In my experience if the interview felt really good it means I won't get an offer. I generally get offers from the interviews that felt the most like a waste of time. I stopped trying to figure out if it went well or not.
Same here! haha! I thought I was the only one! I've noticed that the interviews I prepare the most for, are the ones that tend to go the worse 90% of the time. But the interviews that I felt I totally bombed, more often than not, turn into job offers! 🤣
Ultimately, I think every interview comes down to personality. Most interviewees will have similar qualifications and experience. It's those the interviewer feels a bond or connection with that gets the job.
We once interviewed an intern and yeah all the interns had the same skill set but when we made the final choice we ended up choosing the one who was more energetic and expressive. Deep down I knew that there was this guy with good marks but we still unanimously chose the out spoken one. Funny enough my personality is similar to the guy we rejected but yeah I’m here watching this video after an interview
I dont even rely on the “signs” anymore. Either I get it or I don’t and if I do, I might have some fuzzy feelings on it but nothing is set in stone. I can only hope for the best and know I prepared and gave it my all! This is so I don’t get let down if the outcome doesn’t go as I want it.
I’ve learned over the years…. Nothing is a good sign, nothing means anything except signing your I-9…… then, it’s a good sign and you got the job. Plain and simple.
So 😅I had my interview and so far it went really well took so many tips from your Chanel like sending thank you email and job has recently asked for reference and I’m hopeful this means I got the position 😅 UPDATE: GOT MY DREAM JOB!!!!!!! 😌😌🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 can’t thank this Chanel enough Ms.Mann you are heaven sent for corporate world 🌎
That response is very brutal, as it implies you are hired, however, they gave an implicit lead on instead. As with the other responder, be glad your not their, as this may be indicative of what will happen after you completed all of your hard work. The door. Be glad your not there. You deserve a honest employer, and it sounds like they are anything but. You just may have dodged a waste of time working with them.
I had an interview & it went well, they told me I was a strong candidate. The hiring manager said call the next day and I did but he didn’t answer..two days later finally got in touch with him & I didn’t get the job. Needless to say I felt foolish for assuming I got the position lol
I've had all these signs in an interview, especially the office tour, and then didn't get the job. And the interviewers didn't even respond back to say they weren't taking me on. When I chased them up, the HR person who had been communicating with me had even left the company (which they obviously knew at the time of the interview) so they were never going to tell me until I pursued them. I've learned in subsequent interviews that even the most positive signs don't seem to mean anything.
In regards to number 2, yes! I followed a bunch of your tips and thought the interview went really well, and I even knew someone at the company prior. The recruiter said she really enjoyed talking to me and said I would hear back from her within a week. Then she ghosted me. It hurt because I thought we had a great conversation and felt confident and comfortable during our chat. Oh well.
Be careful about saying you know someone at the company. Years ago, I had a small company that was extremely interested and it really looked like it was just a matter of me deciding if I wanted the job. When I went to return one of their calls, I heard the name of someone on their voicemail system (you know, "for so and so, dial extension 123") who was a guy I worked with at my last job, but he didn't last long there. He was really more of an aquiatance, but I never had any sort of an issue with him and I couldn't imagine he had one with me. At some point I mentioned that I worked with him (more of "hey, small world" thing) , and pretty much after that the trail went completely cold. I'll never know for sure, and I couldn't imagine why he would have sabotgaged the situation, but they pretty much ghosted after that. The timing was so suspicious, I can only guess they asked him about me and his response was not favorable. Also, unless that person got you an interview, they may not be in the standing with the company they think they are and that could affect their willingness to hire you.
Yes I remember interviewers getting tours then later the manager coming around asking people what they thought. Always thought it was kinda unfair because people giving their opinions wasn't interviewing & may have just been jealous of looks
Interestingly enough; I've had all these happen me and still did not get the job - and got ghosted to boot. At the end of the day, and in my experience, interviewing is kind of a crap shoot - you just really don't know. All you can do is put your best foot forward, research the company and ask the appropriate questions. At the end of the day there are soooo many factors at play that you have no control over. I'll give a classic example - years ago I went through an interview process where I thought I did terrible on my first interview - then they called me the next day and flew me out to their location and I interviewed whole day and got the job at the end of the day - I could not believe it. And I was there over 5 years as one of their best account managers.
Yes! I had SIX! SIX!!!! interviews with the same company, which were more like relaxed discussions about my experience and the changes the company was going through (including extreme growth). A few days after the last round, when multiple members of the team offered up their contact emails in case of further questions, I got an auto-rejection email. The recruiter got back saying that feedback was positive, but they'd decided to "go another direction" with the role and hire someone with an entirely different background. My emotions have not recovered from being played with like this! What is going on within the organization when something like this happens?
I watched this right before my interview just for fun. Really did NOT expect any of these to happen to me but SEVEN of them did! Including being introduced to the CEO just because! Then got my offer as soon as I left the building! I know everyone's experience is different. It was just really cool to see these scenarios play out almost identically in my situation :) Thanks for making insightful, encouraging videos, Madeline!
Excellent video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend at last got excellent results with it.
I'm waiting anxiously!! I was an intern at the school, and the HR said 'We'll review your application and get back to you', which doesn't sound promising, but that's what they said during the first round and they immediately called me back for a second round! Everything went really well in both interview rounds. Fingers crossed!!
I remember an interview process with HPE, killed every single one of my interviews. In the last one i was recommended by the previous manager to have an agresive approach and ask for the job at the end of the last interview, I remember i said, "when do I start?" The hiring manager said that was exactly what i was looking for! You nailed it! Yeeehaaw god bless america. And then when i received the call from the recruiter saying that they decided to hire only fresh out of college candidates. 3 months I'll never get back. I DONT TRUST ANYTHING ANYMORE.
I was once in an interview process for 5 or 6 rounds, met senior management, got an office tour but eventually they decided for someone else. The hiring manager was really exited to get me on board but be careful who is taking the decision. You can be LOVED by the hiring manager but if the big boss has a friend, internal connection or simply someone else they like, the CEO will prevail. I was pretty upset about it but now I think it was for the better.
I was in a similar situation. Hiring personnel really liked me but their boss decided I didn't have enough experience. A connection of mine who knew them told me they were disappointed I didn't get picked. Doesn't matter how positive signs may be, you don't know you got the job until the official offer is given.
I love your videos! I have an HR background and have interviewed hundreds of people. However, as a current job seeker I find your suggestions, tips and examples SO helpful right now. Thank you SO much. I love your energy too.
I genuinely enjoy talking to the candidates I have shortlisted and invited for interviews, so that isn't really an indication of anything in itself. But the ones I want on board, I would definitely show them the office and that usually happens at the end of the 2nd interview.
