It was a panel interview and although it felt awkward I said, "I like the job, I think my job skills are a good match for the position and I hope you feel the same. Can I have the job?" All three interviewers cracked up laughing. Later that week, I got the offer. Thanks for your suggestion. I start Monday.
Awesome😊
Did you laugh along with them or did you keep a straight face?
Doesn't seem like a great prelude to salary negotiations.
I could’ve still negotiate it when they called me back to offer me the job, but I went with the first offer because I really needed a job and it was more money than ever made ever in my life
@@RodtheFrog For your particular situation, it sounds like it was a good strategy. But for a situation where a company is trying load up on cheap labor (yes it happens during recessions) I'm not sure it's a great approach. I interviewed during the 2009 crisis and companies were trying to get desperate people for cheap and some of the companies even told me they were doing that and they were very arrogant and pompous about it. I already had a job while interviewing and most of the jobs paid less than what I was already making because they were all low-balling people so once I saw what the companies were doing, I just stopped interviewing and waited for the recession to end.
In case you're desperately looking for advice and don't have time for a 13+ minute video like I was this morning. "So, when can I start?" is the five words in question.
Absolutely agree these are the better 5 words to use!!
Lex Scott.. Thank you!
I disagree. “When can i start” is presumptuous. You haven’t gotten past the part where you’re asking for the job. Perhaps watching the video could help?
Exactly
Yah thx
I'm an introvert so job interviews are my kryptonite. I'm a nice guy and hard worker but am just awful at verbalising it. Keep going all. God loves you.
I so felt this! Good luck to us exceptional introverted people! We totally rock and over exceed expectations! If we could just convey verbally. It’s ok we are so awesome! Those who take a little extra time with us surly love us !
Sorry, but there is a difference between not liking crowds and having trouble speaking to strangers. Actual introverts will thank you to find a better term to describe your perceived disability.
@@PrettylionZion Yeah.... you're not "over exceeding" anything, besides the number of words you've wasted to get your point across.
@@johnd5398 yeh you do have a point john. To elaborate I guess I should say I tend to lean towards anxious introspective introversion. So while it isn't predominantly introversion by itself that I find hard being myself around strangers, it can play a role. As for comment...ever heard of "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar"? Just sayn😉
same here, interviews can't tell our true value, it sometimes screen out those capable and honest people, and sometimes those dishonest yet good at speaking get the job.
I just found this video but wanted to say:
I went through school, took many tests, had to go through 5 different interviews with 4 different supervisors at each interview to get a job at a Chevron refinery. The coveted job is high paying so I worked very hard to get to the interview. During the last of the 5 interview's they asked me if I had any questions for them, I said yes, can I please have the job? I am here to work hard so I can put my children through college and build a retirement for myself. (I mentioned a few other things and said: thank you for your consideration, shook each one of their hands and also thanked each one for their time.)
I GOT THE JOB OUT OF OVER 3000 APPLICANTS.
It works!!!! Just ask for the job. :)
that is an amazing story. thank you so much for sharing. I hope that those who are skeptical of asking will find the strength and courage to be like you.
I’m in a similar situation with Honeywell over 500 applicants gonna give this a try. I’m a very personable person with a gift of gab if you will. I’m a team player looking to transition from the military world to a civilian career. I feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to even interview for the job. I’m really happy I came across his channel. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW CAREER WISH YOU THE BEST!
HAHA How that happen? I was told this is a very competitive place, we will contact you. NO CONTACT STILL!!! Hook me up!! I want to work for Cheveron, I got engineering experience
@@zakattack4274 Zac. Did you get the job?
@@chevychick537 absolutely I’ve got my NRC security clearance I start June 26 35 an hour top out at 45. Very fortunate! After an online interview then a phone interview then 2 panel interviews I made it! I work at the only Uranium Hexafluoride plant in the United States as a Nuclear Chemical Operator.
I did an interview in the UK just after seeing this video, and at the end, I asked for the job, the interviewer loved it, and said he'll push me through. I got the job :) Thanks
That is so awesome! Especially in the UK, where everyone prides themselves on politeness.
Always ask for what you want! You will get it. Wise words from my father...thanks dad!
