I would hate to be interviewed by you. I have hired so many people in my professional life. I can tell with almost 95% certainty who will stick around and who will be a problem if I hire... I have hired someone less qualified though because the over experienced guy who tells you that he's looking for the best fit will probably keep interviewing for more money than what you can offer just to keep a paycheck in his pocket until he lands the job he really wants. Happens all the time. I DO NOT HIRE PEOPLE ANYMORE.. Just wanted to say that before I say this. DEI, and pro-noun users. Stop.... If you bring up pronouns in the interview then you would not be hired from me. I am fine with pronouns, but the hundreds of people I HR'd over I have no idea how they will react and I have no idea how you will react if someone kept accidently saying the wrong thing. Look, I am NOT going to risk losing very good employees over some new person with tattoos on their face, who uses pro-nouns and who is a risk of a lawsuit if one of the hundreds of employees says something stupid. It's not going to happen. DEI is racist. I refuse to be racist and I never bring up the word "equity" at work, because that is a racist word. I would never hire anyone based on the color of their skin. Not gonna happen. If you want the best, then hire the best people for the job regardless of color of their skin. Things have a way of working out in the end and you will always have a diverse staff. I will not use DEI to hire people when I don't use it I get better people from all colors.

I disagree 100% on not talking about the hours.. It may cost you the job, but in my experience these are the jobs you don't want to take. This is how I discovered companies that tend to require 2-3 hours of overtime each and every day. Basic Salary range expectations should be covered before you even step in for an interview too! It can be tightened down at a later stage. Stop supporting toxic recruitment and companies.

@brooksfire9580 2 года назад

I ask because I have other commitments. For example, I referee football on Thursday and Friday nights during the fall. I need to leave work by 5:00 to get to my games. I tell them that I will leave promptly at 5:00 and I'll be available afterwards around 10:00 or on the weekends if necessary. I've mostly never had a problem. And in the few occasions where there WAS a problem, I'm glad I stopped the interview process there - as I don't want to work night and weekends on a whim of management at the last minute. That company would be hell, and I wouldn't want to work there. It's my life too. Back when you took a job at 21 years old and stayed there 30 years until you retired, there was a different mindset. Hiring a 40+ year old with 20+ years of experience must change the mindset for companies as well, or they won't attract the best candidates.

I always get these answered right away (a range for salary) because I'm literally not going to interview if we're not even close. Yes, I'm in it for the money, it's literally the main thing 99% of us care about, but corporate do-gooders can't seem to grasp this. I have a talent that fits what you need, do you have the things that fit what I need?

Kids aren't optional making the hours question extremely relevant.

@jessicaharris1608 3 года назад

Parents need to know the work/shift hours but so do people who cannot work traditional day shift hours. My husband and I have both tried many times to work dayshift/morning jobs. Those types of hours are just not realistic for us. I finally am working overnights and my husband is working afternoons into late evenings/past midnight. We don't struggle with hours like those. Working day shift hours was torture for both of us. My brother left a job that had him working overnights because night shift was completely opposite to what his body was wired for. Dayshifts are like that for us. Don't waste our time by dangling a great sounding job in front of us and then tell us we need to get up at 6 or 7am to do the job! My husband and I grew up long before smartphones and computers were in children's bedrooms. (Ergo, blue light or electronics useage was NOT a factor for us being unable to sleep!) We couldn't sleep at a reasonable time and get up in the morning sufficiently rested. We're 35 and 40 years old, our night owl nature is inborn/genetic and if it was possible to change it WITHOUT enormous health costs WE WOULD HAVE DONE SO ALREADY! WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHIFT A JOB IS JUST AS MUCH AS PARENTS DO!

@user-jn4sw3iw4h 3 года назад

Those are genuinely relevant concerns, and something which you should ask about. There however is a significant difference between: "This is the home-situation I need to plan around, can this job facilitate that?" (a 'no' is a deal-breaker so I need to know) and (unintentionally) imply, 'I'll _be_ in the office _exactly_ the absolute minimum to not be fired (no guarantee, how much of this time I'll actually be working)' This point is introduced very firmly, but basically boils down to this

@@BoogerLeader agreed completely, no argument there. Like some other concerns raised here (pay, career opportunities), I agree they are important and consider the 'taboo' or 'need to be careful around the subject' a bad thing. However You have to consider how not just the question itself, but more importantly how *the fact you're asking* is perceived. 'You shouldn't be expected to work more than the 'normal' hours (40 in most branches) unless clearly stated' agreed. So why are you asking? If it is because you think they might not be as reasonable..... Do you really think it's wise to *say* that? Which is also the argument for the _'don't start about pay'_ point. Of course you care about what you get for it. But do you really want to give off the impression, you don't expect them to bring it up soon anyway? If they haven't by the time you reach the 'any more questions'-end of the conversation, sure go ahead. But as the opening 'i don't care about anything else'-question... probably not.

Salary is the first question always. It's pretty simple - these are my skills and this is what I'm offering to the business, I'm not interested in cultures, company families, team nights out, discounts etc. I'm interested in the job and what I can bring to the business to help it grow. It's allowed me to save my valuable time and walk out of interviews early after they either refuse to tell me their salary range or it turns out to be a low ball figure. I didnt 'miss an opportunity', I dodged a fucking bullet that's what happened and this approach has led to the biggest jumps in salary I've ever had.