Yes, I was misled badly! I got an email to connect people and my interviewer was attached and sung praises about me and said that she was excited to work with me... later that day they gave the job to someone else.
I've had back to back 2 recruiter's talking about what my responsibilities would be in their respective companies and these are the final rounds. Something in my head says: " you've got the job, buddy!!!! Oh, yeah!!!!" After 2 days of anxiety, I got a call which excited me even more for 5 seconds through the call and it Stopped.... Anxiety vanished... Despair daunted on me!!! On a positive side, I was really glad they contacted me to give me the bad news. And it's awesome when someone does it even though they are uncomfortable with it. I respect that. 🙏 It somewhat consoled me. And the next day I get a call from another employer with a job offer and today was my first day with them and this whole situation played throughout the last two weeks.🙏
Just had an interview, seemed like it went great. I got there way early, the interviewer was very nice and thanked me for that. “Great fantastic etc” because he got to go to his sons game. He said he was impressed and everything was great multiple times. We had a couple good laughs and got along very well. He said the “you’ll be doing this” line if the salary is agreed upon. I mean to me seems cut and dry but hard to know
@@johne153 Thanks for the reply ... I am happy you get the results you are expecting 👍😊😀😀 I am in the phase of "we are interviewing other candidates ...." lets see, .... my interviews went awesome... hoping for the best
A job interview is only aced if you receive a job offer. Everything else is fluff. Getting the job is all that matters. Not being shown the office, nor meeting other team members (who have the job BTW and you're just TRYING to get it). If someone tells you they aced the interview, ask them when their start date is. Most times they didn't ace anything. There are often times you go to an interview and you're dead on arrival because the CIO's son just graduated from college and needs a job. Or your skin tone/voice/gender may have cost you.
Thank you so much Madeline! I have learnt a lot from you. After my 2nd round virtual interview with Directors and Manager, I had the references check. A month later, I had the 3rd Panel virtual interview with 2 senior team members. They really happy about my commute time to the office. On the second day, HR replied my 'Thank you email' said "they were very excited to be interviewing with you! We will be in touch soon!” Now I am waiting for the result. Finger crossed!
The last few months been laid off from Covid has really dwindled my confidence in the job application process. There's only so much constant rejection an entry level candidate can take so I'm really nervous about a current position which I was the first interviewed. Here's to hoping this one's different
@@kellysak114 Fantastic actually...I got the job. This whole thing was an unnecessary long, stranious moment. But it made me research job application content like this to learn how to advertise myself better and now I have a job that I appreciate even more
I am currently looking at a promotion outside of my workplace - I had the first interview, asked for a writing sample and then scheduled for a second interview. These were virtual, but they used terms like “your office”, “your team” etc. a few days later I was asked for references and told they would be in touch after the new year and to have a happy holiday. I can’t help but feel like the interviews went really well, lots of smiles, follow-up questions and words like “impressive”. The second interview ended with a conversation that didn’t seem like part of the interview.
just pointing out no response after a thank you email doesnt always mean much either, sometimes theyre too busy to reply, or sometimes they dont ever feel the need to reply to a thank you email either.
I came to this video to try and calm my nerves from what I thought was a terrible interview performance on my part. Late this afternoon I was invited to complete psychometric testing for the role. I feel relieved that I seem to be moving in the right direction.
I applied for a High School Principal role last summer with a school I will name nameless. I was called the next day after sending my resume for a phone screen. I was asked to come to the school on Saturday, weird. While I was there, I was given a tour of the school and given renovation plans. After that, I wowed the school board. Then got all the way up to the Superintendent. I wasn't offered the role. I believe it is because I am not Catholic, yet they knew this aeons ago. I feel they wasted my time.
Had a pretty good interview last week, its usually a good sign if the interview was scheduled for 45 minutes and ends up going for an hour and 15 minutes. That and it felt more like a conversation/discussion as opposed to a formal interview. I think it helps that I interviewed with them months previously but it was for a different team and they said I would be better for the team I am applying for now and the HR person remembered me and the now hiring manager got that feedback.
A great number of people are in management and HR because they are people oriented, friendly. They know how to make a candidate feel relaxed, confident and at ease. So much so, that you may get the impression the interview went well when it didn’t. There are no cues or indications you got the job because you don’t really have sure way to know what the interviewer is thinking. The CFOs son may already have the job or your race/gender/looks, etc may have lost you the job. Until you have an actual offer, you don’t know how anything went
I’m so happy to watch this video based on the criteria’s I might get my dream job very soon. Thank you so much for all the content in this channel you are so great.
Might not read this but wanted to say thanks. Needed to find a job in under a month and did so with your help and tips. My new job gave me WFH options and a 17k raise. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
Thank you so much for your tips, Self Made Millennial. Your videos are really cool and effective. In fact, I was able to to get a job using your advice.
I just had a 2nd interview with a company im hoping extends an offer. i spent 45 mins on Tuesday speaking with HR, got called back an hour later for the 2nd one.. the 2nd one today.. both of the people who would be my immediate managers. I think we had a great time, they laughed, talking about future growth/how I can grow in the company. Spoke about getting permission to giving me a tour of the site if they move forward then say they're gonna talk to their HR after the interview so. crossing my fingers
I was instructed to provide references after the interview with the recruiter and hiring manager. Except for meeting the director and tour, all these things were on point that happened. I actually learned this role was looking for something else that wasn't in the job description which I already had, leadership experience that many applicants likely lacked. They decided to move on with other candidates after the email and phone calls we had exchanged after the interview.
Hi! I love this video and think that these signs are great, but I'm wondering if you plan to make an updated video that's more geared towards remote work? I have been seeking mainly remote positions, and I think it's even harder to know what kind of signs to look for when you're interviewing in a 100% virtual environment. I appreciate all of your hard work - thank you!
Thank you for amazing tips!! I enjoy watching your videos and it helped me a lot on my interviews. I had an interview today and I have another interview tomorrow too! For the first interview, I felt confident and was able to answer all of their questions. I noticed the hiring manager would smile and nod her head and would say “ oh that’s good” and said I was organized. After answering the questions, she explained to me my job duties, job attire, and things I would have to do before I start working for their company. The interview ended well and I sent an email saying thank you and she sent an email 15 minutes after and thanked me as well and informed me they will be making s decision and notify me soon. What do you think about this? I’m having anxiety right now just thinking about this. Please let me know and thank you!! 😊
I’ve had a tour during my interview. Then after I left I received an email asking for references! I was like cool I know for sure I have it in the bag. So 2 days later I got a call saying all of my references checked out then they requested my immediate supervisor’s email. I provided that and my supervisor said she responded well. Time passed… 8 days later. “We regret to inform you ….” 😑
I've had a job interview where I met their partners for the second time in two different offices across the country and they asked me whether I'd be okay if so and so is on the contract. In addition to that, they asked me whether I'd be committed if they were to give me an offer this month. At the end, no offer.
