Got a Job Interview Lined Up? Congrats! But You’ll Want to Read This Before You Head In…

How many resumes did you submit before an employer called you up and asked you to come in for an interview?

Probably a lot, right?

In fact, chances are you’ve submitted at least 20 resumes to employers, maybe a whole lot more, before you heard anything about an interview…

And, unfortunately, you’ll need at least 5-10 interviews before you’re offered a job.[1]

It’s a chore, for sure. But in the end, all your efforts will eventually be worth it. Have faith, because with FindYourJobNow.com you will find a job!

And today, we’ll share some interview statistics with you to help better prepare for your next job interview. And, since you’ll need a bunch of interviews lined up before an offer comes in, we’ll show you how to find a job near you!

Oh, and we’ll reveal the #1 way to greatly up your chances at getting a job offer during your very first interview.

Now…

It was reported that 93% of Gen-Z job applicants who’ve been invited in for an interview never showed up.

Worse than that, 87% of Gen-Z who have been offered a job didn’t show up for work on day 1![2]

93% never show up for an interview, and 87% never show up for work on their first day.

That’s absolutely crazy, yes… but it’s true!

With all the work you have to put in to get an interview, you’d think showing up would be the easiest part. And why would anyone spend so much time trying to get a job, then ghost their new employer on day one?

We know that’s not you. We know you want an interview and you want a job. And that’s why we’re here to help you.

So, with that said, here’s some statistics you should know.[3]

• On average, 118 people will apply for a single job posting. But only 20% of them may be called into an interview.
• The average in-person job interview lasts just under an hour, 40 minutes to be exact.
• The amount of time you have to make your “first impression” is just 7 seconds.
• It only takes a hiring manager about 90 seconds to decide if you’re a good fit or not.
• The percentage of employers who use virtual interviews for at least the first round is 82%.
• Of hiring managers surveyed, nearly 75% say a candidate will be disqualified if they’re not dressed appropriately.
• The percentage of hiring managers who expect you to bring a paper copy of your resume with you to the interview is 84%.
• A huge majority of employers, 88%, say referrals from other employees result in the best hiring outcomes.
• Your odds of being hired if you’re interviewed for a third time are 51%

With all these things in mind, make sure you’re prepared for your next job interview. Most of these tips are pretty simple to follow. Make a good impression, dress well, bring a paper version of your resume, etc.

So… What’s the #1 way to greatly up your chances at getting a job offer during your interview?

Well, 93% of Gen-Z candidates ghost their job interviews. So, the best way to increase your odds of getting hired is to simply show up!
