Obviously, skills are important and you are not likely to get a job just because you’re nice if you don’t appear able to do the job.

But given a qualified candidate who comes across as likeable and an equally qualified candidate who gives the hiring manager the impression that they are going to be a problem, the hiring manager will undoubtedly hire the likeable candidate.

It seems fairly obvious to state this but the question is really:

What makes one person come across as likeable and another person come across like a jerk?

Some people are just naturally likeable and immediately come across as such.

Some people give the impression of being aloof especially if they are quiet or detached and are perceived to be socially inept and as a result, not likeable.

Some people are good actors and can appear to be nice when they want something.

The point is that you make an impression during the interview process and the people you interview with make assumptions based on how you act and what you say.

When interviewing, always remember the following:

1. The hiring manager is determining not only if you can do the job but if you have the personality to get along with the other members of their group.

2. Being overly talkative during the interview might make you come across as being desperate or aggressive.

3. Being too quiet during the interview might give the impression that you are distant and aloof even if you’re not. This is an especially important point if the job you’re interviewing for requires a “talker.”
