Hi Madeline!! can you please do a video on 15 competency triggers. Thanks for you are doing to help job seekers!! It's really appreciative 😊
I just want to say Thank You Madeline Mann for all of your great, and remarkably free somehow, information for job seekers! I've used some of your wisdom along with a couple of other educators, and my own job seeking experience, to create what I think of as an ironclad toolkit for being confident and effective out on the job market. Please keep up the good work, there's so many people that still need your help 🙂
I cannot than you enough!! My interview took a turning point when we finally reached to the part where I asked questions. The atmosphere has changed, my interviewers decided to get friendly with me and I got an email from the company one day after the interview; that is; today ! :) and I got offered the position in the organization I’ve been trying to work for for the past 2 years . Thank you so much for everything that you share 😊
I have asked the question "Do you have any doubts about my abilities" , and it did not go over well; it made the hiring manager visibly uncomfortable. Now that I am an interviewer and have candidates asking me this question, I can see why. I have no desire to tell someone that I'm not sold on them, and then have them make me late for my next interview because they're trying to backpedal and fix all their answers. I mostly seem to get this question from people who bombed the interview and want me to ease their anxiety, but even on the occasion that I hear it from someone who did well, it feels like they want me to confirm and give them a little ego bump. It's just a bad look all around; if you did your research and practiced for the interview, the interviewer shouldn't have doubts about your abilities. Keep it dignified and wait for them to tell you if you passed or not.
I stopped asking the risky question bc of the tone/potential to backfire is too high. I do like to ask the following:
-What is different about working at Company than anywhere else you've worked previously?
-is there anything I should read or prepare prior to starting that would set up shared understanding with my colleagues?
I had an interview today so all day yesterday I was studying and preparing for it and after my interview today they offered me the job on the spot!!!! I just wanted to say thank you for helping people get their dream jobs!!!
I've asked a variation of the wrap-up question "Do you have any hesitations about hiring me?". First, I wouldn't phrase it exactly that way, I don't put the word "hesitation" in there because that puts that negative thought in the interviewer's mind. I've asked along the lines of "Is there anything I've done or said up to this point that has made you think I'm not an optimal hire for this role or company?". I heard that question phrased that way a couple years ago and I loved it, and I've used it in three job interviews since.... I've gotten job offers every time.
I like the question as I heard it initially because what it does is it forces a snap mental decision on the part of the interviewer about you, a simple up or down vote. Now, you have to use your own judgement, about if the interview actually went well. If it did then it can only work in your favor. Human beings can fall into a malaise of too many choices and overthinking, you ask them that question it brings immediately to the front of their minds all of the things they like about you, and then puts the concrete idea of you working for them into existence
It's not asking them for an immediate decision to hire you (in my opinion at least, maybe depends on how you deliver it), it's just re-sorting all of the mental data they have about you, juxtaposed to other candidates as well, in the best way possible for your benefit. Like I said, I'm batting 1.000% using that question at the end of interviews, and they've been pleasantly surprised and delighted to answer it. Next time I'm on the job market I'll be using it again in all likelihood, can't imagine why I wouldn't
The number of sales managers who told me I should ask a version of that wrap up question is numberless. I have definitely asked it in interviews in the past. Now I ask it more like "What information are you missing that could prevent you from moving me to the next stage of the process?" It usually gets them to tell me they're interviewing people with a lot more experience or something along those lines, which helps keep my expectations in check. During previous job searches (years ago), it used to illicit a "nope, you nailed this and we'll reach out about the next stage this week". Hopefully I'll get back to that level of movement soon!
Hey, just had my interview after 0 sleep all night with a sick child. Your video's gave me the ammo needed to be able to perform. Thanks a lot!
Hi! I had an initial phone interview with HR today for a position and used a few of the 15 questions. The HR rep was delighted and said what a great question! She will be in touch next week to follow up with next steps for the video interview! Brilliant info - thanks so much!
My favorite question to ask the interviewer: I understand that your company has accolades but I also want to know further were there any challenges your organization encountered and how did the business address and overcome these challenges? One interviewer had his brows crossed for a few seconds (lol) and another interviewer mentioned "that is a very good question" before she proceeded to answer. :)
I just wanted to come over here and express my extreme thanks. I started watching your videos about a month ago and now I’m starting in my dream job today with a dream salary. May God bless you for all your hard work!
Madeline… thank YOU!!! You have helped me land every job I’ve interviewed for in the last few years of finding your channel!! Every.single.time! I consistently go back to “tell me about yourself”, reviewing your info and this time, these questions rocked it! Thank you thank you! I can’t say it enough!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Madeline!! Your videos and advice have successfully landed me a job last year and I just got an offer for a promotion today!! I attribute my confidence in the interview to your videos and have shared your channel with friends and family who are also job shopping!
