With so much being at stake, isn’t it perfectly understandable that many candidates may succumb to nerves during an interview? The problem is that these nerves can indeed impair their interview performance and hinder the interview process – In fact, studies back up the idea that nervous candidates may be in fact disguising underlying brilliance. (deleted the text describing the studies but they all showed results counter to the popular belief the extroverts would be the high achievers) So, if you are hiring for roles with a collaborative element consider that the more nervous and neurotic may make a very positive contribution. Now, I am in no way suggesting that you exclusively hire introverts because you need a balanced team and introversion is just one of many qualities and skills which can lead to the employee being a higher performer. But, that is the point; while you should not hire someone just because they are introvert, equally it does not make sense to overlook someone because their introversion and neuroticism may have affected their presentation during the interview. WHAT ABOUT THE POMPUS/GLIB NEUROTICS?
