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.
