    I once asked the same question during my very 1st interview in 2003 and I said " I workout out a lot and lift 350lbs in squat exercise". The interviewer gave me a puzzled look and said "what does it have to do with the job you're applying for? I was stunned and was unable to respond. Didn't get the job but it's funny whenever I remember it.

    Been watching your videos all day. Have a job interview for a Training Supervisor position tomorrow. Hope it goes well. I have learned so much from you that I’m confident I’ll ace it!!
    *Update*
    I 100% aced my interview, after about 2 hrs after the interview, I received an offer. I was expecting anywhere from 50-55k salary, they offered 60k!! I literally couldn’t believe it, and of course I accepted. Good luck to everyone and I hope you ace your interviews, just remember to be confident and be prepared!

    10:05 you are SO right about this point. Five years ago I applied for a job. In the advert for the job, it read that the company was looking for someone who was assertive! I loved that! I applied and got the job and have been there 5 years. Interestingly I am Receptionist!

    Hello, this is great advice. However, I'm about to go into a job interview where the company has posted several soft skills as requirements for the position (e.g., communication skills, positive attitude, etc.), so if I am going down the list of requirements, I would have to speak to each of those soft skills and demonstrate that I have them through my education and experience.
    Update: this was literally the first question they asked me. I went through the soft skills they required on the job listing, speaking to each one, and I got the job (Hiring Manager for an ESL company). Thank you for your excellent tutorials on preparing for job interviews.

  • @afterburn2600
    @afterburn2600 2 роки тому +28

    One key to remember is that if the interviewer does not agree with you on which strengths are important, that job may not be a good fit for you long term. This strategy is still good, but be aware that you have to figure out that your manager will or will not appreciate you long term.

I will be doing skillbridge program (essentially interning for the last 6 months of your career), but how to write a resume, or dress and conduct your self in an interview is a foreign world to me. The military has the TAPS program to help us transition, but they have turned it into a death by PowerPoint. Thanks for producing these videos.

    In my industry, 95% of the time, creative graphic design roles have a laundry list of disciplines that never actually touch the job itself. The job itself is not fully understood by the hiring teams and they create vague and redundant parameters to cover everything. Then when it comes to asking into the position…they have no idea what the job entails in real life, so I’ve found questions like…”Can you put a logo on a shoe?” Which is like asking a chef if they know how to boil water. My field is visual based and they look at my portfolio and can’t figure out what is my work? “It’s all my work.” Twenty years of experience and the work shows a wide variety of projects and you find the hiring managers cannot discern what they are seeing. So, their questions become non-performance based and almost offensive like “Can you put a logo on a shoe?”
