I don't give a damn about interviews. I barely socialize, smile or show interest in many things, I am a self taught artist and don't need to seek validation from other people to work in their job's like normal people do because they don't know any tricks and the ability to make money on their own without having to work for anyone with anyone. I admire my own company and my comfort zone is where I demonstrate perfection when I'm working by myself. I'm not afraid of going to an interview and getting rejected or accepted I'm afraid I won't do well with people in the job and that the job doesn't pay enough and let me have time for myself whenever I want
After walking in all confident, and then you quickly realize you messed up one of the answers and now you are choking more than ever. And then all hell breaks lose in your head.
That question "tell me about yourself" is probs the hardest one to answer. I'm so nervous I have an interview at 12 and I'm grinding these videos lmfao
Cheyenne Goodbear Spirit Halloween in NJ, but UPDATE!! I got the job, I was only asked 3 questions and none of them were "tell me about yourself". The interviewer was the manager and she was super cool, the whole time we were just gossiping about shit that happens and has happened around the store 😂😂
I average about 2-4 interviews a week and rarely, if ever, extended a job offer. Before, I was frustrated with the job market, but now I'm completely disillusioned from it and with capitalism in general. If you want guaranteed employment for everyone, it's time to start reorganize every existing company into a workers cooperative.
@DarthVadent - It's been a year since your comment. Found anything yet? If you attend multiple interviews like that and no luck, it may be time to start your own business or become an independent contractor. If you're not interested in going that route then maybe examine your resume? There are companies that help you setup your resume and tell you what you were doing wrong on it. It could also be how you're presenting yourself at interviews. Or maybe you are looking for jobs that you're not really skilled in. Could be a number of things. I am frustrated with job hunting as well and I'm considering going the independent contractor route. Job hunting is very frustrating and time consuming. Especially since employers look at even the most superficial stuff.
Whenever I see a comment like this I worry. Why would you NEED to make up lies? All they want is to know about you as a professional and how it relates to the position. If you have actual work experience just pick examples that are true. Unless you did nothing at all worth mentioning then be honest.
I hate the way employers want you to brag at interviews, shake hands with strangers, maintain eye contact, smile-look interested, wear a suit, say nothing at all negative... Is it just me, or are employers looking for politicians rather than workers?
I totally agree. Part of the reason why I and so many people tend to get nervous during interviews is mainly because of how fake it is. I sometimes wonder if employers understand that the people working for them are just faking it trying to act "professional." Being "professional" is not a normal human behavior and it's really easy to see through people
+TreborHG_93 I agree. I absolutely haaatteee interviews. I feel really weird bragging about myself and I feel like the jobs just give to the pretty people anyways. I think you should have to try out for a job instead of who can brag about themselves better. I also think we should go back to apprenticeships instead of having to spend tens of thousands of dollars on an education that doesn't guarantee work. I could do any job, as long as I was trained. Most people could.
Samantha Sullivan I get what you are saying. I feel it whenever I walk into an interview and don't get the job because I just don't have the skill to brag and enlarge those skills, even though I have proven that when you let me do the job, I am as good or even better than the other candidates. I actually just had an interview a few weeks ago and I ended up getting the job. The interviewer placed more emphasis on getting to know me rather than getting me to talk about the experience that I already have on my resume.
I really hate them..probly as much as those bogus tests. Maybe if I was the kind of person that could show off my legs I would get the job ): though you have to wear pants anyway. I NEVER get a job because I can't be fake at all. I'm the type of person that if I don't like someone I will show it (the reverse as well..I can't hide crushes even when I try) If I'm depressed you will also see it which job hunting makes me depressed and a lot of people have said online that they don't hire someone who they suspect is depressed.
I always go in so nervous to an interview but as soon as i arrive on time and they tell me theyre gonna need more time, i lose all respect and i stop being nervous ....