Point #1 - not all companies give our interviewers information most of the time you only have recruiters email and that recruiter is way too busy to respond to emails as thank you letter or status Part #3 we give all our candidates tour because we want them to calm down before they meet their first panelist Part #4 coordinators job is to work around your schedule it’s their goal to get you to interview for them so they will work around your availability first Part #5 if it goes short you and your interviewers may be super efficient and speak fast or your responses took so long that the interview got extended because they want to ask all of their questions
On two different interviews, I did the first interview and they asked for me to stay a bit longer, while telling the other person they were interviewing that will be in touched. I was then went to an office where I spoke with another person who was basically the supervisor of the department I was applying for. At the second interview, they were basically selling me the position.
I had my interview last week and it's more of a casual conversation than being asked those common interview questions. Not sure if that means any "sign" of a job offer, but I'm still waiting for the results.
Self Made Millennial and update on my job. I’ve got the offer! Just waiting for background check to finish before I’m given a start date. Hoping it finish as quickly as possible!
Same thing happened with me on Friday. My interviewer was talking about favorite tv shows and it was basically a causal conversation. I got a call about the employment application. Is that a sign as well?
My interview was super short, they didn’t look interested at all from like the moment I walked in. They asked me what I did for fun.. I emailed them a thank you letter with an invoice for an hour of my time ..
I remember the first internship interview I did ended with a tour and meeting various colleagues. Got the call the next day that they wanted to hire me. Cant really do this in the virtual interview world anymore though
After my interview two weeks ago, it went really well and all your tips were so helpful that they called me for a second interview. There were two new people that interviewed me and the other person was the same one from my first interview so i hear from them in a few weeks. in the second interview, i would ask them does that answer your question after they asked me some and then would ask them do you have any questions for me ended up having a nice discussion. they used you many times in the interview. all these things you said some of them did happen and it was really nice. they could tell how passionate i was and my work experience as well. some questions were tough where i tripped up a bit and kept saying the same thing over again due to being nervous but i kept pushing through until the end. thank you for your tips they really helped me
The office tour or in my industry lab tour after the interview is not only standard it is a part of the interview that not many interviewees know about. It is usually done by someone you would work with on a daily basis. They will look for enthusiasm and whether you ask the right questions about the place. It is also a great time to get the interviewee into a more relaxed post-interview state of mind and then see their true persona aka whether they put on a mask in the interview to appear better. You might have done well in the interview, but the tour could cost you the job. We had someone on the tour seriously ask the junior staff how they were coping with having a female boss... Thanks, that's a no from us.
Yeah, this sign sounds good on the surface, but I have heard numerous companies say that showing a candidate around and even introducing you to a few random people who happen to be in the area is a part of the interview and it's done with every candidate. I've gotten quite a few "tours" where I didn't receive an offer, and gotten offers from places where I never received a tour. I wouldn't put too much stock into this one.
Ive noticed that one as well. Especially at places like retail. And a lot of times you are talking to someone out of state over the phone or over video. I wouldnt put much stock in that one.
I once got passed all stages before the negotiation of the terms of the offer before I got rejected for failing a personality threshold test. It was such a good opportunity that it threw me into a slump and I’m still recovering from it :/
Recently, I have given one interview at company after finishing interview I got mail from Hr that "we will give you update next week once director come from holiday" In next week I got updated email from Hr saying that " We are review a few other candidates for the position and hope to present an offer early next week. You are one of our top candidates so we will be in touch soon." Does it indicate good sign?
After only working 3 years I switched to this one: I know I got the job after the pay check has come in. Till that happens, I'm not done applying :) already been played with too much!
I recently had an interview for an internal position for my current company, and was offered a change to job shadow the position I interviewed for. The interview was also with the CEO, COO, building director, and HR head. So I’m hoping this means good things!
Hello, here is my situation. I received and immediate response for an interview from the human resources manager. She stated asking me questions on my experience. I answered all the questions perfectly. She warmed up and the interview was long she also smiled when I answered the questions. She told me the salary range, the benefits, and all the upcoming events with the company. At last, she told me she did not want to taken long do to expect and response back by Friday. My interview was on Thursday. She also stated that she and they coo of them company will make a decision based on the interview notes. When I said I will be looking forward to your email she smiled.
In my second technical interview he said “ I like your answers and I will share the positive feedback about you with management” now it’s been two days, no response yet.
Thank you so much for the valuable video. I had my interview with a government agency today, they said they will make a decision today, (but)will give me feedback late next week. ??? 2. They asked if I will have time for coffee catch up with team leader if successful. 3. They asked if I have left all the references contacts. 3 they asked my notice time. 4. Interview lasted 1 hours. 5. Never mention salary. How likely they they going to hire me?
I was literally watching this after final panel interview 90min ago for manager position and received the below email from hiring manager not sure what to think but it would be cold blooded to not offer me the job now right? There were 2 other candidates. : Great to connect with you again and right back at you! We were the glasses gang today. You did a great job, and the Team agrees there could be a good fit here. Give us a day or two to circle up on feedback. There might be a couple of questions we circle back with, but we're getting close. Appreciate your time and commitment to the process!
I just had an interview today. seemed to go really, but it was virtual and the only thing on this list that applied to my experiernce is that the interview went long. It literally went "sorry this is going over the allotted time, I'm really enjoying our conversation. do you mind going over a bit?" - guess we'll see if get an offer or not!
If the hiring manager mentioned, "my co-workers and I discuss a lot and chose you." He also asked me to come back to the store next week again. He will notify me which day to come. Does it mean I got the job?
What if one of the interviewers from the panel, upon completion of the interview, decides to walk with you until you leave the building and starts asking you questions like how long have you worked for such and such etc. almost like getting more of a feel for you. Usually most people that would interview a person don’t normally walk a person to the door and sign them out on the sign in and out clipboard by the security guards. She was very nice so just found it interesting
I had an interview 6 days ago. My interview last for one hour 30 minute, they talk about salary, working condition, and how long I need to get notified. They even talk about second interview with manager but since then I didn't hear anything from them :(
I had an interview today and used a lot of your tips! It was 10 situational questions that I used the PAR method with. For some of the responses, I got some great praise and at the end of the interview, the hiring manager said that he felt like he got a good understanding of my work experience/ ethic. Hiring multiple people for this position. Do these seem like good signs to you?
Soooo I recently had an interview for a promotion and already the first two things happened. The interviewer actually said “When you get this job…” and then laughed a little and tried to correct herself. Oh and tomorrow I have a second interview. So I passed!
Just finished my first interview after my graduation, I am not sure what’s going on next. They did asked me when I can start and they will let me know in next week, but I don’t have a such confidence in getting this position. I am anxious now. Wish me luck!
