@anna..papalia: 🤷🏼‍♀️Maybe you did nothing wrong in the interview. Maybe the hiring manager was participating in these 3 very common biases   Why Do We Have Biases? 🧠From an evolutionary standpoint, biases make perfect sense. Biases arise because of our use of heuristics, or rules of thumb, to govern much of our daily decision-making. Heuristics simplify decision-making by providing us with tried-and-true recipes. Rather than reanalyzing things from first principals we use a shortcut; we use rules of thumb.   However, heuristics are biased by nature and can lead to biased decision making.   🚗For example, most people feel that traveling 400 miles in an airplane is riskier than driving 400 miles in a car. Why? Because we tend to judge the frequency of events by the availability of recall, extraordinary events appear more prominent and frequent in our mind than ordinary events. Other biases exist as well, including presumed associations and misconceptions of chance.   In the workplace, these biases can result in substantial variations in who gets hired, promoted, and fired. Biases work both ways. You also probably harbor some unfair and unsubstantiated biases about people and professions. It is only fair that you too should strive to keep an open mind and challenge your own set of heuristics.   #hiring #jobsearch #biases #jobinterview #careertipstiktokcontest
