How are you reframing your perspective on the things that are out of your control?

We all have the ability to change the way we see or perceive things. To look at a situation that perhaps didn’t go our way and ask:
“What happened?”
“What was the outcome?”
“What could I have done differently?”

Reframing is all about taking yourself out of the initial reaction or emotion of the situation, and looking at logically (at Witz we call this Activating Your ADULT). What are the facts of the situation? What was the outcome? Is there anything you can change next time to make it a more successful interaction.

Stop focusing on what is out of your control and reframe it in a positive way.

What’s your interviewing style?

For me, I’m all about going with my gut. I don’t follow a structure. I don’t have a set list of questions. I’m operate solely on instinct.

Thankfully, I’m also the last person to interview a candidate, so my team has already asked all of those technical, functional, experience-based interview questions.

By the time the candidate gets to me, I’m really looking to get to know them from a personality side of things. Will they fit into our corporate community? Will they gel with the team? Do they jive with our purpose? Are they looking for a long-term growth position or a stepping stone, short-term stint. These are the things I focus on in interviews.
