- 8 Interview Types To Be Prepared For In Your Job Search
Job interviews come in various formats, each designed to assess different aspects of a candidate's qualifications, skills, and fit for the role and company culture. Here are seven common types of job interviews:
Traditional One-on-One Interview
Phone or Video Interview
Panel Interview
Behavioral Interview
Case Interview
Group Interview
Stress Interview
The technical interview
PS...the thumbnail question is a pretty common question in Google interviews, and it’s surprising that many people do not know the answer. Manhole covers are round because a circle is the only shape that cannot fall through itself.

I've had a few "stress interviews". After the first few, which threw me because they were gaslighting so I wasn't able to catch them on the fly. They were highly annoying. Now I can catch them, and do: I now stop the interview and withdrawl my candiacy. I explain that I feel the approach is abusive and I want no part of working in an organization that would do that. I have a successful 37 year long career and this approach has done me well to avoid abuse and take care of my mental health.
When they don't want to, they give you a hard time.
I agree! I’ve only had one stress interview and I was too young to understand what was happening. I met with one person (A) who was screening candidates. She cleared me for the second round and intentionally gave me the wrong name as a test. During the second round the guy (B) said “This will be hard” and then started the stress interview. At the end I thanked him for his time with the name the first interviewer gave me he rolled his eyes and the interview was over.
Months after I reapplied to the same company at a different site and both interviewers A and B were watching candidates through their cameras, spotted me and A angrily snatched my resume from the pile. I watched B roll his eyes before storming off. The managers were willing to interview me but it was weird and uncomfortable. Strange place, I guess you can only interview once in some places before you’re blackballed. Btw, it was for a bartending position.
For my coding assignment, they assigned me a workstation right next to a busy printer in constant use by everyone in the office and my keyboard was broken. I withdrew my candidacy.
Good foe you, and also jobs are overrated, happiest guy I know is the guy running his profitable taco stand, for real, corporate is a bay of barracuda waiting to pounce on the orca, period!😊
@@HazeAndersonTalk about hostile work environment.
I wouldn't want to work at a place like that, either.
Job interviews are the hardest and worst part of job hunting.
true
The entire process of looking for a job sucks. But if you are struggling with job interviewing, check out The Ultimate Job Seeker Bootcamp or The 48 Hour Interview Crashcourse. They are both designed to help for this exact reason.
I despise job searching, I would rather interview 1,2 times on a daily basis than job search.
@ForgottenKnight1 I despise both. It's a ton of work and effort with little chance of reward.
It's rare but some employers actually interview fairly and well but most don't. Remember that employers are largely incompetent
I feel like behavioral based interviewers tend to hire people that are good at ... well ... lying. They favor the dishonest.
That is true, but there is a degree of lying required at every interview. Sell yourself is all about lying. and much of dating is lying as well. this world sucks. If i was an employer, id rather have honesty and lack of skill, bc skill can be learned once trained in the role. Yet if they say they have the skills upfront, and can't deliver i would fire the one claiming to have the skill even if i could train them. flip the script is needed everywhere right now.
They favor those who are good at storytelling. The good news is that this is a learnable skill.
Yep, 12 years into my career and I still can’t master them. I’m not a good liar either. Technical interviews I tend to do well at …you know the ones that should actually matter for the role.
@@ALifeAfterLayoffWhat if you don’t have stories to tell?
@@ALifeAfterLayoff and AI is great at learning 😏I hear you though ... I do. Nobody said a little bit of pain would NOT be required. Nobody said I have to take the offer either 😏
This job market is so intense that I am about to throw in the towel.
No, just adapt and learn the strategy. You'll be fine!
I have two interviews scheduled. I am tired going to interviews that I know might be for a 👻 posting. They can consider me a ghost applicant.
If you throw in the towel, then you will have time on your hands. You might as well use that time for learning to find a job.
I agree, though.
Adopt the attitude that most employers are clueless
@@ALifeAfterLayoff Is it possible to even get interviews without connections/nepotism; or as some like to call it "networking"?
More common....the incompetent interviewer interview. The interviewer who already knows he's not going to hire you, he just wants to pick your brain. The interviewer who must exert their narcissistic attitude over you. And, the interviewer who has far less experience than you do and doesn't really know what you are even talking about. And finally. the interviewer who finds a way to discount YOU, to show the company how valuable HE is.
