Correct feedback can help job search

Taking the right approach when seeking feedback from an interviewer is essential for job candidates, it has been stressed.

Writing for the Wall Street Journal, Bill McGowan, founder of communications firm Clarity Media Group, commented that getting interview reaction from a recruiter can help build communication skills.

He added that candidates should not assume that criticism is going to be negative or ask questions that may make the recruiter feel uncomfortable, such as whether the candidate was dressed appropriately.

"Keep your request for feedback professional, focused on your experience, expertise, recommendations from others and your ability to effectively convey what makes you a good candidate and distinctive from the other applicants," continued Mr McGowan.

He went on to say that candidates should get three points across in an interview - how specific previous experience has provided the skills necessary for the post, how research of the would-be employer reveals professional passions and what makes them stand out from the crowd.

This week, candidate coaching group Communication Downloads stressed that job candidates should present their interactive skills in job interviews.
