5 ways to show you’re a ‘passionate candidate’
Employers will need enthusiastic new factors at work. Therefore, sometimes qualifications, skills, and experience are not enough to “score” if the candidate lacks passion.
Have you ever been so confident in your experience and skills that you ended up being eliminated after the interview? Maybe it’s because you haven’t shown enthusiasm while talking about the work process. CareerBuilder suggests helping you communicate your excitement about the job.
Start with the question of motivation
Often employers will ask what you’ve done. Instead of just talking about achievements, start your answer with a motivation.
For example: “I focus on health apps because I believe that technology gives everyone equal access to beneficial information. That is the driving force for my application to develop effectively and be used by … thousands of people”.
Mention of contributions that exceed the requirements
If possible, provide examples that show you’re not a “get it done” type of person.
For example: As an accommodation service manager, you not only interact with guests when they check in and check out, you also do surveys to know guest reviews to learn from experience. Sometimes, you send a message to ask if the customer has any difficulties in the process of using the service…
Share about hobbies
When you are passionate about something, it can also enrich other aspects of your life. Personal projects that show your ability to develop in depth and diversity.
Example: You love writing. Not only do you write according to the job requirements, you also write comic scripts. Thanks to that, you build a community of fans on social networks and gain more experience in managing fanpages.
Talk about volunteer work
You can completely share about a belief or aspiration that makes you volunteer, even if it is not related to work.
Example: You volunteered for a cat and dog rescue organization with the task of interviewing a lot of people, taking a lot of time. But thanks to that, you have helped many abandoned pets find their owners, and have more experience in communicating and evaluating people.
When interviewing, help recruiters get a portrait of who you are. Stories and details like the one above provide recruiters with information about a person who is enthusiastic, positively motivated in life, and has an interest in and commitment to the community around them. That’s the person everyone wants to have in the team.
