    No matter what kind of job interview you have coming up, it’s likely they will ask you several of these questions, if not all of them. So I want to share with you my best tips for answering these top 10 interview questions.
    These are the 10 most common questions a hiring manager, recruiter, or interviewer will most likely ask you on a first, second, or even third job interview. To make answering these top 10 questions easy for you, I’m going to break down each question in to all the Do’s and Don’ts so it will be blatantly obvious how to answer them, and as equally important, how NOT to answer them.
    These questions have been around for a long time and interviewers have been asking them since people started interviewing for jobs. Even though they are old questions, one thing has changed: The best way to answer them for the current times.
    No doubt, there are many other questions you will be asked on your interview, but these are the root questions. You need to know these. Once I show you how to answer these top 10 questions, I’ll show you where you can a complete list of other common interview questions and answers with a break-down on the best way to answer each one.

I bet some of them have been similar position. I believe honesis the best policy. Let them recruit you based on whom you are n not what you want them to think you are. At least when u are searching for a long term career.

    Just remember, they can't see your fear unless you show them! Just act confident in what you say and rehearse in front of a mirror until you feel comfortable with what you are saying. Confidence is key, and you will never be able to rise above your anxiety until the day you decide you CAN. Your reality is shaped by your beliefs, if you don't believe in something, you will never see the possibilities that may come from it.

      I actually love interviews myself because I know that it's a sign that everything else has already lined up fairly well, an interview is almost a test to make sure you're not a complete idiot because by the time they interview you you're already somewhat qualified for the position and they already have somewhat of an interest in you it's just your job not to screw it up by saying something stupid during the interview.

    Hi Don, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping out me throughout my 4 months interview journey.
    I might have watched 25+ videos of you and sometimes I use to just listen to them as a podcast during my commute.
    Thank you for making me realise that preparation is a must. Even though you have to be yourself in the interview, you have to be prepared in advance to reply in the best possible way. Finally yesterday I got an email stating that I got the Job in my Dream Company. I cannot thank you enough. Being a non-native English speaker, you really helped me develop my confidence.

      ​@@DonGeorgevich Thank you, the interviewer had taken kindly to my approach. I have also assemble a clipboard, pens and paper for critical notes and a folder with lamented documents of my resume and application. The interview had transition smoothly, however there was one question that puzzle me. "If there was one word to describe yourself, what would that be?" I have a number of answers but overall I could not fathom a proper response and concluded my final answer as "Inscrutable".
      The interviewers began to write something down in a hurry as if he was about to jump out of his sits. I glance down on his note and it read out "Extraordinary". He then look up to me with a smile that has shifted from his blank expression at the beginning of the meeting and proceed to congregate information about my availability, transportation, time and date that I will be starting at the post office.

    I just wanted to say Thank You! Every job I've had in my career has fallen into my lap. I've never really felt pressure to interview, because I really already had the job and the interview was just a formality. But TODAY I have a REAL interview for a job I really want. So I started with this video a few days ago, and started practicing my responses. Moving long term memory to short term memory - that's a brilliant hack! I made Notecards with 50 possible questions and practiced my answers out loud. I'm still nervous, but I feel MUCH more prepared after watching this video. Thank you so much! I'll let you know if I get the job.

    I watched all your videos the last week and got the job. Crazy I have interviewed with this company for the last three years with barely any response. I got a second interview once. I followed your tips and this interview was worlds different. Got the offer 2 hours later. OMG. Your videos are amazing. My one big mistake in the past was not asking SMART question at the end and not using the STAR method for behavioral questions. They keep saying they loved my questions t the end and it created a whole new discussion which helps me get more excited about the position. It was a win-win. Thanks again.

    This man speaks the pure truth! He knows the game perfectly and I followed all his advices from the videos, including this one, and I smashed the 2nd interview! Especially cause I was so poorly prepared for the first one but I improvised by showing excitement for the role and giving good feedback for the company and this was enough to convince my recruiter to grant me a 2nd interview. She also sent me tips and advices how to prepare myself and all of them are in a total accord with this man's advices from the videos. I had 5 days to prepare and that was enough for me. Watching several videos of him and following his advices made me be halfway there with my application process by passing the big interview. Now just the background check and one more basic easy phone interview and the job is mine!
    Big thanks and respect to Don Georgevic!

  • @palladium607
    @palladium607 5 років тому +3

    Hopefully this helps someone- I conduct interviews as part of my job (operations supervisor.) We do targeted selection style interviews; therefore, it is imperative that applicants answer in STAR format. If you can do that then you're miles ahead of most of the competition. If you don't know what that is, then look it up because I know of very few companies who do not utilize this style interview. Come prepared with very specific examples from your professional career where you demonstrated strengths you feel will be pertinent to job you are applying for. Research the company you're interviewing at. It boggles my mind when I sit down with someone and ask, "So what do you know about this company," and they say something akin to....""mmm, not a whole lot."I instantly feel my time is about to be wasted, and most of the time I'm not wrong. Lastly, work in key words- I can't transcribe every thing you say during the interview, so I write key phrases you say that stand out to me. For instance, say, I am passionate about leading and developing people- it provides me great satisfaction to share in that journey with others. Passionate is a strong word. Use positive language! Good luck everyone!

    Wow this is simply amazing advice. I suffer from anxiety and all that tips you have given are genius and have provided me with some sense of relief. I've been dodging looking for work because I dread the interview process but I refuse to sit back and do nothing any longer, its been a year and I'm ready to suck it up and let them know how valuable I'am as an employee. I have 4 yrs experience and lut my heart into my job and that's the hard truth. Anxiety stinks but we have to learn to look at how amazing we really are as people and stop beating ourselves up about anxiety and just tackle it head on. Practice makes a huge diff. in helping to reduce anxiety. We go this yall.

    Don, I had been stuck in a job I hate for 6 years but I had never left is because it paid well. It is also a job that was completely different from the job I used to do, so returning to the same profession before that became really difficult since I already spent 6 years in this other job. Three months ago, I got laid off because the company faced financial issues due to COVID. I would get interviews once a month (yep) since I'm trying to go back to the same profession I had before, but because of my most recent job, I guess my application got ignored a lot.
    Luckily, I got an interview for the profession I love and your videos helped me structure my thoughts and sell myself despite the 6 years I spent in my recent job that was irrelevant to the job I was applying for . Now, I am paid more and I get to do what I like. I guess that job really was meant for me. Your advice definitely helped me be my best self in that interview. I'm a manager now.Thank you!
