I just received a call from recruiter that I've been selected for the role, and will proceed with the background check!! I'm an Asian who relocated to Latin America due to family reasons, which means I'm rebuilding my career in a new country, a new culture, and a new language. While I was confident in my competencies, reality has hit me hard. I've spent 7 months job hunting and have been unemployed. I've faced bias, distrust, and numerous rejections, all because I lack "local experience." A month ago, I started watching your channel and began following your suggestions (introducing myself, interview prep, thank-you emails, and commonly asked questions.) I'm not sure which of these strategies made the difference, but I'm grateful that I took it. Folks, if you going through the challenging journey of job hunting, please persevere. It is depressing, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And THANK YOU MADELINE!!
I binge watched your videos recently. Just a few days before my interview. I'm HORRIBLE at interviewing. I kept seeing a lot of people in the comments commenting that they "got the job" after watching your videos. I was excited for them but thought it would be impossible for me because that's just how bad I am at interviewing. Well!! I was completely wrong!! I received a call literally 4 hours after the initial interview to schedule a second interview. Just 2 days after the second interview and I can officially say that "I got the job!!" I rarely if ever comment on youtube videos but I had to comment on yours. You're the bomb!! Thank you so much for the awesome content.
I got rejected after an interview I thought went well. But then I came across your account and realized how many things I did wrong! Thanks to your content, I prepared so much better for a new opportunity and got a call back just 1 hour after my interview inviting me for a second interview! 🎉 THANK YOU
I’m meeting with the VP of the department I applied with tomorrow! I passed the phone interview and the second interview so far! I Please wish me luck! Madeline you were among some of the UA-camrs I used for advice!
Good luck!
Good luck!
Did you get the job?
How are you doing? Did it work out?
Hi Madeline! I watched almost all of your videos to prepare for a final 1 hour, 4 person, panel interview and got the call on Friday that I got it and will be receiving the offer letter today! This is my very first 6 figure offer after being in my industry for over ten years. Thank you so much for all of your advice and tips!
I don't usually leave YT comments, but I watched almost all of your videos leading up to a very important interview and I just received my offer letter! It's a very prestigious position and I am grateful for being able to prepare so well because of your advice. For anyone out there who's nervous and feels like they don't qualify, prepare with these vids and shoot your shot! You can do it!
I watched a couple of your videos 2 months ago and I am coming back to testify and give feedback.
I was doing great research and preparations for my 2 day interviews and I must say I was very intentional and optimistic that applying good information can make the difference.
Long story short I got the job I wanted.
Thank you so much for the work you do. Keep on doing this great work.
With lots of love from Africa, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
I can't thank you enough Madeline! I have diligently watched your videos during my 4-part interviewing process and I landed the job! I've dreamed of typing out my success story to you and I'm super grateful for your teachings!
THANK YOU! I watched these over and over again. Not only got the job BUT they called me within 2 hours to offer me the position! I couldn’t have done it without you! ❤
Never thought I'd be here saying this BUT these videos got me to a position where I'm being asked to PICK which job I want....by the same company. I am so humbled. All it takes is the right guidance (like yours!) and practice. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi Madeline! I have been in my current role for more than 7 years so I was super anxious about getting out of my comfort zone to do an interview! I studied your channel for a week and a half in preparation and I found out this week I got the job! I'm so thankful for your tips on how to structure answers. It helped so much and I felt so prepared going in. Thank you !!
Hi Madeline! Came back to your channel to say many thanks for all your interview and career tips. I binge-watched almost all your videos for 2 weeks and finally received an offer last week after soooo many failed interviews. Thank you for all the help, they all worked for me and helped me land my dream job! 🙏 keep inspiring!
WAY TO GO!!!!!
My Fairy Job mother thank youu!!!! Your videos are amazing i got hired 2 weeks ago on the spot ive been a fan since day one and your videos helped me nailed this interview and got hired quickly in a wink of an eye..thanks a lot U're THEE fairy job mother!
Hey Mad, just wanted to say that I got the job I wanted!! I moved from South America to Europe, but it was hard getting a job within my career since most offers wanted me to speak the native language of the country I moved to, so I ended up getting a 'normie' job at a restaurant. After 5 months, I got a call to start interviewing in January and surprise, I'm in! Your videos are the easiest to learn from for me bc of how dynamic and casual you are explaining. My new job is at a big European company with big names next to it, the people seem very nice already and I'm so excited to start next month. Thank you for all!
