Keep it Simple Stupid Confessions of a Bad Interviewer
By: Harrison Barnes



EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses how keeping things simple always works best.

You need to keep things as simple as possible. The ability to take complex ideas and explain them to people in a simple and straightforward way is something that is a real skill and something not a lot of people can do. We make our lives and everything we do much more complicated than it really needs to be. This is a massive mistake. When we make things uncomplicated, simple, and easy to understand we are always much better off.

This philosophy applies to your job search as well. Think about the people who are interviewing you. They have no interest in long-winded stories from you about this or that. All they are interested in is whether or not you are a good fit for the job. The best way to succeed in your job search and interviews is to present yourself and what you are doing in a simple, easy to understand manner.

Simplicity works in many, many areas. Businesses and people who keep things simple are often able to do far better at everything than those who complicate things. You need to keep things as simple as possible and not overly complicate things. Simplicity is where you can get the best results





Client Testimonials
"Not only was your service outstanding but it was also exactly what I needed right now. After such a brutal job search, it was nice to start getting interview appointments again. I just hope everything works out for the best. Thanks again for your help."

"I've just finished going over the resume and cover letter. They both sound great. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out; you've managed to convey my experience in a very professional tone and yet still sound like me. I've never thought of having a 'voice' in my paperwork, but apparently I do, and you've captured it."
