    I find it ironic that they want someone trustworthy with a high degree of integrity yet expect candidates to lie during an interview in order to hear what they want to hear.

    Your recommended answer is legit true in my case lol. I've been chewed out by my lead before for putting too much effort, and consequently time, to improve the quality of the product, rather than just half-ass it to present to the client asap

    My only true weakness is not being able to say no, I feel and obligation to work, and if there is any job I can help in I will stay until job is done or I’m no longer needed, I have never turned down one day of overtime I have lost friends and family does not talk to me because of it, I have missed out on weddings, birthdays, graduations, because I put my job above all, I’m going to be 26 in October and I have been a rotating equipment mechanic since I was 19, a apprentice from time I was 18…. I have learned so much and I’m a lead mechanic now, but it really did cost me everything, I have a job interview today at chevron for mechanic role, top pay would be 48 hr in 2 years I am nervous but I really hope I get this, then I can feel like all the sacrifices I made was worth it.

    • @Itsjerrry1
      @Itsjerrry1 2 роки тому +5

      @Smatchet hey man I was top candidate, out of 600 applicants
      I was offered 48hr top pay starting out.. my current job offered to Match that and make me a supervisor, they are paying for my leadership courses and any other training or certification I want.
      I decided to stay to try and get some supervisor experience, so far I like it, it is a little stressful. But it’s experience that doesn’t come by easily.
      The best part is did not burn the bridge with chevron, they told me to give them a call when I’m ready.
      I have the superintendents cellphone number and she keeps in touch from time to time.

Took a bunch of your talking points and applied some modified answers to my last interview. I think it went well. It's a Sunday night right now but I'm HOPING for an offer or, at least, a second interview tomorrow or sometime next week. Thanks so much, my dude.

    I have a video interview tomorrow. I am nervous and yet I feel very qualified for the job. Your videos are helpful. I'll keep you posted.
    UPDATE: I had my video interview and I feel very comfortable with how it went. It ran the full hour.
    They worked a checklist of questions.
    Some where leadership questions, organizing questions and what brought me to this field...
    I can say with some certainty that being genuinely passionate about why you're there is critical.
    Do research on the position.
    Have sensible questions at the end or when appropriate.
    At the end of the interview they explained the next step in the hiring process and what may be expected of me.
    We'll see what happens.
    That reminds me. I need to send a thank you note.

    Just got off a video interview, 4 person panel!
    Was intense but not over whelming as a first 'big boy' job. They asked for 3 professional references, hoping this is a good thing. Wearing a business shirt was a good last minute call.
    My brain is swimming a little bit. Thanks Bill, your videos helped!

    • @TheCompaniesExpert

    Standard is a very ambiguous term especially in a job interview situation + it often draws bad attention rather than good, let them know what you find as a personality trait you are working on to improve and own who you are.

  • @Tobbeh99
    @Tobbeh99 Рік тому +1

    I wonder, how good are these answers to the question:
    Make you're weaknesses feel smaller like: "I'm a little bit shy" (rather than I'm a shy person) or "I'm not that athletic/as athletic as I want to be/not the most athletic person"
    Saying some weakness that is very irrelevant for the job like: "I'm not that good with numbers" (assuming it's a job where you won't work at all with numbers and calculating)
    Saying some skill not required for the job: Like "I don't know Java script" (Assuming you don't have to know Java script for the job)
    I usually try some of these, either downplay my weakness like "I'm a little bit" or try some weakness that doesn't matter for the job. Are these any good?

By that i was devastated bcoz the process takes 1month and some of my application i decided to withdraw so that i tell her that i have no pending application. So telling the truth or exercising your integrity is not the best in answering interview?.

      As I understood it, he means "I am a conflict-prone person. But I am like that because I have high standards, and many people don't understand that". Now if that isn't your weakness, I think it isn't gonna work. However, he supplies what he calls a "template" that you can tailor to your specific weakness.
