I asked an interviewer the question about why they won’t hire me yesterday (although I was nervous to ask) and I used her response to further highlight my suitability for the role. I received an email two hours later inviting me for the second interview. Thank you so much for this video.

@patrickdang 2 года назад

That's great to hear. Congratulations!

@dakshasharma3954 Год назад

Just a follow-up on this, how to tackle that on the spot if the interviewer says "you do not have enough sales experience or we are looking for someone with more B2B sales"? Btw love the tip. Thank you

@Loki_Dokie Год назад

I wish I had known this in the past hah. Awesome.

@forest7178 11 месяцев назад

Mate the exact same thing happened to me. I asked them “is there any reason why I wouldn’t be hired for this role?” The company told me they have 20 other interviews today and they might pick the one with the most sales experience instead of my. I then emailed and sent a LinkedIn message to my interviewer highlighting my 30-60-90 day plan if they hired me. They called me and asked for a second interview for the next day as the interviewer “might give you a second interview “. The next day they called me before my 2nd interview highlighting that it’s not actually an interview but more so a run through of what a day working is like so that I won’t be surprised “if they offer me the role” and a personality style quiz to see which department they would like to put me in. 🤣

I watched all your videos about Sales Interviews and they were so beneficial. I followed all your recommendations and got the job I had been looking for for the last 4 years. I am really thankful to Patrick and recommend your channel to everyone. Thanks, Patrick!! There is a lot to learn from you, and thanks for sharing your experience.

@aoncars Год назад

You got it party wrong. "Tell me about yourself" is ALWAYS about how you can show you're the best for the job, that incudes real examples of what you've done. It's good touch to differentiate by telling your values. That's the best question you can get and one that you can actually prepare in advance, as your elevator pitch.

@yananzhang768 Год назад

Hi Patrick, thank you so much. I learned the interview tips from this video especially the last question to ask the interviewer, I asked are there any reasons that I wont be hired. Both CEO and Sales Director were very surprised about my question and laughed, even though they answered that my zero sales experience might be an obstacle, they both would love to see me soon. I got my offer within 1 week for Business Development role, and started learning all your fantastic videos since 2023. Appreciate your efforts and wich you a very successful year!

@ilaydacakar 13 дней назад

Great content Patrick, thank you. One of the most highlighted tips of the Google interview process from my mentor was never ask 'how did the interview go? Do you see me as a good fit?' type of questions. Since your 'is there any reasons for you not to hire me?' question sounds lot like it, could you elaborate further on this point? What do you think sets the difference between sounding too pushy/salesy versus closing the 'interview' deal right?

@luketannenbaum3172 Год назад

Has anyone tried asking the closing questions for getting the position at the end of the final interview? Did it work for them? I see how this could come across in a great way for a sales role but at the same time leadership teams understandably meet and discuss before extending an offer especially when you've met with different people throughout the interview process. I'm worried this might make you come across as rude/ignorant of the hiring processes, and would love to know if other people have actually tried it.
