My approach to job interviews is to come in with the mindset that the interview is my opportunity to see if I even like this place enough to work there, rather than thinking the interview is a “test” that must be passed.

It would be nice to be so skilled that the "test" part is insignificant. But yes, I have noped out of several interviews when I quickly understood I would be working 60 hour weeks, on call, Amazon entry level toxic productivity work culture. I've been there, done that. You won't pay me enough for me to voluntary take a quality of life reduction like that.

Something I was told by someone working in HR once, was that in many cases, job interviews are about personality first and qualifications second. If you're invited to an interview, they already know your CV, so the purpose of an interview is moreso to find out whether you're a good fit for the company. So if your natural attitude and instincts is to crack a joke every now and then, do it. If it's more to gush about the interests related to the job, do that. You don't need to prove yourself to them.

Yup... Lots of times, I've gotten the job over a "more qualified" person who had years of training, college programs where I didn't, and even real experience beyond me... It was because I said something like "In my experience there's no such thing as JUST a ..." (fill in anything you like)... I'd point out that were it not for the janitorial crew, I'D be the one cleaning toilets and mopping floors. OR The company drivers can't do any driving without the technicians keeping the vehicles road-worthy... SO nobody's JUST anything. I always kinda took pride about that... and I'm often the wrench pusher... ;o)

*Laughs in "technical interview".* Yes, the traditional interview is like that. Not all interviews are traditional. For every coding position I've had, I've had to prove my technical skills and ability to communicate technical information. Often that includes an automated quiz or live coding exercise. Those will have very frank and direct feedback. Whether you pass or fail those is not based on your fit. So there's the (incorrect) assumption that they're more "accurate" because they filter out people who merely bullshit their way through interviews. They are also often considered inappropriate or useless among the most senior engineers. The most senior engineers I know (20+ years of experience on high-performing teams) frequently say they are a sign that hiring in the software industry is fundamentally broken... along with 6+ month turnaround on new hires and common practices actually filtering out the *best* potential employees. I've seen this from both sides of the table many times.
@phesterful

Those are often combined with interviews to find "cultural fit". There is sooo much wrong with that phrase. Including that it often directly filters out people with different backgrounds unrelated to the job requirements. It's not very surprising to many people that the result is a lot of dudes who look nearly identical, especially in demographics compared to even the rest of the industry. A company is quite literally saying they are incapable of handling cultural diversity. They are including *everything* possible about "culture" (and sub-culture), whether HR means to or not. Frankly, with years of experience... I don't think that's unintentional.

I used to run my high school's public speaking club and the piece of advice that was spread around the most was "play to win, not to avoid losing". If your attitude is not to mess up, you'll be preoccupied with a thought that can lead you to doing the exact opposite. It takes time and practice to build confidence but it's an attitude that can help when you're afraid about an interview, presentation, etc.

This can expose underlying problems. Let's say your parents forced you to come to an interview and you don't see getting the job as a "win", but you also think you'll be a failure if you don't get it. It's a lose-lose situation. That can tell you it's time to rethink everything and maybe even tell your parents you don't want that one job and you want to think about what you want, not what they want.

Well one problem is: you want a job so you don’t land on the street. And if you have to do many many interviews or don’t even get invited to many interviews, then any interview you DO get has really high stakes. Because it feels like your livelihood depends on the success. That’s not nothing. It’s actually a good reason to be anxious. So what Dr. K describes shouldn’t take away your anxiety, it’s okay to be anxious. But its simply a better strategy to be less occupied with yourself and instead focus on the thing itself (the company, the problem to solve, your interview partner etc), so your chance for a positive outcome is just higher. It’s quite pragmatic

Going into a job interview, it's best to think of it like a blind date- it's between two equal parties. As much as "the job" is looking for the right fit for that position, you are also looking to see of the job is a good fit for you. Ask about work culture. Ask about benefits. Ask about retention. And whether people who leave the company come back. They want your expertise and are willing to pay for it. You want the job and are willing to work for it. It's a win win. No need to stress.

