      "I'm not the first one to be done, but I'm the one who gets the highest score" is actually very accurate about me :) so I'm gonna use lol Thank you for the video

    I’m not even looking for a job, but listening to this was honestly interesting. Having done interview before, obviously, and realizing what I did right and did wrong. Logical, and well presented.

    On my last job review my boss literally wrote down: "You hold yourself to very high standards and expect it of others" she wrote it as the only weakness she could right down about me. I'll take it.

    I tend to over analyze compliments. Even though I’ve earned them often through hard work, and I appreciate the recognition, I feel like the people giving them are more excited about it than I appear to be.

    Thank you , Thank you, THANK YOU!
    Just completed my 3rd round of interviews with my “dream job”.
    You’r tips are invaluable!!!!
    I feel I NAILED IT!🔨🔨🔨
    I posted large poster boards with bullet points behind my computer so that I could answer precisely without that awkward, cringe worthy pause! ( cheat sheets ).
    Even if I don’t get this position, it gave me confidence and the skill set for all types of interactions in the future!
    YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
    I’ll hear back in 2 weeks👍

    "I tend to find flaws in processes, but I also come up with a lot of solutions. Whether or not they get used, well, I don't take it personally." (then I give a bit of a chuckle, which relieves the pressure). And it's true I don't take it personally, but I do lose respect for the clowns who don't fix their processes. That's the part I don't say out loud!

    I have had 10 phone interviews in the past 3 months and only 4 of them led to in person interviews. I thought I nailed every single one of them and I use all the tips online. I'm trying very hard and I'm going for the positions that I do. I have gotten none of the jobs. I keep pushing but its becoming such a sad state of affairs here. I've never had this much trouble getting a job in my field.

    My weaknesses are interviews. I had one the other day and my last interview was 13 years ago, I had worked 20 years straight, it was just an interview for a different position.

      Once you eliminate HR and pick the resumes you think are good, and start interviewing, you will soon realize it is exhausting and let the HR eliminate. Some lie some dont have communication skills or soft skills for example.I prefer recommendations from existing employees.

    I always thought I was left-handed, but in fact I am right-handed though I can only write with my left hand. I always have to take documents out of the folder for signing them.
    On a whiteboard, I can only write with my right. It sounds confusing but I got used to it.
