    I had an interview today. The number one question: “tell me why you applied for this job!” I feel like I did really well. Many smiles and guess what, there was no “weakness” question. I dodged a bullet! Lol. Thanks Cass!

    Dear Cassandra, like others, I thoroughly studied and practised with all the amazing and helpful tips you provided. Love the STAR method, I tend to ramble when I get passionate about a project but this really helped me stay on point. No matter the result and I honestly mean that this was the first interview where I actually felt impressed with myself. I'd hit a confidence crisis of self-worth but charting all my career successes reminded me why I was good at what I did. Huge respect for your video deliverance, you make it look so easy. It's the hardest damn thing to conquer. I recorded myself a zillion times and would always freeze despite knowing what I what to convey! I'm definitely a people person but not a camera/video person. I Will keep revisiting your library of fabulous video tutorials and continue practising. Loved your end of interview questions for the panel, it really helped me to articulate what I wanted to know from them in a confident manner. This was definitely a 2-way interview. Always indebted, thank you so much xxx

    Hey Cass! I'm from London, UK and early this week there were 2 interviews I attended and its been about 2 years since I last worked and slightly more when I last had an interview so I was a nervous wreck! I don't know how but I was so lucky and grateful to have come across your youtube channel few days before the interviews. I have been binge watching your videos, old and new - making notes and prepping my answer and questions to ask. When I say I binged your videos like I'm binging a shows on Netflix I'm not joking haha. But the 1st interview out of the 2 which I wanted to get in more, I was extremely nervous (I used some of cheats that 'nobody's gonna know' over virtual interview lol) I answered the question accordingly and not ramble and luckily remembered your advices. Luckily me being a small UA-camr I had a Tripod to put my phone on eye-level to the camera making it easy to make 'eye-contact' with the interviewers and still dressing the part, having simple, elegant makeup and in formal wear (managed to wear my favourite grey blazer during this pandemic! :D ) and I ended the interview smoothly with the 'HARD' question. I was extremely nervous to ask that question, I myself hesitated (the irony hehe) but i managed to pull together and smoothly asked - they were slightly taken aback in a good way and I believe it impressed them. (they gave a positive feedback) few days later (yesterday) I got the call of the offer! I can't believe it :') so proud of myself but I want to thank you more as you have helped me a lot! I'm an extreme introvert and a nerve wreck in social environment and meeting new people also having ADHD you helped me a lot! so thank you Cass! :'D
    Edit: Wanted to mention that I also for the first sent a 'thank you Email' after the interview and after the offer. I believed that impressed them more :)
