Video illustrates 'how to' and 'how not to' behave at an interview for an apprenticeship. Produced by Careers Jersey and Freedom Media. Kindly sponsored by Le Masurier, Jersey.
In my apprenticeship interview, they asked what I'll be doing after the apprenticeship. I said to continue growing have them sign me up for a new apprenticeship immediately after and said that the moment you think you're done learning, is the moment you've given up.
I would bet big money without a doubt he wouldn't of lasted that long just by his personality. That would come back to you for hiring him. So yeah in a bar sure hang out with the first guy but when it comes to work be smart and hire the guys that are more sharp. This is a business.
THANK YOU SOO SOO SOO SOO MUCH!! it was because of watching this video so many times everyday, I ACED my INTERVIEW for an ADMINISTRATIVE APPRENTICESHIP !!
These are multiple parallel universes. One where Max is getting it wrong, and one where he is getting right. And then there's the hidden one, where he is just plain getting it.
The first interview is actually really good. My foreman loves this shit. Hire people with no prospects that no one else will hire, give them dirt wages to move dirt all day.
As a 3rd year apprentice plumber, with all of the companies I've been with(3 so far) the 'interview' was very informal. Pretty much a 2 minute phone conversation with every single one of them. Two of them didn't even look at my resume before hand. This video does not portray the trade world whatsoever.
I've started an apprenticeship and I play in a band, there will still be just as much opportunity with music as with my plumbing, its called commitment and dedication to your passions and job
end of the day, the person interviewing you wants to see that 1. you actually give a shit about the job and not the money or anything else 2. you got what the job application needs for you to actually be able to definetely get the job, just make sure you listen to point one.
opposite ends of the scale for illustration of course, the first guy was a pretty good communicator compared so some that I meet, I mean he has a reasonable amount of confidence and eye contact
Haha - I used to be like this! Dropped out of school. Skateboarded. Played in bands thinking I was going to be a rock star... haha. Took me YEARS to get it right. If you are anything like this first personality, seriously you need to change! Funny looking back at it now! Has a LOT to do with who you hang out with ; )
haha the first part almost gave me thoughts about liking the vid but anyways its a great impression the vid is great,its good to know what to do and not to do...
To anyone who is actually watching this for advice, both of those blew. Interviews are like a first date; just be yourself and be organic. Have firm answers. It shows that you aren't rehearsed and don't say "um.." every other fucking word.
I'm amazed a 17 year old is being interviewed for this. I was in high school then and doing summer jobs but that was all. I am surprised they would sign a minor in high school up for an apprenticeship. I would think you would have to finish high school at least to try this.
To be honest I don’t think the second interview was that great either, he didn’t really speak about his previous experience very much when he was telling the interviewer about himself
this is so unfair. the interviewer should appreciate the fact that he's being completely honest. he would probably turn out to be one of their best workers, but instead they will turn him down and hire someone one who lies to them just to tell them exactly what they want to hear.. this is why so many companies end up with employees who slack off and cheat and steal.... if they would hire the guy who's being honest they would have better employees.
I think the first guy was better in most ways. The only thing that would stop me from hiring him is that he sounds like a guy who wouldn't show up at the right time.
