That was awesome sir your the best! 👍😊
Hi Dan,that was indeed a great Video. As a woman in mid of my family life who is passionate about restarting a career needs lots of courage and valuable guidance to face the corporate world again. Am glad I feel more confident after watching the video. Thak you !! Am sure I'll get through my interview positively.
Thanks Dan. Tuesday March 2 I have a zoom interview .
Confidence
If you have come here cos you are going to attend an interview (today or tomorrow in the present or future), I am wishing you all the best!!! You got this !!!
If you have come here , it means tomorrow is your interview.
I am a school boy
Right😂
wish me luck!! lol
No today😂
How’d you guess? 😂
I used Dan’s exact script. I wrote everything down and practiced for a few days before my interview and when it came I nailed it! I could see it in the interviewer’s eyes. Once I ended by asking ‘is this along the lines of what you’re looking for?’, it was game over. Got offered the job less than 24 hours later and higher salary than what I expected. Thank you Dan! You taught a man to fish.
bro my interview is at baskin robins and i’m preparing like im applying for tesla or sum💀
Got a interview today in 15 minutes wish me luck 🤓

Thanks mate
Earlier this week, I was called for an interview. Due to scheduling issues, I had my interview the very next day via Zoom (barely 15 hours prior notice). I used this video as well as his other interview videos to prepare. This was the first time I felt confident in responding to "tell me about yourself." The interviewer even told me "very nice" after I said my spiel as outlined in the video (I didn't end with the question because I'm not THAT confident 😂). At the conclusion of the interview, they told me I wouldn't know a decision until 2 weeks later, but they ended up offering me the position two DAYS later. Thank God I found this video!! I'm extremely grateful 😊
I'm really pleased for you, but
I wonder what you do?
I know right..that asking question at the end..lol..u need almighty confidence.
Your points on asking the interviewer questions is very helpful. Great video, Dan!
Hey indeed i got a job due to your platform ❤️
This guy already makes me nervous, and i dont even have an interview
🤣😂🤣😂
Hahahaha. So true
Bruh 😂😂😂😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Interviewer: So tell me about yourself?
You answered nervously: I was born at a very young age.
Lol
😝😝😝
lol
😂😂😂
Hahahahahahaha eh haha
Thank you Dan Lok. Since I used this script of yours, I received positive responses from the interviews I had. Now I enjoy collecting and choosing which employer I'll invest my time and skills. This video and your script so powerful. Uplifted me to proceed in my search when I was on the verge of quitting.
This was the first question that I was asked on my first interview, I jotted down what you said and added a few sentences, I got my second interview, I browsed again on your videos to prep and 2 days later I was offered the position! Thank you so much!!!!
Omg. I am neavous now, my interview in 2 hours time form now. Please wish I got this job.
@@rozainibintisani8779 Did you got itt?
Me: nervous about my first interview
Him: its like a date
Me: freaking out because I've never been on a date
I could never relate more 😂
MEEEE
Meeee😂😂
How did it go?
Same
“You absolutely DO NOT have a second time to make a first impression” this got me
Absolutely!
Right
I’ve been honestly answering this question with my personal information such as first and last name, age, studies🤣🤣. After watching this video I can begin to imagine the laughs of the managers after interviewing me at my expenses 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is golden advice. Came upon this 1 hour before the interview and learned, rehearsed it briefly, right at the end of the interview the hiring manager immediately gave me the offering. Wow just wow.
*I'm amazed Why don't schools don't teach the basic knowledge to live a normal life instead of teaching all blunders we don't need?*
👏👏👏
It uses to be like that.. older times.. in France and Germany..
Those "blunders" you don't think you need are used by tens of millions of professionals around the world to provide you all the things you love to use :)
They do... Mock Interviews

Tell Me About Yourself
1. Not Your Life Story but What Value Could Your Bring
2. Be your Best Self - What's in it for them.
3. The 3 S's -
✅Success - "I have been...."
or "My Background is..."
