KGS113 | Beyond The Resume Focus On Hiring EQ Over IQ And Here Is Why by Kingsley Grant

 +++ BEST WHEN EQ’d +++


Recently I was eating something and it just didn’t taste
fresh. 


My taste buds recoiled when the taste of the product leaked out
from my chewing.


Ewwww!


My brow knitted, my eyes shut tightly closed for a minute, and my
facial muscles contracting.


Have you ever had one of those moments?


Immediately, I looked at the date label to see what it said.


Here’s the very first thing I read: “Best if used by
___”.  


I realized that it was beyond the suggested date.


Had I eaten the product within the time slot suggested, and
within the early stages of the date range, my reaction would be a
whole lot different.


What does this have to do with hiring people? 


A lot.


So many people have been hired based on their ability to
skillfully and convincingly sell themselves.


Some people hire resume writers to create impressive resumes.


Others are great writers themselves.


But is that enough?


Why is it that like the “taste” of an expired product, do some
hiring managers experience similar face contortions in realizing
they made a mistake?


What did they miss?


In this episode, I share what hiring managers most likely
missed and what they can do about it.