Done a couple of those.
One bright spot: they show themselves so you know to steer clear.
@@luke5100 Nice try mister manager. The manufacturing sector has been hollowed out and the turds that have been promoted to management level don't have a clue how to manage people. I have held senior project manager roles for some of the top companies in the country. I hold multiple patents, have received customer awards, and made one of my companies 40 million dollars. Now I am being interviewed by people from China and India, corporate automatons that lie to your face, run you into the ground so they get their promotion and then they force you out of the company. You make a lot of assumption that don't hold water, your incompetence is showing.
@@luke5100 Your willingness to make assumptions, gas light people and show disrespect, says a lot about you.
@@luke5100it's almost impossible to improve interviews after a point because you as just 1 interviewee have no idea of how good other people being interviewed really are. It's all a crap shoot tbh
This is possibly why people are not entering the job market. Too many interviews and how is the phone screener really able to determine if a person is the right fit for the hiring team.
Honestly, how are at most a small handful of interviews going to determine if someone is going to be a goof fit for a role? You always take a gamble when hiring.
Likewise, you always take a gamble when you accept a job.
I am one those people that is having a tough time entering the job market. I interview and the people on the other end flamboyantly tell me right off the bat that they have a candidate in mind already or that they are going to conduct Google style rounds of interviewing for a role that doesn’t pay Google salary. It’s insanity.
@@_nimrod92 Well that is rude for a company/interviewers to say that right off the bat. That is not a company you want to work for at all. Keeping applying elsewhere.
@@luke5100 not so sure on that one
@@chuckchan4127the ironic thing is that there is always more legal protection for employers than employees when starting a new job...the candidate you hired is crap...you give them paid notice and chalk it up to poor interviewing...it's always more risky for the candidate as it's damn hard to leave a new job if it's not working out
behavioral interviews also my favorite type because they let me know the work environment is probably not that great right from the start
A lot of politicking and brown-nosing would be required if working there.
In past interviews I've been asked several times of how I handle pressure...to me that question is a red flag as it implies the job will be pressurised and you will not be getting into any help
@@keithparker1346 i do usually feel that interviews consisting entirely of behavioral questions (or behavioral interview portions of larger interview processes) come off as annoyingly bureaucratic, dismissive, or low-effort. typically my first story covers 3 or more of the remaining questions and the interviewer says so. i think that's more on them than me.
on the other hand, interviews with a few behavioral questions amid other non-behavioral questions are great for the reason you describe. high pressure environments, tricky coworkers, and so on. in higher ed behavioral q's about "difficult" or "challenging" students or faculty almost always allude to an adversarial relationship between the hiring department/program and the rest of the university. it's important to have good stories on-deck so you can pay more attention to what these questions might be telling you about the role.
From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Christopher Alexander Walter, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape....>>
He's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name
@Gainwithwalter7
Interesting!! I'm so excited, seeing mr Walter, being mentioned here because his strategies have also normalized winning trades for me. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
After I raised up to 325k trading with him I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..
Honestly this cannot be overemphasized, helping people mitigate unforseen circumstances and mistakes It's always good to have a financial plan
Case study = we need a project done for free, nobody's hiring.
Yup. Never never ever any homework assignments.
Not necessarily. I had one with Skydweller. The work they had me do was doable in a day and there is practically no way to make the work I did useful to them. It was too disconnected from anything production.
I'm re-entering the official workforce after being a sahm for the last 25 years. Every time I think of having to interview for a job I'm at a total loss and anxiety sets in.
Please don't be so hard on yourself. At the end of the day, everyone is just a person. You bring so much to the table, let it shine through.
@@jellyrcw12 Thank you so much! ♥️
Think of what you can contribute. You are really a mature entrance level candidate. Since most entrance level candidates are young, they tend to be lacking in personal skills.
You do have to brush up on some of the technical skills. But a lot of information is online and free.
Do not be afraid of the interview. By the time you get to the interview, you have already defeated dozens of competitors. And remember, an interview is a chance to talk about yourself, an activity that a lot of people enjoy doing.
@@waichui2988 THANK YOU!!!
One time I went to the employer's office to get interviewed. The main interviewer did not show up and i had to interview in the office over the phone with remote interviewers. That was the weirdest interview that I ever had.