Places like that tend to have high "turnover"... SO some jobs are "just stepping stone jobs"... Meaning they pay the bills for the time being, but DO NOT STOP LOOKING... Keep improving yourself and your odds of landing a better job somewhere (anywhere?) else... AND keep on putting yourself out there. Take the personal days carefully, but take them... AND use them strategically. When they don't get you into a workshop or class for some skill you need or want to refine, then they should be to get another interview at a place you'd rather be working... At the very least, you can find out how you might qualify better for the next time around... OR that you don't want to work that place as much as you maybe originally thought... BUT don't let it tear you down... Whenever I was hired by someone who acted like they were doing me a favor, I found out in fairly short order that they were a self-destructive mess and they struggled to keep people. I was actually (usually) doing them a favor just sticking to the job at least half the time... AND it wasn't difficult to "put them in a lurch" when I left for greener pastures... More than once I've had a boss chase me out the back door on the day I walked in and told them I was done... and they were suddenly BEGGING me not to screw them like that. I never gave the current place I was working as a reference without the understanding that my current boss had no idea I was even out looking for a job at the time... You can call it a "request for discretion"... BUT I also never shirked the idea of looking to better positions or pay when a boss found out I was interviewing, either. "Yeah," I'd shrug. "It's a shitty place to work being run into the ground by a shitty little bastard too scared shitless to treat his employees like respectable people. Of course I'm working on getting the hell out of here! Anyone with half a firing brain-cell is working to get the hell out of here. If not, they need professional help!" ...AND I've accepted the chips as they fell... figuratively speaking. ;o)

One interview advice that I got is "Don't just mention what skills and experiences you have, but also how you can apply these skills to the job position". You have to convince the interviewer that you can learn and solve their problems. This is how I got a job as an Oracle Database Administrator while having no experience in the database side of things. They were very convinced that I was willing to learn and grow and decided to invest in me.

This is so true. Take yourself out of the equation. Don't mistake being nervous for anxiety. Being nervous makes you alert, helping you perform your best. Also recognize the difference between being prepared and being knowledgable. You HAVE to be prepared to give a speech or presentation, but being knowledgable is what will make it good. Having the actual knowledge to back it up will give YOU confidence, and you will not be bound 100% by your script or slides. Then you can focus on TELLING THE AUDIENCE SOME COOL STUFF. Also we don't have to pretend all presentations actually have value, especially in school. Sometimes they are just throwaway assignments. You can't be knowledgable about everything, but a prepared presentation is still good. Don't focus on the details. Give the MOST barebone information you can, and imagine you're giving it to a child. Just go up there and explain the simple thing and enjoy being nervous. There are people who CHASE fear like maniacs, so it's not entirely wrong to get enjoy some nervosity.