✅Strength -"My strength is..." or "my real strength is..."
✅Situation - "What I am looking for is..." Is this what Your company is looking for?
Action: I need to memorize it and say it many many times and repeat it many many times so it comes across very very natural.
They ask more than they can pay...
This note is from a systematic person!
convenient!
So he's admitting professional interviewers don't ask the right questions. Let's just forgive their shortcomings because we want their money though.
I don't get that. I understand they wanna hire a good worker. But what values can I bring? What can I do for the company? I never once thought "Let me go apply here. I'll show them how to be humble, sincere. I'll make this a better company. If I'm applying fur dishwasher why you ask me what I can bring to the company
I guess clean dishes. My point is there is a right question for the right job
I listened to your advice and I got the job! Another step towards my future goal complete. Thank you so much Dan Lok
A few years ago it hit me that job interviewing is like a first date and working is like being in a relationship in a sense. Thinking of it that way I began to realize the error of my ways. This is an excellent video. Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how many good job opportunities I messed up when I was younger just on the “tell me about yourself” question.
Tell me about yourself:
-introduction (name, age, employment status, )
- qualities that are aligned to the job description
- relevant hobbies
-relevant experience (working experience, accomplishments)
I did this and I nailed my first interview. Hope this help:)
I came here searching for copper but I have found gold instead. :)

Did you get it?
@@lenvillaroel9625 yeah i did let me make an update
congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS
How's it going
Thank you for covering this question. This is one of the many other important interview questions you covered in your other videos that I watched and prepared for before my job interview last month. I nailed the interview and I am now waiting for my employment contract to be signed. Gob bless!
This is an amazing video, I got hold of it a day before my interview. I really used the tips from here to make a 180 degree change to my approach of handling an interview. The results .....BOOM!!! Thank you very much Mr. Dan Lok.
1. The 3 S's
•Success e.g. "I have been___" or "my background is___" what are you good at?
•Strength "my real strength is___"
•Situation how do my strengths apply to the new opportunity "what I'm looking for is___" and at the end ask a question "is that what you're looking for?"
2. Memorise some kind of script, practice, rehearse it so it comes across very natural.
Thanks for writing it down, it helped me a lot. ☺️
God bless you @Chey Love
Thank you so much 👏👏👏💞💞
Thanks a lot!
I like this !!
interviewer: so tell me about yourself
me: i’d rather not. i really need this job
Lmao. I've used that one before during an interview. My boss laughed so hard, I've been a favorite at the company ever since.
Spock Rising cool beans man. i’m surprised your boss hired you at all.
Lol. Truth is they knew me from the field, I'd worked with alot of his guys before. A good sense of humour goes along way in my line of work
A good sense of humor might go a long way in more jobs than we think.
@@spockrising3208 what is your line of work, if may I ask?
I LOVE this. I am graduating from the medical office assistant program this week and I'm looking up the best ways to answer the interview questions I'm going to come across. I just have to say that this is the best video I have watched so far! Thank you so much!
My biggest takeaway was "So when you are in front of that potential hiring manager, you are ready to go" THIS IS KEY. I am not actively looking for a job but I will be in a few months. This is what got me the role I currently have and I will continue to pursue higher-level roles in the near future. Elon Musk Tweeted "Stop being patient and start asking yourself, how do I accomplish my 10 years plan in 6 months? You will probably fail but you will be lot further ahead of the person who simply accepted it was going to take 10 years" this is so powerful and you Dan Lok have the ability to help people get to that point. Thank You!!
This guy looks and sounds so strict that all I'm thinking is: YES, SIR! Imma memorize the whole script, SIR! 😂
Ikr .😩
Lol
And I'm sure you wouldn't get the job.
