we are asked every day, “why do employers take soooooo long to decide anything…to interview and then to decide on who to have back…then who to hire….why does it take so long?”
well, it isn’t a simple answer but here is why…when the economy is good and companies are making money, they operate out of “vision of gain”…
when the economy is tough and companies don’t know when they will recover, they operate out of “fear of loss”
whenever companies and the individuals in them operate out of “fear,” they slow everything down…everything …
and when it comes to making any kind of decision the fear of “making a mistake” is even greater…we hear it daily..”we don’t want to make a mistake”
so, hiring authorities look at you and as they interview you, they think, “how will this candidate not work out?”
they don’t see the upside, they see the downside…
sooooo, it all takes longer…any decison out of fear takes longer…
