I binged watched your videos before an interview I had about 3 week ago, internal position. I was offered the position this past Tuesday ….thank you for all you do!!! I suffer from anxiety really bad , but preparing help me stay calm.
OMG CONGRATS! 🎉 💜
OMG CONGRATULATIONS 😍
Awesome! How has the position been going for you?
Congrats - it's ok to have anxiety - society tries to make it feel illegal but it's perfectly normal and things like 20mins of a morning walk, 4 rounds of wim hof breathing, and a cold shower can help ward it off. Getting enough sleep (or at-least hitting our personal minimum) and having at-least 2 hours to get ready and wake up (that 20min walk during this time can work some true magic better than coffee).
Congratulations!! 🎉 I'm doing the same right now!!!! Wish me luck kind stranger!! 🤞
Acing an interview is all about being a great actor 🤣
Yep. 💯 % True
Agreed 💯%! Sometimes I feel like interviewing is like competing on a reality TV show-you got to learn how to play the game, or lose to someone who does 😉
That’s what I do! Act, Act and more Act!
Literally
It gets so exhausting sometimes!
As an autistic adult struggling in the work force, all these videos have taught me is to lie my ass off in the interview. This whole song and dance is so ableist. Like just ask me about my skills and qualifications as they pertain to the position, please and thank you. It’s none of their businesses whether I have long term goals with the company or not . . .
Great answer tips!! In today's uncertain times, I might also preface these by asserting that, "some of my best career growth opportunities were realized when I remained open-minded & flexible, so my 5 yr goal would include how well I perform in this role and what evolving needs this organization may have along the way."
I like that a lot 🥰
Ooh that's good
“I guess dreams you’ve never had really do come true” is an excellent quote
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for over 8 years. I got a interview for an office intern administration position! I was so scared for the interview because I hadn’t interviewed in so long & haven’t had formal interviews EVER! I was so scared! I watched your videos a week before the interview! They helped so much calm my nerves & give me confidence! I got the internship! Thank you for your informative videos they are so helpful!
I literally crammed to study for an interview using your videos and they LOVED ME!! I’m moving forward with the next steps in the interview process! I’m going to binge some more of your videos because they literally work! Anybody looking in the comments for confirmation, the answer is YES! I have anxiety reallllllly bad and felt super natural after making the interview into more of a conversation and following her videos. I have struggled in the job search after college for yearsssss and this was such a huge help. Thank you 😇
Awesome! 👍
Did you get the job??
Her advice really does help! I'm horrible with job interviews and always get nervous. I watched her videos and took her advice. I got two job offers from it with both high salaries 🙌🏾
@@leahnijssen3645 Sorry for the late response lol Didn’t see this until now. I didn’t get that particular job (was superrrr close and they did love me but went with a more experienced candidate). BUT I do have another job now that I really love.
CALLED OUT lol I have definitely responded to this question with saying I see myself a higher position.
Mentioning that you want to help others really works! I didn’t watch this video before my last job interview for the role I currently have but I mentioned that I wanted to help others like my coworkers and managers have in the past and they told me once I was hired that was one of the things that helped them decide to choose me! Thank you for making these videos, they are always insanely helpful!
I'm just wondering how you memorize all these example answers? It's impressive! I can barely remember my own answers. 😅
Amazing video! Thank you for providing SO much value every single week.
Called out...😩 my second round interview is tomorrow and I've been preparing all week and I'm still so nervous.
I hear you. It's been a long time since I've been asked that question and with interviews coming up, I'm trying to craft a good answer. I'm sure with this video, you'll go great!!
Thank you very much for posting this video, Madeline.
It is the one interview question I can never get right.
I will use these techniques to improve my answer to this question in future interviews.
Just want to say I watched a few of your videos before my phone interview today and I killed it! They want to move along with the process!
I´ve spent hours watching these videos, then I watch them again, I rehearse in front of a mirror, Madeline I´m sending you an Amazon gift card when I nail my next dream job ;)
Just wanna said that I get a job offer and really appreciated you making so many interview questions which are so beneficial to me. I learned a lot and please keep it up for making those videos ! Once again thank you!
Thanks to your videos I felt so confident during the interview yesterday!!! ❤
They didn't ask me this particular question but it will be helpful for the next round! :)
Just wanted to say thank you. After watching a lot of your videos and preparing for my interview using the star method, I nailed it. Awaiting the hiring process now.
I watched all your videos I could almost a year ago and helped me get my current Job! I currently have a interview with the same company to become a team lead!! So rewatching and learning
Definitely, my answer is "buy a horse", that's the perfect answer. I am not gonna pretend i didn't need this video
Thank you for all your videos. Watched many of them for the last 2 months preparing for interviews. Start a new job in a few weeks, same company, thanks to all of your wonderful tips.
Your videos are so insanely helpful I have watched almost all of them. Thank you so much!
Your videos are SO helpful and I really appreciate the time you put into them to help us all greatly succeed at rocking these interviews! I just wish I could be as articulate as you in answering different questions, you’re so good at at! 😊
Madeline, you are doing a fantastic job helping us become better prepared for those dreaded job interviews!