You so funny 🤣
Same tot 🤣
One of the best videos that I have ever seen. It saves your face in the interview and teaches you how to be well prepared and equipped before meeting the hiring manager. It is really embarrassing when you have been asked a question about yourself and you are kind of freeze and stutter and don't know what to say. I learnt from this video that any responses have to show how your background or skills will contribute to adding value and benefits to the company that you're applying to.
I have an interview in 2 days - Thanks Dan for helping me understand the process and now the prep properly begins... I'll keep you updated......
Three S:
5:49 Success
7:04: Strength
7:37: Situation
Thank you a million, I actually have an interview this morning, my very first job interview.
You just got a new subscriber 😁
Edit: I got the job, again thank you : )
Congrats🔥🔥
Congratulations 🎉
congrats! 🎉
Any advice for us brotha
Gah me too (lol this is my sister's account). got one today. congrats btw.
"What value you bring?".
Thank a lot, Dan Lok!
True Dan. Many of us provide our answers about more about our life, hobbies or my family 😅. Your video provides good structured replied with a simple three ‘S’ - Success, strengths and situation.
I used this script exactly the way Sifu worded it. Many of my interviewers commented on this and they appreciated the clarity and conciseness I offered them with this one answer. And it was because of following his advice, I am able to sign my job offer letter as we speak. Thank you so much, Sifu. You are more impactful than you think.
Thank you for this step,and advice,I hope I can pass my interview today, godbless 💓💓🙏
Tomorrow is my 2nd interview already, so I want to pass tomorrow and get a job
I had an interview a little over a month ago and watched this video the day beforehand. Preparation is so important, especially if you’re the type of person that gets nervous during an interview (like me). Taking the time to thoughtfully prepare my answers to common interview questions made a huge difference in how I conducted myself. I’m happy to say that I landed the job and I’ve been there for a month now. Thanks for the advice Dan Lok :).
@Anthony styles He does't have time, he's working d
Congratulations!
@@toduaimedi8915 😂😂😂
Congratulations to you🙌🏾🥂
We have the same problem, when it comes to interview i always get nervous.
I Love the way he keeps it real , on how to talk to the employers.
Thank you man!!!! I finally got my job offer after half year unemployed!!!!!! I just follow the “3S” structure you gave and the interview went perfect! Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Interviewer: "Tell me about yourself"
Me: "Haven't you read my resume?"
😂😂😂....very nice! Next....
🤣🤣🤣Best way to answer🤣🤣🤣
This looks like my kind of answer 😂😂😂😂😂
This could be everyone's answer until your interviewers says don't try to be oversmart 😂
very ideal.
I can imagine him as the most bad ass Asian mafia boss in a movie.
Same here

Memorization is the Key. When I was applying in call center in the Philippines, I failed 3 times. I keep on researching because my communication was very poor.I remember, the day before my interview, I rehearse everything. We were 13 living in 1 apartment with my friends who failed many times aswell. 1 of my friend said, Why are you rehearsing?? why do you need to memorize?? it should be comming from your heart..! I just ignored him.. Guess what?? Out of 188 applicant that day, only 18 made it and I was one of them.. 11 of my friend failed including the person who questioned me for rehearsing.
Dan Lok is right. You have to practice it many times and when you alreadt memorize it, feel and talk like you are talking from the heart.Just talk slowly, dont make it fast.The interviewer might not understand your accent.
Your a boss! Thank you, you prepared me for a major interview with a huge corporation in my region. I was so equipped and CONFIDENT from following your guidance.
I'm so disappointed that we never did mock interviews or any sort of class about it in highschool.
in my high school we did a lot of those but i still dont know what to do;_;
It's your instinct to do
Have a nice day
i use asmr as a tool to study English
I'm doing it, thank you for taking a look
in highschool you have no experience anyway. They know that you've only been to school.
I’m doing one tomorrow-
1 What value you could bring
2 Be Your best self
3 The 3 S
Success I have been ...
Strength My strength is ...
Situation What I am looking for ...
