Just found this channel today. I don't understand why she isn't more popular. Her advice is solid!
Thanks for watching and tell your friends!
Let's help her by forwarding/sharing this video with our friends who will also be helped.
She isn't more popular because intuitive ppl can see thru redundancy and bad advice. This is not good career advice she's giving. She's just stating the obvious, peddling Amazon products and talking out of the side of her neck. I took her advice, and it did not work for me. I'm going back to my old way of doing things. People who know what they are talking about become solid in the community and popular. When you don't know what you are talking about or something doesn't work, you remain unpopular.
Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
If you're young and new to the game or have time, have someone drive you to the place a day beforehand. You'll know exactly where to go, and won't have to wing it the first time.
When she said “Bring copies of your resume” it was a few hours before my interview and I didn’t realize that I needed to bring that. Thank you 😂
Did you get the job?
Go to the location at least a day before the interview. Scout out parking, etc. Find out how long it takes, what's the best route. Don't leave it until the day of the interview.
Yes to all of this!
Great suggestion!
I’ve been interviewing for the past two weeks and am so exhausted, overwhelmed and anxious from the process!! Your videos have been a HUGE help to me and have helped me better focus and prepare. You have simplified the process and allowed me to slow down and think!!! Your fantastic!! Thank you!!! 😊
You are a savior! I followed all your tips in my recent interview , I did get the offer but what is more important is I felt so confident throughout the interview. It went like a breeze! I could see I made the best possible first impression on the panel and I could sense they wanted me no matter what. Thanking you sooooooo much!
Thanks Cass. I was needing a padfolio and resume paper. You did me a solid adding the link. 😎
I always learn something from these videos, so thank you!!
I really like her! She is really honest and direct!
Very informative. Being the unorganized person that I am your vids have pushed me to prepare more in the days leading up to the interview and I've found they are less stressful because of that. Allows me to be more personable... calm even, which allows me to just be myself.
Love, love these videos! The information is so helpful and has helped me tremendously in the interview process. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing these tips
I just found her video tonight. She's great.
I am almost through binging her interview videos... They are SO helpful. I am researching information for my first job and watching different videos about interviews and her videos really help calm nerves and make me feel a lot better about it
Very helpful!
Thank you so much for these videos! They are super helpful. As a professional, providing us advice, do you suggest the ivory color for resume paper, versus plain white?
Thank you in advance, Danielle
Thank you so much
Thank you :) it helped :D
I have an interview next week and your videos are super helpful I really to thank you so much
Thanks for watching
Thank you I interview a lot over the phone but I have my first in person interview in the last three years. I planned on bringing my resume but now I will definitely have the resume paper! Thank you again for the advice.
I will be looking more at your videos as I have an interview on Wednesday. So as to be prepared for my interview.
Good luck!
Hey dawn did u get the job?
Just to add on the parking situation, scout the area if possible. We don’t realize that there are areas of our towns that we rarely go to & are unfamiliar with. I moved to OKC almost 5 years ago & went downtown for the 4th time just the other day. I’ve never had business there, so I had no reason to go.
And make sure your printer has plenty of ink & is functioning properly. I rarely use mine, the ink dried on the nozzles & gave me bad printouts. Luckily I had time to stop at FedEx, but you just never know.
Hi, i loved your videos, they are GOLD! i have actually made some of the mistakes you mentioned in your other video, i wish i new it before failing an interview...
I have a question for you, i'm in the middle of my master in business, and it take up one day of my week (although most of the courses don't have mandatory attendance), the question is - how do i mention about it in the interview without scaring them off?
Thank you.
Just sad i didnt get to watch this video before my interview. Blame the youtube algorithm.. always bring extra copies of your resume! Or any documents you think they might want. It is mostly online applicatio so the interviewers usually have with them but you never know. Also i just typed some of expected questions and my answers and sent it to my email so i can review it just before going to the interview. And dont forget breath mints! Lol
I was going to bring my hairbrush, but then I remembered I'm bald
I- this made me chuckle ty I’m very nervous lol, this helped
@@jennieamador5294 did you get the job..?
@@CJRoyalOfficial yes ma’am the first 2 jobs I’ve gotten I got on the spot 😌💅 just be yourself and like outgoing talk about shit yk ? They want outgoing people cus they think you’ll be great with customers
@@jennieamador5294 maam..? XD
I've never been offered a drink at an interview. Just saying. 😁 💜 Allp the other tips I totally agree with, including bringing a drink with you. 😁 💜
I use the cardstock from FedEx. People LOVE it, and it stands out.
Hi Cassandra, Your videos are excellent. I have learned so much in the past few days! I also love your personality and your little side comments ("Oh, did I just burp on that word?" Lol) and your puppy popping up,etc.