Proud child ! 😊
Wow! I've been saying "So when do I start?" for the past decade for jobs I really wanted. I was hired on all of the ones I asked the question. I never correlated that until today.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I got hired working from home using your techniques, along with asking if I could have the job at the end of the virtual interview. The interviewer was so impressed with me asking for the job, that she emailed my offer letter right after speaking with me. THANKS! 🤗❤
Covid killed my last job so I was back out hunting. Applied for a job I thought I would never even get called for. During the first interview the manager asked why should you get this job before any of the other applicants. I said because I will show up every day and on time. Apparently that struck a nerve because I got a call back only two days later and in that interview was offered the job. I work in a field I've never worked in before. A very secure position with good pay.
wow， just because you said you will show up every day? Maybe because other personalities?
@@Jennywang1209 yes, that is what my manager told me. She said that was the key reason for hiring me. They wanted reliable staff.
@@blkequus Sometimes someone who is more reliable is better than someone with more qualifications.
I'm a trainer at work. Operating semi's
And specialty trailers in and out of railroads and heavy industrial plants.
You need to already know how to drive a truck. I'll teach you the rest. Paperwork abounds in my field. One load of Kosher Food Grade Hazmat. Could have 2 inch's of paperwork with it.
So many refuse to let me show them the equipment. Or paperwork They say. When do I drive and why do I need to know this. Or a better one night before
I'll say truck checkin is at 3 am the load has a 7 am appointment 3 hours away.
We get 10 hrs off between shifts. 1/2 are a no-show.
I fire those like that all the time.
Covid can't kill jobs. Government does.
I listened to a bunch of your videos before my last interview and I did MUCH better than I had during the past year of unemployment. I’m expecting to hear I got into the next round next week. If that comes true I’m definitely doing this. I want to share that I used the question “imagining me in this position what would you expect me to accomplish in the first six months in the job?” The panel LOVED the question and took about ten minutes to answer it. One of the panelists at the end said that he would welcome working with me. And then after my thank you note he said he welcomed my application. That’s never happened to me before.
I love the imagining question, but nobody does it... sounds like they really imagined you in the role and saw good things😄
Dude👍 good job!
Thank you for sharing that awesome
Betsy, did you get one of the jobs? I'm hoping you did!
Lll
I wanted to say thank you for getting me through my 4 interviews!! I interviewed with a supervisor, Manager, Director and Senior Director!! I was competing against another candidate that was more qualified and had a certificate that I did not have. I smiled throughout, I was energetic, I answered all the questions with your advices, and kept speaking as I was already in the role. I was told in secret that the other candidate was way more qualified and the reason they chose me was because I was very personable and they could see me fit in in their team!! I'm definitely excited to start my new role and after knowing the why, I'm coming in with more excitement to be myself because they liked me for me! I just have to learn their job process. Thank you so much!!! I've forwarded your videos to my 18 year old sister who has never worked in her life! I hope she can find the great value you give us all!!! If you're job hunting or officially interviewing, I'm sending you nothing but great vibes! You got this!! Happy holidays!
Congratulations on your new role 🎉
They likely picked you 'cause without qualifications or experience, the company knows you'll accept a lower pay rate than the industry standard & less likely you'll ask for a raise anytime soon (qualified candidates knows to ask after 6 months or can easily leave taking their qualifications to another company if not satisfied).
I should know 'cause I've been in HR for 20 plus years & the more eager a candidate willing to learn on the job without formal educational background or experience, the better chance of getting the job offer since these (green) canadates are seen as more likely to accept a lower salary, be more loyal & (sorry to say) easier to manipulate.
We pass up qualified candidates, not because we didn't see them as a good fit, but because they knew with their experience & qualifications, their self-worth & know how much they should be earning.
Sorry, but in 99% of the time, it comes down to the bottom line & who is willing to work the hardest with the least amount of pay.
Companies likes to have the upper hand & employees who see them as giving them a chance not the other way around, the employee bringing skills & value to the company.
It also helps to be good-looking. Just remember, your job is not your friend nor your co-workers.
You would be surprised how many employees throws other colleagues under the bus when it comes down to the job.
Be professional, always know your self-worth, move up early into your employment (the longer you stay in a position, the more likely you will be passed up for promotions, don't be shy to ask for a raise especially after a performance review, if no review, ask for one after 6 months...if denied, start seeking employment elsewhere) & never put your complete trust in your employer....you are just a number with an expiry date just make sure you get noticed early on & ignore jealous colleagues that will try to find ways to block you from getting promoted.
Never ever complain to your colleagues (they are not your friend & some will report you), manager or HR, you'll be seen as a disgruntled employee that will be likely blacklisted for promotions & most likely the first to be let go if need be.