*whoever asks a question control the situation
Lastly practice your script so it will come naturally.
You’re the best. Thank you! 😬
I've looked at lots of videos tackling the dreaded " tell me about yourself" - this is hands down the best treatment of that question
This is by far the BEST response to "Tell me about yourself".
An hour to my job interview😣😣😣 wish me luck.
(Edit)
I got the job😍😍😍 thanks
Congrats! I have my interview tomorrow...

"You do not want to panic nor stutter."
Bro. I'm a stutterer myself, I can't help it :(
I'm really sorry and I feel you, Jose. I used to stutter a lot when I was a kid, and there's one way I managed to almost stop my stuttering 100%. By reading aloud., a lot. It may not seem like a big deal but it worked for me and was a life changer. I hope you can do that as well!
be precise with your words.. try to say in less words with great impact
and practice more "Be the best of you" not others who don't stutter
good luck brother
Me too
Am also a stutter and is impossible for me to talk without stuttering 🤒🤒🤒
Just let them know before hand? If they rejected you bcs of that, it’s not the company you’re looking for anyways
Hi Dan, I just came across your video and after reviewing the others I had on my cue, yours was my favorite. I have an upcoming set of interviews next week and I feel better prepared now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
THANK YOU Mr Dan! 🙏🏽 So grateful to watch this video before my first ever job Interview🍀
Guys if your are scared about the questions asked by HRMs, such as "About Yourself", "Weakness", "strength.." "Hobbies" etc.
Just remember that these HRs are just asking you a recursive question, as they don't have the knowledge to ask you anything else. They just need your help to start a conversation with you.
So when ever you go to an interview with any HR, treat it like a regular conversation.
And with the answers of these recursive question, you have the power set direction of the whole conversation.
That's what he explained. It's like a date.
Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: As your boss
This is actually a bad answer
Lol
Bht hard
You are fired even before hired 😂
You are rejected
Michael Manaloto 😂😂😂😂😂
Your video was highly useful for me. Now, I can answer "Tell us about yourself" easily and without any fear.
Thank you Mr. Lok
Dan, thank you for sharing the 3 S's strategy. I have been answering the, "Tell me about yourself," question incorrectly this entire time. Now I've got a solid response that I am confident will leave zero doubt for hiring managers.
Oui
"The one who asks a question controls the situation." This is very true.
Which is also why it's important for an interviewee to remember to ask questions as well. Interviewing is actually a two-way conversation.
Ok you're hired
Me: wait! Don't you ask question "tell me about yourself", I've prepared day and night for this...
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭
I've been struggling for days what to say in that question because there are tons of tips and suggestions here on UA-cam, and I didn't know which one to pick, but after I watched this, I finally consolidate my ideas and answers because of your tips. Thanks
I have an interview tomorrow and was really nervous. Your tips helped me refine my answers and gain confidence. Thank you!
I think I once actually answered "That's a good question, I don't really know" or something to that effect. No, I didn't get the position.
Oof!😬
🤣 my man
Oof!
Oh man 😅
🤣🤣
I have severe social anxiety and in 3 hours I’ll be going through my very first job interview ever. I am shitting my pants mortified and cried last night, also only got a few hours of sleep, I have never felt this scared before but I’m going to try my best. This probably isn’t smart but for my first interview at least I’m going to have some notes so I can remember what I want to say during specific questions. I will keep you updated on whether I got the job or not. Wish me luck, I’m going to need it. This is truly terrifying.
Update: I was told I did good on the interview but I did not get the job.
It's going to be better.
You’ll get better..i know it!! :))
What questions did they ask you? For Qatar airways
I like how he put each word for word. I'm looking for a better job for my future and my beautiful family. I get tired of the low paying jobs and disrespect. I want to improve and do more. Go towards a more positive way this new year. Build and create something amazing.
