Recruiter Reveals Why Companies Don't Hire The Best Candidate For The Job
Recruiter Reveals Why Companies Don’t Hire The Best Candidate For The Job And What Job Interviews Are Really About
https://www.boredpanda.com/recruiter-shares-companies-dont-hire-best-candidate-tiktok-rulewithruna/
A job interview is a unique event that combines both captain obvious and utter mystery. While every job seeker knows they have to show their best, it’s still largely unclear what each position really needs and what the company is looking for. No wonder so many job interviews feel like a lottery, unless you really screw up. In that case, the game is over.
But Runa Jiang, career coach and TikToker who often shares useful job tips on her account, explained how our understanding about what job interviews are for couldn’t be further from the truth. “Did you really think that the companies try to hire the best, most qualified candidates?” Jiang asks in one of her videos. Duh! Of course we do!
“Well, they don’t,” Jiang states, debunking everything we thought we knew about job interviews and sending a wave of disbelief on the internet before adding: “and I can let you know why.”
Scroll down for her eye-opening explanation of what recruiters are really looking for in candidates, and it may well change your tactics for the next interview.
The career coach and TikToker Runa Jiang claims that companies don’t actually need the best candidates, sending shockwaves online, but rather they look for people who are the least risky

I can confirm that the worst companies want people who are desperate and subservient with no other options. My people (Indian, computers not casino) have that reputation. European colonizers have sent us across the world to do jobs the locals won't do before the US has even existed as a country. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
And it always shocks them when I don't fit the stereotype of people who look like me.
I currently work at a job that values people who are assertive, confident, and unapologetically *AMERICAN* of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Whereas other jobs would have fired me by now because they just want a token US citizen to do things US citizens won't do.
So if you're job hunting, consider making an appointment at a tanning salon and tone down your American-ness.
