    Watching this made me think of my pass interviews and how screwed up that was 😂. I was still lucky enough to get the job 😂. Now to another career journey in life. This will be a big one 🙏

    Can you make a video about looking for jobs with a disability? I'm on the autism spectrum so sometimes things like modulating tone and body language in job interviews are tricky. Thanks!

    Thanks JT.. made the mistake of not writing it down and rehearsing over and over. I agree that when you’re delivery is smooth and confident people want you on their team when you can convey who you are and what value you bring.

    I found your question on telling Me About Yourself during the past interview I've found it for the interview to realize my knowledge and work-related experience and how I handle certain situations in my work experience on various job sites.

      Katy Gonzalez you don’t need a lot of experience to give a great response. I think WorkItDaily does a great job of stressing the importance of your brand - it’s one approach of many but a good one and if you stick to that, you can create a great response.

      I agree with 101 Mentor. There are plenty of ways to showcase your related experiences- internships, playing on a sports team, writing for the school newspaper. Think of any extracurricular activity and you can use that to build upon and talk about yourself. Good luck with your job search.

    I'm so lost on what to say. I've been unemployed for 5 months. "What do you do?" I can't say, "Nothing. I'm unemployed." Before this, I spent 1.5 years working for a publishing company that ripped people off. I did horribly there because I wasn't willing to scam people. I couldn't take it anymore. I called in so often, I figured I'd get fired soon, anyways, so one morning I just snapped and quit and it was the best day ever! I'm applying for retail/customer service jobs, like grocery stores, Target, etc. I have 8 years of experience, but 6 of them are 2011 and older.
    What can my "brand" be?

    How do you answer this as a fresh graduate? In an interview for your first job?

    • @MastertheJobSearch
      @MastertheJobSearch 4 роки тому +4

      If you've never had any work experience, talk about other skills. If you are a new graduate, you can talk about internships or extracurricular activities where you've gained skills. You can also talk about how you can add value to the company based on something you did in your background- maybe you've traveled a lot. That's great if you are applying for a job at a hotel or travel agency. Maybe you've volunteer coached a child's sports team. That is useful for the sports field, working in schools, working in hospitals where you have to deal with people that need extra hand-holding and care. There are plenty of ways to talk about skills and experiences even if you've never worked a day in your life! Good luck. :)