#DanLok I am so extremely grateful 🙏🏾and so very thankful for your video and your channel. I have not worked since 2017 and the game of interviews and job search has totally changed. Now that your channel has founde today all anxiety, nervousness, and apprehension is gone from my mind, energy and atmosphere.

I watched this video 2 hours before my interview and I got hired on the spot thanks so much for this information it really gave me perspective
. My interview is tomorrow and I haven't been on an interview in 20 years! Tell me about yourself! Big one! Best advise ever. THANK YOU so much!
*“Tell Me about Yourself”* _question gives you a great opportunity to spotlight the experience and skills that make you the ideal candidate for the job._
This was literally the first question I was asked during my job interview today, thank you so much for this amazing advice, I practiced yesterday and it took some of my nervousness knowing I was a bit prepared - and they noticed I was!! Good luck to everyone here preparing for their interviews, if I as a newbie could do it - so can you!! Practice really helped being more confident, too!! Xx
Amazing deae
Hope
👍
Hey Jessica, could you share your experience with me ? Cuz i’m not a native speaker but i have to have an interview the next week in English. So I’m looking for people with who i can practice my English.
Thanks mine is today 😂😭
I really love listening and watching your videos. As a up coming entrepreneur you’ve helped me out a lot with your videos. So thank you for making them.
Like most here I saw this and some other of your videos the night before my interview. The interview went great and I was offered a position 😭❤️ so, thanks my man. These tips are amazing to build confidence.
"Tell me about yourself."
"I enjoy my privacy."
HAHAHAHA
"I am enjoying my right to privacy." LOL
Everything you taught is correct. I would just like to add that most interviewers at the end will ask, "Do you have any questions for me? " Your answer should always be "yes" Ask questions like, "How long have you been with the company and how do you like working here? " followed with "What made YOU interested in this job when YOU applied? " I have several more, but my point is, this shows you have genuine interest in the company. It has worked for me every time so far.
The Ultimate Fidget Spinners, ASMR, Reviews, Comedy But if you ask that to the ome
who interviews you... isnt that too personal? like... why would u ask me (the hiring manager) how long I am in this company?
JPao P. Not at all. I've been told before that I was hired, simply because I was the only candidate who asked questions. It shows a genuine interest in the company.
The Ultimate Fidget Spinners, ASMR, Reviews, Comedy I was in an interviewed and did not pass because I did not ask them back.
My questions are always related to the job and the company's product or services. Like when I apply as an artist, I asked if the company is the one who takes the photo of for the brochure or they hiring it outside same with the advertisement.... something like that.
You nailed it. Normally in interviews you are in answering mode, you have to stop and think about how to not only answer every question truthfully but in a way that puts you in a good light. Asking them questions that they have to answer personally puts them in your position, difference is you can drill behavioral interview questions and they can't drill your questions. My personal favorite is "What is something you know about the job now you wished you knew when you started working here?". It allows them to subtly clue you in to the more difficult or non-obvious parts of the job, and at worse it throws them off balance and gives you a few seconds to think.
Dan, Thank you so much !!!! I watched your video yesterday followed your tips and got the position I’ve always wanted! I already work for Yale but this position suits me very well😁😇 I always thought every interview I aced, but this one is a charmer. Thank you, my mind set of going forward with interviews are totally different.🤩
Watched your video on Tuesday evening when I was having an interview on Wednesday, and now I'm hired, can't tell how grateful I am to have watched your video, because it guided me in one way or another, KUDOSSSSSS and be blessedddddddddd🙌🙌🙌🙌
Manager: Tell me about yourself.
Me: What would you like to hear?

Hello Dan, great informative video. I have been learning a lot with your channel videos. This information gave me so much clarity, I tend to get very nervous on interviews. These videos have been very useful to me, for which I strongly recommend him and will take Dan especially into account in my future consultations. Thanks a lot for such good stuff.
i think being asked about yourself is the hardest question to be answered.. unless you really know about yourself.. i barely know myself and it scares me..
im too nervous and have a lots of things going on in my mind, it makes me forget everything about myself everytime i have an interview.....
