    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.

      What I don't get it is, he is telling us to be honest. What is indeed ur previous boss was a d*. That's just being honest, why can't candidates be honest with their new potential employer. 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.

Like in customer service for example, when rude customers talk to you, do you deal with them are same way you would if you where dealing with them out side work? Is that you not being honest?

    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.

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.

    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!

    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!

    I am now absolutely horrified that I began my answer to "Tell us a bit about yourself" with "Well, I will start from the beginning. I was born in Minnesota...." and went through the decades. Damn. I have been screwing that question up for way too long.

    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.

    I did not get the job. I was hoping to come back here and write that I landed my dream job but this employer was very particular and didn’t want the typical interview questions. Her first question to me was “if you had all the money in the world and all the time what would your day look like” I nailed the answer. The problem was that I didn’t send a thank you note after the first interview. I was invited a second time and the hiring manager said “In the future whether you get this job or not, don’t forget to send the thank you email”
    I overlooked that small detail and and still on the journey of finding a job. Wishing you all the best out there in the same journey.

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.
