I feel like I always prepare so much but still draw blanks because I am so nervous. I have an interview in 15 mins and I’m trying to calm down Edit: I got the job!!! Edit 2023: I’m still at the same job 🥰 thank you for your comments over the years! I love it here
Interviews should be changed to "get-to-know you" meets. People will be totally chill if you could talk in person in some cafe or a restaurant. Introverts should be given a chance too 😭
Yes! I’m an introvert and can work my butt off. But the interview, I freeze. I’m aware of the job(s) but in the moment, I draw blanks. But ones who gave me a chance did not ever regret it.
@@hunneedrops Embrace the nervousness. I'm an introvert as well but have learned to lean into the nerves/intense feelings instead of shying from it. It isn't easy but reframing the situation has helped so much and I feel like a million bucks after I get through it no matter how it went.
I'm in HR and do recruiting, and I myself am nervous during interviews and it's hilarious! That's why when I'm interviewing others, I just wish I could tell them hey, it's fine, you're doing great! And when I'm interviewing, I wish I could just listen to my own words of advice!
I can't tell you how many interviews I've been on where the Interviewing Manager was rambling and unprepared. They are not often trained in how to interview to elicit the right info on best candidates. They are focused on themselves, not listening deeply enough.
I tried these tips and many other interview questions that you taught i was offered a job the same day thank you so much you are life saver I have been unemployed for a long time and after 8 unsuccessful interviews my 9th interview was successful and landed me my first job thanks to you.. God bless you ❤️❤️
I think over time, as you get more experience and have done quite a few interviews, you'll just naturally start to feel more relaxed. Another thing I like to think about before an interview that calms me down a bit is that it's not the end of the world if you don't get the job. You'll still be ok, there'll be another place.
1. make yourself comfortable in the space before the interview (be present) 2. Prepare your stories and responses in advances (have a stockpile of potential stories) 3. Practice your answers on camera/in the mirror beforehand 4. Focus on them, not you (shift your focus onto them and make sure your answers are landing/appreciating what your saying) 5. Dress the part
@@happygoluckyscamp I was nervous right upto entering the boardroom. After the greeting it was a breeze. The preparation and practising did help. Been there almost 5 months now and loving it.
I just had an interview and just when I thought it was over they did 2 role play scenarios which caught me off guard and I stumbled and bombed. It was an internal position to move up in my current team. I left feeling upset, mad at myself and embarrassed. That was two weeks ago and I’m still recovering. Whoa!
One thing that I advise my clients is focusing on gratitude. That psychologically hacks your brain so that you think about the positives and the negative noise falls to the backdrop.
I would say immediately in the interview start with an ice breaker. Don’t respond to the “how are you today” with “good thanks, and you”. Start an exchange immediately share a short (positive) comment or ask them something immediately eg thanks for taking the time to meet with me today or I hope you’re having a great day/week so far. Makes a huge difference and helps pace the interview getting the nerves out!
There's people out there who actually like interviews! Crazy! I get so nervous, I practice a lot, breathe, and try and focus on the positives. But I hate not knowing the person before hand, and I hate not knowing what they will say. For the most part, they will ask common questions that I have practiced, but some catch me off guard and I hate thinking of things on the spot! I have an interview tomorrow, so I will definitely try these!
That is understandable. I study interview questions to and 90% of them are used. I also try to remember what stories I will use before my interview. Also, just a few minutes ago I researched the people who I will be interviewed by since it is a Zoom interview and some went to the same college as me and only been on the job for a year or 2. Crazy. I'm still nervous but trying to breathe
I've done a terrible job trying to convey my interest and skills in an interview bc of how nervous I get. So now I'm channeling my inner frustration and anger to improving. Thank you Linda!!!!!
It's been a long time since I've had an interview but I was definitely somebody to get nervous. However, I learnt how to disguise this with confident body language. It must have worked because it got me the jobs. Great video Linda!
I have a job interview today, i was thinking I'm shy but actually I'm nervous, after this video I'm feeling more comfortable. I now the secret is practice. Thanks Linda
Okay I struggle with interviews!! To the point where my nervousness takes over and makes me forget the answers and I stutter. Sometimes my eyes or mouth will twitch it’s embarrassing!
i think the most useful tips for me is : Prepare your stories and responses in advances (have a stockpile of potential stories) because this is the first thing we have to prepare before the interview, the answer from the question that might be need some research like "what do you know about us as a company?" if you unprepared for this kind of question then you'll get nervous, this is the reason why you get nervous because you unprepared. so making sure that you fully know what examples, stories, achievement and responses you going to have to the most common question that come up in interview...