@@MiketheNerdRanger It's ALL about the thing you're doing, NOT you... Look, I've ridden something on two wheels almost as long as I've been able to walk... Even longer, if you count my parents bundling me into a back-pack for night rides on my father's bike to get me to SHUT UP AND GO TO FRIGGIN' SLEEP... as an infant. (Lolz... I'm probably screwed up because my mom rode pregnant with me)... That said, I've been over hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of miles in dozens of countries. I've ridden bikes that had no business in the terrain I was in, and only ever changed wheels to suit... and go. SO there probably isn't a lot about the actual physical riding (the "doing part") that I don't have a solid understanding about... BUT I'll still click on a "Riding Instructional Video"... I still like to get someone else's perspective on how motorcycles work, what the current thinking is, what new drill(s) might add to my skill-set... whatever. It doesn't matter that I've been "street legal" for 30 years, compared to the maybe half a decade of some teen or twenty-something floating head or hands on handlebars on the screen. It's about the sport, itself... The art of trail braking or Out-In-Out turning... or which lane position might be the "best default" for 90% of traffic in whatever country... I'll still click, AND I'll still watch the whole way through before I decide whether or not to hit the like button, and whether I might add something to some conversation in the Comments... SO in your mind, eliminate yourself. It's just NOT about you doing the thing. It's only the thing ITSELF that matters. It could be a computer generated speech algorithm and you could train a monkey to do all the hand-waving and semantics part... the gestures and facial whatevers... while the robot voice gave the speech, and the results are basically the same... If you bring some actual knowledge to this "speaking engagement" it might help that you don't write out a fancy-ass script. Don't bother... JUST read up a bit to brush up on the current stuff the best you can, and scratch out the general "bullet points" you hope to cover in the time allotted... AND then a decent greeting and dismissal (ending... or what have you) and you can move on to the practice in front of the mirror, while you contemplate most of the likely questions... If it's something you've been passionate about, think back on the questions you might not have handled so well in the past and maybe jot down a few notes and rehearse for those questions... meditate on them a bit... see if you can refine your responses for them... You'll already have a pretty good idea of the kinds of things most often asked in "casual conversation" on your favorite subjects... SO run with those, and maybe add any research you've personally hoped to get done... as the time in preparation allows... BUT mainly, it's about remembering, even those of us who might be "well seasoned veterans" of whatever subject or hobby... WE came to SEE AND HEAR YOU, for YOUR express perspective. It's only about this thing you're presenting/talking about. ;o)
@luuhax
@luuhax 2 года назад
@@MiketheNerdRanger Like gnarth said we're assuming you have something to say. The audience is assuming you have something to tell them. That means the presentation is about the audience recieving the thing that you can tell them. Yes, you're the one giving it. But if you're dressed up well, showered and cleaned, have you not already prepared "yourself" for the presentation? The problem most run in to is presenting to people they think don't care. "They don't care about what i have to say". You. Don't. Know. That. It's your job to assume there might be SOMEONE in there, that can take a GRAIN of what you say and learn from it. That way you single in on your purpose, to get the knowledge across to someone who might care. At the same time that helps with the anxiety of talking to people who don't care what you say. But make sure you know the difference between anxiety and being nervous. Don't whimp out, because you're going to be nervous, for the rest of your life. It's WHAT WE DO. But the anxiety of speaking to people that don't care about you or what you have to say, that's something you deal with BEFORE the presentation. You don't have to do both at the same time. You do that by thinking about the reason you're doing it --> To get the knowledge across to someone who might care. When you've made up your mind to do the presentation, don't get it twisted: Anxiety already got beat, you did it. Now you're nervous, and that's FINE. Go out there and be nervous.

As an employer, when I’m asking people about their previous jobs, yes applicable experience is a big deal but also just being able to tell me a lot about the specifics of the job. Like, if your only experience is working at a fast food place, but you can tell me all these detailed things about the process, the equipment, responsibilities, etc, that shows that you learned a lot while you were there and retained that info. It shows that you’re bright and passionate and like to learn. Sometimes when I’m interviewing people, it feels like they’re hesitant & insecure to talk about those “low tier” jobs. Don’t be ashamed about it, we’re asking because we want to know! Talk to us about the things you did and learned there, what you liked about the job; don’t just try to relate everything to the job you’re trying to get, yes do that, but also just tell us about what interested you

Former national debate champion. Great video. Dr K is on point. You almost certainly know something your audience doesn't, be excited that you get to tell them about it! My biggest tip for any speech/interview is also, understand your audience. Figure out what they're expecting you to talk about. That might mean going through their social media, talking with them beforehand, or figuring it out on the fly by watching how they're reacting to what you're saying. But, as Dr K says, if you get stuck in your own head, that's when you lose the audience. You have to understand them, and what they need. You have to empathise. I'll never forget, at my first job, we were developing a small educational game for young kids. The client comes in and my boss was trying to explain to him how the game works. And the client keeps saying to him that he only knows about FIFA because that's what his children play. I'm standing there thinking, this guy is making it so easy, he's literally told us exactly how to explain things to him. All you have to do is explain everything in terms of FIFA. Use FIFIA analogies. Talk about features in FIFA that our game has as well. etc. But my boss couldn't. He just kept going on with the points he had prepared beforehand. And the client is sitting there and has no idea what he's talking about. It was excruciating to watch. This happens all the time. People tell you exactly how they understand the world. They tell you the language that they understand. Use that information! Explain things to them in their own terms! Literally even just using the same words that someone else uses will make them like you immediately.