If you are not happy, seek employment elsewhere.....your job will not be tailored to you, but no company owns you even if they think they do.
Many don't care about their employees & gets enjoyment making their employees' life as miserable as possible knowing they sign their paychecks.
Many don't care about you, but how much money you are making for them.
Good luck👍
so true, being personable and relational is key
Love this so much Wendy!!! Just had my interview and I’m believing the same thing for a promotion. Congrats on your role !!
@@juki3451 wow! That's all I can say to you, wow! But so NOT TRUE! I GOT A JOB THAT OTHER CANIDATES WERE MORE QUALIFIED FOR, GOT THE JOB WITH NOT JUST LESS EXPERIENCE, BUT DIDNT HAVE AS MUCH QUAILIFICATIONS AS OTHERS. MADE JUST WHAT THEY INITIALLY offered all of us!
4:50
I can’t believe that actually worked, I had a 90 minute interview the scheduled time was 60 minutes at the end I said after discussing about most of the job details at the end I said after a moment of thinking was “I made my decision, I want to work here when can I start.” They immediately we’re laughing, I was still confident and gave me a tour around the office.
A week later I got the offer letter in writing.
The interview was for a associate civil engineering position and during the interview it was derailed multiple times, why are talking about scuba diving instead of engineering so I had to steer the conversation back to Engineering side. I didn’t sleep before the interview, was completely sleep deprived and the interview was somewhat awkward at first then went better later on. It felt like a conversation than an interview.
Pro tip: Be genuine and confident about saying those words.
Thank you
Don, I'm 54 years old and retrained for a new career after continual layoffs in the aviation sector.
I watched many of your videos, and in an interview with a company I really liked, said: "Given what I've heard and read about the company, and based on this meeting, I want to make it clear that I want to work with you; you are my first choice."
I got the job.
congrats!
That's a great way to put it, David! Thanks for sharing.
I'm 36 & work in hospitality management. I had my hours cut & I've been laid off during the pandemic so I found your story rather inspiring 🙌
Most comments are missing the point, he said only ask for the job when you feel there a connection, a good vibe that the interviewer liked you.
“Can I get the job?” Def works. In my case I asked instead, “can I get the 2nd interview?”. I was interviewed by a panel with 5 interviewers. Once I asked the question in a jokingly but serious way, they all chuckled saying they love that I asked. That same day 3 hours later, I was offered the second interview! Wish Me luck!
Good luck in all of your future endeavors!!!!
@@wonderwoman1700 thank you
@@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii thanks for asking, still waiting to hear something. My second interview was Aug 8. Tomorrow will make a week.
@@indigohelps7715 any updates did you get the job?
My closing statement was always " if this job is open to anyone,I'd like to have it,I hope you consider me for this position".. and it worked..
nicely done.
ya how long can you keep tbis job?
Hi Don, thank you for all your content. As a career changer who hasn’t had to interview in 4 years, it has been a tremendous help. I wanted to let you know that this worked for me! I had my final interview with the president of the organization on Friday. My last question was asking for the job. He chuckled and let me know that I was the last interviewer and they’d get back to me within a week. On Monday I got the job offer! After being on pins and needles throughout this 2 month interviewing process, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I’m so glad I am on your email list because I received an email a day before my interview with this helpful tip. I can’t thank you enough!
After a decent in-person interview back in 2007, as I was shaking the interviewers' hands I said, "So, when can I start." I agree with that statement. They would have hired me on the spot but had to go through the right "channels" to make it happen. Great advice!
thanks for sharing that story - I think we've all felt that way...
"So when can I start?" I really like that. It asserts that you feel you're a good fit for the job, confidence, yet still has that necessary level of respect.
Wish this worked - I always have at least a 4 week notice, so it would just depend on when I quit lol.
I like this better "So, when can I start?" It's lighter
@@TechnoMageB5 I've tried that technique at 6 different employers. It worked 5 times out of the 6 times. Highly recommended. Also, I tried this technique as it's quite similar; I asked the employer after working my way through the interview and feeling them out I said, "would you like for me to give my current employer a proper 2 week notice?" That was successful as well
I've been watching a lot of videos that you've done and it really helped me and with your help I've found the job been there a week and a half and that time I've learned a lot even got a forklift license thank you for all the help.
I was out of work for almost 2 years so it's been hard to get back into a working state but I'm improving everyday I work with two good guys and patient with me
Thank You!!! It worked!!! I had an interview today and at the end when they asked if I had any questions I said the 5 magic words. They laughed showed me around and 3 hours later I had an offer e-mail!!!