Ya that happened to me too
I don't like when employers bait and switch
My last interview was meant to be a phone interview but about 1 hour before the time it was changed to video interview then to add insult to injury THEIR video was not working so it was them seeing me without me seeing them...a little unfair I think
@@keithparker1346 Wow, did you think about possibly turning off your video because you are right, it was unfair.
@@AI-cp1jg tbh I never thought of that during the call. I'd be interested to hear what they would have said if I had done that
@@keithparker1346 Actually I had an interview just like that. I started the call with my camera on and the interviewers never turned theirs on. I did think about turning off the camera but didn't do it but was tempted to.
I have issues with the case study interview. You do a project for them and you have not been hired yet.
Depending on what they want you do, you might be able to reuse the project for your portfolio going forward. But I always think about how much money one would normally charge to do the work. What is of even more importance is time -- if I can interview with 3 other companies in the time it takes me to do the project, I won't bother. It's all a matter of how busy my week is. The busier the better when job hunting.
Same. Last year I had a guy almost hire me, he just wanted me to do a "quick" programming project so he could see how I did it. Requirements were "create a web app including authentication that consumes this NASA API and displays the data". I asked if the project would be paid, and he acted surprised and said I'd been the first person to ask that. I said I'd consider it, and once all the documentation arrived via email I looked at it and quietly groaned. I ended up not doing it as I was a little limited on time around travel and whatnot, and the recruiter later told me the hiring manager had been surprised since he thought it was just a couple hours of work. By my estimate it would probably have been a couple days to get right, in large part because I'm not a cybersecurity expert and would want to be extra careful with the login system.
This type of interview is what they have been commenting on LinkedIn about. They were saying after candidates do the presentations they do not get hired or simply ghosted & they steal your idea(s). 🤔
If they don't hire you then send them a bill for the work you did.
A case study is one of the interview types here to have some feeling of pause. Imagine spending countless hours or days working and perfecting the project that you were asked to creat only to get ghosted in the interview process. No feedback. No rejection letter. Ouch.
I am (still) being interviewed for a large company. It has been a month, 5 interviews and they are "working on the agreement"
Aka, how long can we keep you as a backup in case we don't find someone we really want.
Whatever, I'm already looking elsewhere...but 5 damn interviews, not even sure a ceo gets 5 interviews, what a time to be alive.
You should have ditched them by interview 2 or 3
@@chuckchan4127 obviously, but gave them the benefit of the doubt when I was told I would be getting an offer and that the next interview had no say in the hiring process. Classic red light.
The state of the job market...they can do whatever they want, they know you need them.
Although not common, when my brother was trying to get a finance position he had had more interviews than 5.
Move on this is a red flag that they’re totally unorganized and will micromanage you. Then once higher, they will find any reason to get rid of you. My husband had five interviews ridiculous then he finally gets the offer. He gets the verbal offer and then they were supposed to give it to him on Wednesday. They took him additional seven days for them to send him an offer almost 8 days, and of course they’re going to do a background check but we’re taking our time. We’re not rushing a yes or no. Lot of red flags on this company. Though I would love the money I don’t know if it’s the right fit for me plus they didn’t even send me a background check that I have to sign, nothing they just want me to agree to an email I don’t think so
Some corporations can be very sluggish in preparing a contract. I had to wait once almost a month after the interview process was over for them to draft a contract. Like, for real, some managers can't be bothered. In the meantime, continue interviewing.
Thanks for the info Bryan. I've been getting interviews but just couldn't secure the job offer.
You're doing something right. Check out my video on diagnosing your interview issues. ua-cam.com/video/Q2BnHjEfb9E/v-deo.html
Prepare for a panel interview with behavior based questions if you are applying for federal jobs.
Panel interviews are difficult and rarely have a good flow, in my experience, very scripted.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
That's awesome!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?
I'll advise you to work with a financial advisor.....Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams .
YES! that's exactly his name (Mr Fergus Waylen) I watched his interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about him and his trading skills, he's an expert and I'm just starting with him....From Brisbane Australia
This Man has really change the life of many people from different countries and am a testimony of his trading platform .
Well, you are saying the fact. I invested $4,000 with fergus Waylen. and earned $12,000 .
I did a boardroom panel interview during the pandemic. Thankfully I had on a mask to hide my nervous expressions 😅 I got through it though and got the job at the time.