I was looking through your videos before my interview for a Telemarketing position here in San Diego California, and I got the job! Thank you for sharing. I was laid off from the restaurant industry back in March 2020 when Covid started and its my first time working in the office industry with no experience. To anyone that's looking forward to their interview, get there early be sharp, enthusiastic, and have faith, believe in yourself! I hope all of you have an amazing 2021, you deserve it!
One time I was so desperate to relax I watched King Julian’s videos lol. It helped a bit 😅 but I was still shaking. Smh. It’s even worse for introverts. Part of the nerves is lying I hate lying. Sigh.
Hi Linda, not sure if you read comments but I wanted to let you know that your tips helped me a lot in feeling less nervous in a recent interview. I was offered the position so thank you for doing what you do! :)
Ive taken in these interview tips and my problem is, majority of these answers are for retail. I work for Dpt of Homeland Security and the answers they want are nowhere near the answers they give here lol when they want different scenarios, the last thing they want is my retail experience.. they dont relate and have no interest listening about employees not wanting to stock 😂😂
hi! thanks for the useful tips! the most useful tip for me is the third tip. if we practice in front of the camera before the interview, we can prepare ourselves first. because the more often we practice, then we will be able to do it easily, without being nervous. we can train ourselves how to be in a good position during the interview, how to make eye contact with the interviewer. with practice, we'll get through something well.
Let me just say, I owe you my life. I've lost track and somehow we can say I almost ruined my life. I've been wanting to change but I fail all the job interviews I had even tho I can say I'm qualified for the position. But after watching your videos, I got a job I wanted even tho I have ZERO experience to that job and I'm now earning more than what I expected. I also recommended your videos to my partner and one friend, they both also got the job they applied for. Thank you so much!!!!!
I am here because I almost did not get the job during my final interview because I was so nervous I stutter and ramble for words. 😢 I'm just lucky that the manager gave me another chance to do over the interview tomorrow. It's really hard when you're an ovethinker and an introvert at the same time. I also have stage fright. I do well on my job but really frightened with interviews and presentations.
Thank you, your tips and descriptions are very clear. I think the most important tips is to make yourself comfortable in thr space before the interview. Before the interview, we need to relax ourselves, make ourselves comfortable, not worry, and get rid of thoughts that can interfere with the course of the interview. When we’re stressed or anxious we tend to take quick and shallow breathes. When we have prepared everything such as interview material, but if we are uncomfortable and our minds are not calm, all will be disturbed. Material preparation is important, but what is more important is mental preparation because it lies within us.
Have an idea of points you want talk for very question about in the interview...prepare answers well...don’t bye heart. Don’t practice too much...that creates nervousness..take interview casually and easy..don’t take it too seriously .i take interviews casually like conversations between people..that makes things easy.. develop motivation that you want the job and I want to do it..that reduces nervousness and creates drive in you to do well.
Great tips! I've been binge watching your vids and applied them to my online interview that I had on Monday. Still waiting for a decision from them, however I appreciate the tips because it changed the way I think about interviews and they're not so nerve wrecking anymore. I'm better prepared for them. Thx Linda🌌😊
Wow! Great content, I think the most important tip is number two and number three. The reason is that when we interview we have to have the material to answer that question and to avoid getting nervous we have to train to get used to it and not forget our own material.
Thank you, I went from an anxious mess to calmish and kept myself together and got hired on the spot!! It was an interview for Ross, I actually declined it and doing another interview today somewhere else.
Just watching this reassured me, thank you, I have an interview this afternoon, have been on the other side so many times, still getting nervous now, think it is because I really really want this particular job.
Hey! Linda that was so helpful am currently preparing for online interview,and I was about to do that without preparing I just realised I know nothing about them thank you for saving the day.
I am interviewing a lot lately and I feel that a certain level of nervousness (not too much) actually helps to show that he/she really wants the job and is committed. If somebody is too confident I get quickly the impression that they don't really value the opportunity and may turn out to be arrogant if selected.