I love that someone such as yourself made a video for this. It's not complicated by any means, but I think people build it up more than it should be. Anyone can wow the interviewer during their time, but having that confidence is usually what edges out your interview over the others.
I've been interviewing the last few weeks and I can wholeheartedly say this works people. Of course I did my homework prior and did what was needed to put forth an amazing interview, but in all of them I'd close with thanking them for their time, touching back on small buzz words to keep me in mind with my qualities and so on, and then I'd end it with "So, when can I start?" I might not have had immediate responses of you're hired, but no joke, 2 of the 3 times I got a call back with an offer on my drive home!
Anyway, I wish all of you the best of luck landing that job you've always wanted :-)
2 years ago, I was selected for the current job position I am in. I followed your advice to a 't.' I am currently looking for the next step to my ultimate job in IT. Thanks for the great content.
As I was waiting for the process of going through the channels awaiting for background checks and results of the personality test, I returned in person to check on the process several times. I told them okay i will not go on other interviews because I chose you. I have been there for 6 years and love it
Well said Don, this man just oozes wisdom. I'm a go getter type of person I've had many opportunities turn me away.. I can whole heartily say this, I was so proactive 10 doors closed 1 opened that's all I needed. Speak up for yourselves folks, it's okay to tell the world what you want.
nicely said
Hey Don, I was offered a dream job after trying your technique! I closed two interviews with a closing statement and then I asked for the job! It works! Your the best! Thank you!
I have an interview tomorrow and youtube recommended this to me. I hope I do well and I will surely use these tips. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Update: I got the job and now I'm on my first week of training.. Really a great way to start this new year.. 😊
I hope you got the job and it is a good one 🙂
Did you get it?? Hope you did!
Congratulations, and how is the gig going so far?
Your videos are amazing help. I was so overprepaired from my interview. Was a walk in the park. Even all the "hard questions" .I got the Job i wanted on the first try. Brilliant stuff. The 30 question video aswell. Great work Sir!
Congrats!
I can honestly say this is how I got my last maintenance job. The operations manager and I just hit it off while taking a tour of the plant. I was really excited to work on the equipment and machines on the production line. He showed me a problem they were having, that I knew I could solve quickly, and said I'll be in on Monday with my tools to fix this. I left this interview with all of the new hire paperwork.
I interviewed for a job at General Electric with two managers. They asked their questions, I took the math test,and read the blue print for them. They asked if I had any questions for them, and I of course said yes, my question was “when do I start” They smiled and said when can you start? I started 2 weeks later after giving a two weeks notice to my former employer!
I am interviewing with DHS for a contracting specialist program... I'm so glad I found your channel, it has definitely given more confidence!
It works! I saw a couple of your videos yesterday and then went to an interview today. I was more authentic than I might have been (thanks to your tip); I took initiative speaking "their" language (felt risky but they ate it up); and at the end, knowing we had great rapport, I actually said, "I want this job." They were briefly taken aback and then lit up: they bent over backwards holding my hands to be onboarded...getting started in a job in which I'm projected to earn four times(!) my previous income as a poker dealer!
Thank you for what you do. I'm 66 and was laid off from my IT job after 21 years at the end of July. I watched hours of your videos (and those of others) and worked my butt off and started my new job in early September. So a one-month forced vacation. The new job is a lot harder, not as comfortable, but it is an opportunity and I'm taking it. Anyway, your videos are encouraging, helpful, insightful, and very much needed for those of us who need another shot at getting a job. A few days after the second interview for this job they made an offer. I had already scheduled a third interview later that day with a different company. This one seemed like a better fit even though the pay is a bit lower. I called the other people and scrubbed the third interview. No regrets. By the way, I plan to retire a month after I die if I can fit it into my schedule.
glad to be here for you, my friend.
66. spend the money.
A month after you die? Not sure if that's a typo or a, funny statement. I worked in I.T. for 34 years. 22 at the place where i was laid off. Frankly they could've fired me way before that. I had Extreme burnout and was not the best employee even though I wish i was. I didn't give up but sometimes it seemed like quitting with notice would have been the more correct thing to do. But I had to keep doing my best and showing up for my kids That was 3 years ago and I have used my time since then for a lot of good things. Mostly supporting people by using my time to be helpful and care giving and also I put getting my rest and regrouping first.
