@missy23232: Career and interview tips from a talent executive who spent 20+ years on the other side of the table. If you say 'um' & 'like' when you're nervous in interviews or in front of leadership, this habit could be quietly holding your career back. After 20+ years making talent and people decisions at the executive level, I've seen the same mistakes cost great candidates great opportunities. These videos exist so you don't have to learn the hard way. #careertips #careeradvice #professionaldevelopment #workplacetips #jobsearchtips
Facts! I was in a meeting and we counted the times a director used "like".

My mother, educator & reading specialist - always told me that if I feel “Um” don’t say anything & that technically it isn’t a word. BEST advice she’s given me 🩷💜

I don’t say um but I pause longer than normal between words. It makes me feel like I am speaking poorly. How bad is that?

Recruiter for 10 years…the moment you say one ummm, like, and of those filler words…that’s all I hear. And I subconsciously start counting. There is a tone or a cadency I hear immediately & will know if you’ll get an offer or not.

I learned to pause or be silent until I reach for the right words

I can admit this because I’m no longer in corporate… When I used to interview sales people, I would count how many times they said “Umm” and write it on my feedback form. Those almost always went in the no-hire pile. In a sales environment, it discredits the person speaking.

I tend to be more forgiving when English is their second language, especially when we hire internationally.
