The Job Interview You Already Lost: What Machiavelli Knew About Power

Описание: Your preparation was foolproof; you left no stone unturned. You had the experience, the skills, and the perfect answers. So why did they hire the other person? The uncomfortable truth is that modern hiring isn't about competence; it's about power, perception, and fear.

In this video, we dissect the dark psychology of the job interview using lessons from Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and Roman history. We explore why "looking the part" often matters more than actually being able to do the job and how silence, status signalling, and "gravitas" can win you the position before you even speak.

If you are tired of losing opportunities to less qualified people, you need to stop selling competence and start selling certainty.

In this video, we cover:

Why the "best" candidate rarely wins.

The psychology of "thin-slicing" and first impressions.

How to use the "Halo Effect" to your advantage.

Why hiring managers fear "competence" but love "confidence".

Lessons from The Prince applied to modern corporate strategy.