They're not interested in what you are as a person. They're interested in your work history. For example:
I started as a physio in a hospital where I was responsible for.... I did that for x months... One of my biggest achievements in that job was...."
Hope that helps!
@@noelito7855 I think it also about what you really are as a person, in the workplace or as a student.. it's more than just your work history
@@royal3161 Sorry to break it to you mate but it really doesn't. I speak to a lot of recruiters and they unanimously said they don't care about your personal life.

Great Dan!..it was so encouraging and gave a very strong summary on how I have to prepared my next interview
Okay so I've got an interview in an hour... 😂👍
Edit: I got the job
Yes! Congratulations! Manifesting this energy!
My friend sent me your videos and I watched 3 of them. I cannot believe how much you influenced my outlook on being interviewed. I just finished an interview that I was worried about. But I went in there with such confidence and faith in myself that I am elated at how the interview went. I don't know if I will be invited to move to the next step, but I feel great anyway. Thank you so much. And now I am going to take my friend out to lunch.
I have a panel interview tomorrow with 6 team members, 45 mins each. I've been in so many interviews in the past and always looked at each failed interview as good practice instead of beating myself up. It really prepares you better since you're able to have answers prepared for questions you struggled with. I'm a bit rusty so here I am getting a refresher on the most common interview question. Very helpful content and tips.
Thanks Dan I took a lot away from this video after just failing 2 interviews in the last 2 weeks. Now I know why
Guys I`m 19 and since January I`ve had countless job interviews for big Corporates, all failed and Tuesday another one, hopefully I won`t fail, but please don`t give up cause if you don`t fight for yourself then who will?
I'm also 19 and getting prepared for interviews in my college
I’m 19 as well man. My first interview, I bombed. They told me they’d tell me about the status of my application in a few days, then they ghosted me. Never heard back.
Second interview went flawless. CTO said to me that they were still going to listen to the other candidates and will get back to me in a few days. She actually got back to me within 3 hours offering me the position.
You totally got this man (and to anyone else reading)! Never give up.
I'm also 19!!! My 4th interview is tomorrow!!!
Just don't give up! Fight for it! Don't stop until you Succeed what's your goal in life!
"Tell me about your self?" is such a tricky and vague question asked by recruiters during an interview. The problem is that interviewee does not know what it actually means and no one teaches you about such things in life. Whenever a recruiter asks this question it gives you a feeling like he/she has not gone through your resume, so you start rambling about your personal life and achievements. I believe it is not the interviewee's fault, the question itself is not appropriate. I think that recruiters should ask straight-forward questions, so that candidate knows what is being asked. Why play with words, confuse the candidate, and expect a magical answer. Funny thing, when recruiters went for their first job even they didn't know what this question actually meant. So, be humane and ask proper and clear questions. Recruiters should not try to be smart_ss and should not expect fakeness from candidates as well. However, Dan Lok has given wonderful tips about answering interview questions. So we should take them on board. Also, I like to thank Dan for sharing his wisdom and experience.
Lol so true
Why not. You must prove yourself that what written their is true and valuable. To be honest i sometimes copy words from other resume. also Imagine thousands of applicants they screening and its better to talk to the person as it tells their true personality. Pls note self confidence is important and a lot of values that you need to show you are worthy
I agree.
Exactly. Today they asked me to introduce myself. In my mind I was thinking, well haven't you gone through my resume/CV? Should I tell my name which is already there or should I tell you my qualification which is again there or should I tell you my age which is irrelevant or should I tell you my whole story why I am here for this job? There is no guarantee that the interviewer is better than an interviewee. What if the interviewee is technically better than the interviewer in some of the aspects. What if you can not express yourself how good you are? I have seen many people who speak/communicate better but they have no good idea of the topic. They just use their communication skills to disguise their fakeness. This does not mean they are actually better. But for 5 min of the interview, they seem perfect.
