With regard to getting out the negativity, today I decided to write a letter I would never send to my previous boss saying all of the things I was thinking and feeling. It was cathartic. I think I can let that go now.
J'ai 62 ans et je voulait retourner travailler ,mais il était important pour moi de trouver une job de mon choix, Tous vos conseils dans vos vidéos , je les ai compris ,suivis et appliqués et je tiens a vous en remercier .Parce que aujourd'hui , j'ai passé une première entrevu pour un poste de mon choix (en hôtellerie) au centre ville de MONTRÉAL, Québec , et en moins de 2 heures ,j'ai déjà reçu la confirmation que j'avait obtenu le poste de technicien maintenance .Je les ai ÉBLOUIT par ma présentation . Donc , Je commence lundi. YES! MERCI. I hope for you that you can read french?
I'm hoping to get a job as a gym receptionist while I'm studying to become a personal trainer. You've made some really helpful videos. I really appreciate it.
Just want to say 9:34 is beautiful advice. The ego can take a hit in some situations, but it really doesn't matter. Thanks Don, you say these things well.
9:40 right on Don! I love these videos so much. Cannot tell you how impacting they are. The reference I go to is the golden rule: do unto others as you'd want them do to unto you. Straight from the teachings of the best wine maker in Israel. 😂 God bless yall
It depends on the interviewer and what kind of mindset they have. Just interview A LOT and don't wait on just one employer calling you back. One of your videos stated that I should be very enthusiastic and they interviewer saw that as an issue!
More often than not, coming across as enthusiastic is going to be perceived as a positive by an employer, but obviously there are going to be exceptions to any rule.
Hi Don. Appreciate your great advice. I was dismissed from my PhD program because the program director was literally a psychopath. I temporarily experienced symptoms of bipolar disorder and she saw me as vulnerable and pounched. They were abusive to me and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act 3 times; it was illegal that they dismissed me. Now I am trying to apply to other programs and have to explain what happened and no one believes me or understands. No one will accept me. They were 100% in the wrong. How can I handle this? A case of black and white discrimination that was not my fault?
If you have proof they fired you for discrimination and not for any other reason, you can have a case against them. I highly recommend you hire an attorney or lawyer to process this.
One concept if you talk negative to about your previous boss my boss was strict to make me work under pressure but I felt motivated to have tasks completed in time you changing from a negative to a positive
I don’t think you should feel bad about being overdressed for a job interview. To the interviewer it’s just another work day, to YOU it’s an important meeting and YOU are the one who is there to impress. I always dress a notch up than what I assume everyday dress will be.
Better Business Bureau is the #1 place to put in a bitch section/ complain about the past employers if there really is an issue going on. Health Department & OSHA are two other great places to lay it all out. NOT with the next interviewer.

Who was that?
I’ve seen people interview where I work showing up late and dressed in a t-shirt and shorts.
Great tips. thanks

I got the job
Dang didn’t even cross my mind to wear clothes at all. Definitely will give it some thought now.
11:13 I've taken to asking when I start.
As far as the negativity thing Don what do you think about saying just the reason I quit my job is for a better full-time position?