During my 34 years of employment I worked at least 40 hours a week and sonetimes 2 or 3 jobs and had no real vacation. Raised my children and maintained a home almost completely on my own.
For me, in 2019, when I was laid off i decided to take my retirement out of the middle.
When I go back to work, I'm working until I die unless I get too old to work. Taking my family history into consideration, my chances of getting old are slim. It was important to me to rest up to be the best I can be in my next employment. Also to know what its like to not have to punch a clock for more tha 2 days at a time before I die. I'm set. I've retired and returned from my rest. I am ready to go back to work.
The world has changed so much since 2019, I'm wanting to make a more positive contribution to the world on part 2 of my life. I wonder if it will be possible to get another I.T.position and if I can do better than i did before.
More importantly than money is being a valuable asset. I hope I get the chance.
Dear Don, I wanted to thank you for your videos. I went through a 4 stage process interview and your videos have helped me a lot. I got the offer and contract two days ago. You have helped me preparing, anticipate questions, be confident
Thank you so much 🙏
This is mind blowing. Thank you I was raised Canadian and we were always told to be polite, not assertive. But this makes sense if you really want something bad enough, you’d want enough to ask for it.
whose to say it's not being polite? After all, it's just another way of saying, "I'd like to help you"
Thank you Don for helping me prepare for my claims manager interview! It went amazingly well and I expect good news from them sometime next week. *I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO BINGE WATCH HIS VIDEOS PRIOR TO AN INTERVIEW*
So I just had a really good interview last week, felt good at the end, she asked if I had any questions and with enthusiasm asked “ YA! Can I have this job?!? Semi jokingly of course, and I got a call back within the hour for a 3rd interview. It was pretty funny and it worked.
Also wanted to thank you for your tips it was very helpful
Excellent material, Don. I'm a Career Advisor at a university, and makes my job easier. So keep it coming!
Excellent thanks for this great video and also the free e-book. I watched it last night and also watched the 16 minute video about your $47 program and took a lot of notes. I prepared a 1 page sheet to get me the job today. Amazing material. I've had many jobs over many decades and your material has some real good stuff about interviews.
My 16yr daughter and I will be watching this video together, she's job hunting now. Thank you so much for your service! I took a job interviewing class years ago and I learned more in 5 minutes of this video than I did in a whole day. You have the Nuance for this...
Has she gotten a job
I got hired to work for an insurance company today without a degree and only prior retail experience thanks to your videos! Love this content! lol
I just wanted to say one thing: You've solutions for all the questions that I had in my mind before going into an interview
SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU SIR
Folks, don’t ever ask “can I get the job”. They will most likely say, “we will get back to you” and never hear from them again
you want to say, "can I have the job" or "when can I start"
I love you Don! These videos put a smile on my face and give me hope. This is amazing advice and I love your analogies of going in a first date. I have been self employed for most of my working experience and have failed at all of my interviews, but I also know that failure is the greatest teacher. I will commit to bettering myself with vids like yours!
So glad!
In watching these videos I realize that before I got my last job that I loved I watched similar videos to freshen myself up and my skills. These videos really help me have a better understanding of how to communicate my skills to potential employers.
That is awesome!
Don, I"m new to your channel. I have an interview (phone screening) on Tuesday. I already feel more comfortable about it after having watched 3 of your videos. Thanks! And by the way: you have great authenticity and eye contact. (Also, thanks for using almost no "ummmmm" or "uhhhhhh" in your presentations.) I especially like your phrase, "in rapport with the person."
Welcome to the channel. Good luck on your interview. You can do it!
I just wanted to say thank you for your advice . I lost my 17 year job a month ago , it was hard for me because I always had a great performance and the last year all I heard was blaming from management for everything from very silly things to things that other people was responsible . I ended up getting fired for performance . But a week ago I started looking for jobs that have something close to my background in retail and merchandising . 17 years it’s a long time and scary to find something after getting fired. Yesterday I got a call for interview and I didn’t know how to prepare for it . Desperate I started looking for videos luckily i found yours . I got hired on the spot . Main question was tell me about yourself ? I nailed it!! Thank you so much for the advice again .
many thanks. so glad I could be here for you.
Don I used the those words at my interview and I got the job offer today! Thank you so much!!
Wow, I never thought this was possible! I've had those moments! The last one the recruiter touched based with me the next day. I told him I would be surprised if they didn't offer me the job. They told me they would let me know in a week. He called same day and confirmed!