I’ve been binge watching your videos to prepare for an interview I don’t even have yet 😂 Your content has been so helpful but I’m having a tough time with this question as a SAHM. Can you do a video with tips for SAHP especially those with a huge career gap?
Hi Madeline!!! I can't thank you enough because all of the videos I watched from you while prepping for my FIRST interview helped me land an offer to my favorite internship opportunity!! Even though English isn't my native language, I felt confident introducing myself using your guideline and surprised my interviewers. He said, "Wow, you answered all of my questions before I even said it." Big hug
I just want to express my sincere thanks to you, I was watching your videos before writing my resume until interviews and finally got hired. Plus, I was offered doubled to my current salary too. I’m anxious because there were many applicants but with the help of your videos I got my dream job. Thanks again! ❤
Came back to your channel to say thank you for all your interview videos. After 1+ year of rejections I finally landed a dream job in game development today ❤
Used this and nailed my first interview in a new country! Thank you. 🎉
I have an Interview tmrw for a Job I want SO BADLY! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and especially this one because I always seem to mess answering this up. My fingers are crossed I get the job 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I got the job thanks to your knowledgable advice! Such great advice on so many of your videos!!
Hi Madeline, just wanted to say that I love you content. I just landed my dream entry level job and your videos played a big role in this.
Have a good day!
Hey Madeline! I just wanna say your tips have helped me so much. I finally got offered a job after starting to watch your videos. Your tips on bring something to take notes on made the person interviewing me impressed. Also your questions to asked towards the end of the interview made him let me know that all my questions were great
I watched just about all of your videos leading up to every facet of my interview process (3 interviews plus a panel!) took inventory of my relevant skills and experience as it pertained to the job description, thought critically about how I would respond to hypothetical behavioral questions and your advice helped me land a job offer 3x what I make now with full benefits. I can’t thank you enough for your positive energy, your intensely practical advice, your encouragement, your perspectives. Girl, never forgot how absolutely amazing you are! You help people help themselves and that is absolutely incredible 💯 ❤
❤
Thank you for all of your tips ❤️ prepared myself with your videos for 3 days and was able to land in my dream job. Keep up the hard work 👏🏼👏🏼 It’s much appreciated!
You're the best! Your videos have been very helpful, and I did well on my interview yesterday. I appreciate the information you share with us.
Thank you so much for what you do! I watched so many of your videos and I was just hired for an amazing job!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I like many others wanted to come back and say thank up for the interview prep…. I got the job 🎉🎉🎉🎉 so thankful for your content!
I love your videos, they have helped me with my confidence so much! I just had an interview where the interviewer didn’t have any questions prepared and there were a lot of silent pauses. Any advice for that situation?
Ask them questions (: after you’re done answering a question, you can also turn the question back on them
Thank you Madeline! I've been preparing for my internship interview for a week using your videos and I immediately got selected after my interview! I'm going to continue watching your videos to learn and improve my interviewing skills! Wifi Hi5! 🎉
You're so welcome!
Hello Madeline, I watched your videos religiously for the past two weeks to prepare for my job interview that happened today. I’m glad for your tips and advices of how to handle the questions properly.
However, today the panel had a different approach, there was no “Tell me about yourself”, “where do you see yourself in 5 years”, “what is your biggest strengths/weakness” etc. Nop! None of the usual questions were asked. The panel concentrated the interview in 5 questions that were direct to the point and more focused on the position itself and how I would handle a very specific work situation in real life. Not sure if this is a thing now among the recruiters or if it varies according to the position.
Yes, I’m a dispatcher and those were the questions they were asking me. I was honest but I didn’t get the job, 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Today I had an interview with the managers and leaders of the company I'm applying to, and I wanted to thank you for all the content you generate. At the end of the interview, when I asked if they had any questions about my professional profile or if they wanted me to delve into anything further, they said no. In fact, they congratulated me on my ability to respond clearly to all their questions during the interview. I obviously prepared for the interviews, but it was your examples, tips, and answer structures that made everything possible. I don't know if I'll get the position, but I'll keep you informed! By the way, English is not my first language; I'm from Latin America. So, I wanted to tell you that you're also helping people all over the world :) thank you again @SelfMadeMillennial
Just landed my dream job because of your videos! Thank you so much!!!
