BENGALURU: Cognitive biases are illogical judgments and inferences that one derives due to systematic or continuous influence from situations or people around.

Now your hard attempts to crack an interview may all go in vain due to certain such cognitive biases of the hiring manager. It’s not their preconceived notions but other candidates like you and their repetitive mistakes end in such a bad state for you.

Now here is a list of seven common cognitive biases that the hiring managers are taking into consideration and thus prospective candidates are falling back in the league. Take a note of them and make sure you do avoid these in the next interview and set the interviewer to a new whelm.

These cognitive biases as listed by Business Insider apply to any sector and candidate appearing for a job interview.

Affect Heuristic

A heuristic implies a quick jump to the conclusion with no hard research or analysis of information. Now it’s obvious for the hiring manager to derive such quick end decisions from the over loaded resume you submit. After all, his eyes go through several such resumes on a daily basis. In that case, it’s your oratory and presentation that needs to highlight the outstanding points of your experience during the span of interview. It’s you alone who can make him realize how you are superior compared to the big list of applicants he has in wait.
