STOP ARGUING IN JOB INTERVIEWS - IT KILLS OFFERS
WHY HIRING MANAGERS WANT A "YES MAN".

Hiring managers make decisions that often seem mysterious to job seekers. One of the most common complaints is, “They only wanted a yes man.” But is that really the case? Or is something else going on behind the scenes? The hiring process is more complex than most people realize. Candidates focus on technical skills, résumés, and interview prep, but managers are balancing completely different pressures. They’re responsible for juggling dozens of priorities at once, often making hard choices they don’t enjoy. When a candidate misunderstands those dynamics, rejection feels unfair or even personal. This is where the idea of the “yes man” comes in. Many job seekers walk away from interviews convinced they lost out simply because they didn’t nod along or flatter the manager. That assumption can lead to frustration, bitterness, and even paranoia about the entire job market. But there’s another explanation that’s far more common - and far more useful to understand. By looking at interviews from the manager’s side of the table, you begin to see why certain behaviors leave a strong impression. Sometimes the difference between an offer and a rejection isn’t skill at all, but whether the interaction made the manager’s life easier or harder. If you’ve ever wondered why qualified candidates get turned down or why rejection letters feel so impersonal, this perspective will give you clarity. Understanding the real dynamics of how managers evaluate people can change the way you approach every application, every interview, and every conversation with a potential employer.

There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner! My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school.

This channel is a platform to help job seekers, entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful in their careers. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, more employed job seekers, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about.

Who Am I?
I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have an engineering degree, and a master's degree in finance.

I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. I have also mentored startup founders and teach business and HR at a post-graduate level.

Why I Want To Involve My Community:
The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make?

Thank you for being here and reading this, best of luck, and have yourself an amazing day!