A long time ago, I got into an interview with a guy that actually turned ugly very quickly. This guy started out trying to catch me in a lie type of thing and very soon, it went from bad to worse. When I look back on it, I think I did the right thing by just saying "Look, if you don't want to hire me, it's fine. By the end of the day, I'll have a new job going, no matter what. Have a good one, goodbye" and then, leaving the area. Unknown to you, some people have it in for you, long before you step into that office and not much of what you're going to say, is going to make ANY difference one way or the other. In that situation, you need to focus on what's most important to you (not to them). Your TIME is extremely valuable, MUCH more than you actually think. Don't waste another precious second of it, on some corporate slug badl. Don't lose your temper (maybe a little but that's all). Don't lose your FOCUS. Just accept reality for what it is and move forward from that situation, ASAP (as soon as possible). Focus on that list you made BEFORE you headed out of the house on YOUR job hunt - and ONTO the NEXT one on your hit list. Stupid people are the gamut these days and they're everywhere. Beware. Don't let them waste your precious time. Good hunting.
simply put, I command respect regardless of age. I treat all my interviewers with respect but if one doesn't, then I'll walk out of the interview and on the way complain to someone higher up the food chain.
"Always wear a suit". Okay, what about if you are applying for a job in construction or transportation? How about the people getting a minimum wage job in fast food or retail? I think the rule to "always" wear a suit only applies if your going for something like management, financial services or some kind of administrative or office position.
I was taught to dress one step above what the day-to-day wear is. So, for a jacket-and-tie job, a suit is appropriate; for a construction job, a decent pair of slacks and a conservative casual shirt is fitting. (This is for men; for women, mutatis mutandis.)
Even though, I don't think everyone working in an office could get a suit for an interview. What if you're just doing something like data entry or a basic secretarial role?
I don't even own any types of clothing other than Carhartt t-shirts and regular blue jeans. That's literally all I ever wear normally. Of course I only go for jobs where that's the type of clothing you wear anyway. I made it until last year at age 37 when I had my very first job interview. Before that I got jobs by knowing someone who recommended me, or randomly showing up on a jobsite to meet the boss in person. My last job I got, I called a number from a Craigslist ad, and simply told them my experience. They said to show up at such and such time, and that was that. I've had that same job for 11 years now.
I always thought interviews were silly to base someone's ability to successfully work a job by the way they can speak about themselves all grandiose like a braggart. Like you're really gonna hire someone over a conversation that sounds good to the employer.
That one diffusing answer: "I like to focus on the job, not my personal life" is perfect for those prying men in Words with Friends: "Are you married?" etc. Now I'll know to say "I prefer to focus on the game, and not my personal life." I'm so sick of men hitting on me when I just want to play a game!
Nowadays you are essentially being assessed on how well you can answer questions in an interview, rather than how well you could actually perform in the job.
I honestly wish that it could be more real and straight to the point. I am just 100% myself and confident in it. If someone doesn't like me for who I am, I don't want to work there.
Interviews are stupid.. I Had 2 successful jobs for 6 and 8 years and never had a job interview, was given a week's trial on both and impressed straight away
I didn't actually get the job but i called back around 2 weeks after the interview and the feedback i got from the manager after my interview was that "it went well overall but that they found more suitable candidates that had more experience in Bikes." Even though i didn't get the job, it was my first ever interview but just the interview itself gave me more confidence for future ones, just practice what you will say and show you have an understanding of the company you're applying for. :)
I was 6 when this video was uploaded, happy and carefree without worrying about my future. Now I'm 17 and I'm watching this because I have three interviews (two for college and one for a job) within the next week. WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!!! 😭
Tell me about yourself: I got fired of everywhere, I pee a lot, I am on facebook all day, I have head lice, bad breath, I collect soda cans for living, I go to church for free meals.
You aren't afraid to be a rebel, you have a medical condition that's none of my business, you know how to use social media to connect with our customers, you love insects, you don't waste water, you recycle, and you are good with money....You're hired.
@@nmana9759 better luck next time, also try to stand out, they interview 40 people a day and only 1 or 2 people get the job, they usually pick the ones that stood out to them, so be confident, follow all these tips, and make sure you stand out.
