I've been helping a friend who's just out of school and going through the interview ringer. They've already gone through one round of interviews for a posting like that only to be told after 2 interviews (for an internship) "by all experience levels we actually meant a minimum of 2 years industry experience for the lowest level". So now she completely avoids anything that is phrased this way.
- robocat 4y agoI recently read a study that found most women give up trying when applying for jobs and promotions, so they miss out. Similarly, lack of assertiveness: https://medium.com/the-pink/why-women-give-up-their-power-d92e35af0f9a https://medium.com/the-pink/why-women-give-up-their-power-d9... I hope you can help your friend learn to be more stubborn against failure. I wish I knew what a good training technique might be: I have friends that need help with the same issue (both male and female).
- bombcar 4y agoSadly the best training technique is to just keep trying, time and time again. If you have difficulty interviewing, you should interview even when you have a job, just to get more practice. The first time you're turned down it hurts a lot, especially if it was a job you really were interested in - the fiftieth? Not so much.