It's funny 🤣 I did it too. I said 'Can I work here?' Then, I received their training schedule. A full time job, average paid, but it's helped me through the pandemic for paying my bills. Still working now 😁
That is awesome!
My first time seeing your video and you are absolutely correct. I interviewed for a job I didn’t even want but the interviewer was nice. I got in sync with her and she told me she liked my spunk and seriousness for this case management position. I was interviewing for a lower position and she offered me the better position more money etc. ingot the job. Your right.
many thanks
This guy is the GOAT! I followed some of advice from his videos and got a great job and a nice promotion!
I've been saying for years that the analogy of job interviewing and dating is an absolutely perfect one and always holds up 🙂 In the age of dating apps (resumes) it is more true than ever
I’ve had interviewees ask me “Is there anything that concerns you about offering me the job?” This has worked quite well. At the very least, I provided feedback about answers I didn’t like. it gave them the chance to better explain or understand why they’re not a good fit for the position.
I wish I had asked that question in my phone interview...I didnt get the job and have no idea why...t was with Walmart and I don't know anyone that failed an interview at Walmart..it has really made me feel terrible about myself
@@raintree3383 Don’t let it get you down. Trust me I know the feeling especially when you never get an explanation. To be honest it could’ve been something as trivial as availability or they had already had a candidate picked but had to go through the rest of the scheduled interviews anyway.
Just take it as a learning experience and use it to help you in your next interview
Rain tree, I agree with Jacob. Even with teachers shortages, I got a lot of interviews, I watched other videos, and felt many of the interviews went well. But never got an offer. It was discouraging but now know that lots of somewhat random things can happen that results in no job offer and/or no follow up communication after an interview than one might think. Keep your head up, keep practicing, watching videos, researching relevant companies. Eventually I used these tips and my interviews improved resulting in several job offers out of 10-15 interviews.

The only problem I would see is that many interviewers will lie if you ask something like that. I've asked something very similar, but they told me they didn't have concerns.
Excellent advice! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
I swear with my techniques they get a job in 30 seconds.
Just pure excellent advice and clear precise presentation! Thank you!
Customer Service and Sales training in person and taking an exam and receiving a certificate will help you get the job, because that certification goes on your resume. I received the certificate and I was hired before by Goodwill for the trainee position before I received the certification. And I also learned a lot during the Customer Service and Sales training and that is important and I showed up everyday of the training and I was on time, I was punctual. I am very good at being punctual and answering why I want a job.
Great stuff! I have a job interview tomorrow and I will definitely apply this with confidence.
You can do it!
did you get the job?
Did you get the job?
Truly amazing words, Don! I appreciate your consideration to share your absolute valuable thoughts with people 'out there'
I appreciate that!
I have an interview in 15 minutes, and youtube recommended this to me. I hope I do well and I will surely use these tips. Thank you for this wonderful video.
I've never interviewed, and not been offered the position. My advice is
1. Have a great, and truthful, CV.
2. Dress well
3. Be confident
4. Know your value
5. Research the company
Hi Don. Excellent content. Really appreciated. God bless you!
Thanks, you too!
@@DonGeorgevich Thank you sir! I stumbled onto it, and it's really fantastic. Only watched a few videos so far. So kind of you to be sharing this wisdom!
Oooh such good advice. I remember I once said, "Great interview hey? Can I sign the contract now? I'll start tomorrow." I got the job there and then.
Love these books / videos where they dance around the issue and delay for ages. Very 1980s self-help.
I NEVER thought of doing this because I'd expect this response: *Laughs* Thank you for your enthusiasm yet we still have candidates to interview. I guess I'll just go in for the kiss. LOL
Listen to this man! You'll land the job offer! 👍♥️
I appreciate that!
True 👍
He's giving me pointers here and there.. I'm listening and taking notes now!
Hi Mr. Georgevich, thanks for the tips, I used them and landed my dream job!
Thank you. This is my first video of yours I clicked. The video and comment section reminded me of how assertive I was back in the day. I have healed enough trauma that I'm recognizing and remembering what made me - me.
You are so welcome
I have an interview this week, and if things go good, I will try this. My bigger. Concern is asking for salary. I just started watching your videos, but good stuff. Appreciate what your doing. Thanks alot.
Best of luck!