But from another perspective, it's normal to ask this question. Because the interviewer thinks this is the best way to initiate the interview. Also, they were asked the same question in the past while they were interviewed. It's inside there mind and they ask the same question to us. Think it this way, what would you ask or how would you initiate the interview if you were the interviewer? In general, everyone will do the same.
But I really do not want to answer this question. And the point is, this is not even a question and this is technically the most senseless statement.😁😁
How can you judge anyone in 5 min? At the same time, there is no any other best way too. oops, this is complicated. This really is complicated, man.
I hate job interviews. I wish I never had to face any interviews.
@@sebakoli6781 If you do not like interviews then you should think about working for yourself. I mean self-employment, freelancing, or starting a small business.
About the interview questions, some silly things have become the norm and almost all the interviewer ask similar questions. If you formulate your answers and practise them; there is a great chance you will get the job. However, still, if you do not get the job, sometimes a closed door is a blessing in disguise. Failure gives you the chance to get up again, brush it off and try again. So never lose hope and keep trying again and again. Your time will come and you will shine.
Hi Dan,
Greetings from India!
I just watched your video just before the interview with the biggest cement company in India. I think by channelizing your interview templates, I cracked the interview. You are an angel. I am going to see all your videos on UA-cam, non stop now.
I became your instant fan!
I just wanna share that I passed my initial interview today😭 I used the the three s, sir Dan! It's all thanks to you!❤️ Hopefully the final interview will go as smoothly as my initial. ❤️
Congratulations! How are things progressing?
In my recent job interview I talked about past experience how I handled difficult situations which is similar to the position I applied for. What I said was quite random, then I ran out of things to say because I don't know what else to say.
I had been talking about my experience and some of my skills for some time. He was there like quiet and just keep listening. What annoys me was he didn't response or anything. Eventually I ask my interviewer "Can you be more specific about the things you want to know about me?" (Not sure if I should have directed this question to my interviewer, but I did it..)
Then he said "nothing much, just a break the ice question". The conversation goes on for a little while and before I left, he said "there is a good news for you, you are hired!"
Well, kind of surprised. That's why I'm here to check what I said that triggered my interviewer to hire me on the spot. Kind of get the idea now. (Successful achievement in the past, not about personal life)
Thanks Dan Lok for the cool tips and advise 👍
I also just randomly talking about my skills and achievements.
Tbh when I was 17 trying to get my very first job I didnt even know you were NOT suppose to tell them your whole life story lmao
Me 😂
I did this omg
Uhuhuhu 😭😭 you same me 😢
😂same hia
Its a learning curve, you won't make that mistake again.
remember when i applied for my very first job abroad , my english wasn't good enough, so i made an script and practiced 100 times with the hope the interviewer would ask why am i applying for that company and position and Bingo succes !!
I am prepping for a job interview, I wrote so many notes about what you said. I like the way you explain it.
Interviewer: tell me bout urself
Me: you first sir😂(in a polite way)
simply april rose he he
so you're that type of person on tinder huh
so funny！
🤦🏻♂️😂
LOL
Stop viewing an interview as an interrogation, whether a professional conversation. Stop thinking it’s an auction, don’t degrade yourself in your mind like that. You are interviewing employers just as much as they are interviewing you, if they don’t have what you are looking for, have the integrity to respectfully walk away if you are not in a desperate situation, because believe me they will do the same vice versa. Utilize the depths of your vocabulary.
I may not have always been offered the job, but I never fail to make my mark with my interviewing abilities.
Very good perspective
Bump
What if the depth of your Vocab is only ankle height?...and you want to leave the employer unmarked?
Incredibly wise
YES
This worked for me. My answer is structured and detailed. Thank you for your tips. ❤ and yes! I got accepted!
Thank you. This is really helpful indeed. I can see the difference between a weak interviewee and a strong interviewee.