The engineering interviews are insane. Being in software since 1986 I have a very low tolerance for coding tests at this point considering I automate tests. It isn't rocket science. I had a 2nd round interview today that I felt very good about judging by the the reactions of the two engineers I interviewed with. Hopefully it's a 3rd round or an offer.
Had one interview where they asked for references (one of the signs). They reached out to my references with apparently nothing but great things to say about me. Well I followed up a week later and they said they were still processing candidates’ referrals. Cool. Fast forward to 2 weeks later, I didn’t get the job. I mean, it’s frustrating to hear this hollow praise just to be rejected.
The best one I ever had was they gave me the offer, had me fill out all of the paperwork plus drug test, and then called me a matter of days before my start date and stated they weren't going to be hiring anymore. I was pissed and my sass came out and I was like "You realize I put my two weeks in" this lady had the nerve to say "you put your two weeks in before you started?" Like bro, when else am I going to put it in? Since then, whenever a friend is looking for a job I tell them not to apply there (won't say it here though) and those that don't listen that go in there end up being miserable and I have to hold my tongue to not say I told them so.
If there are multiple interviews I feel like these signs may be more in the last interview and not necessarily the first or second. I’ve had them do most of these in the 1st phone interview before even asking me any questions as a formality.
My husband had an interview, where he said it went well, and they started with the " you" talk. Then told him they'll likely call him next week. Well, they ghosted him and picked another applicant. They never said a word to him again.
Hey MadeIine, great video as usual! Watched it before and after my interview (thanks for the awesome content on interviewing too - helped a lot!). I would love to get your take on my current situation! I interviewed on Friday, and at the end, the hiring manager said she has to connect with the search team and then HR, but that I should hear back within the next week or two. On Monday, I received an update email in which she thanked me for coming in, said the whole team was impressed with my interview, and hoped/asked if I was still interested in the position. I responded, and later that day, I got an auto email from HireRight for a bg check. Today, she checked in again and said I was a finalist and should complete the bg check and that she'd be in touch soon. Is it pretty safe to assume that I will get the job, contingent on the results?! The word "finalist" is throwing me off!! Like, are they still considering other people or can she just not give the impression that I've gotten it yet. Would love to hear your thoughts!!
Live the content as always, but I keep looking in the comments and descriptions of your videos and can't find the answer: any chance for a link make/model of your chair? It looks fantastic and the exact style I need for my home office.
I dont trust people when someone is smiling at me interview. When I see a smile everything is straight up lie. I often go to job interviews with their job description to help them to get me hired becuase they never ask what specifically what they want out of me for the position or see what my skills on what I bring to the table.
I got two offers back to back, one was a casual interview and they told that I am a perfect fit for the role and I got the job whereas the other job interview was strict and had rounds of technical interview and coding tests and I cracked it somehow and got that offer as well. It’s tough to read the signs for sure!
It's been over a month at a hospital system in my state, I was informed by the recruiter that I did really well, & that they're working diligently to get me in. Strangly enough, they didn't ask for references during the Zoom interview. I sent several follow up emails & the answer was the same 'I did great & they like me, my info is still sitting on the director's desk'. It's been just over a month & no offer. I sent one more quick follow up email a few days ago & no reply from the recruiter. This hospital is famous for taking a long time to make an offer. But when should I feel like it's time to just give up that I'll ever get an offer? I'm in a bit of a time crunch.
Should make a video on virtual interview. I just finished my 4th interview with a company and it was a panel interview on zoom and was broken up into 3 interviews each lasting only 30 minutes each. Hopefully hearing some good news early next week but had zero idea what to expect and with the short time of each interview it was tough to answer all questions and I wasn’t given much time to ask questions to the interviewer so didn’t get a total feel on how each went.
My job interview yesterday went so bad... none of those "tell us about yourself/ strength or weaknes" just straight into the techniques, which I knew only two out of 4. Lol literally 4 questions. But one thing they seemes impressed with were my questions at the end (questions that show I researched the department) But we'll see, Government jobs can take months to reply
Had an interview last week and I felt terrible about it because the start was rough. However it ended up being two hours long and the interviewer did use the word you in some parts of it. However the person I did interview with was the CEO. Waiting to see what ends up happening now.
Exactly what happened to me years ago, told me i definitely had the job and didn't get jack!! Kept calling lol, everytime I called it was some hold up with human resources then i finally said F them
My second interview was not really an interview, the managing director told me that he just want to see me in person and my character. Just yesterday actually and I got 5/8. I hope it's a good sign.

One time, an interviewer gave me a hug after we talked, but I didn't get an offer! Led on indeed.
Taylor Howard oooh mixed signals for sure.

Burn the office down
Wtf so inappropriate and unprofessional lol
@@JackieCali exactly what my reaction was 😂
In my experience if the interview felt really good it means I won't get an offer. I generally get offers from the interviews that felt the most like a waste of time. I stopped trying to figure out if it went well or not.
I thought I was the only one , if I don’t try hard in interviews I get them , but when I do try hard I don’t get the job
@@robertewing6762 : couldn’t agree more!
Same here! haha! I thought I was the only one! I've noticed that the interviews I prepare the most for, are the ones that tend to go the worse 90% of the time. But the interviews that I felt I totally bombed, more often than not, turn into job offers! 🤣

Ultimately, I think every interview comes down to personality. Most interviewees will have similar qualifications and experience. It's those the interviewer feels a bond or connection with that gets the job.
i hope this is true
We once interviewed an intern and yeah all the interns had the same skill set but when we made the final choice we ended up choosing the one who was more energetic and expressive. Deep down I knew that there was this guy with good marks but we still unanimously chose the out spoken one. Funny enough my personality is similar to the guy we rejected but yeah I’m here watching this video after an interview
I dont even rely on the “signs” anymore. Either I get it or I don’t and if I do, I might have some fuzzy feelings on it but nothing is set in stone. I can only hope for the best and know I prepared and gave it my all! This is so I don’t get let down if the outcome doesn’t go as I want it.
I’ve learned over the years…. Nothing is a good sign, nothing means anything except signing your I-9…… then, it’s a good sign and you got the job. Plain and simple.
So 😅I had my interview and so far it went really well took so many tips from your Chanel like sending thank you email and job has recently asked for reference and I’m hopeful this means I got the position 😅
UPDATE: GOT MY DREAM JOB!!!!!!! 😌😌🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 can’t thank this Chanel enough Ms.Mann you are heaven sent for corporate world 🌎
I was SO lead on. They told me to start looking for apartments in the area. And then I didn't get the job.
That’s brutal 😔
Me'tooo
This one hurt just reading it. I hope you found a better job.