At least for me, I was mainly just looking at whether we would like working with them and secondly getting a feel for how they deal with problems. To be honest, most people who we were interested in enough to interview had great resumes and we were already 90% confident that we would like to have them. But we typically get a roster of 3ish interviewees per position, and we have to make tough choices. (Interviewees reject our offer sometimes too!) So definitely don't be disappointed if you don't get an offer. If you get a lot of interviews, but no offers, I would evaluate the way you do your interviews. I would bet there's something obvious that is disqualifying you from offers. We had one guy who came in and was really funny and talented, but he went on a story about how he got fired from a previous job for going to work drunk. Don't tell that story at a job interview! O.o Since we hired engineers, we would usually have a technical interview portion where we would have our interviewees solve a few problems. Occasionally, we would have people who would just freeze up and say "I don't know" to all the technical questions. Unfortunately, that usually let other interviewees get hired over them. But it's definitely okay if you don't know how to do things or even if you solve it wrong. We're more interested in seeing whether you were able to identify an approach to solve the problem and we definitely didn't mind helping you if you ask us questions. Literally none of our hires answered every technical problem perfectly. I didn't either, when I got hired.

Do you have any examples of the technical questions/problems you use? I've got a job interview coming up soon and I'm mostly scared about the technical portion because I have bad social anxiety so I feel like I can't actually "think" around people in situations like that? So if they want me to try problem solve on the spot I'm probably going to just blank and freeze up which sucks because I'm good at what I do, but I need the space to actually think it over and preferably provide it through written communication 🥺

My approach to job interviews designates the interviewer as a client. I guess it is my comfort zone after pitching in a startup marketing agency environment for several years. A year ago I joined a company as an employee and dealt with toxic office politics using this setup. Toxic colleagues? They’re the clients employees, treat them professionally and deny them the right to close distance which would give them the opportunity to express their toxicity. Required to work overtime? Okay, note the hours down, seal it on with a formal email and, when I need it, inform about my leave to make up for those hours. Since I freelance, I have no job security tab hanging over my head, or as far ad they are aware, so it worked really well and every encounter with the toxic leadership turned out in my favour. Dr. K says that one should let go of ego, but I guess I come from different worlds and negotiation IS ALL ABOUT you. And them. It may be a trick you may pull on yourself to make you more comfortable at an interview, but one too many of these tricks and you’re in a bad mindset to negotiate for your own good.

As a person who has hired around 75 people mostly entry level positions, just arrive on time well dressed, and behave in a way that shows you have a positive attitude and a good work ethic. We called you back because we are interested in you, the interview is really yours to screw up. If the interviewer asks why you want to work at the company answer by saying I can provide XYZ skills that I believe will make me a value member of your team. Have a couple of questions such as what are the characteristics of successful people in this position, and end by asking what the next steps are. I'm amazed at just how low the bar has to be for employees because people have bad attitudes, don't show up on time, and can't be trained because they can't admit their wrong. The advice here also applies to dating. Just discuss honestly what's on your mind and the outcome doesn't matter. It's really important to have faith that there are opportunities for you and you will succeed, it may take alot of attempts and time but it will eventually turn out well for you. There are very few make or break moments I life, you can always recover from mistakes.

The interviewer is a human too they know you need cash. They need to feel like they can work with you day to day and when asked to justify their decision they need to be able to point to something you said in the interview that made you seem like a good candidate. If the company wants someone with 3 years experience in excel but you know you have knowledge of excel and can learn what you need to do on the job then lie alot of the requirements are BS.

He's so right. The "me, me, me" culture in the US has become so detrimental to the psyche of young folks (and plenty of older folks but they have has a chance at life experience changing their mentality). Walk into a job interview with the goal of offering your skills to THEM for THEIR benefit. Walk into a speech with the intent to offer your information to THOSE people. This is a massive view shift that we are never taught and have to learn on our own in the US. Maybe other countries are more prone to the service angle, but here it's a me, myself, and I culture first, and what can THEY do for ME. It makes me sad because we've lost so much good community among neighbors, coworkers, and peers over the past 4-5 decades.

I like the format of showing bits of the video at the start to let the people know what they are in for. A lot of people think very self centered, but since we are mostly like that, occupied with our own lives and thoughts, it is highly likely that our worries for how others, especially strangers, perceive ourselves are highly exaggerated or far less imporant than we believe. In an application process, I think that the company will only focus about getting a candidate with appropriate skill and perhaps company culture fit. If you are a bit awkward during the interview process or have a weak performance, but are otherwise trying to act professionally, nothing bad will happen, you just won't get the job and that's it. But always try to go for it if it is a job you can imagine working for/job you wanna do.