I had 7 rounds of interviews. A month process before an offer was made.
You were right on the money this this video. I was intervening for a Senior Business Systems Analyst role that was 6 interviews plus a phone sceen with an internal recruter. All feedback was positive duing the interviews. My closing question to all the interviewers is, "Do you have any hesitations moving forward with me as a canidate and if so, how can I carify any concerns you may have". Each time, I was told that they had no concens moving forward with me in the process. However, 2 days after my finail interview, I got a rejection email. There were red flags all over this interview proceess as you outlined in your video. I have appled to close too 1000 jobs and talked to hundreds of recruteres that leads to dend ends.
You are legend among men.
Thanks for explaining this.
May god bless you with everything you desire.
In the pas week, I've had:
1) one of those video interviews where they ask a series of questions, and you record your answers. The one I took also had to puzzle games to also solve, at 2 minutes each (matching shapes and whatnot). I had 5 questions I had to record myself answering. It was surprisingly kind of fun and less stress than an 1:1 interview
2)Technical take home challenge-I'm a QA Engineer, which involves some coding if you are in the automation side like myself. The assignment was to code a login process to a website, then do some fancy stuff to assert and confirm some test cases they provided. It was the WORST website I've ever had to work with to automate. They also gave criteria on what they wanted to see implemented. THEN you had to write up a report about your findings and methodology. They put a time estimate on the assignment at 3-4 hours. Totally threw me off guard but I did it as a learning opportunity. I sent the code to the interviewer a few days later with a report of my findings. They said they will schedule a follow-up interview but we'll see LOL
Y'all, I'm TIRED!
I don't think it's fair to do one-way interviews. I need to critique a potential employer as well as they need to critique me. For that reason, they can take their job and shove up their eff'in a**.
Thanks !
I don’t know what it is about your intro music, but whenever I hear it, it makes me think of a gang of bootleg, banana hammock wearing Patrick Swayze strippers dancing AT my general direction.
The music is just a bit crotch-forward I find. It makes me want to dance thrust the air.
So you're saying the music is effective.
Lol
I've been through my fair share of jobs and interviews. Most important thing to remember: NEVER put anything in your resume that you are unable to comfortably discuss. You don't have to be 100% honest since hiring company rarely will go to such extent as checking what you actually did at your last job. let alone job before last. But if you say you did A and stutter answering about said A, you toast. You don't have to be an expert in A, but you do need basics. That's how I upscaled few times. Second most important thing is: nobody gives a sheet about your diploma if you graduated 10 years ago. Unless having a degree is an absolute must. So emphasize experience. And yes, good story telling paints you credible. Just my free 2 cents.
Interesting.😯
I have a good story about a sell me this pen interview. I I answered that by saying let's see. It has the highest quality ink in the pen industry, It has an upgraded grip on it so you can get more words out in a small amount of time and it even comes standard with a 50-page 5000 word warranty.
I've been subscribed to your channel for a while and it's been interesting to hear the wisdom you share. That said, I often get discouraged with the process of finding a job after viewing your videos. But that may just be because I am a low-value candidate.
Keep trying. Something will eventually pop up.
Took me a year of job hopping (getting fired right before benefits kick in) to find a place that looks promising.
You can change that and become higher value. Seek out people who are realistic, but with a positive attitude towards life. You will find all sorts of ways to improve yourself.
I just could not imagine going to work where the dress code is a noose around my neck.
My brother in law is successful but has so much stress, he’s 40 and looks close to 50, his hair is completely white.
I once worked in the corporate world, and I can honestly say, everyone there was an alcoholic, almost everyone had a DWI. It was a crazy, I left within a couple of months.
The first three are modes of interview. The remaining four or five are question types. They can all happen at the same time. I've had a panel interview where people would join a WebEx meeting at the appointed time to ask their questions. Two of those sets did technical interviews. I've also had a case study where the interview was conducted in panel format through MS Meeting.
I don't do panel interviews!! The rest, I'm okay to great at doing!!
When I go in for a job interview I get tired of meeting with the company flunkies who are sent to vet the candidates before they meet with the managers (decision makers). I want to meet with the actual decision makers not some goofball. If I have to meet with the flunkies then I'm not interested in working for that company.
That panel interview I assume is some USA typical thing. I never went through something like that. It sounds realy scary.
