What do You Think They Think You're Thinking?

Wouldn't it be great if you could read people's minds, especially as you're job-hunting? That way, you'd know how to pitch your cover-letter, answer the interview questions, and get the best possible job.

Well--maybe there would be a few glitches--that seems to be the ongoing premise in Jim Carrey-genre movies, anyway.

But it is still worth trying to psych out the folks sitting on the other end of your job application. Here's a trio of links that will help you understand, if not actually know for sure, what's on employers' minds. Specifically:

1. What do employers think happens on LinkedIn--and how do job-hunters actually behave? http://sironaconsulting.com/2014/12/01/10-reasons-why-there-is-a-disconnect-on-linkedinin-between-recruiters-and-candidates/
2. What are the myths and misconceptions about millenials--stuff that's wrong, but  you'll have to work hard to counteract it anyway, because the generation doing the hiring doesn't understand you?  http://www.bentley.edu/newsroom/latest-headlines/mind-of-millennial
3. What the heck did the interviewer ask me that for?  http://blog.jobrapp.com/logic-behind-typical-interview-questions-infographic
