Thanks for your article. Sorry your friend felt unsafe being transparent. I could write a lot about that, but I will just say simple and honest is best all around.
I can work with you to find a good interview time though I will interview others in the meantime and you might not get interviewed at all. For my part I’m simply looking to speed up the hiring process and don’t judge you based on your schedule or appearing too available. I know many applicants are anxious.
I like it best when you know what you want and what your limits are, and something about my company before you apply.
Also I like it when you bring your truest self to the interview – your humor, confidence, even your fears. I’m not looking for a perfect person, I’m looking for a great fit between us, and I hate it when I hire you only to find later that you are substantially different than I thought. I go into the relationship caring about you and it breaks my heart to have to let you go based on a poor fit. After all, I’m looking for a long-term, mutually satisfying relationship.