I don't know. Here in Switzerland it is normal to be in an interview with 2-3 people at the same time. Usually HR and Teamleader :)
5:40 I would ❤ this type of interview format. Because I would thrive at it... They would get to see my inner workings and what I could actually DO - as opposed to the BS of how I answer questions which is quite meaningless in comparison.
The case study interview is a BS way for companies to get free ideas out of you because they don't know how to solve a problem, and they're too cheap to actually hire someone to fix said problem.
5:04 But how am I supposed to remember every situation - especially if they are grilling me about something specific - for example, a specific policy (when I deal with many policies in my position, for example) and also when you are blanking out during the interview? How should I document what I did?
Thanks!
Faced the panel interview once and had the behavioral interview a number of times.
A lot of politicking and brown-nosing would be required if working there.
@@althunder4269You sure say that alot.
I just lost my job of 8 years (my first job out of school) this past Wednesday.
Looking at how difficult the job market is right now makes me feel hopeless. I feel like even if I apply to 200 jobs a month I’d be lucky to even get a call back or a follow up email from even one job.
I don’t what to do. I only have two months of severance and health insurance.
I wanted to propose in May which makes things even worse.
To say I’m scared is an understatement. Since Wednesday it’s been almost impossible to sleep. The anxiety is crippling.
I'm British, I lost my last job over a year ago. I've applied for something like 1400 vacancies. I've had about 4 interviews in that time. Employers have so much choice nowadays
Looking for a job can be scary if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately, I teach you how to on this channel.

@@mb6381 thank you
They are projecting their insecurities on candidates. They should really pay to candidates for going to those long interview processes. What happened to probation period? Well, you need to pay salary for probation period.
Love your videos 💕
Can you help me out? I had an interview Thursday. Toured the facility, and hiring manager said “he wanted to sell the company to me more than I sell myself”. I meet with employees. Leaving interview I was asked”My expected salary”. Hiring manager notified me as walking me out that they were still interviewing candidates, and to continue interviewing. Contacted the company today spoke with hiring manager. He let me know I was still in the running and they were still interviewing. One thing that struck me was when he said “He emailed me,” but I notified him “I haven’t received an email to give me an update they were still interviewing”. That’s when he proceeded to let me know I was still in the running. Help!!!
Awesome overview, Brian! Boolean search, eh? I would have guessed select * from table where x! = y, select * from table where x = y or z, select * from table where x = y and z. Curious to know if that might be overkill/wrong/correct in your case or elsewise? Is it okay to use an earpiece connected to realtime AI during these types of 'test' (i.e. Boolean) question interviews? I think if you were sneaky, you could repeat the question with some custom voice prompting. In fact, as a hiring manager, I suspect that I have interviewed such candidates already.
I wouldn't recommend cheating - unless you want to lose the job opportunity.
I think you missed a vital one: the "give a presentation of yourself" video interview - this is where you have to provide a brief snapshot of who you are and why you are looking for a new role, as well as why you're a good fit. These interviews are typically unscripted (i.e. they're not presenting you with questions), though some of them will. But they are a requirement before getting to speak with anyone. About 20% of jobs are requiring these "intro" videos.
Hell no. I skip those if they’re required
@@charliedallachie3539 I typically don't do them either. If I were a PERFECT match, I would. But the likelihood of that happening is basically zero.
Sounds like a waste of time. I wouldn't do it.
How do you categorize an employer who contradicted herself throughout the interview? One moment she said I was over qualified, another moment she talked about hiring someone who can manage her side hustle and eventually become the "mini CEO." Here's my take - if I have to talk sense to her when she's supposed to be the smart one (she's some tech executive), the working relationship is going to be a painful one. I withdrew my application.
I have had almost all of these in law enforcement interviews
Can I, before signing a contract of employment, ask to see and read the contract, on a PDF for exemple, and the give my final answer like three days after?
I'm brazilian so maybe it's different here
A lot of my jobs have been boring so I struggle in behavioral interviews because the scenarios they ask have never happened to me. I’m not good at making stuff up on the fly either.
Same here.
If a company gave me a behavioral interview I wouldn't work for them. A lot of politicking and brown-nosing would be required if working there.