However, with your help, they won't feel as dreaded anymore!
Keep it coming, and thank you!👍♥️
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for the nice comment
Thank you so much for the tips regarding interviews. I watched all the videos from the Playlist you posted, and I followed the guidelines and tips you provided. Now I received a call from the employer stating that I am through the next round which is meeting with the director. Yes I am excited but nervous of what might he ask me?
CALLED OUT! Last time I was asked this question, I definitely said I wanted the interviewers job. Fortunately, I still got the job that I was interviewing for but I see how it was risky.
Awesome video, thanks Madeline!
Thank you so much for your videos!!! They’re life changing!!! 🙏🏻
Had an interview recently and thought I should be honest that as a new grad I am somewhat open to either design or development. But then I realized I should have just said development since I don't know if they do design
My interview is today - I have been binging all of these videos! I’ll update if I get the job! 😅
Hi Madeline! I just wanted to thank you for all your tips. I got the job that I really wanted and I couldn't have done it without you! Appreciate a lot. Have a good one!
Yay!👍
Applied to a job, took some tips to get through the recruiter interview. Friend has the inside scoop and told me they want to schedule me for an in person interview, gona watch some more of your videos to try and nail this job
Oh gosh, lady, you rock! I’m surprised the channel isn’t bigger!
After I’ve started watching your videos, using tips such as “tool box” - I’ve actually got happily hired after A YEAR of search in a country which language I don’t speak! Sounds off I assume, I was sceptical myself reading such comments back then. But hey! If you’ve got it - this is not magic, that’s using the tools, because no one teaches us how to do this.
Thank you for what you do!
Yay, fantastic!👍
You are the one in UA-cam who gives logical, pratical and functional tips.
I’m interviewing for a new type of job for me and after seeing all the great feedback I feel excited about this interview.
You are a life saver. Thank you SO much.
This is the best answer to this question I've seen so far on UA-cam. Thank you!
Just quickly came here to say that I GOT AN AMAZING JOB WITH BEYOND AMAZING PAY!! Thank you so much for all your tips, I binged watched all your videos and was able to ace my interviews! Thank you again, so grateful for this channel 😭
YAY!!!!
I love the question "How will this role grow your career in a direction you are proud of?" I may start asking that as an interviewer.
💯💯💯
This question came up in my interview and I hit a home run. Thanks for helping me get a great paying job.
Hey, what was the job? :-)
I honestly tell them I'd like to see myself in charge of xx project or improving my skill so I can really level up. Seems to work most of the time. Though the more senior I've gotten the one thing that's made interviews harder is giving presentations. If it's based on my technical skills fine, but I recently interviewed with Dentsu and they're like "do a presentation about a past accomplishment or your work" which is very obscure and they only give you 30 minutes so you really have to keep it around 20 and leave 10 for questions to end on time.
Does this apply to minimum wage jobs as well? As a college student the employer knows that I won't be there forever, but how do I work them into my plans
I totally bombed this question. I made it to the next round, but I don’t know if it’s because they are just keeping me on board
Called out. Freelancer path is a common trap for salesforce admins that I coach!
I absolutely love your content!!
I am 100% binge watching your videos to prep for an possible interviews
Thank you for providing this amazing tip #selfmademillennial ! P.S. What kind of camera, and equipment, and software do you use to make your videos? They are SO crisp and clear! #loveit
HAY PEEPS, IT'S HERE! Job Interview Secrets: Ace your next interview! Here are the Top 10 most asked job interview questions with the best answers. It’s the “Job Interview Secrets” Ebook:www.madelinemann.com/job-interview-secrets
Called out!😂❤️
"Called Out" I've mentioned both a much higher position and self-employment in answer to this question. I actually did get the job once in spite of that, but I shouldn't have, as it didn't work out for me or the company.
HI Madeline what do you think to take on job interview laptop or others helpful data on paper etc... to stand out myself better and what it could be...
Called Out!
Called out !
Called out!!
Called out. My go-to was “Getting my Ph.D”
Omg great tip
Should we even be asked such a question in today's market?
All one should have to do is cite COVI19
"Well with the market instability, and a worldwide pandemic going on, trying to predict any part of the future in 5 years is foolish."
Called out, definitely. I have a hard time not saying "I don't know" or talking about my creative interests when I've been asked this question. I think in my community a lot of people are struggling artists, so talking about creative goals is less of a "death sentence" around here. That said, it certainly doesn't help land a job in retail when you basically tell people that in five years you want to be an artist instead. XD
Lie
Yep, just give them what they want to hear! And do it convincingly!👍
Called out. Anyway, her TTA ratio is impressive.
CALLED OUT
called out!
Called out 😂😂😂
I’ve seen this kind of thing happen, but not to the same extend. Maybe a waste of about 20% of the work week on agile meetings, which is already unacceptable.
But most places I’ve worked have been the opposite, lots of underestimation and doing 120% - 200% of the working hours in a week.
