      Ask a question that stumps the interviewers, something about where do you see the company in the next 10 years and where would you see me in it. By asking this I normally lead with some knowledge about the company’s growth and then ask what’s next. I had 9 interviews last week and was invited to 7 final interviews 3 days later. After that I just let them know about all my final interviews and let them sell the company to me

      @@andycandy5704 A good mentality to have, as long as you can avoid coming off as entitled or arrogant, is to ask questions about the business as well, almost as if you are asking the interviewer why you should work for them. It sounds strange but not being a submissive stress case and bringing a professional presence is important, because it leaves the impression on both the interviewer and yourself that they should be happy to hire you. Its good for self confidence and self esteem as well :)

    I did a job interview once where all the questions were tell me about a negative situational time. Like they just wanted to know all the worst things I've done in my past work experience. I knew they were testing me to pretty much eliminate myself from consideration. I was able to sway those into positive learning experiences but I didn't get the job. I felt some tension from the interviewer from the beginning I knew he didn't like me from the beginning and I showed up dressed real nice. Sometimes it's not you but the interview and their personal expectations not necessarily the company's. Stay positive and keep trying.

    For those who get nervous in interviews consider this : if you’re prepared there is no reason to be nervous ….as mentioned in the video if you have real examples you can adjust those to answer any question…one way is to make the question fit your answer this takes practice and preparation but the more you do it the more comfortable you will become and interviews will be second nature. The nerves come from being unprepared

    A really good format to follow for behavioral questions is the STAR method. Situation, task, actions, and results. Focus the answer mostly on the action and result part and quantify the results if possible. This is a really great tip I got from an HR manager at Emerson!! 👍🏻👍🏻

    I recently got hired for a seasonal position at a local retail store, and I was prepared for pretty much anything. I was dressed properly, although I accidentally out-dressed the hiring manager, but she didn't mind at all. I had about 3 years of retail experience, and I was just myself. The biggest piece of advice that I learned is that even before the interview starts, just think to yourself "This job is already mine." Great video!

    One thing I learned during my time in sales is to master small talk! I believe this applies to any formal meeting, like interviews. The first 30 seconds in a room are key to build that "likeability factor" and this is where small talk counts. Still, keep in mind, that it's probably best to follow the vibe of your audience. Sometimes, the other person may not be a fan of small talk and want to jump right into business. However, 9 times out 10 I have noticed you will have back and forth with small talk with most people to "lighten the mood". Topics could be simply like: weather, are you ready for the holidays, even take notice of things hanging on the wall like a trophy or picture of fishing and ask questions about that.

    Here a couple additional things you might find helpful (since I have to cut my scripts for time):
    - I got my suit at Suit Supply. I did a ton of research beforehand and the internet basically told me they were the best option within my budget, which was around $500. If your budget is less than that, I'd recommend checking department stores (like JCPenny or Macy's in the US), as they're probably going to have the best quality stuff at $150-$200. FIT MATTERS, so find a tailor and spend $15 or $20 more to have the pants hemmed, the jacket taken in, etc. Alterations usually aren't expensive.
    - If you don't have access to a career center for practice interviews, get practice however you can. Lots of the scholarships I applied to in college had interview components, and sometimes I'd even apply for those vanity honor societies just for the interview practice.

    I'm just about to go into an interview for an office job after over a year of retail work. I'm somewhere between being nervous and excited for the opportunity, but this video really helped me tip more towards the "excited" end of the spectrum. I'll definitely take your advice on taking a notebook (I always carry one to jot down notes anyway, I'll just take the one I have already out of my purse), but the rest, I hope I have covered already... I just needed it said out loud. (Honestly I thought the thank you note might be a bit overkill, but now you got me thinking that it's a great refresher for a person who probably heard way too many verbal thank yous that day.)

I went over to help pick up their things and he had told me that’s so kind of you. I said of course it’s no problem at all, and they asked me what I was waiting on and I let them know I was waiting for an interview to start. And they told me I think you’ll get it and he looked behind him and the manager was one of the candidates sitting with all of us in the waiting room.

    One "job" you might be interviewing for is a "first date". On one first date I had I felt that I had monopolized the conversation, so I followed up with a letter -- yes a letter because this was 1984. This letter caused there to be a second date, a second chance to spend time with this man. Fast forward 3 months and he proposed to me. We were married within a year and spent 32 wonderful years together before he died. I still miss him and it's been 2 years. But, I think that letter made the difference for me.