I have an interview next week and my question is regarding my resume. It is 2 pages (I have 34 years of experience and there's no way to fit it on 1 page). I have read that I should not staple the pages. What are your feelings on that? Should I paper clip them? Just leave them separate? If they're separate I know my name should be on top of the second page. Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’m afraid that the padfolio could seem to formal in an interview? What’s your opinion on this. But i’m in love with the concept. ❤️ Btw thank you for the great advises
Cass - what about bringing copies of reference letters, articles, etc...? Also, and if so, what about a cover letter with the position, your name and a table of contents?
I must say... some of these tips are really necessary. I have run into some problems.
The water- YES I always bring it.
food Yes- like a snack bar. yes. banana
comb- yes
-----------------------------
Im a male- so I always wear a T Shirt to the interview for the ride and then change into my Dress shirt- and Tie. in a bathroom or in my car. BECAUSE my seat belt gets my shirt all wrinkled and i dont want sweat spots from the ride under my shirts underarm area. .
Your advice and tips are incredibly helpful! I have a question. In my last two interviews, everyone already had a copy of my resume. Do I need to keep bringing my own copies of my resume to give the interview committees at all my interviews?
Awesome video
You should also bring extra eyeglasses if you wear them. I lost a lens going from the parking garage to the building (4 blocks).
In this day of technology the employer has gotten the resume on their website. In my experience companies don't want so much paper to look at. They open their computer.
I also recommend that if your interview is in part of town that you already know is hard to find parking use Uber. I was 15 min late for an interview cause I couldn't find parking & abviously didn't get the job
Yes, that's a good tip.Sometimes it's worth spending that money!
Use a trusted taxi firm not bloody Uber.
Hello cass thank you for all these amazing videos...im facing a problem and I could use your help with it. After accepting a job offer from a company that i had a successful interview with they gave me my starting date after a month during that time i did another interview and i got another job offer. What should i do they both game me the same offer I love working for both and im still a college student so both these jobs are internship and i don't want to be rude with one of the companies because I know I might want do work for them in the future and they are both big companies. What is the best thing to do? Thank you
I would suggest going with the first one if you already had accepted it. You need to stick to your word. Since they are internships you could ask the second company if you could defer to the next semester.
Good for you! May you always have more than one good offer!
I usually write down the directions to arrive at the interview site
Any time I had my resume on the good paper I didn’t get any answer back lol but that was quite awhile ago as in - 2011. After this time I noticed people didn’t show too much interest in it.
Thanks for this comment 😂 I printed it on regular printer paper and I got super nervous cause I don’t have a printer to re do it
@@madisonirby5528 yea everything changed
Seems like they want everything electronically
Hi Cass so while doing a zoom interview is it ok to take notes? I'm asking because the panel will see you looking down as you're jotting down names or individuals or key words or statements that you will like to have on hand when writing thank you notes or referring back to the interview.
If they are quick notes, its okay. But don't be staring at a paper!
What I'm most nervous about is how much eye contact I should give to the people at the interview
Just focus on being natural. Practice making good eye contact in your daily life to feel comfortable.
I got a call for an interview. They didnt send me an email or anything. I was given all the information verbally 😂😂 Had to write everything down
I dropped my resume off already before I got an interview. Do I still bring it?
Thank you for your tips, I just got done with Frito- Lay interview and I think I ace it. Thanks Cass, from Daniel.
I have one at Frito too tonight.
I just had my interview today... she asked so many questions which I just knew how to answer 3 of them .. and the other ones who knows what I said ... probably I didn't get the job 😒
Did you get the job x
Is it ok to bring flat shoes in case we have walk from the parking lot?
Nope. Your interview begins the second you get out of the car
It's perfectly fine to wear comfortable, businesslike shoes. They MUST be clean and in good condition.
Should I bring a copy of my transcript to an interview??
You don't need that as they can request that from the school. But make sure to highlight all the great things you did in college or your resume!
What if you do not have a bloody car?
What if you haven't done enough jobs to have a resumé?
Everyone starts somewhere. Consult with a job coach about how to make the jobs you've had looks best on your resume. Yes, you should have a resume even to apply for a summer job. Put your first aid course, unusual job-related skills, or any training you've had.
Does it look bad if you fold your resume once, nicely to fit into purse.
Should i print my resume double sided or as two single????? My interview is tomorrow
Bryanna Jordan it shouldn’t be more than one page
If it is more than one page, definitely one sided.
When she said bring an extra pen and all of the emergency kit thing all of the minimalists we're about to have an aneurysm
print out colorful or just black & white?
If you have it in color I would print color
Not too much color. It should be black print, but you can use a bright color to highlight or underline something important.
Can I bring notes about the company..
no, you should know the key points you want to talk about.