That response is very brutal, as it implies you are hired, however, they gave an implicit lead on instead. As with the other responder, be glad your not their, as this may be indicative of what will happen after you completed all of your hard work. The door. Be glad your not there. You deserve a honest employer, and it sounds like they are anything but. You just may have dodged a waste of time working with them.
daaamn
I had an interview & it went well, they told me I was a strong candidate. The hiring manager said call the next day and I did but he didn’t answer..two days later finally got in touch with him & I didn’t get the job. Needless to say I felt foolish for assuming I got the position lol
The Hiring manager told me "I'll definitely contact your recruiter immediately ." I got a job offer in one hour.
Yes.This very true.
Don't they need to contact references.
@@Crystalbomb321 A staffing agency found me this job. They contacted references first before they even represented me.
I've had all these signs in an interview, especially the office tour, and then didn't get the job. And the interviewers didn't even respond back to say they weren't taking me on. When I chased them up, the HR person who had been communicating with me had even left the company (which they obviously knew at the time of the interview) so they were never going to tell me until I pursued them. I've learned in subsequent interviews that even the most positive signs don't seem to mean anything.
In regards to number 2, yes! I followed a bunch of your tips and thought the interview went really well, and I even knew someone at the company prior. The recruiter said she really enjoyed talking to me and said I would hear back from her within a week. Then she ghosted me. It hurt because I thought we had a great conversation and felt confident and comfortable during our chat. Oh well.
rejection is just redirection! I hope you got a better offer
Be careful about saying you know someone at the company. Years ago, I had a small company that was extremely interested and it really looked like it was just a matter of me deciding if I wanted the job. When I went to return one of their calls, I heard the name of someone on their voicemail system (you know, "for so and so, dial extension 123") who was a guy I worked with at my last job, but he didn't last long there. He was really more of an aquiatance, but I never had any sort of an issue with him and I couldn't imagine he had one with me. At some point I mentioned that I worked with him (more of "hey, small world" thing) , and pretty much after that the trail went completely cold. I'll never know for sure, and I couldn't imagine why he would have sabotgaged the situation, but they pretty much ghosted after that. The timing was so suspicious, I can only guess they asked him about me and his response was not favorable. Also, unless that person got you an interview, they may not be in the standing with the company they think they are and that could affect their willingness to hire you.
Tip 5# overtime is not a sign, I had the longest interview +1hs then wasn’t selected for a second round ! So it’s not always true !
The office tour is also a good way for them to see how you interact with some of your possible coworkers!
Joke De Swert very true! 😄
I did an office tour, but I wasnt hired :(
@@mojo0risin me too! wish u all the best, anyway :) I hope u had already found your dream job. If not, be patient you'll get it.
Yes I remember interviewers getting tours then later the manager coming around asking people what they thought. Always thought it was kinda unfair because people giving their opinions wasn't interviewing & may have just been jealous of looks
I hope you all have great interviews and bag the job you’ve been wanting ❤️
Interestingly enough; I've had all these happen me and still did not get the job - and got ghosted to boot. At the end of the day, and in my experience, interviewing is kind of a crap shoot - you just really don't know. All you can do is put your best foot forward, research the company and ask the appropriate questions. At the end of the day there are soooo many factors at play that you have no control over. I'll give a classic example - years ago I went through an interview process where I thought I did terrible on my first interview - then they called me the next day and flew me out to their location and I interviewed whole day and got the job at the end of the day - I could not believe it. And I was there over 5 years as one of their best account managers.
Yes! I had SIX! SIX!!!! interviews with the same company, which were more like relaxed discussions about my experience and the changes the company was going through (including extreme growth). A few days after the last round, when multiple members of the team offered up their contact emails in case of further questions, I got an auto-rejection email. The recruiter got back saying that feedback was positive, but they'd decided to "go another direction" with the role and hire someone with an entirely different background. My emotions have not recovered from being played with like this! What is going on within the organization when something like this happens?
Oh my! Shoulda got a check after that many interviews
I feel you. I went through the same shit.
I watched this right before my interview just for fun. Really did NOT expect any of these to happen to me but SEVEN of them did! Including being introduced to the CEO just because! Then got my offer as soon as I left the building!
I know everyone's experience is different. It was just really cool to see these scenarios play out almost identically in my situation :) Thanks for making insightful, encouraging videos, Madeline!
Wow tremendous! So happy for you and it’s cool to hear how this played out!
Excellent video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend at last got excellent results with it.
I'm waiting anxiously!! I was an intern at the school, and the HR said 'We'll review your application and get back to you', which doesn't sound promising, but that's what they said during the first round and they immediately called me back for a second round! Everything went really well in both interview rounds. Fingers crossed!!
I remember an interview process with HPE, killed every single one of my interviews. In the last one i was recommended by the previous manager to have an agresive approach and ask for the job at the end of the last interview, I remember i said, "when do I start?" The hiring manager said that was exactly what i was looking for! You nailed it! Yeeehaaw god bless america. And then when i received the call from the recruiter saying that they decided to hire only fresh out of college candidates. 3 months I'll never get back. I DONT TRUST ANYTHING ANYMORE.
I was once in an interview process for 5 or 6 rounds, met senior management, got an office tour but eventually they decided for someone else. The hiring manager was really exited to get me on board but be careful who is taking the decision. You can be LOVED by the hiring manager but if the big boss has a friend, internal connection or simply someone else they like, the CEO will prevail. I was pretty upset about it but now I think it was for the better.
I was in a similar situation. Hiring personnel really liked me but their boss decided I didn't have enough experience. A connection of mine who knew them told me they were disappointed I didn't get picked. Doesn't matter how positive signs may be, you don't know you got the job until the official offer is given.
I love your videos! I have an HR background and have interviewed hundreds of people. However, as a current job seeker I find your suggestions, tips and examples SO helpful right now. Thank you SO much. I love your energy too.
I genuinely enjoy talking to the candidates I have shortlisted and invited for interviews, so that isn't really an indication of anything in itself. But the ones I want on board, I would definitely show them the office and that usually happens at the end of the 2nd interview.
Yes, I was misled badly! I got an email to connect people and my interviewer was attached and sung praises about me and said that she was excited to work with me... later that day they gave the job to someone else.
I've had back to back 2 recruiter's talking about what my responsibilities would be in their respective companies and these are the final rounds.
Something in my head says: " you've got the job, buddy!!!! Oh, yeah!!!!"
After 2 days of anxiety, I got a call which excited me even more for 5 seconds through the call and it Stopped....
Anxiety vanished...
Despair daunted on me!!!
On a positive side, I was really glad they contacted me to give me the bad news. And it's awesome when someone does it even though they are uncomfortable with it. I respect that. 🙏
It somewhat consoled me. And the next day I get a call from another employer with a job offer and today was my first day with them and this whole situation played throughout the last two weeks.🙏
Just had an interview, seemed like it went great. I got there way early, the interviewer was very nice and thanked me for that. “Great fantastic etc” because he got to go to his sons game. He said he was impressed and everything was great multiple times. We had a couple good laughs and got along very well. He said the “you’ll be doing this” line if the salary is agreed upon.