I have a interview tomorrow and im so nervous!!
How did it go?😊
My phone interview is in two hours. I'm so nervous.
I’ll be honest. Generally speaking your videos helped me. However, for the majority of my interview I had a panel asking questions. They all were pretty challenging questions that you normally don’t get during an interview. They were asking specific questions to figure out if I have the qualities for the position they were trying to fill. Which the position was open because the last person failed to encourage the team members. He failed to follow basic protocols like not sexually harassing the women on the team. He also failed to fit into the culture of the team. I was able to answer the questions they asked. But what I ended up doing is laughing nervously and spending almost 2 minutes thinking of an answer. Now. I did get the job. Part of me getting the job had to be the fact that one of the people on the panel is a friend and offered me the job. The other thing being that I followed up with my own difficult questions toward the end. I literally have no exact experience for the job I earned. I have skills and qualities that I developed in other fields. And maybe that also contributed. But after that interview I felt like I got court marshaled 😭.
Hey Madeline! Can you do a video for interview question& answers in the fashion industry? Would really appreciate to crack a job that I’m looking forward for.
Would really appreciate it.
Thank youuu.
How do you approach this question when it comes to a team working assessment activity that has other candidates, since an introduction that is too focussed on career relevant stuff seems a bit too stiff and unnatural
Wanted to express my gratitude for your videos! I GOT THE JOB!! Thanks to your story toolbox method and the PAR method! I was prepared and I killed that interview!! I was offered waaay more than my last job and I’m so grateful! You guys need to follow her videos and you will get the job!!!
Also used the thank you email and follow up email! Worked like a charm!!
I had an interview with the recruiter he said he has to get this sent over to the hiring manager and the process should take 24 hours it’s been 2 days I’m starting to feel discouraged 😔
I’ve been there and never heard back, but the right job is out there for you, I know it sucks but keep your head up.
Hello. I have an interview coming up and I watched a few videos of yours to help me prepare for it. I recorded a video of myself answering the question “Tell me about yourself” and it sounds too robotic. How to make it more natural and in a flow? I just looked at my laptop camera throughout the answer and it feels like I am reading a News report. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks :)
What if the recent position is in a different industry and the position you're interviewing for is in an industry you want to go back into?
Silly question but would Tell Me About Yourself be somewhat like your Elevator Pitch?
Yes it is!
Hey, just received response to set up a One Way video interview for a job I applied for recently. I was not aware companies were going this route. Do you believe this will go mainstream?
Dear Madeline, it's a great video but as my first language is not English does it mean I have to write down the relevant answer for me and learn it until I know it by heart, so I can answer it on the interview? And if I have about 6,7 questions asked on the interview it means I have study an A4 paper size to be able to answer on an interview? Would that not sound rehearsed? So far I have been on 3 interviews and I didn't get any job offer. 😔Would you please give me an idea what should I do? Szilvia
Seal 🦭 of approval 😂😂😂😅😅😊❤
I just had a panel interview today. I think overall I did well. However, I messed up an answer to a question because it was technical I wasn’t sure how to answer it. Does that hurt my chances of getting the job. I used the star method and did well there. I’m worried that one mistake cost me the job.
Did you get the job ?
2:30 hahahahaah thank you!!!!
I have an interview today.
Hey, any plans to create new courses on linkedin learning?
what if we recently graduated and don't have a "current" role? how could we start it off?
U can tell abt ur key area of interest, why u r fascinated abt it, projects and internships
Good video
The one caveat I will say to the whole story thing is if you're in an IT space the managers in that field seem to value you having the skill set more than being able to tell them a story. If you don't have the qualifications they're looking for they won't even consider you.
I always at WAAAAAY too little
Ahhhh both!! I ramble too much and also say too little. “So, yeah!” I CRINGEEEE
Too little
I always put to much, when I talk and go totally off topic.
Too Little
I tend to ramble.
1st
tooo little.
Work for yourself and you won’t need to answer inane questions by stupid people. It’s a silly game.
too much
Saying Too much 😔
way too much!
Bad
I studied all your videos and got my dream job!!😍👏🏻 THANK YOU SO MUCH! I cant believe this 🫣
Too little