I’m making a map with all notes for when I need this when I know what careeer I want to follow
Way to prepare!
what if you're a teen going into an entry level hospitality/retail job? do i tell them about what i what i want to study in the future, or pretend that i want to stay in retail/hospitality?
so if i’m actually using my position as a way to get experience for a career shift… how do i answer this question without making it seem like i will leave?
to illustrate, i went to school for theater but have only worked in customer service. i am now shifting to work towards becoming an art (specifically drama) therapist. i want to get a job as a receptionist in a healthcare office to gain experience working with patients, while also utilizing and honing my customer relations skills. i feel like it would be helpful for them to know why i am interested in a position in healthcare without ANY experience in healthcare whatsoever.
Called out 😂
I applied for a job with the company I already work for. HR called me and I was expecting him to just schedule an interview. To my surprise, it was a preliminary interview and I was blindsided by this question. I think I bombed it. I told him I didn’t really have a plan and that I was mostly content with my current situation. Womp womp.
I hate how interview tips are literally just, "lie about it"
Called out 😅
I couldn't figure out who you remind me of... Then I got it, Charlie from Supernatural!! :D I love Felicia Day 😊
Called OUT 😅
5:25 is a great screen shot
Answer the question honestly. If that gets you eliminated, good! It's not the right company for you to work at anyway.
Convincing them that the position is the next logical step for you is good advice. Provided it actually is the next logical step. Deceiving them is bad for everyone.
Human resources people are such morons. They asked my 75 year old father where he sees himself in 5 years. What's he supposed to say? He's not looking to move up the ladder, he just wants extra money. In 5 years he's either going to be doing the exact same thing, or he will be completely retired and home relaxing. That is, if he's even still alive at that point in time. Of course we're all hoping he will still be alive and well, but we like to keep it real!
No, no ain't keeping it real.
Keeping it real is - giving them what they want to hear.
Play the game.
Frankly, I don't even think you have to believe what you are saying, just say it with confidence!
And I have zero qualms about saying here what I really feel because if 98 percent of us tell them our true feelings - we will never get hired anywhere in this country. Lol
Yet we take those bloody jobs and we bust our a$$ess for a dog bone in return, while making the employers billions of bloody dollars every year. Just take that thug Bezos for example...
Ok, back to your sentiment:
I have a hunch they ask this question because they HAVE TO.
IMO, HR are also playing the game of asking things they don't really care about, but they are expected to ask as they follow their script.
So, as long as you actually GIVE AN (DECENT) ANSWER, and won't sabotage yourself by giving a dumb answer - you will be ok, even at 75 y.o.
Just play the game, don't take it too seriously, only be serious enough about your preparation to make the process less painful for yourself and, ultimately, successful!
Of course, age discrimination is another very real problem!
Don't say "Doing your wife", Don't say "Doing your wife", Don't say "Doing your wife"...
Called out
Can you come up with an example for an entry level receptionist position please?
Question. Job interview coming up, in this age of Covid, shake hands or not. If not, whats a good way to approach this age old custom??
I've had several interviews recently. No handshakes. Interviewers never initiated this either. All practiced distancing, masks, etc. Use nonverbals, such as eye contact, head nod, lean forward, etc
Much appreciated
called out
"Most likely as the CEO of a new subsidiary. The estimate is that business is going to develop and accelerate a new growth subsector within the next 2 to 4 years."
why cant interviews ever be funny i have been tempted so many times to say I wanna be a billionaire in the next 5 years.
Am I called out? , In regards to be if I were committed, I said I going through that law firms training programme would give me skills needed to become a great partner and hopeful expand that firms influence in my home country in Ghana
Almost First!!!
😄😄
it's such a cringey question where the honest answer will make the employer scoff. which is "well hopefully with you if you raise by wages with market and promote me in due time but realistically im either gonna be moving on by then or let go. so many employers don't like to keep employees that long.
What if you are nearing the end of your career and don’t have any plans other than to retire after you’ve spent time in this role.
fullfill the top on your field in this company and being a mentor and an adviser for new generations
Damn i made some of the mistakes lol
I think it’s the easiest one probably Cause I’m still a teen though so In 5 years ima be graduating college going back to school to get my masters😭
I really dont see anything wrong with telling them you want a higher role
Wish I watched this before 12😂😭
CALLED OUT :(. I hate hate hate this question!
“Called out”😬
Started talking about my stocks journey and shoe and clothes hustle and how I would like to make a business out of it one day and just gain skills in all fields of life so I'm never behind
You forgot the answer "inside you"
nobody has time unfortunately now a days to watch a long video. Time is money, isn`t it? So try to keep it short and to the point.
The most stupid question
So fake
I love your videos normally but the first example answer sounded like the fakest thing I’ve ever heard from anybody alive or robotic.
Are people actually dumb enough to make these mistakes? 🤣🤣🤣 I feel fucking great. I take it today's interview went great.
No, they aren't dumb if they make these mistakes the first time. Because NOBODY is born knowing or taught how to play this game. So, they are simply being honest-- and not hired!
They will, however, be dumb if they continue making the same mistakes.
So, did you get that job?
I suppose, Nah?
Irritating and false.
Called out!