I mean to me seems cut and dry but hard to know
That’s good to hear! Though you’re right, it’s tough to say.
Hi John its 5 months now , what happened next?
Shreyas Subhedar I did get the job! Offer came a week after interview.
@@johne153 Thanks for the reply ...
I am happy you get the results you are expecting 👍😊😀😀
I am in the phase of "we are interviewing other candidates ...." lets see, .... my interviews went awesome...
hoping for the best
@@johne153 Hi John,
I got the results last week & I got the job ..
thanks @Self Made Millennial for this video and John as well.
A job interview is only aced if you receive a job offer. Everything else is fluff. Getting the job is all that matters. Not being shown the office, nor meeting other team members (who have the job BTW and you're just TRYING to get it).
If someone tells you they aced the interview, ask them when their start date is. Most times they didn't ace anything. There are often times you go to an interview and you're dead on arrival because the CIO's son just graduated from college and needs a job. Or your skin tone/voice/gender may have cost you.
Finally someone speaking facts
This is so true
Love when you said the only true indicator is a written offer. You’re a real one
I have done maybe 10 interviews these past few weeks and it’s exhausting I wanna say forget this
Thank you so much Madeline! I have learnt a lot from you.
After my 2nd round virtual interview with Directors and Manager, I had the references check. A month later, I had the 3rd Panel virtual interview with 2 senior team members. They really happy about my commute time to the office. On the second day, HR replied my 'Thank you email' said "they were very excited to be interviewing with you! We will be in touch soon!”
Now I am waiting for the result. Finger crossed!
The last few months been laid off from Covid has really dwindled my confidence in the job application process. There's only so much constant rejection an entry level candidate can take so I'm really nervous about a current position which I was the first interviewed. Here's to hoping this one's different
How did it go?
@@kellysak114 Fantastic actually...I got the job. This whole thing was an unnecessary long, stranious moment. But it made me research job application content like this to learn how to advertise myself better and now I have a job that I appreciate even more
I am currently looking at a promotion outside of my workplace - I had the first interview, asked for a writing sample and then scheduled for a second interview. These were virtual, but they used terms like “your office”, “your team” etc. a few days later I was asked for references and told they would be in touch after the new year and to have a happy holiday. I can’t help but feel like the interviews went really well, lots of smiles, follow-up questions and words like “impressive”. The second interview ended with a conversation that didn’t seem like part of the interview.
just pointing out no response after a thank you email doesnt always mean much either, sometimes theyre too busy to reply, or sometimes they dont ever feel the need to reply to a thank you email either.
I came to this video to try and calm my nerves from what I thought was a terrible interview performance on my part. Late this afternoon I was invited to complete psychometric testing for the role. I feel relieved that I seem to be moving in the right direction.
I applied for a High School Principal role last summer with a school I will name nameless. I was called the next day after sending my resume for a phone screen. I was asked to come to the school on Saturday, weird. While I was there, I was given a tour of the school and given renovation plans. After that, I wowed the school board. Then got all the way up to the Superintendent. I wasn't offered the role. I believe it is because I am not Catholic, yet they knew this aeons ago. I feel they wasted my time.
Burn the school down and then pick off all the ones that got away with a sniper rifle
I got the "you" ones and shown around the office and met the co-workers, and shown the machine used to make the items.🙂 It was great!
Had a pretty good interview last week, its usually a good sign if the interview was scheduled for 45 minutes and ends up going for an hour and 15 minutes. That and it felt more like a conversation/discussion as opposed to a formal interview. I think it helps that I interviewed with them months previously but it was for a different team and they said I would be better for the team I am applying for now and the HR person remembered me and the now hiring manager got that feedback.
You are so helpful and a godsend! I appreciate all of your time and free resources to help us boost our careers! God bless you!
My interview went at least 15 minutes past into the other interviewers time. & they didn’t stop me from talking either! 😆😆😆 They loved it.
A great number of people are in management and HR because they are people oriented, friendly. They know how to make a candidate feel relaxed, confident and at ease. So much so, that you may get the impression the interview went well when it didn’t. There are no cues or indications you got the job because you don’t really have sure way to know what the interviewer is thinking. The CFOs son may already have the job or your race/gender/looks, etc may have lost you the job. Until you have an actual offer, you don’t know how anything went
I’m so happy to watch this video based on the criteria’s I might get my dream job very soon. Thank you so much for all the content in this channel you are so great.
I sent a follow up email yesterday and received an offer today! Thanks for all the resources!!!
Might not read this but wanted to say thanks. Needed to find a job in under a month and did so with your help and tips. My new job gave me WFH options and a 17k raise. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
Thank you so much for your tips, Self Made Millennial. Your videos are really cool and effective. In fact, I was able to to get a job using your advice.
Congratulations!
I just had a 2nd interview with a company im hoping extends an offer. i spent 45 mins on Tuesday speaking with HR, got called back an hour later for the 2nd one.. the 2nd one today.. both of the people who would be my immediate managers. I think we had a great time, they laughed, talking about future growth/how I can grow in the company. Spoke about getting permission to giving me a tour of the site if they move forward then say they're gonna talk to their HR after the interview so. crossing my fingers
I was instructed to provide references after the interview with the recruiter and hiring manager. Except for meeting the director and tour, all these things were on point that happened. I actually learned this role was looking for something else that wasn't in the job description which I already had, leadership experience that many applicants likely lacked. They decided to move on with other candidates after the email and phone calls we had exchanged after the interview.
Hi! I love this video and think that these signs are great, but I'm wondering if you plan to make an updated video that's more geared towards remote work? I have been seeking mainly remote positions, and I think it's even harder to know what kind of signs to look for when you're interviewing in a 100% virtual environment. I appreciate all of your hard work - thank you!
Thank you for amazing tips!! I enjoy watching your videos and it helped me a lot on my interviews. I had an interview today and I have another interview tomorrow too! For the first interview, I felt confident and was able to answer all of their questions. I noticed the hiring manager would smile and nod her head and would say “ oh that’s good” and said I was organized. After answering the questions, she explained to me my job duties, job attire, and things I would have to do before I start working for their company. The interview ended well and I sent an email saying thank you and she sent an email 15 minutes after and thanked me as well and informed me they will be making s decision and notify me soon. What do you think about this? I’m having anxiety right now just thinking about this. Please let me know and thank you!! 😊
So did you get it?