Yea I’ve since learned that you have to fake it or at least say “here is what I would do in that scenario”. I work in IT so most of my interviews have been technical (as they should be) luckily but I still get thrown into behavioral ones and I hate them with a passion. Tough BS questions I’ve run into are ones like:
Why do you want to work for us? (Need to put food on the table duh)
If you were to write your own job description for our company, what would be? (No joke had that one)
What are your greatest weaknesses? (Hate that one)
What is one enormous achievement you’ve made in a past job that you’ve gotten a lot of recognition for?
(Not common in tech jobs…..uh I fixed someone’s computer in 5 minutes once)
@@charliedallachie3539as much as interviews are crap and employers are terrible the "why do you want to work for us?" Question is the one where you need to have a good answer other than money. It's a question that will probably decide if you get the job or not. If ever I was employing someone I would NOT want someone just money motivated...you can say you like to do a professional job, promptly etc etc. they can get any bozo for just money and they KNOW it. Only mention money if you get a job offer
All of these things, that I keep hearing in this channel, it really does make me to stay away from all jobs more and more and never accept any kind of job invitation. I guess, there's just no such job for a person like me.
Personally, i don't do more than 3 interviews. If your company is already so inefficient that you can't decide in 3 or less, I'm not interested.
i hate behavioral, tell me a situation when i haven't had that exact situation yet
Case study and technical are definitely my least favorite because it seems way too easy for employers to just be fishing for free work if you don't get hired and see the job posting still up, or re-posted weeks later. Plus group interviews always seemed weird too.
Call me paranoid, but I absolutely HATE being asked to send in a video snippet presenting myself marked as a mandatory field in the job application form without any promise to even proceed forward. I feel very vulnerable whenever I have to record myself. The jobs I apply for sure as hell won't require me to stand in front of a camera, so why on Earth would I have to do that as the first step to even get an interview? I'm fine with video calls or recording myself if I actually get selected for an interview round, but I despise companies that make you film yourself first thing.
I had an interview last Monday and the Internet in 5 minutes into the interview told me I should go across the road to the competitor. At the end of the interview he said he would e-mail my tax forms before reporting to work that Friday. So glad I didn't take that job it was all weird and sketchy. 🤔🤔🤷🤷
It should be only 3 interviews any more than that, they should pay the applicant
It should be 1 interview.
1 phone/video screen. 1 onsite with 3 people. Anything more than that is a “culture fit” exam (I.e - “Do I personally like this guy?). Multi round interviews point to a lack of decision making.
@@rayecastI disagree as I've lived in Switzerland and 2 or 3 or 4 interviews are the norm. Remember during these interviews you can interview them and see if it's a good fit. The employer should be doing the same. Yes it's kind of shitty when you do multiple interviews and don't get the job...but consider it practice
In my opinion, every type of interview is acceptable except the group interview where you can see other candidates. Admittedly, looking for jobs isn’t a fair process for job seekers to begin with. But if they think you’re a good fit, they need to exclusively focus on you (not anyone else) when they are interviewing with you. Even if they have many people to talk about, they should give you a 10 min video call (exclusively to you) instead of interviewing 6 people together in one hour. You deserve all the attention, and you can be the best of yourself and don’t have to be influenced by your competitors. If your potential employer asked you to attend a “group interview”, just walk away. They are definitely low quality employers.
Companies want more volunteers so they don't have to pay up and provide benefits while reaping the benefits from the volunteer code base.
What is your opinion on Case Study being a way to steal work product.
It's a risk - use your judgement on whether to proceed. I would NOT do a case study on their actual business issue, but rather a fictional one.
I made it to a final interview after submitting and presenting a Case Study. The day before the interview, they changed to job to Hybrid, not remote, which put me out of the running. @@ALifeAfterLayoff
I interviewed for a position with some people i contracteded with and worked with on another partner. The interviewer i was familiar with but was very cold and was not friendly. She asked me the hardest questions almost to discredit me. They ended up not choosing me as she made me nervouse and was very cold and awkward. I found ound she took that position. Why did i have to go through that? Why not just hire internally without mentally abusing others? Another job i did 3 round interviews ended up hiring internally. I feel they are wasting peoples time when they have families and kids to provide for. This is cruel.
It's a terribly inconsiderate practice, but sometimes they have to interview a few external people before they are allowed to hire internally. Rather than genuinely consider the external candidates for the job, they just use it to go through the motions to justify the internal hire.