    The whole interview process should be like the two way conversation process of knowing each other and shouldn’t be overwhelming especially for experienced candidates and especially in this day and age. I have 10 years solid experience in my field and just a year and half before I was looking for new work and I was kind of shocked to see how companies still ask silly questions to a person who is already experienced and I had feeling that companies over screen the candidates unnecessarily. The candidate who aces the interview process does not really mean he/she will turn out to be the employee the employer was looking for and vice versa.

    Learning the basics about interviews & remembering to be your self is a start, but the best way to get better & even good at it is to go on alot of them. Go on the one's you like the least first. It'll take the edge off & you might find you like it more than you thought. These days anyone rarely gets hired on the spot, so that while your waiting for response your engaged in more interviews. Having more possible options puts you a lil more at ease with every next one. You develope a rhythm like athlete's do. One at bat doesn't define you. One missed basket doesn't define you either or a dropped pass. It's better to think of it as a game than a must win for your livelihood. We too often find ourselves trying to impress for something, whether it's personal or professional. Trying to impress almost always comes off as contrived & that looks desperate. As kids we spend alot of our time with games because it's fun. We all know how to play games & interviews are just another version of a game. What ever job you wind up with, your hopes are that you enjoy it. Enjoying starts with you,. Start before you even have the job at the interview. If you get the job, you can add your joy to it. That's how team sports find chemistry.

      Humans are nothing but robots.... ya I said it. Everyone expects for someone to say or do the same thing over and over again, let's use the movie called the Hunger Games as an example. Were all basically fighting for the same thing. Food, Housing, Love but it's all a gamble in this society because in the end the one with better skills, better cloths, better looks, etc. mostly are the ones making it, leaving the rest in the dust. So there is no dream job, there's only a dream career because the places you truly want to work for can turn you down at any instant. But a career it not just any job it's what your good at doing. It's always a say this do this but they also look at nervousness like their just pushing you not to get the job or already have in the back of their mind it's a no for me, so it's more of a gamble than opportunity. If your not good at something or have ever worked your way up long enough then your just basically being a robotic act for those people who look past what you have to say and go for the other guy who dresses nicer, already been in the money game, etc. They never look past what the company says is a right fit, someone could be a hard worker, loves working with others and a team and that's still not great enough..... because they want to all hear what the company or everyone else wants them to hear and that's so sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Thomas! Awesome video :)
    Once I was dressed in a formal gray suit for an interview and the recruiter gave me negative feedback about my clothes. She told me that when researching for a company, always check the dress code in the workplace. If formal, dress in a suit, if not dress 'normal'.
    It was a startup company, everyone was wearing shorts and t-shirts. When I walked in the office fully clothed, everybody thought I was an investor or someone's dad.
    DRESS PROPERLY, PEOPLE!

    I know that's not very good advice, but it definitely worked out for me and loads of people in my field: if you're decent/good at many things, easily interested and excited, but not really special or insanely good at anything, pick a field that makes you highly desirable. I picked engineering - I enjoy it, and I also don't need to be absolutely above average to get really good opportunities. I went into my first job interview for a paid 6 month internship without even applying because my friend said "Hey, my boss really needs more interns, want to join?" - no extracurricular activities, no work experience apart from supervising students in the lab at uni (and she got the position immediately as well, without any connections. Sent in her application, got accepted before even showing up for the interview). At the interview, they started showing me around, introducing me to people and told me what the food is like. I've literally not done anything in my life but go to school and uni, I just chose a field that I would enjoy and also get a job in - as long as I survive it. And that's basically our motto in engineering: if you survive long enough to get your degree, you'll have nothing to worry about. Most importantly, grades don't matter - all of us are close to C's and D's on average, barely passing classes, on average studying 3-4 semesters longer than required, but considering only 9 out of 56 people are left in the course.. yeah, you have to make yourself desirable somehow.

I mean obviously the candidate should at least be nice to the interviewer and show that they are driven for the post but there should be a limit. The interviewer could at the end of the day just chose someone else and leave you never hearing from them again, it can be very embarrassing and depressing.