When I go for job interview I never take anything with me and never prepare what should I say.
When people prepare like you mansion that big list it telling me that people are nervous.
My advice be professional and think you going to see one of your friend you know them like forever and see everything how it goes well.
3:16
Why would I need to bring a printed resume? They always had it printed or on their laptop open so far (had quite a few interviews)... sometimes even with notes on them already. Seems like a waste.
Because of the chance that they might not have it. Even if it is a low chance, it shows that you are prepared.
they sometimes ask for it if you came prepared just in case. quality of a person.
Thanks for loving my comment below. Do you have an answer to my question? Thanks!
Great video but I gotta disagree with the resume printing. These days everyone interviews you with their laptop and they don't need or want copy of your resume.
That’s not true. I do interview all the time and I do not have my laptop in front of me. I worked in tech and we printed out the resume for every person sitting in every panel interview. It may be the case some places but you can’t say everybody does it on a laptop
CoolMatt, I have an interview tomorrow and they told me to bring a copy of my resume
MKW tell them it is time for them to modernize their company.
@@coolmatt3906 I want the job, so can't say that 😃.
I got specifically asked to bring a copy to my interview and now I’m panicking cause my paper is too thin 😂😂
What if you do not have a bloody printer?
We can print at our public library - the computers and printers there have issues from time to time, but are mostly reliable. Never asked if i could bring my own paper, though theirs are pretty good.
Doesn't taking notes look bad?
It depends on the type of job. And I wouldn't take tons of notes, but to jot some things down when they answer your questions, isn't a bad idea.
I've never had an interviewer not like when I've made notes.
For the women, I like to wear my flats/comfy shoes in the car, then just before I get out I slip on my dress shoes/heels and don't run the risk of blisters, etc.
1. Taking a print-out email is unnecessary. They will give you the information, it is on your phone email, you can locate it on Google maps, and you can just do a dry run the day before. Dry runs are your best bet, so you will know exactly where to go in case you are stuck in traffic.
2. Nope!! Bringing copies of your resume is out dated redundancy. Once you apply online, the interviewer will have already printed it from your online application by the time you get there. They won't even ask for a resume.
3. She's being paid by Amazon. You can get the same thing at Walmart for half the price.
4. 3:55 Here she is talking to you like you are a kid. Everyone knows to bring a pen, and if you don't the interviewer has a million of them. Every HR department has millions of pens, even if you forget one. Notebooks are not necessary. Taking notes while they are interviewing you makes them nervous because they don't know what you are writing. Also, you run the risk of them thinking you have memory issues and can't remember where you worked that's why you are referring to a notebook. I wouldn't do it.
5. I've never heard of car chargers breaking or not working. Weird. Very weird. Anything that you can charge in a car, you should be able to charge at home the night before. I've had old cars that the engine was burning oil and smoking and the charger still worked great.
6. Breath mints, combs, brushes goes without saying. Even a 10 year old would know that.
7. Bottle water is another thing that goes without saying. Even if you forget your water, the building you are headed to is not from the Stone Age. They will have plenty of fancy water fountains for you to fill your jug with.
8. 7:37 Of Course a banana will calm you down because it tastes good and loaded with sugar. Anything that's good on the taste buds will calm your nerves.
9. Again 8:04, if you do a dry run first, you will already know this information, and sometimes the interviewer will give you a voucher anyway for paid parking.
10. Lastly, I took her advice and it cost me a job. She is just stating the obvious. I'm going to be careful with misinformation on the internet, and I think you should too. This advice on this video is something you will already do, nothing new here. Be cautious.
You're really negative. Yikes.
This is the woman who invented Murphy's law
You mean CVs not resumes. CURRICULUM VITAE which is Latin.
Hi Alana, I'm guessing you aren't in America. Here we call them resumes. But thank you for coming on my videos and correcting or criticizing every video you've watched. You're clearly a very bright human and I'm sure these wonderful critiquing skills are going to take you very far in your job search.
@@CassThompsonConsulting What a lovely person you are Cass :) Professional and polite even to the most unpleasant people. Lovely to watch you from Australia and understand everything you ever say, despite the very obvious and minor cultural, language and terminology differences ;)
Are you that girl I heard about that goes to many Interviews and never can land a job?
☻
No need to put someone down, especially when she's being helpful.
We do not live in America. We live in England. We have handbags. Purses are for loose coins only.
It's YOU, not WE. It's not like you have access to her demographics. Plus I'm pretty sure she is based in U.S. What a useless comment.
Apply the equivalent word to your region. 🙄
As an over-thinker, I am already 10 steps ahead of you. This is a great video to make sure for the 100th time that I have everything I need. I have an interview tomorrow at a small business in my town so it should be pretty chill. Better over prepared than not at all 🫠