I remember in the interview for my current job I said jokingly "I can start as early as tomorrow!" when they asked when the earliest I'm available is, and I ended up getting it and started 2 days later. My coworkers still say it's good to finally have a new person who didn't quit shortly after starting, haha. It also helps they were fairly desperate for staff it seems, I've seen 5-6 people come and go since I started.
Good luck with that. Sounds like a toxic environment if people don't want to stay and poor management.
Don, I have been watching for about 4 years. You are really turning it up a notch. Thank you.
4 years! I hope you have not been looking for a job for four years 😉 Glad you're still with me...
I learned how to get jobs by using sales techniques. I have definitely asked for jobs in interviews and it definitely seems to work.
Thanks Don! Does the question should be asked after you have talked about salary? I want to show interest in the job but I also want to get payed fairly.

This is great content!
My favorite job interview coach!
Hello Don, your videos have been very helpful and insightful and I have used them in my interview process with much success.
I lost my job recently and an forced to take up a position at an entry level job. The inteviewer asked me why I wanted to join this position after having over a decade of experience. I could not think of an answer. Please advise what I can say.
Hey Don, your videos are full of great information. Question, I always feel uncomfortable about glancing at my notes or jotting information down, almost like I would be insulting the interviewer. But from watching and listening to you make reference to it quite often. Is it just me, just do it and I can do this even in zoom/video interviews? Thanks again.
Yes, absolutely
This is so true, I never ask for the job at the end of the interview. I’m going to try it
your videos were the #1 thing I needed to fill in the gaps
This makes so much sense I said this for the first time for my current job over Teams. The interview went so Good we stopped taking about the interview and started talking cracking jokes laughing. The HR and the previous person in the position said the search is over but politics have to make us wait till Tuesday. Hahaha
glad to hear it... and good luck
@@DonGeorgevich thank you have been working there a few months now and basically turned into a rockstar.
The way I got a job I really wanted, which I am in now, was when I interviewed, I would constantly ask what the next step was. This was for a management position. After the second interview, I told them I really wanted the job. I had also interviewed for a plan B job. I got the offer from the plan B job before the position I wanted. I called the interviewer and said I have an offer on the table, but this position is what I really want. They hired me.
congrats
This channel is full of great information. Interviewing is a skill all in it's own.
many thanks
Thanks Don, I followed your guide to prepare my 2nd interview, and I got the job on same day, very much appreciate your valuable sharing, thank you.
Best of luck!
30-40% of the time you get the job every time!
I’m loving ALL YOUR content and have another first interview in a few hours. Thank you so much ! You’re an excellent speaker and teacher.
Awesome! Thank you! and good luck on your interview
agree
"30-40% of the time you get the job every time! " Uh... WHAT? Is it 30 - 40% of the time, or is it EVERY time? Huh?

Ask the maker of the video. You should also know when somebody else is being funny, not serious. I was as pointing out humor of the statement without making fun of someone much more skilled than myself. Be kind to people without trying to belittle people. .
"Can I have the job?" LOL, it's SO bloody simple!
Us humans tend to over-complicate things for ourselves without reason, be it making unnecessary complex washing machines or just not asking simple questions when needed (something I've done TOO many times over).
I've had a few job rejections these past few months and actually gave up on a job position even when I managed to pass the interview with flying colours (I honestly felt I couldn't keep up with physical aspect of the job).
Because of these failures, I'm stuck in a rut and feeling down on myself due to lack of personal progress. I don't know how to motivate myself when I'm currently lacking basic skills (communication has been the number 1 problem for years, I've lost the ability to forge relationships with people).
I'm in my 30s and still never had a full-time job. To be honest, I'm kinda scared about it... I know I can't carry on like this (my funds are running down) but I'm quite nervous about what to do.
you got this, build brick by brick day by day, don't think about the wall
Hey Don I'm in Cleveland OH as well and work for 1 of the 3 largest companies in Northeast OH. Applying for my first director position and will definitely do this in the interview with the hiring Business Leader. Thank You
This is spot on - I was a manager of consulting services at a boutique consulting firm and recommended that approach to my consultants - it worked for me and I think it made the difference for some of my applicants - key was hitting it off with the interviewer. For me one memorable situation was where I sat down with the hiring manager and at the beginning of the interview I noticed a picture of the manager with his motorcycle - I mentioned it and noted that I rode too and we had a long conversation about riding... We had a nice conversation and at the end I commented that I thought that I was well suited for the requirements of the position and that I would be excited to work with him - he responded with the question regarding my ability to do the job and I responded positively and asked him for the opportunity to prove myself - end of story I started the job a week later and was highly successful in the position.
glad to hear it.
