What factors influence the way we perceive people? How might these factors influence the
judgments an interviewer makes about a job applicant?
As we all know Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their
sensory perceives to give a substantial meaning to their environment. However, what one may
perceive can be substantially different from objective reality real life. Perception is usually
influenced by different factors which include the attitude that an individual has or takes on.
Most people might have different attitudes towards other people when they look at their outside
appearance or when it comes to gender because of some experiences that they might have gone
through or feel they should have not gone through. In society today perception is something that
can make you or break up you just because of what someone think of you for no apparent reason.
The other factor that might influence perception is the experience that the perceiver might have
gone through in life or encountered along the way.
Time can also influence perception for example in a situation where one does not have enough
time to look deeply into a situation it might make the individual come up with conclusion
according to perception. Most of perception influence the peers where one can detect their
behaviors by looking at them. In an interview when perception is used by the interviewer, they
may at some point end up not selecting the right person and taking the wrong one who might
become a disaster to the organization in the end.
Anyone that is an interviewer must go into that interview with a blind eye and not looking to go
off things they have heard versus the things they researched from the resume they have provided
along with the references they supply.