I think I have arrived at a point where I am comfortable preparing well, and then not getting overly nervous in an interview. I'd still be nervous but it's tolerable first off, and second it actually makes my responses a little better. It's that moderate state of stage nervousness but simultaneously feeling totally in control. Hence, it's good. I think for the first one I was definitely less confident, feeling extremely scared that I may deal some damage to myself. Luckily the interviewer was nice, and it didn't just serve as a job interview, it served as training. You get more confident after you've trained.
Wow, your video is very educational. I like the second tip, because I think this is the most useful for me. "Prepare your stories and responses in advance", because if we prepare stories and responses before the job interviews, then we will be ready and responsive when interviewed by the hiring manager. I think preparing stories and responses is by recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses, digging deeper about the company, and what makes us interested in applying for jobs at the company and also why the company should employ us, so we can control ourselves so as not to get nervous🤩
I got the job!!! Thank you for this. I watched a few of your vids and made tons of notes and it worked! I applied for this job like 5 times lol maybe more. 👍👍
Hi, thankyou for the tips. But i think the most useful tips for me is practice the answers in front of the camera or mirror, because practicing your answers will help you feel more comfortable, and you can practice your posture, body language and eye contact, after rewatch yourself what you look and sound like when you’re nervous so you can improve them. And also you will already have an idea of the main points to cover during your real interview and will ensure you are prepared to answer questions the interviewer asks with more confident.
I had an interview today where 4 managers interviewed me. The more people interviewed me the more nervous I get and I feel like I failed horribly. I have another interview at a company Tuesday, hopefully it goes better after watching this video.
I'm having my first ever interview today and I have been nervous for the past two days. I have terrible social anxiety and it always affects my communication skills. I am trying my hardest to stay confident but I keep going back to my nervousness
Thanks for the tips. I think, by practicing answering interviews in front of the mirror, it will make me more fluent in answering during interviews by skype or zoom. and practicing my posture, body language and eye contact in front of the mirror will make me more confident during the interview.
I’ll be having my first internship interview tomorrow and I’m crying and panicking all day today. I really reallyyy want to land this job gosh. Thank you for this. Wish me luck!
Not only did I fully research the company I also was prepared to discuss how my skill set meets the needs of that company and how I can potentially bring the company to the next level. I brought notes. That is totally acceptable. I also developed engaging questions regarding the company and then questioning about my potential role.
this is so funny, i’m watching this video now and did my preliminary interview for an internship earlier and used all of these techniques!! definitely recommend, I feel I did well and i’m excited :)
I totally agree with you at 11:35. When I am in a job interview and if I know I am going to a social setting, I won't wear clothing I am embarrassed to wear, because I will act nervous as hell.
Thanks for the Tips!!! The third tip is really help me, "Practice your answer on Camera beforehand". Practice, practice, and practice on mirror or camera. I always nervous when someone give me question, my head goes blank. So, with practice, i can increase my confident and courage. And i can find out what should i improve.
This video is very useful because some people need tips like this and I really agree with the 5th tip "Dress the part" because at that time your appearance is also an added value. Dress style is not only a matter of displaying self-confidence, but also paying attention to the atmosphere and condition. Comfortable for you is not necessarily comfortable in the view of others. Especially during the interview, everything about us will be assessed in such a way. But the appearance must also be good and need not be excessive. Adjust to the condition of the body and the company we are aiming for.
Hi Linda, I want you to know that I followed your tips for a job interview I had. I would NOT have done so well had I not followed your advice. And...I got the job. Thank you so much for your help.
the interview is a part of success to your career .most important is you are well connected ,you need to have a lot of social connections in the related field .
I danced before my interview to kill the anxiety and give me an adrenaline rush to distract me from my anxiety then did deep breathing a minute before the interview and I got to the second round. Now I’m nervous again for the second round. It never ends 😭
Another great tip. Thank you Linda - you’ve inspired me to create a UA-cam channel for Australia. Being a Career Strategist for over 7 years. I didn’t see UA-cam as a platform.
I had an interview today, and felt quite nervous even though I am confident during interviews and it never happened before, and I feel like I screwed up while answering some questions, but anyways i don’t regret, another interview experience on a bucket 😅
all of those tips were important and useful. but for me, the most useful tip is "Prepare your stories and responses in advance" because preparing is the most important on job interview. if I had to answer specific answer like "what do this company do" or else then I have the answer and easily can response their questions. it needs to be prepared and be ready for the job interview for avoiding nervous while attending the interview. just like some movies i watched about job interview that most of the interviewer asking us about "how do you look the company" or so.