@@tarekyared4404wow
ive been applying for jobs for months now still no interviews
Have you been hunting down hiring managers as well? If not, that should be step 1. Since they know what their companies are hiring for, you can ensure your applications land. After you apply, hound them until you get an interview.
Phone interviews not virtual are difficult.
Why are they asking 4-8 years of experience for an entry-leve position?
This should be illegal!
Rather than dealing with all this nonsense, I decided to retire!
Had a dirty trick pulled on me today, they said it was an info session and no one would need to come on camera only to demand everyone get on camera ....like wtf
they also told me the phone call would be an info session where I could ask questions, when in reality it was a real phone interview only grilling me with the questions
If a hiring manager gave you a specific day that you should hear back by would you wait until the next day to send a follow up email or do you send it on that day?
If it's me I'll wait until the next day
Sure, you can do a gentle nudge when the commit to it. Oftentimes, the hiring manager forgets (but this may indicate you're not a top candidate for the role). Always keep applying!
Thank you both! I’m suppose to be hearing back today, I will send a follow up email tomorrow if needed. But, like Brian said, ABA!
"Describe a situation where you were challenged and came up with a solution" ... as if stakeholders actually give employees abundant opportunities to implement "solutions" 🙄
@@Anamnesis I'm a software developer, so it's literally my job to learn new things and come up with solutions. Typically the solutions are to problems the business people have created for themselves, and as for the "learning things" part when job hunting recruiters for some reason seem to expect you to have experience in _exactly_ the technologies they use.
I stepped out and immediately emailed HR Director that I would no be moving forward to interview 7. Two months long. Waist of my time.
7 lol is that a joke
I think you have a typo in the title my man
Presentation interviews are the worst type of interviews because there is no way to present something that you haven't done before. If a hiring manager can't determine if you are a good fit for the job in the initial interviews, this will be a good indication that they are dysfunctional and indecisive in what this person will need to do to be successful in the role.
If the interview seems too aggressive and they are not allowing you to ask questions, it's okay to stop the interview and tell them that this isn't going to be a good fit for either one of us. Then get up and leave, knowing you won't have to work for a bad company like that.
video interviews are mostly about the way you look cosmetically (e.g., full head of hair, full set of teeth, no tattoos, piercings, what your background appearance looks like, etc.) otherwise, this would be conducted via phone.
I think it's fair if you're a remote employee to have a video interview. I would want to see how my employees present themselves to customers, etc.
If they are remote they are not seeing customers.
@@skyranger1366I would say yes and no. Quite a lot of video calls nowadays in business
i like this channel but it seems the content is primarily aimed at corporate america and those with degrees, not blue collar jobs
That’s where most of my experience is.
IT Employers are ruthless, insensitive and unaware of under 50 lousy workers (who they prefer to keep).
Once you are 50+ employers won't keep you no matter how sincere and qualified you are.
All this seems like corporate torture that proves absolutely nothing in the end.
I feel the walk me through your resume is about as boring as they come
Always go and get favorable feedback then don't hear from them again. ... enough of this shit. I doubt most people care to invest the time and resources to go to a ghost interview. If you don't have an immediate vacancy .... don't call me!!!
Why are candidates qualifying themselves to the employer or recruiter?
Who has the problem here? Is it the candidate? No. It is the company who has the problem right?
Who has the solution? You do, yes you the candidate!
You are the solution to the problem that these companies need, isn’t that right? Yes!
So why qualify yourself to the employer? 🤔
They got to qualify to you right? Absolutely!
After all, as the candidate, you don’t even know if you can help them to begin with.
Change the mindset. You don’t need them, they need you.
What a bunch of bull crap stress interviews are. If I felt disrespected, I would just withdraw my candidacy. We're just trying to see if we're a good match, there's no need to abuse each other and play stupid games.
IQ is the best predictor of future work performance, but it's illegal due to politicial reasons. Though it is universally used at the top level of sport
Dude, IQ test would end me.😂
I’m lost as to why people who have applied to 100’s of jobs barely hear from 5. I have a FT job and am not looking to change but I still apply to jobs daily/weekly just to see if I’d get a response. Of the 20ish jobs I’ve applied for, I’ve heard back from 8, managed to line up interviews for all of them (3 on the same day). What are people lacking so bad on their resume? And I’m not even following up on my application with these companies.