Because of this, I aced the scholarship interview on Friday & found out yesterday that I was chosen for the two year scholarship for the school im attending too! Thank you!
lol i had this friend who went for a interview, i ask him what happened? he said, everything was fine, then they asked what would he like to ask them about their company. this moron asks "umm, what is your name" ? xD
When they say "tell me about yourself" give them a quick appraisal of your professional history and what you aspire to do in the future then ask them to tell you about the company. Don't have an interview, have a conversation. You want to know about them so don't sit like a robot merely answering questions.
actually, that is the worst possible way, they are looking for someone who will make them the most money, which means they need the best worker, these different requirements/tips for interviews are designed to hit those points they are looking for; coming in with a suit proves you are not lazy, shaking their hand firm and introducing yourself proves you are confident, asking to sit down proves you are capable of following, if they just hire you based off of your qualifications they have a good chance of getting a bad employee, if they interview everybody and pick the one who stands out as a good employee and good worker, they get one of the bet they can.
What I've noticed is most interviews aren't as scary you make it in your mind. You want the job and obviously they want to give you a job if they called you for an interview, so if you go in there with that mindset you'll breeze through the interview, and always be honest and not scripted and you'll be fine. I'll be using my own advice very soon since I'm temporarily unemployed . Oh, and turn your cell off. LOL when she answered the phone in the interview I was like she just gave that job away to the person behind her, lol.
One good tip that really helped me land some jobs is to never EVER break eye contact, pretend you are interviewing them (size them up). Try not to blink for as long as possible, but when you do it should be used tactically to either disrupt the interviewers train of thought when they're looking skeptical, or to show surprise (When you all the sudden blink after not doing it for a long time, when it finally happens they will be drawn into that moment WEIRD but it works).
Well dine! without youtube videos on job interview or school teachers ,teaching us from time about interviews i would be a nervouse reck thanks to this channel i have every confidence now.
I applied and got an interview for a pizza place & thought I failed the interview because I didn't give him a handshake, he didn't offer me one either though. A few days later I got hired, so I don't think the handshake thing applies currently depending where the place of employment is
As a person who is a recruiter.....remember, this is an opportunity for you to find out if you're a fit for the organisation too. For example: If you're left waiting a long time after your interview was due to commence ..consider if they are showing you respect and will that apparent lack of respect translate to the work place. I recommend asking about money up front. $ paid is an indicator of the value they place on the job and the skills they require of the employee. Why shouldn't you know.
+Beat2beat100 Not hired that's for sure. You can say you take to much time to make things perfect, but you've set up a time managing system. Your strength could be being a fast learner. Which can assist your weakness. Even if its a lie! Muahahaha
Eileen Dunn is it really okay to lie in interview? im new im so nervous and im shy person ill go ininterview this coming fri. hi dunno what to say im so nervous im watching tips for interview and i started to get nervous i cant normaly breath 😭😭😭
Ceejhay Distor whenever I'm looking to hire someone, my biggest pet peeve is when someone tells me they have no weaknesses. What I DO like to hear is a weakness being turned into a positive or a learning tool. "Time management Is my weakness but I'm learning to delegate and prioritize my responsibilities"
@@alaaaaa4132 😂😂😂 Brah! This comment was from 11 years ago when I was only a teenager going for my first Job ever, in McDonalds! If you're wondering, I actually got the job, ended up working there 5 years while in college... 😂😂😂 I love RU-vid. P.s. I still have sweaty palms, but as I got older I rock that shit with confidence.
@@alaaaaa4132 😂😂 actually no I didn't get that job. Just saw my other comment. This interview must have been for a shoe shop but I got the McD's one shortly after 😂😂... You have me floating through RU-vid archives.
