avoid taking responsibility for your actions.You are the boss. As such, you are accountable and the buck stops with you.You are trying to develop accountability throughout your company. So, lead by example.

Page 52: Final abc manager

Management Don'ts to Motivate Employees

7. DON'T jump to conclusions without checking your facts first.A few years ago, I watched in horror as a colleague of mine started screaming at an employee of his who had missed an important meeting that morning. After several minutes, the employee responded: "I apologize and should have contacted you. But, I just got back from the hospital as my mother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer."8.DON’T point the finger instead of providing reliable resolutions.If there’s one thing your team needs you to be as their manager, it’s reliable – especially in a crisis situation. The worst thing you can do when a problem or sticky situation occurs is to place blame. Instead, push asides the whos, hows, and whys, and provide your sales people with the guidance, solutions, and resources they need to resolve the situation. After the situation has been resolved, you can have a discussion with the people involved on what happened and how to avoid it in the future.9.Don’t invest the time and resources to hire the right people for your Team/Company Hiring the wrong person can cost your business thousands. As a manager, you owe it to your team to adequately screen the candidates you’re considering for the qualities that will make them work well with the rest of the team and make them successful within this role in your company

Page 53: Final abc manager

Management Do's to Motivate Employees

1. DO what you say you are going to do when you are going to do it.There is no better way to communicate the message that you are accountable for your promises and that everyone in your company should be accountable as well.2. DO be responsive (return phone calls, emails).As a manager, your team can be considered to be your customer.You want your sales team to punctually respond back to customer requests, so you should do the same.3. DO publicly support your people.Your disagreements and disappointment with your employees can be communicated later and in private.Nothing appears so hollow as your attempt to blame your team for failures.4. DO admit your mistakes ......and take the blame for failures.5. DO recognize your team."You can never underestimate the power of simple recognition for a job well done."6. DO ask and listen."The manager of the future will know how to ask rather than how to tell." (Peter Drucker)Some of the most dangerous words for a manager to ever say include: "But, you just don't understand…" "Because I said so…"

Page 54: Final abc manager

Management Do's to Motivate Employees

7. DO smile and laugh.Have some fun. But, be genuine; programmed fun and faked laughter is worse than doing nothing.When appropriate, laugh at yourself; it will humanize you.8. Do motivate your reps solely with extrinsic/financial rewards.While contests, incentives, bonuses, and rewards can make good motivators to get that extra boost in sales for the quarter, they shouldn’t be used in isolation or as the sole motivator for your sales people to perform well. A dependency on extrinsic rewards may lead to higher and higher rewards being required for sales people to perform. Instead, try to develop a team culture in which sales people are motivated by their passion, by their contributions to the team, and by their own development9. Do provide adequate opportunity for learning and growth.Most sales people would consider themselves to be ambitious. They clearly want to grow and obtain higher and higher levels of success. Mobility and growth can itself be a great intrinsic motivator of sales performance.