I learned as a college student who needed a part time job during summer break before my senior yr last year that cafes/food service like to hear about max availability. The mistake I made was I gave too much information on what might happen (Sundays I have an afternoon commitment but doesn’t happen weekly-could’ve prioritized the job over that) and how I would need to clock on time when actually the place clocks within a minute after end of shift. I ended up not getting it. Don’t do what I did :) (What ended up happening I was at an internship provider i enjoyed that cut the program short within such short notice and then had a month without any work at all )
@@enilee3161 Best of luck. Remember to focus on the value you can bring to the company. Make it all about them and how your unique skillset can solve their problems. You've got this!
If you’re still on the job hunt, I recommend looking up the company on Glassdoor and seeing what questions they ask ahead of time! Be careful though, you don’t want to only prepare for these questions - the idea is just to know what types of questions they ask. Hope this helps anyone!
I did a interview at M&S Oadby and passed it within the Prince Trust and felt nervous an heisted while calming down while answering the questions because I’ve improvise. After that I got into M&S Oadby 4 weeks experience but then didn’t get a job.
Hi Kanesha... How did your video interview go? I'm going to have mine first ever video interview on Monday...I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Any tips?
Hey, I interviewed several people before. and u know what, I got nervous too. Just remember, we r all human and the person that is going to interview u is also just a human. Trick your mind by thinking that these people r just the same as u, so u don't get intimidated by them. Silly me, I thought of," they poop too and they fart too" haha but it works.
thank you for the tips and explanation in detail and summarized in words that are easy to understand. The first tip you gave really helped me because the thing I hate the most is being nervous when talking to new people so that I can't give the best that is. there in me, with the tips you provide can make me calmer when doing job interviews

@@hunneedrops yup me too
Thats actually a good idea 😂
@@hunneedrops Embrace the nervousness. I'm an introvert as well but have learned to lean into the nerves/intense feelings instead of shying from it. It isn't easy but reframing the situation has helped so much and I feel like a million bucks after I get through it no matter how it went.

Interesting! True! All people can have feelings and also nervousness on energetical level can be contageous for empaths especially or HSPs
Same!!

How long was your interview and how long did you have to wait to tell you you got the job
I think over time, as you get more experience and have done quite a few interviews, you'll just naturally start to feel more relaxed. Another thing I like to think about before an interview that calms me down a bit is that it's not the end of the world if you don't get the job. You'll still be ok, there'll be another place.
Tomorrow, I have an initial interview. I started get nervous already. But reading your comments made me calm. Thank you!
That’s easy when you have money to spare lol
@@SarahBevElizabeth It helps no matter what your situation. Embrace the process.
I've been interviewing since forever and I still get disturbingly nervous
I LIKE YOUR SJTREE SAY ITS END NOT THE OF WORLD THATS WAS FUNNY
1. make yourself comfortable in the space before the interview (be present)
2. Prepare your stories and responses in advances (have a stockpile of potential stories)
3. Practice your answers on camera/in the mirror beforehand
4. Focus on them, not you (shift your focus onto them and make sure your answers are landing/appreciating what your saying)

Wow thank you for this Dr. Jon.
Just by imagining - I feel my nervousness will go away. Yes. Be thankful!
"focus outwards" as an introvert these are the EXACT WORDS I NEEDED!!! Interview in 4 days. I'll practice!
I would say immediately in the interview start with an ice breaker. Don’t respond to the “how are you today” with “good thanks, and you”. Start an exchange immediately share a short (positive) comment or ask them something immediately eg thanks for taking the time to meet with me today or I hope you’re having a great day/week so far. Makes a huge difference and helps pace the interview getting the nerves out!
You mean phrase it like a statement as opposed to a question.
Yeah I think that sounds infinitely better tbh 😅
There's people out there who actually like interviews! Crazy! I get so nervous, I practice a lot, breathe, and try and focus on the positives. But I hate not knowing the person before hand, and I hate not knowing what they will say.

Did you get the job? Hope you did!
I did get the job ! I actually started Monday ! 💕
@@AmberB Congrats!! Enjoy!