I worked with a woman who moved to New York City to be an artist. It was her dream and she has just enough money to land a job within a month. If she didn’t get a job she would have to move back to her hometown. It got down to the final day and no one had hired her. The people she was meeting were brash and to the point. She was desperate and had nothing to lose so she went into a bookstore and asked the owner if he was hiring. He was giving her a bit of a runaround so she yelled at him, “I need a f*cking job! Are you going to hire me or not?! He handed her a plié of books and yelled back, “Take those f*cking books back to that f*cking bookshelf shelf and stack them! You’re f*cking hired.”
🤣🤣🤣 Good ole NYC!
Working up to this close is essential and it requires a strong performance during the interview process itself. I like to ask them what they are looking for. They will usually give you three or four characteristics. Now you know what they want and have ammunition. Later address each one with qualified examples of how you meet their criteria. This not only demonstrates your suitability but also shows you are listening. Then close.
I used the phrase "If you have the work, _I'll do it."_ It was at the end with the senior manager who asked to see me after the two engineers I started the interview with. It might not be the exact verbiage for every interview but I'm in a stereotypically 'manly' (for lack of a better term) Field Engineer position. I got a GREAT offer... great idea, Don.
Accidently I stumbled upon this interview. Thank you so much. It's valuable technique that signifies confidence and proactiveness of the candidate.
Glad it was helpful!
Or you can say "How soon can I start?". It's kinda effective based on my experience. This question/statement shows your interest/positive mindset that you can do the job.
absolutely, but you need to be in rapport with them and you need to feel that they feel the same way. make sense?
I have said "How soon can I start?" It has not worked for me. I guess the employer and I were not on the same page.
@@r.m.7138 me too.
Lol, I think that would be disqualifying... Unless it's, like, a job at a bakery or something.
Brilliant!
Hello Don,
I just discovered your channel. My first video of yours, too. Two interviews are scheduled today. Will definitely shoot my shot with the five words you suggested. Will report with the results. Yesterday, I landed a job offer within fifteen minutes. Mentioning my career goals was a success. At the end of the telephone interview, I said, “I’m ready to work.” The recruiting agent expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to have me on board. He offered me the highest amount from the company’s pay scale. I was stunned, but I didn’t let him know that. Will subscribe to your channel now. Thank you, Don.
best of luck to you
@@DonGeorgevich Thank you, Don. I’m new here and I feel like I already know you.
Update: Three interviews were lined up today. First one offered me the job before I could say those five magic words. Thank God. However, an opportunity to follow advice from another one of your videos came into play. Golden. For the first time in an interview, I negotiated my salary. My confidence was at another level.
The job description was beyond anything the other two companies offered.
Canceling the following two interviews was a bit tricky. Walked along unknown territory. My goal was to be professional and not burn any bridges. Wrote a thank you for the opportunity they presented message. Also, a few other statements to ensure an open door for employment if necessary in the future.
Two companies, including yesterday’s interview, congratulated me. The other, no response at the moment.
THANK YOU for sharing your expertise in interview etiquette. Am glad I found you and your channel. 🙌
Such a soft spoken confidence , subscribed
Wow..Very Insightful.. "Just Ask for the Job " !!!
You'll reach higher levels when you reach further than your current grasp 🤗
The only thing that can happen is you don't get the job, you lose nothing.
Good luck everyone! ❤
Great video Don. How would you suggest making a statement like this when you know there are other interviewees after you? I'll be interviewing for a manufacturing supervision role and I already know they have 4 slots, but are interviewing about 20 people. If you're timeslot is early in the day, how do you gracefully make a statement like this?
like i said, you must be in rapport with your interviewer and they must feel you are right for the job before you can go in for the close.
I’m going thru two interviews right now and I will definitely try this when I get to the final stage.
Great question. And it gives you more ammo for your closing statement. Telling them you're on the same page as them with what they expect in detail out of their employee in the next 6 months is bound to set you apart.
exactly.
I did this and didn't get the job, but I agree it doesn't hurt to ask for the job on the spot. Normally they tell me that they're interviewing several candidates and that they'll make a decision shortly. But I agree it shows a level of eagerness that they find favorable.
Don’t ask “can I have the job?!” It’s so unprofessional. Ask how soon do you need the position filled, and express your interest that way!!! Soooooo unprofessional to ask can I have the job so tacky
