Andy, I literally used this tip TODAY after getting your email yesterday. Interviewer said "whoa, we hadn't considered that... when can you start?!" Accepting tomorrow!
Listened to a few of your videos in time for a third interview today that was with highest level execs, and got the offer this afternoon for what I asked!
Hi Andy...I referred to all your videos on RU-vid. I planned and prepared accordingly; I got the offer for a senior and a much more strategic role within my company....thanks a lot for your help!!!!!
How do you know if you are in hell? Answer: when someone who could be your grandson is firing you because you showed them all the technical mistakes they were making. It went like this... Manager: we really need this problem fixed. Experienced worker: these standards and design rules were broken. Follow the design guides and the problem will be fixed. Manager: that is your opinion. Experienced worker: Not opinion. Look, here is what the books, industry design guides, manufacturer application notes all say. Manager: you are fired, leave now.
I remember once... walking through the steps... and the recruiter only wanted to hear buzz words. We should have ended the interview way sooner. I was so checked out after that.
I won't lie, it's tough. It had been months since I started. Some interviews, lots of dashed hopes. Now I'm waiting for the next stage of the interview (crossed one recorded and one online interview). The process was interrupted over Christmas and New Year. It's mentally draining. I've given up on other offers while I drag myself through this company's hiring process because this best fits my family and I. It was suggested that I take up other offers first as I wait for this or another better one. I disagreed because it is a senior position and I personally feel that it isn't ethical if I were to do that. If I were to take up a senior position half heartedly and have an eye on something else, then I'll be wasting everybody's time and expectations. Nonetheless, this is a semi rant and I'm here to listen to your familiar voice for some encouragement. Thanks Andrew.
Thanks! I didn’t do so well on an interview by not knowing how much detail to give and not sound like I was rambling. I am still trying to learn how to navigate questions at a leadership level.. this is helpful on my journey..
This is incredible advice, especially the attention grabbing tip to flag the anticipated challenges. I wonder, for some jobs, the candidate is asked to write the "Vision Statement" for the position. These documents are usually 2-3 pages long and the candidate is asked to describe their leadership philosophy and what their vision is for the position. Do you think some of the same advice would apply to highlight anticipated setbacks? It would be great to hear any advice you have on writing those documents.
Valuable refresher, Andy, though I've lost count how many times you've drilled this concept into my brain! Putting together the reproduceable playlist on how you generically approach any project. Also, thanks a ton for your guidance on how to approach my interview with my prospective CIO in today's #bootcamper zoom session. Incredibly helpful. Anyone on the fence about pulling the trigger on Andy's Job Search bootcamp program, invest in yourself and do NOT hesitate to consider a purchase. Peace OUT
Hi Andrew, do you think that it's a good idea to request a visit to the company? It is a foreign based company and the hiring manager is not on site but it would be a good means of finding out more information and also show my interest. However, there is likely an internal candidate so I'm not sure if it is appropriate. On the other hand, I'd like to maximize my chance.
Interesting enough, I love talking about problems I encountered and how they were solved. Maybe a part of getting a job offer each time laid off or pending lay-off within a month each time. The main part is just keeping good connections. And I have a passion for what I do.
So I'm trying get the sequencing down Andy. Would you suggest a tactical prompting question directed at the interviewer to entice the "how would you go about managing that transition' or should you wait for it? BTW, loved the example, I was part of a bumpy transition from perpetual license to subscription it was a Doogie. Defining moments for me.
Andrew, been a year since my historic interview that landed me an outrageous senior position following your 12 tips senior exec video. This one is another awesome tip. Thanks for the content.
😎 I probably recorded this in the summer time when I was knee deep into Ironman training. Those very long runs and rides outside will do that to you!! 😂
