You are amazing, killed my 1st interview. Next one in 5 minutes. Been watching you non stop for 2 days straight. Also asked the “do you have any hesitations regarding my resume or any of the answers I have provided?” And she said absolutely NOT! Thank you for the knowledge!!!
Thank you so much for your videos. I just accepted a job offer of a lifetime. Your advise helped me glide through the interview process. Again, thank you!
I have to give you kudos for all your content and how thoughtful and clear it is in helping others to prepare for interviews. I’ve been out of the workforce for 9 years and listened to your video tips, prepared my situations and practiced my interview answers out loud. It made me feel confident and less anxious which truly came across in my interviews. I interviewed with 2 companies in 1 week and received 2 offers that same week!! Thank you for helping me see how valuable I am and why I’m a good candidate for the jobs. Going through the preparation helped to reinforce my value and minimize my anxiety of “am I good enough”. Thank you so much!!!
I think I didn't make this question well today with my interview, I think I went out of the topic. My answer was this " One of my co-workers was often rude to me and how they approach me was always a conflict, and I just understand them that maybe they are having a bad day and having some stressful, heavy work load. And I handle the situation in a professional manner and asked her "was there anything that made you upset from me, or did I say something that offended you?" and if she keeps being rude to me I will address the issue to my manager. LOL I was so nervous I couldn't even make up a story.
I’ve been there before lol, it’s even more tricky when English is not your primary language and you really never handled a difficult situation professionally, i personally either let it slide or go off on that person xd
This helped me very much! thank you. I used your tips and did great on the interview however I did not get the job but the manager gave me a referral for another position and I am interviewing again for another role. Thank you!
Can I just say that I’m absolutely love all of your videos I’ve watched so far you have given me more insight then I have ever received in the past couple of years literally ! I love the fact you explain questions and answers in full by far you’ve helped me more than any job provider company in Australia ever has so I thank you so very much for that
I really appreciate you making these videos. I recently had an interview with Macy's for sales manager position. All your videos had greatly helped me to outshine in both of the interviews.
@@CassThompsonConsulting Yesterday, I got a call from Macy's and I got the job. Thank you once again for your videos especially on the behavioral questions and STAR method.
I gave the answer as I was on a rotating roster with a new employee, management asked for a diligent job to be completed however I noted she was incorrectly managing the procedure for the duty. It caused me to feel I was not upholding company standard if I continued to work how she was shown. I confronted her with my concern and communicated I can show her the right process. She was at first not welcoming of my comments but with great skill in being calm, direct yet constructive I was able to show the new employee the correct company standard of procedure. In the end I was able to suggest to management further training for our team and I also felt from the resolution I gained further skills in handling conflict resolution. My manager was pleased with how I dealt the situation! The star method really helps. Before star I would Ramble on aboit skills but never give a story to picture! Thanks Cass
This is such a difficult question for me because I literally have NEVER had conflicts with any of my coworkers or boss. What do I do? I am NOT an angel but conflict is NOT something I have experienced. I love everybody and everybody seems to love me. What do I do? I am NOT bragging. I wish I can think of some situation or something bad about somebody else to say. But I can never think of anything 😫
@@simik4981 Judging much? I have worked for more than 10 years in the financial sector. My best example of a conflict is when dealing with a customer, and that was back when I worked a college job. But when it comes to people I actually work with, I've never had any conflict with any one of them.
It has been a long time since i got invited to an interview.... I really pray they don't ask me this qn, coz I memorize my points, and if it is too long i tend to forget :0
Fortunately, I know how to handle this question but what about: Describe a situation where you wished it went differently. I'm stuck on this one. I suppose I can make something up within reason if I can't think of one. What is a good way to handle this? Thanks!
Hi.I have an interview tomorrow. Wat if I just tell them that I never had a conflict with a customer then i say like "in case it happens I would deal with them this way...."how about that?becoz am bad at making up stories😭😭
Katerina i read you comment and i am dealing with the same situation, english is not my first language but i am doing my best in the interviews, people in USA are so kind and polite don't worry about your language and do your best :) i wish you the best.
It looks like she skipped the T in the STAR method. Does anyone have any ideas on how to elaborate on that? Since it stand for "task", I'm imagining the question might be something like "What was the task at hand that was supposed to be completed?"
Situation and task often blend together or pair together, so when you give the situation, you next give the task or goal within the situation. Situation/task are basically giving CONTEXT to the Action you are about to take.
I think its BS we cant throw toxic leadership under the bus. If they were truly toxic, they should be exposed, hence why maybe someone is looking for a new job. Its a valid reason in my opinion
Its a valid reason to want a new job, it's really hard in an interview to prove it was TRULY toxic since you're talking to strangers who don't know the experience, and can come off like you're just complaining. It takes a lot of finesse to show it was actually toxic.
So basically you want to lie in interviews... sigh. Why is this even a thing? Doesn't anyone want the truth anymore? If your boss was a monster or a bully, you're supposed to say, oh, well, you know, he or she was busy and overloaded. TOTALLY not their fault and they could so not control their emotions. My bad... I think if your boss was a bad one, you should be able to say it. You should be able to say I tried this that and the other and the jerk was just a jerk. Maybe not that blunt but come on! We have all had sucky bosses at one time or another. But we're supposed to excuse them... this is how they stay sucky!!
I never said lie. Don’t believe in lying as a good way to do anything. But it’s where you put your focus- don’t spend all your time focusing on what they did wrong but how you dealt with whatever situation you’re in. Again- it’s like a first date- you say your last partner was a mess, that’s one thing. You go on And on about how terrible they were and your date is gonna have questions. Also, go with your gut. You don’t want to take the advice? That’s totally fine, but don’t comment that I said you should lie. Never said that.
