Hunting-for-a-job myths
The hunting-for-a-job process is rather labour-intensive and intricate task. People are confused with the variety of positions and the size of the salary they want to have. As a rule the question about salary is the most difficult question for those who are hunting for a job. The labour-intensity and complication of this process is a reason why there appeared a number of myths about hunting-for-a-job process.
The greatest and the most popular myth of the hunting-for-a-job process is an advice about the behaviour during interview. Most people get anxious about the interview and so hardly can talk. The psychologists say that such people have to imagine that an interviewer is naked and that will make them feel better. Though, it is also a myth. Even if you will imagine that all of them are naked it won't make you feel better. The experiment was held and the results of that experiment show that such a trick only distracts attention of the one who is being interviewed and so he can't answer the questions.
Another common hunting-for-a-job myth is that the words "We'll call you" mean that you have to keep looking for an appropriate position. Sure, in most cases this phrase means that they just can't tell you that you mismatch this position. Though, it is also possible that there are other people who have the interview today. So, the employee wants to interview all of them and then make a right choice. Though, if it is already five days of your waiting for their call you'd better stop waiting and look through the job-advertisements.
There is one more myth that is common for chiefs. Most of them believe that displeased workers are the best workers. But they are wrong. According to their logic if the workers are satisfied with everything it means that a chief provided them with excessive freedom and so the workers do nothing. Though, the displeased worker will never do his best in order to complete his task. It is important to find the perfect middle in the relations between a chief and a worker. It is only the perfect middle that will result in devotion for a job. The morale of the worker is of great importance that is the main motivation for a good work.
A number of myths about job deal with the salary problem. First of all some employees believe that it is enough to compliment a worker for his job and he will be as high as the sky. Though. It is not so, if the worker is displeased with the salary no compliments are able to make him happier. Another myth is about the thirstiness of workers for money. It is wrong to believe that it is only money the worker bothers about. A worker is also cares about the job he does. It is important for him to do his job perfectly and reach certain goals as it is a way of self-development and self-affirmation.
