Credibility & Charisma Applied

My son Nick had a friend trying to get a job. She had been on many interviews and everyone seemed to like her. She said that during the interviews they went so well, that after it they would want to buy her lunch, take her out for cocktails, take her out to dinner, go on walks, whatever. She had these great interviews and everybody really liked her, but she didn’t get even one job offer.

I was coaching my son on using all these same skills we have been talking about during this program, and we were specifically at the part talking about credibility and approachability.

She said, “That’s what it is! I’m always approachable. People love me. I’m a friendly wonderful person. But I guess obviously they must not believe me that much.”

She said she had a job interview the next day that she really wanted but wasn’t a chance she’d get the job. It was working for the state and was a very high powered position where they wanted many years of experience. She said, “I don’t have a chance. I just got out of college. I’m trying to get my first real job, so there’s no way I’ll get this job.”

But I coached her a bit and she went on the interview anyway, and called me a couple days later. She told me she was hired over people with many years of experience in this position.

She started off as approachable. She was pleasant, she’d have a conversation and chat, then they’d ask her an important job related question and she’d switch into credible. She’d move into this place where she spoke with authority, power and conviction using these credible tones and gestures.

They finished that question, and maybe there was a little pleasant “approachable” banter back and forth for a minute. then they’d ask her another question, and she’d move into credible. To make a long story short, she got the job.

Be Your Best Self

This is powerful stuff when you use it effectively. Use the skillset of presence. If you want to have a commanding presence, part of what you need to do is you need to read people, you need to determine are they a visual an auditory or a kinesthetic.

You need to be able to move in and out of credibility and approachability. You don’t need to be one or the other you need both. It is normally best to start being approachable and friendly. They you move into credible. You can go back and forth (even fairly quickly) but keep the skillsets separate.

Up Your Skills

There was a group of attorneys who were experts in using this strategy of credibility vs. approachability or charismatic. They went to law firms who were interviewing attorneys for positions.

One group of the attorneys always acted only credible. A second group of attorneys who were applying for the job were always approachable. The third group was first approachable then credible. And the fourth group was always credible then approachable.

Of those groups being interviewed, the attorneys who were first approachable then credible, got more than double the number of job offers, than all three of the other groups put together.

So, first be approachable then be credible.