I’ve had a tour during my interview. Then after I left I received an email asking for references! I was like cool I know for sure I have it in the bag. So 2 days later I got a call saying all of my references checked out then they requested my immediate supervisor’s email. I provided that and my supervisor said she responded well. Time passed… 8 days later. “We regret to inform you ….” 😑
Lol, I hate getting that "We regret to inform"
@@erickanew Yesss, so sickening. Lol
I've had a job interview where I met their partners for the second time in two different offices across the country and they asked me whether I'd be okay if so and so is on the contract. In addition to that, they asked me whether I'd be committed if they were to give me an offer this month. At the end, no offer.
Ouch, I am in the same boat now. Everything leads to an offer coming, but I am doing my best to not hold my breath.... FYI, not going very well LOL
Point #1 - not all companies give our interviewers information most of the time you only have recruiters email and that recruiter is way too busy to respond to emails as thank you letter or status
Part #3 we give all our candidates tour because we want them to calm down before they meet their first panelist
Part #4 coordinators job is to work around your schedule it’s their goal to get you to interview for them so they will work around your availability first
Part #5 if it goes short you and your interviewers may be super efficient and speak fast or your responses took so long that the interview got extended because they want to ask all of their questions
On two different interviews, I did the first interview and they asked for me to stay a bit longer, while telling the other person they were interviewing that will be in touched. I was then went to an office where I spoke with another person who was basically the supervisor of the department I was applying for. At the second interview, they were basically selling me the position.
so my second interview is with the CEO and manager of the department I am joining... so gonna try and take this as a good sign.
I had my interview last week and it's more of a casual conversation than being asked those common interview questions. Not sure if that means any "sign" of a job offer, but I'm still waiting for the results.
That can be good. Might mean they are more focused on selling you on the opportunity than evaluating you.
Self Made Millennial and update on my job. I’ve got the offer! Just waiting for background check to finish before I’m given a start date. Hoping it finish as quickly as possible!
Same thing happened with me on Friday. My interviewer was talking about favorite tv shows and it was basically a causal conversation. I got a call about the employment application. Is that a sign as well?
My interview was super short, they didn’t look interested at all from like the moment I walked in. They asked me what I did for fun..
I emailed them a thank you letter with an invoice for an hour of my time ..
I remember the first internship interview I did ended with a tour and meeting various colleagues. Got the call the next day that they wanted to hire me. Cant really do this in the virtual interview world anymore though
After my interview two weeks ago, it went really well and all your tips were so helpful that they called me for a second interview. There were two new people that interviewed me and the other person was the same one from my first interview so i hear from them in a few weeks. in the second interview, i would ask them does that answer your question after they asked me some and then would ask them do you have any questions for me ended up having a nice discussion. they used you many times in the interview. all these things you said some of them did happen and it was really nice. they could tell how passionate i was and my work experience as well. some questions were tough where i tripped up a bit and kept saying the same thing over again due to being nervous but i kept pushing through until the end. thank you for your tips they really helped me
So glad the tips helped!
Self Made Millennial what does it mean, they told me they’ll call in two days if I didn’t get a call to call them 😭
The office tour or in my industry lab tour after the interview is not only standard it is a part of the interview that not many interviewees know about. It is usually done by someone you would work with on a daily basis. They will look for enthusiasm and whether you ask the right questions about the place. It is also a great time to get the interviewee into a more relaxed post-interview state of mind and then see their true persona aka whether they put on a mask in the interview to appear better. You might have done well in the interview, but the tour could cost you the job. We had someone on the tour seriously ask the junior staff how they were coping with having a female boss... Thanks, that's a no from us.
Yeah, this sign sounds good on the surface, but I have heard numerous companies say that showing a candidate around and even introducing you to a few random people who happen to be in the area is a part of the interview and it's done with every candidate. I've gotten quite a few "tours" where I didn't receive an offer, and gotten offers from places where I never received a tour. I wouldn't put too much stock into this one.
Ive noticed that one as well. Especially at places like retail. And a lot of times you are talking to someone out of state over the phone or over video.
I wouldnt put much stock in that one.
Not uncommon to introduce people as well.
Lobe this! Will you do one that shows the signs that you didn't get the job?
Oh I should!
I once got passed all stages before the negotiation of the terms of the offer before I got rejected for failing a personality threshold test.
It was such a good opportunity that it threw me into a slump and I’m still recovering from it :/
Recently, I have given one interview at company after finishing interview I got mail from Hr that "we will give you update next week once director come from holiday"
In next week I got updated email from Hr saying that " We are review a few other candidates for the position and hope to present an offer early next week. You are one of our top candidates so we will be in touch soon."
Does it indicate good sign?
After only working 3 years I switched to this one: I know I got the job after the pay check has come in. Till that happens, I'm not done applying :) already been played with too much!
I recently had an interview for an internal position for my current company, and was offered a change to job shadow the position I interviewed for. The interview was also with the CEO, COO, building director, and HR head. So I’m hoping this means good things!
Hello, here is my situation. I received and immediate response for an interview from the human resources manager. She stated asking me questions on my experience. I answered all the questions perfectly. She warmed up and the interview was long she also smiled when I answered the questions. She told me the salary range, the benefits, and all the upcoming events with the company. At last, she told me she did not want to taken long do to expect and response back by Friday. My interview was on Thursday. She also stated that she and they coo of them company will make a decision based on the interview notes. When I said I will be looking forward to your email she smiled.
In my second technical interview he said “ I like your answers and I will share the positive feedback about you with management” now it’s been two days, no response yet.
Interview in a few hours. Let's hope it goes well
How did it go??
@@emilyh.4164 So I'm not actually sure which interview I commented this before, but I did get a job offer before one of them.
Thank you so much for the valuable video. I had my interview with a government agency today, they said they will make a decision today, (but)will give me feedback late next week. ??? 2. They asked if I will have time for coffee catch up with team leader if successful. 3. They asked if I have left all the references contacts. 3 they asked my notice time. 4. Interview lasted 1 hours. 5. Never mention salary. How likely they they going to hire me?
I was literally watching this after final panel interview 90min ago for manager position and received the below email from hiring manager not sure what to think but it would be cold blooded to not offer me the job now right? There were 2 other candidates.
:
Great to connect with you again and right back at you! We were the glasses gang today.
You did a great job, and the Team agrees there could be a good fit here. Give us a day or two to circle up on feedback. There might be a couple of questions we circle back with, but we're getting close.
Appreciate your time and commitment to the process!
I just had an interview today. seemed to go really, but it was virtual and the only thing on this list that applied to my experiernce is that the interview went long. It literally went "sorry this is going over the allotted time, I'm really enjoying our conversation. do you mind going over a bit?" - guess we'll see if get an offer or not!
Did you get it?
Seems like a good sign to me! I wonder how it went?
wow! so much energy and good advice here! thanks for sharing
Chinestory thanks so much
This is great! Fun delivery!
Thank you!