A lot of this was very helpful, thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a job right now, and will likely put some of this into practice in the next few days. As a programmer, I'm fully aware that using a skill is even more essential to learning it than merely reading / hearing about it. I'm also neurodivergent (adhd + autism), and that often presents as clear adhd + some social anxiety (often straight-up social phobia). I have experience public speaking on college and high school debate teams (national circuits), and from work... including seriously bombing some speeches. Both from social anxiety and from not being able to communicate technical skills due to lacking them... to simply not communicating well. Among peers who've given speeches, I can laugh, because I know social anxiety and performance anxiety (stage fright) is extremely common among very gifted speakers and performers. My perception of my own anxiety is often (not always) that I'm focused on others and do not understand their perspective. I may have trouble recognizing their understanding or their nonverbal feedback (see above: neurodivergent). I often have little perception of my own anxiety until after others react to my symptoms that they find disturbing or very distracting. That happens most frequently when I have lingering doubts about my technical expertise (real or imagined), the stakes for a conversation are high (as in senior management, regardless of expertise), or I'm including opinions that people I respect might quickly disagree with. When that type of situation hits, I am not at all focused on myself. I am strongly dissociated, from my perspective. That fits well in-line with problems I have recognizing depression until I have clear physical symptoms. Any new ideas about that? I should add that I often find your videos helpful if I make myself sit through at least the first few minutes. I've often said "oh that's not at all my perspective and Dr. K doesn't relate to how I think", while many of your later descriptions about how social interactions work are still extremely useful (again, see above about being autistic and frequently socially blind). Thanks for making the world a better place and spreading compassion.
@phesterful
@phesterful 2 года назад
oh, for others who may interact with neurodivergents... I need time to process communication. That's often not anxiety itself, but reactions to my need for that time (impatience) can make my social anxiety skyrocket because it's *then* that I'm suddenly self-focused, and that new focus on myself is very distracting. So add some compassion even if you're impatient, gamer folks. More never hurts.

The candidate may be a great salesperson, but I'm not searching for those qualities.

Those things are all rooted in fear, but it may be the source of the fear is more relevant than that it IS fear. It seems to be from what you've told me and Dr. K's advice, it might be different for each person, dependent on our perspective of each situation. So, it would make sense then that you need different tools for different jobs, so to speak, and tackle different sources of fear differently. Nothing against Dr. K or the advice. PS. Sorry if this was long or confusing. Sometimes I find it difficult to organize my thoughts. Have a good day, eh!

I am extremely socially anxious (the puking before a date and then cancelling out of panic type of socially anxious). I have also coached public speakers to speak more easily in front of crowds. Speaking in front of a crowd is like a conversation you don't really want to evolve into a conversation. You wanna keep it a monologue as much as possible because that's the part you inherently control. Your ability to deliver lines is linked to how you can get to deliver them with fluidity in front of a mirror. As Dr. K says, you are there to share with people about a given subject. Be clear in your mind about what that subject is and steer any question towards that subject so that is what people talk about. When speaking publicly, there's an ironical dimension. You are not there to showcase yourself, that's what makes it less pressuring for me. You are there to showcase a subject. You offer a better comprehension of that subject, or your thoughts on that subject. Other than that, as long as you have a clear structure, it will always go well because you'll stay focused on the reason you are there to talk about. Personal conversations are what I struggle with. I can't seem to find why an interaction occurs because there is no inherent reason and my brain needs a reason. For those who are anxious about talking publicly and okay with personal conversations, rest easy. You'll interact with individual people more than you speak publicly. Y'all are intelligent enough to nail it the few times you'll get asked to talk about what you know in front of other people.
@podchicane571
@podchicane571 9 месяцев назад
Also, for young people, it's normal not to feel confident during school presentations. You're asked to talk about a subject you do not know well. Speaking about a subject you actually know and wanna talk about plays a lot into the performance. It's easier to talk for a long time about things we know and like than it is to talk about stuff we don't know and don't care about. Work on your passions, try to see ways to make them profitable if you can and then you'll feel comfortable talking in front of any crowd that invites you or that you invite.

I don't think they are 'looking for you' per se. He's saying that they're looking for someone to fill their role. This may or may not be you, but you're much more likely to shoot yourself in the foot and fuck up by seeing things from your own perspective and wondering constantly whether you've performed well enough to deserve the job. If you're focussing on just showing who you are, rather than the outcome of getting the job or not, it not only saves you a lot of stress but also is likely to make you perform better because you won't be so in your head about whether they like it or not.

