Don, I just attained a position in the new division of my department! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I AM 10-0 IN full-time positions and part-time positions over the last 9 years!!! You're a heavenly blessing!
I need to thank you for your sound advice and videos! I just accepted my first job out of grad school as an engineer!! and I negotiated pay higher than I expected! Building rapport is so essential and I believe that’s what helped me so much. This was only the second company I’ve ever interviewed for and your advice to bring my experiences into short term memory helped me rattle off projects like they just happened. Thank you thank you thank you
The job market is so odd right now. I've had several companies that I've had multiple interviews with and ultimately they've removed the posting, said they're changing directions, etc. Very sqirrely behavior...
I had a similar experience. I thought I was a lock for a position since I had a similar role in a parallel company that moved to another part of the country (I decided to stay local and not relocate with the company since it's numbers were not good as of late). Then I get my reply that they are repositioning the position with a couple added, tangential duties. These wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me in any way- but I have gotten fluent in the many languages of age discrimination excuses HR/Hiring Managers use.
Hi Don, thank you so much for your conversation-styled videos. It definitely feels like you're an old friend giving advice, which is calming before an interview. :') I have my second interview for a large nonprofit (my DREAM job!!) coming up, and while I believe that I have good rapport with the interviewer, I wonder if asking for the job on the spot is a no-no for those larger companies which (may) have lots of red tape. Do you think that that might put them in a weird spot if they would have rules about not being able to make a decision on the spot? I'm not sure if that's even a regulation, but it makes me hesitant knowing it's such a large company. Also, it's a panel interview if that makes a difference. Thank you again for all of your wonderful tips. I have been binging your videos over the last four weeks in preparation for my interviews :)