@@AmberB hey amber. How'd it go? I'll have my first Job interview in a couple of days. Tell me. how was your experience. I am a little nervous
Wow, your video is very educational. I like the second tip, because I think this is the most useful for me. "Prepare your stories and responses in advance", because if we prepare stories and responses before the job interviews, then we will be ready and responsive when interviewed by the hiring manager. I think preparing stories and responses is by recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses, digging deeper about the company, and what makes us interested in applying for jobs at the company and also why the company should employ us, so we can control ourselves so as not to get nervous🤩
I got the job!!! Thank you for this. I watched a few of your vids and made tons of notes and it worked! I applied for this job like 5 times lol maybe more. 👍👍
Hi, thankyou for the tips. But i think the most useful tips for me is practice the answers in front of the camera or mirror, because practicing your answers will help you feel more comfortable, and you can practice your posture, body language and eye contact, after rewatch yourself what you look and sound like when you’re nervous so you can improve them. And also you will already have an idea of the main points to cover during your real interview and will ensure you are prepared to answer questions the interviewer asks with more confident.
I had an interview today where 4 managers interviewed me. The more people interviewed me the more nervous I get and I feel like I failed horribly. I have another interview at a company Tuesday, hopefully it goes better after watching this video.
How'd it go?
I'm having my first ever interview today and I have been nervous for the past two days. I have terrible social anxiety and it always affects my communication skills. I am trying my hardest to stay confident but I keep going back to my nervousness
Thank you, I have a job interview in two days. It will definitely be a blessing from God if I get it and also from watching this video.
Thanks for the tips. I think, by practicing answering interviews in front of the mirror, it will make me more fluent in answering during interviews by skype or zoom. and practicing my posture, body language and eye contact in front of the mirror will make me more confident during the interview.
I'm going to get interviews soon; only 2 hours more. I'm nervous, but I'm going to try my best. I'll update you more about my results. Wish me luck.🙏🏻
I’ll be having my first internship interview tomorrow and I’m crying and panicking all day today. I really reallyyy want to land this job gosh. Thank you for this. Wish me luck!
Not only did I fully research the company I also was prepared to discuss how my skill set meets the needs of that company and how I can potentially bring the company to the next level. I brought notes. That is totally acceptable. I also developed engaging questions regarding the company and then questioning about my potential role.
this is so funny, i’m watching this video now and did my preliminary interview for an internship earlier and used all of these techniques!! definitely recommend, I feel I did well and i’m excited :)
I totally agree with you at 11:35. When I am in a job interview and if I know I am going to a social setting, I won't wear clothing I am embarrassed to wear, because I will act nervous as hell.
Thanks for the Tips!!! The third tip is really help me, "Practice your answer on Camera beforehand". Practice, practice, and practice on mirror or camera. I always nervous when someone give me question, my head goes blank. So, with practice, i can increase my confident and courage. And i can find out what should i improve.
This video is very useful because some people need tips like this and I really agree with the 5th tip "Dress the part" because at that time your appearance is also an added value. Dress style is not only a matter of displaying self-confidence, but also paying attention to the atmosphere and condition. Comfortable for you is not necessarily comfortable in the view of others. Especially during the interview, everything about us will be assessed in such a way. But the appearance must also be good and need not be excessive. Adjust to the condition of the body and the company we are aiming for.
Hi Linda, I want you to know that I followed your tips for a job interview I had. I would NOT have done so well had I not followed your advice. And...I got the job. Thank you so much for your help.
the interview is a part of success to your career .most important is you are well connected ,you need to have a lot of social connections in the related field .
OMG! I GOT AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW.. WISH ME LUCK!✨
I'll update yall..
Pauleen.
We're you able to land the job?
Thank you so much!! I have an interview tomorrow and will practice during my lunch today😃
I danced before my interview to kill the anxiety and give me an adrenaline rush to distract me from my anxiety then did deep breathing a minute before the interview and I got to the second round. Now I’m nervous again for the second round. It never ends 😭
I have an interview this Thursday. 😄 I want this job so badly and really appreciate these tips. Wish me luck! 🤗
Me too! Good luck!
How did it go?
Another great tip. Thank you Linda - you’ve inspired me to create a UA-cam channel for Australia. Being a Career Strategist for over 7 years. I didn’t see UA-cam as a platform.