As a hiring manager, my experience interviewing canidates is mostly to scope out their personality and see if it will fit with the culture of the company and other employees. Of course I want to see if I can get a sense of work ethic and what experience they have, but the largest factor by far is personality. Is this person easy to communicate with? Level-headed? Reasonable? Willing to listen? Follow rules and instructions? Would they be enjoyable to work with on a daily basis? I agree with his premise that they are looking for you, and you're interviewing because they already see a fit based off your resume and just need to uncover more about your character. 90% of the time when I didnt give someone a job offer is because I knew that either them or my employees (or both) would be unhappy working with each other. Or that the canidate wouldn't like how the company runs based off answers to questions like, "what do you look for in a manager"

This is an essential concept. However, don't skip the prep work. Prep, prep, prep, then use this concept.

Funnily enough, the interview is the easy part. It's the negotiating which comes after that takes some nerve.

Notes from video for self This is what I can do for you if they don't like it, that's fine. your choice to accept it or not this is what i can do orient your mindset to one of service -- you're offering your services: skills, personality, potential don't think about the way you're presenting yourself and how you're being judged they are there for themselves, to hear and learn the information that you happen to have they want to hear what you have to say this is an opportunity to share enrich the lives of those around you it's not about you in social situations: balance between trying to have a good time yourself and paying attention to others and what they have to say noticing things in other people, and then noticing it in yourself and reflecting when you see it appear

For giving a speech and thinking one may mess up, I think one idea is that this seems to be a form of binary thinking, either one messed up or one didn't, when it's really more of a spectrum of skill. That doesn't even talk about more fundamental questions, such as is it a good business strategy to only hire people who are successful who fear failure, rather that desire success and noting that growth means going into places that one isn't as skilled as and failure is much more typical. Then, the issue with failure I see is really avoiding costly failures.

Ima be honest I enjoy giving presentations because it is a free opportunity to info dump on people. And I love info dumping. In addition, I understand how rare it is to get such a chance so I am always full of energy and tries my best to make it fun and interesting for others. It might just be me but it really is heaven for me.

I think my problem is that I think too much of what the interviewer might want to hear, but that tends to lead me into faking being an ambitious workaholic who is willing to drink the Kool Aid, which is the complete opposite of who I am as a person. I think it's really helpful to think of job interviews as offering information about myself and my skills, and letting people take it or leave it. I've had a really bad time applying to jobs in the past, and I want to try approaching it in a new way now. Thanks Dr. K 👍

My problem is that I have quite a chaotic resume and I don‘t know how to explain it best... even though I have learned a lot and I‘m at peace with myself, I realize that my resume doesn’t look too good.

lmfao I went to a job application, talked and joked with the guy, instantly got the job. The interviewers are humans too, don't treat them oddly.

I work in customer service and a while back I was talking to people that have about the same job as me about their interviews. I noticed that for every single person most of the interview ended up being mostly just friendly conversation about whatever and most questions ended up being skipped. I later asked the person in charge of hiring about this and she told me that she didn't even listen to what we were saying when we answered the standard questions, she just wanted to see what we would do if she gave us an opening to start an actual conversation. A lot of people would apparently dismiss it quickly to get back on track with the standardised questions, and ended up not getting the job.

Offering 2 helpful tips that have always helped me (mostly interview tips cuz a speech is pre-written most of the time) 1. If you feel like you're saying "umm" too much slowly transition and shut up. They don't need to hear you thinking about your answer. 2. At the end of every interview mist people ask if you have any questions, there should always be one as the interviewee ask "was there any questions you'd like to ask me so i can clarify?" 🤷🏾‍♂️ if you did say something confusing or distressing to the employer it's your opportunity to do damage control or explain in depth.

@Wolfy 5Svn I like your second tip a lot. I’ve noticed what I thought was confusion but I wasn’t sure how to bring it up without making them more confused, or revealing that I mistook their “listening face” for confusion
@Fincayra15
@Fincayra15 2 года назад
@Wolfy 5Svn from your first tip, could you explain what you mean by ‘slowly transition’? Do you mean transition from saying “umm” to silently thinking about the answer?