If this is a salaried position, I disagree that asking about "How many hours..." is a bad thing. Seeing a $60K a year job salaried sounds nice on paper, but if they're expecting 60+ hours a week it means you're earning chump change. So for that question, it's a GOOD thing to ask if the position is salaried (unless you're a sadist and don't mind working ridiculous hours for chump change). In interviews where the position offered was salaried, I ALWAYS asked how many hours they were expecting. I only had one not call me back. $60K a year broken down into 60+ hour weeks makes for a lame remuneration that I'm not even remotely interested in. $60K a year based on an hourly (40 hour week) standard is good money and worth my interest. Honestly, only a sadist wouldn't ask about how many hours they're expecting for a salaried position (or someone who is really REALLY desperate to land ANY job). I know my worth. I know what I'm willing to work for. I don't impress easy with a large number on a piece of paper accompanied by "Salaried" beside it. I have lost count of how many times I have seen myself, or heard horror stories of that "Awesome/Well paying!" role that someone got that turned out to be pretty much working for minimum wage when you broke down how many hours you were putting in for the salary they offered. I've even seen people refuse to get promoted because they knew what was in store for them. Going from hourly to salary meant working more hours for WAY less money (when you broke down the pay per hour). It looked like more on paper, but the reality didn't follow suit. I know for myself, I will never work my finger to the bone for chump change and what amounts to pretty much minimum wage at an hourly exchange. Not worth it. But this is just my opinion on the subject. YMMV.

@setcheck67 3 года назад

The point is companies don't want a drone with zero interest in what they do. They want people to actually be interested in working there, because no amount of pay on earth will make someone give a shit if they didn't from the beginning. Even at 1 million an hour, the person would work 1 hour and then leave. It's a big difference between someone who will only work at the rate they believe they are worth and someone who is just doing a job because "fuck it gotta work". The former person companies will bend over for, because that person will actually get things done.

@glitchwitchery 3 года назад

I've seen a couple of your videos so far, and they are helpful. However, I question you saying "don't ask about salary, because then I know what your motivation is.' Employers need to pull their heads out of their bums and realize that anyone's ONLY motivation for working for someone else day in and day out is the amount of money they will be making in exchange for it. They give their LIVES over, but employers can't talk pay upfront without feeling used? To me as a would-be interviewee, an employer who doesn't want to discuss pay is a red flag. By the way, YOU said you discuss pay during the interview, but most employers will NOT until they offer the job to you.

@ab3240 2 года назад

I think his point was actually a lot more nuanced then "don't ask." It's more about asking about salary too early. The way he explained it, the final offer you are given is ultimately chosen after multiple people discuss it and review your performance in the overall interview. So, while it's totally reasonable to get a feel for what range they typically offer for the position to see if an agreement could be reached, coming straight through the door and trying to discuss exactly what you would be paid for the position comes off the wrong way. It comes off as a bit overly self-interested and presumptuous if done poorly. I agree that employers who refuse to discuss salary until the end are typically trying to use you. They generally have a one size fits all starting salary, and it sucks. So they don't tell you until the end because they don't want to scare people away.

@googleuser1522 3 года назад

I personally despise salary questions...at least in jobs where pay is completely up to negotiation. If you can’t disclose pay scale in the job listing, I suspect it’s going to be low. By disclosing pay, the issue is put in front and answered before moving forward. My “most pleasant” interview was over in 30 seconds when pay was disclosed. The hiring manager apologized and said it was set by corporate and he had no say in the matter. We then spent 30 minutes having a wonderful conversation about life in the area, and he spoke at length how the set pay and cost of living conflict made it hard for him to find workers.

'Don't ask about hours' Ahh, yes, so that the HR person can sell you on a bunch of 'benefits' that you will never get, like work-life balance or company outings, because your role is expected to work loooooong hours, (which also really reduces your pay for the amount of work you do). I'm going to ask, while outlining that I understand a 50-55 hour work week is normal, but I need to know if 70-hour weeks are the norm, because its a no-go for me.

@ragingskeptic9753 Год назад

A 50-55 hour work week is normal? Not for me. I give the company exactly what they give me - the bare minimum for me to keep a job there. I’m a finance manager (3 years) making $50k per year. I’m simply resume building and waiting for the right opportunity to apply to. Our attrition rate among 600 employees is 65%, and there’s a reason for that.

Let me start off by saying I'm really enjoying these videos; it's interesting to hear things from your side of the table. I have to say I think your opening approach to this one is intimidating though. I think you could sell just as many people on your coaching without using language like 'it's a minefield and you will not survive if you take one wrong step'! I've never done your job but I've also never gone to an interview without getting the job offered to me so I'm often asked for advice and I've even gone along with friends to listen from the waiting room to what they actually say so I can advise. I can honestly say the ONLY difference between them and me is confidence. I've never had an answer for your salary question, and I've always asked my questions to the interviewer as we go along so I rarely have anything left by the time they ask me what I want to know, and yet I always get an offer because I go in knowing what they're looking for and knowing I'm the right fit. Don't pick a job you're not either qualified for or have a serious interest in and go for it - if you don't think you're the right fit then the recruiter certainly won't. And make sure you've made every effort to be the top of the pile before you walk in - the number of times I've had a recruiter say I'm the ONLY applicant whose cover letter even bothered to match my qualifications to the job requirements is shocking. I make it my job to make THEM feel comfortable. Most people won't remember what you say but they'll remember how you make them feel. Radiate competence. Back to the subject at hand: I don't think it's helpful to fill people with fear of messing up - if you simply direct them to what works they don't have all that negative crap making them second guess themselves during the interview.