Love your videos! I have my fifth interview with a company in 90 mins, I’ll keep everyone updated!! 🙏🏼
How'd it go?
Right. How did it go?
I had an interview today, and felt quite nervous even though I am confident during interviews and it never happened before, and I feel like I screwed up while answering some questions, but anyways i don’t regret, another interview experience on a bucket 😅
all of those tips were important and useful. but for me, the most useful tip is "Prepare your stories and responses in advance" because preparing is the most important on job interview. if I had to answer specific answer like "what do this company do" or else then I have the answer and easily can response their questions. it needs to be prepared and be ready for the job interview for avoiding nervous while attending the interview. just like some movies i watched about job interview that most of the interviewer asking us about "how do you look the company" or so.
Will be having an interview in 3 hours. I am so nervous i couldnt sleep properly. Send me prayers and luck.
Got an interview tomorrow... wish me luck !
I have an interview in a week. Thank you for the tips ❤️
This video gave me more anxiety. It just made me feel like I didn’t prepare enough now my nerves are starting up again.
I got 5 engineering interviews tomorrow, these videos have been super helpful for handling nervousness
I learned as a college student who needed a part time job during summer break before my senior yr last year that cafes/food service like to hear about max availability. The mistake I made was I gave too much information on what might happen (Sundays I have an afternoon commitment but doesn’t happen weekly-could’ve prioritized the job over that) and how I would need to clock on time when actually the place clocks within a minute after end of shift. I ended up not getting it. Don’t do what I did :) (What ended up happening I was at an internship provider i enjoyed that cut the program short within such short notice and then had a month without any work at all )
Thanks for this. I have my final interview tomorrow. Pray for me 🙏
Hope you got it
@@shwetaagrawal1644 hey i passed and i got the job! ❤️❤️❤️
I am going to have an interview next week! Your tips really help!
I am fine in interviews. Getting an interview is the issue!
I have a phone interview next week.. you can answer for me lol
@@enilee3161 Best of luck. Remember to focus on the value you can bring to the company. Make it all about them and how your unique skillset can solve their problems. You've got this!
@@purplegal05 thankyou, im practicing as the interviews had been pushed back.
Amazing advice. This is some of the best professional growth content out there. Love these videos!
I messed up in my last interview (can't they be considerate with my tiny introvert heart) but here I am hoping this will help me in my interview later
You're definitely helping for my interview tomorrow! Thank you so much.
hey how did it go?
Great tips here and one that is extremely useful during the current environment, thanks for sharing
Agree with Dino. Good timing.
It’s hard to practice your answers when you don’t know what will be asked
There are general questions that they will usually always ask
such as tell me about yourself
strength and weaknesses etc ☺️
If you’re still on the job hunt, I recommend looking up the company on Glassdoor and seeing what questions they ask ahead of time! Be careful though, you don’t want to only prepare for these questions - the idea is just to know what types of questions they ask. Hope this helps anyone!
@@richarddurkee4617 Glassdoor is so useful 💯
Exactly.
I did a interview at M&S Oadby and passed it within the Prince Trust and felt nervous an heisted while calming down while answering the questions because I’ve improvise. After that I got into M&S Oadby 4 weeks experience but then didn’t get a job.
Great advice, need to be critical towards yourself.
If you are practicing with someone be sure to be critical to them too.
Thank you very much for your work, dedication and time! Your work is anormously helpful, easy to use in practice and brings positive results!
I got a callback interview after listening to a bunch of these videos ! :)
The job I have an interview for tomorrow has over 100 job openings, yet i’m still so nervous🥺 Thank you for your tips!
Greats tips Linda!! Thanks a lot! I see some videos it's very important too, body language and tone voice. Because our body speak so much about us.

Hi Kanesha... How did your video interview go? I'm going to have mine first ever video interview on Monday...I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
Any tips?
I have an interview in a few hours and I needed this information, thank you!
Hey, I interviewed several people before. and u know what, I got nervous too. Just remember, we r all human and the person that is going to interview u is also just a human. Trick your mind by thinking that these people r just the same as u, so u don't get intimidated by them. Silly me, I thought of," they poop too and they fart too" haha but it works.
Less than 2 hrs and been binging these for days now. Haha!! Wish me luck
Good luck 😸