I was SO hoping that I would get to leave a comment with a success story one day, and the day has come! I recently graduated with my MA and was having a hard time getting any bites on my resume. A dream job at a dream company opened up that was right up my alley, and I decided to go for it. 5 interviews later, I got offered the job. It comes with amazing pay, benefits, and culture! It's all thanks to you and your amazing videos! Seriously, for the near month that this interview process took, I binged nearly every one of your videos, and they helped tremendously. Trust the process, people!
Congrats!
Did NOT expect that quiz to be so spot-on--especially the "watch-outs". Appreciate the positivity! :)
Hi Madeline, i cant thank you enough for your wonderful tips on interviews. I was always terrified of interviews but after binge watching your videos i landed on an opportunity i always wanted.. lots of love and best wishes for your future!
Great questions, thank you!
I just used some of these and the phone interview / Job interview videos! Help me get the JOB!! Thank you
I used to love that risky question and it can payoff in certain situations. But, your point of view has really helped me better understand how it can potentially come off wrong. Thank you so much for that insight!
I have an interview Friday. Perfect time to see this. You almost never come up in my phone notifications
I like to ask (1) "where this role is in the organizational chart, and what that downstream-to-upstream supervisory chain looks like"; (2) a question related to the actual role, such as "What was the time frame of your last budget process, and what steps did you undertake?" or "What tools are available to help tell the story of the data?"
What would you recommend as questions to ask at the beginning of the interview? Sometimes the interviewer asks, "do you have any questions before we get started?" I usually think the questions I have may get answered during the interview or I can ask relevant questions at the end. What types of questions would be suitable for asking at the beginning (that may or may not be different from the typical questions to ask at the end)? Maybe asking to reiterate/clarify the company or the role, before we have to answer their questions?
Yes, I've asked it. I have had the hesitations questions backfire too. I asked it in a multiple interviewer interview, and their answers were visibly adding doubt in the minds of the other interviewers. Asking that question at the end of the interview was a mistake because there was not time to respond. I'll try using the suggested alternative question and see if that fairs better. Thanks!
i’m in sales so i’ve asked “is there any reason you would hesitate to move me in to the next steps?” and this is key for sales roles. has always gotten me the job.
I got the job!!! I believe these questions were the best part of my interview. Thank you so so much for your tips
I asked if there was any questions or concerns I could clear up regarding my CV or anything we discussed today- they told me they had no concerns and that I exceeded expectations on most questions they asked, and they said although I dint have much industry experience (pharma, recent graduate) they gave me an interview based on volunteer experience with a charity that I had on my CV and that they were happy I was open to discussing it and that it made me stand out as a candidate.. it gave me alot to talk about which was grway.. but I also asked is there anything they'd recommend the successful candidate do in preparation for fulfilling the role and I think I shot myself in the foot with that one because they replied that they are hiring based on experience so they'd expect the person to already be prepared for the role lol.. I replied that I felt I had the experience for the role but had been familiarising myself with the companies code of conduct and QMS because I was aware they had an audit coming up soon and would like to be prepared for that.. anyway it mustn't haven't went too I bad because I'm just about to go for my 3rd interview with them today.. hopefully it's the final one !
this video is gold! you are a geniusssssssssss
The thing I have learned through my career, is I want a company that values it’s employees.
If no one will work for you, you won’t make money. Employees are the foundation of every company.
In what way, does the company show appreciation to its workers?
Yes, I've asked it.
It was the first face-to-face interview in a company, and the interviewer somewhat misunderstood or maybe he didn't want to disclose it.
And, I was called for a second interview.
I have asked the tricky question many times. If they don't select me because the question made them uncomfortable, then I KNOW that that is not the workplace for me. I am a change agent, and that signifies unease with what is not orthodox. But you really need to be in a position of privilege to take that risk. If they do answer, then I can address it. I word it a bit differently, though. In my experience, how it was ordered in the video (including the less risky version) will get a superficial answer of "nothing at this time." Rather, I frame it as comparing it to the pool of candidates, "I can imagine this is a very competitive pool of candidates; are their skill gaps or differences you have noticed [sometimes I add in between top candidates," I then ask subsequent questions to get to where I want them to go.
that seal of approval was true comic relief. I genuinely appreciate you!!
Much obliged for constantly sharing enlightening video clips!
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for the kind comment 🙏
It's my pleasure, have a miraculous week
I got the job!!!!!!! You’re the best!!!!!!