If the hiring manager mentioned, "my co-workers and I discuss a lot and chose you." He also asked me to come back to the store next week again. He will notify me which day to come. Does it mean I got the job?
What if one of the interviewers from the panel, upon completion of the interview, decides to walk with you until you leave the building and starts asking you questions like how long have you worked for such and such etc. almost like getting more of a feel for you. Usually most people that would interview a person don’t normally walk a person to the door and sign them out on the sign in and out clipboard by the security guards. She was very nice so just found it interesting
I had an interview 6 days ago. My interview last for one hour 30 minute, they talk about salary, working condition, and how long I need to get notified. They even talk about second interview with manager but since then I didn't hear anything from them :(
Did you hear back yet?
I had an interview today and used a lot of your tips! It was 10 situational questions that I used the PAR method with. For some of the responses, I got some great praise and at the end of the interview, the hiring manager said that he felt like he got a good understanding of my work experience/ ethic. Hiring multiple people for this position. Do these seem like good signs to you?
I had an immediate response from my thank you email, within minutes. Was all positive. Have not received an offer yet but hope to hear
Soooo I recently had an interview for a promotion and already the first two things happened. The interviewer actually said “When you get this job…” and then laughed a little and tried to correct herself.
Oh and tomorrow I have a second interview. So I passed!
Discussing Logistics… check!
interviewed for a software engineering internship last week, and 1), 4), 5) and 7) happened so hopefully i get it :)
Rooting for you!
@@SelfMadeMillennial got my offer today, thanks!
Just finished my first interview after my graduation, I am not sure what’s going on next. They did asked me when I can start and they will let me know in next week, but I don’t have a such confidence in getting this position. I am anxious now. Wish me luck!
You get it?
The engineering interviews are insane. Being in software since 1986 I have a very low tolerance for coding tests at this point considering I automate tests. It isn't rocket science. I had a 2nd round interview today that I felt very good about judging by the the reactions of the two engineers I interviewed with. Hopefully it's a 3rd round or an offer.
Had one interview where they asked for references (one of the signs). They reached out to my references with apparently nothing but great things to say about me.
Well I followed up a week later and they said they were still processing candidates’ referrals. Cool.
Fast forward to 2 weeks later, I didn’t get the job. I mean, it’s frustrating to hear this hollow praise just to be rejected.
The best one I ever had was they gave me the offer, had me fill out all of the paperwork plus drug test, and then called me a matter of days before my start date and stated they weren't going to be hiring anymore. I was pissed and my sass came out and I was like "You realize I put my two weeks in" this lady had the nerve to say "you put your two weeks in before you started?" Like bro, when else am I going to put it in? Since then, whenever a friend is looking for a job I tell them not to apply there (won't say it here though) and those that don't listen that go in there end up being miserable and I have to hold my tongue to not say I told them so.
I had 2 job interview so far but I got a callback for the same job interview at the same place.
You're my favorite Madeline! ❤️
Have deff been led on, ended up getting ghosted. That one hurt but learned to not take these things to personally.
I love your energy. You're an amazing Recruiter and person. Thank you for the tips.
If there are multiple interviews I feel like these signs may be more in the last interview and not necessarily the first or second. I’ve had them do most of these in the 1st phone interview before even asking me any questions as a formality.
My husband had an interview, where he said it went well, and they started with the " you" talk. Then told him they'll likely call him next week. Well, they ghosted him and picked another applicant. They never said a word to him again.
Hey MadeIine, great video as usual! Watched it before and after my interview (thanks for the awesome content on interviewing too - helped a lot!). I would love to get your take on my current situation!
I interviewed on Friday, and at the end, the hiring manager said she has to connect with the search team and then HR, but that I should hear back within the next week or two. On Monday, I received an update email in which she thanked me for coming in, said the whole team was impressed with my interview, and hoped/asked if I was still interested in the position. I responded, and later that day, I got an auto email from HireRight for a bg check. Today, she checked in again and said I was a finalist and should complete the bg check and that she'd be in touch soon. Is it pretty safe to assume that I will get the job, contingent on the results?! The word "finalist" is throwing me off!! Like, are they still considering other people or can she just not give the impression that I've gotten it yet. Would love to hear your thoughts!!
It seems like you got it, but the word finalist does indicate that someone else is in the picture. I hope you get it!
Live the content as always, but I keep looking in the comments and descriptions of your videos and can't find the answer: any chance for a link make/model of your chair? It looks fantastic and the exact style I need for my home office.
I dont trust people when someone is smiling at me interview. When I see a smile everything is straight up lie. I often go to job interviews with their job description to help them to get me hired becuase they never ask what specifically what they want out of me for the position or see what my skills on what I bring to the table.
I got two offers back to back, one was a casual interview and they told that I am a perfect fit for the role and I got the job whereas the other job interview was strict and had rounds of technical interview and coding tests and I cracked it somehow and got that offer as well. It’s tough to read the signs for sure!
which offer did u go with?
@@obieo3474 the strict one with technical interviews

It's been over a month at a hospital system in my state, I was informed by the recruiter that I did really well, & that they're working diligently to get me in. Strangly enough, they didn't ask for references during the Zoom interview. I sent several follow up emails & the answer was the same 'I did great & they like me, my info is still sitting on the director's desk'. It's been just over a month & no offer. I sent one more quick follow up email a few days ago & no reply from the recruiter. This hospital is famous for taking a long time to make an offer. But when should I feel like it's time to just give up that I'll ever get an offer? I'm in a bit of a time crunch.
Should make a video on virtual interview. I just finished my 4th interview with a company and it was a panel interview on zoom and was broken up into 3 interviews each lasting only 30 minutes each. Hopefully hearing some good news early next week but had zero idea what to expect and with the short time of each interview it was tough to answer all questions and I wasn’t given much time to ask questions to the interviewer so didn’t get a total feel on how each went.
My job interview yesterday went so bad... none of those "tell us about yourself/ strength or weaknes" just straight into the techniques, which I knew only two out of 4. Lol literally 4 questions.
But one thing they seemes impressed with were my questions at the end (questions that show I researched the department)
But we'll see, Government jobs can take months to reply
Had an interview last week and I felt terrible about it because the start was rough. However it ended up being two hours long and the interviewer did use the word you in some parts of it. However the person I did interview with was the CEO. Waiting to see what ends up happening now.
What I’ve seen is that hiring managers want to exit the interview without any “unpleasantness” so they lead you on at the end.
Exactly what happened to me years ago, told me i definitely had the job and didn't get jack!! Kept calling lol, everytime I called it was some hold up with human resources then i finally said F them
My second interview was not really an interview, the managing director told me that he just want to see me in person and my character.
Just yesterday actually and I got 5/8. I hope it's a good sign.
Did you get the job?
I appreciate this you hit it in the nail I got the job