Rebecca J he never called me back telling I got hired. You shouldn't call a company like crazy they will no longer consider you if you do that. I called him like a week or two later that's it and he said that he hasn't hired anyone yet he still had a round of interviews. The call was weeks ago. I have applied at other places. The companies I apply for don't seem to be that desperate which makes the chances of getting a job much harder! Because when I called food lion again after a few weeks the hiring manager said the store manager just got back from vacation blah blah she said same thing last time I called her back when she called me about my application over the summer So I don't know I might just go back to school like go to college because it's getting ridiculous!
Jacqueline Cody My mother used to work at a job agency and she got people jobs by telling them to call like crazy. When you want to work for some place bad enough, you bug them and even if it comes off desperate- that just shows more incentive to hire you. I have been hired at most jobs this way- even some jobs I was waaaaay under qualified for (as of right now, I am over qualified since I have a PHD.) Remember, they only hire people who actually WANT to work there. Sadly, it's seasonal work for us right now and that's usually filled in by August or September. Good luck in whatever you choose! If you have the opportunity to skip working and go back to school- do it. But, if you really want to work, be persistent! Show you WANT that job! :)
Rebecca J well I resubmit my applications and follow up after a few days. I am just saying you shouldn't call everyday, because my dad told me what happened to the person who called everyday, and he didn't get the job. I believe it, sure it shows how much you want the job calling them, it shows how interested you are, but since he called everyday it just showed how impatient he really is! You got to remember companies are busy, that's is annoying, you shouldn't call them everyday. Kudos to you good for you glad you got the job.. but I wouldn't recommend calling them like crazy. I would be personally annoyed and not consider the person by doing that, if I was the hiring manager. I think I am doing the right thing, so I could care less what YOU think of my opinion!
Correct! I'm currently at my 12 job now and when I constantly called them 3-4 times a day, better believe they called me back! I was then able to show them that I wouldn't let them down!
Good Tips. When I worked as a Vocational Consultant and Job Coach, I had to tell people time and time again to NOT wear any damn perfume or cologne, wear a simple, clean suit (That fits!) and to keep their damn cell off. I can't tell you how many times a person who was so right for the job got remembered for their inappropriate clothing and got ditch from the consideration pile. Show your personality after you get hired... play the game and be conservate in your dressing if you want a damn job!
You make a good point. Before I went to law school I had an interview for a job at a factory. I wore a suit and tie to the interview and the interviewer took one look at me, asked me if I've ever worked in a factory before, and ended the interview.
I wouldn't recommend wearing a suit unless you're interviewing at major corporation. It really depends on the level of casualty your industry requires, and then take it up a step. I went into my last interview in a T-shirt (collared) and blue jeans (dark blue, no wrinkles, no rips at the cuffs) and walked away a shortlisted candidate.
Best tips for job interview: 1. Wear something nice, if your a woman, don't reveal too much cleavage 2. They want to get just a "taste" of your personality, not sit through War of The Roses.. keep it short and sweet 3. Don't talk about negative experiences in your past regarding schooling or past jobs, sound POSITIVE 100% through the interview, leave a good taste in their mouth 4. Use common sense -no gum, no phones, good hygeine 5. Talk about your strengths 6. Have a good demeanour
I have my first ever job interview tomorrow!! 😩😩😩 So scared and nervous, but excited too! I don't want to keep my hopes up too high, but I hope they hire me! 😩😭
Have a school interview tomorrow. If i get asked tell me about yourself, usually i shake the question away and turn the convo other way round, (my introversion as an ambivert shows) but idk what i will do at a formal interview. Give them a weird look? Aaah idk idk idk. I like to keep it personal!!!! I'm rather good at interviewing people. Not the other way round!
I love how I'm splurging on vids like these just for a job interview at a Video Game store tomorrow. It's not like I'm applying for W.H.O, but it's still better to be prepared =)
Thanks for this! I always get stuck when people ask me to tell them about myself because its such a simple question i forget people ask it and i don't know what to say about myself.
obviously this could be interpreted in different ways depending on the job role. For example bold colours-depends on the type of interview/shop/company and bringing a copy of your resume >_> I've never had to UNLESS they told me to bring one before hand.