Sneaky Gremlin, LOL that was the best thing I have heard all day.
no i havent asked it! going to use it today!
I asked at the end of my interview, "Do you feel that technically competent to perform the duties of this position?" Personally for me, I am transitioning from an IT Sales job into IT Specialist role. I've spent the past two years earning IT certificates to help aid in the transition. Most interviewers see my sales experience and doubt my technical ability (which is crazy if they understood the certificates that are on my resume). So for me the question is used for them to verbally confirm that I'm technically a good fit or an opportunity for them to ask any additional question that I can then further clarify. REMEMBER! An interview from the business's stand point to hire someone to fill a deficentcy in their organization. So if I'm technically sound, then the only other thing I've got to concern myself with is the cultural fit.
I like "How do you see this successful in this role?" "What do you expect this person t accomplish in the first 90 days?" "Can you give me an example what week would be like?"
Great questions!
I use “how do you like the job and how long have you been here?
Yes, I've asked it
Yes, I've asked it.
"Seal of Approval" acted out 🤣🤣🤣
I loved the colour of the sweater. It does look very good on you. 😸
Superb !
Mam actually after a gap of 4 yrs from job employment due to family reasons now next month i will be out there in a new city for job hunt so it is making me anxious to prove myself & overthink about worst case scenario or being under prepared as i am not very sure what tasks would be up ahead for me to overcome so what should be done to believe in myself in uncertainty & tackle adversity head on ? Any best books suggestions? How can i prevent failures of any kind in my path ahead by acting strategically or something like that that would help me with mindset & also handling adversity in the best way possible to reach my desired outcome that is getting selected for the well paying job as hvac design engineer in Aec construction industry..
How do I explain having gaps in resumes
I came up with a question, but I don't know if I should reword it, scrap it, or keep it as is.
"If I'm not selected for this role, what are some things I would need to work on before re-applying?"
I suspect it might set a negative tone as if I'm already expecting to be turned down or just using this interview to get qualification standards straight from the horse's mouth and wasting everyone's time.
Hey! What is the appropriate number of questions to ask? The interviewer consistently inquires, "Do you have any questions for me?" I'm just so confused.
If possible ask as much as they have time for; use all of their time! It will come off as you are very interested in the role. But if you genuinely don't have any more, don't force it. They will know if you b.s. them or not also.
could someone please explain me, are there some real research based proofs of the correlation between what questions a candidate asks and how he/she performs on a role?
Yes sister , I have never asked the " Do you have any doubts...." question. And I strongly advise all the bruvs and siss out there not to ask it.
I've asked the hesitation question and I probably won't ask it again. It was awkward and the panel just played nice.
Stacey's questions came from Don Georgevich's Best Interview Questions on youtube... Give credit where credit is due.
Help me revamp my cv
I am told that we are interviewing some condidates this week, we will give you feedback next week. Meanwhile if you have any queries don't hesitate to write.
Please help how to deal with it
is why should I work for you a good question to ask?
No, I haven't asked the tricky question
Right on!
You talk a lot about companies. I am teaching... try that ❤
I like to ask what advice would you give to a new hire, or said another way, what do you wish you knew when you first started that you know now?
I genuinely think it's interesting to get someone's perspective about their experience and insight into what to possibly expect.
Question:
Instead of asking:
Is there anything about my skills and experience that you would like me to clarify?
How about:
What skills were experience would you like to see me develop in this role to best fulfill vision for it?
That way, even if you bomb the interview for any reason or just aren’t the right fit for the job, you will have further insights into the things that might improve your chances of landing a similar job.
First
not a manager, but the owner of my last job. Made me leave the place.
I actually used to ask: Do you have any initial thoughts about my application that you'd like to share? (cringe. Too pushy perhaps). But I'm gonna change that.
I have interviewed hundreds of time because I knew I hated them and I knew the more I did them the easy they would become. Also, I did this to understand what employers wanted for roles I wanted to be in but was not qualified for. This one question was always met with, “wow that’s a great question/best question I’ve been asked.” They are usually caught off guard and a lot of the time they don’t have an answer. This means they usually say, “you know what can I get back to you on that.” Just like that they have made me a promise to contact me again so I’m stuck in their head.
The question: If you took the last 100 hired employees, what would they say are the best parts of the jobs and what would they say needs improvement.
No, I haven't. I think it redirects their thinking to a negative place, and it does not sound confident.
Huh?
I DEFINITELY have been sabotaging all of my interviews by asking me do you have any hesitations about my qualifications question, because that has been on a list that I found online
Yes, I’ve asked it.
Yes, I’ve asked it.
Yes, I've asked it.
Nice! What was their response?
