    It gave me chills when I heard “whatever you are going through right now, at some point you will look back and know exactly why it had to happen that way.” You such a great coach.

    Hello Andrew! I'm Nandita from Canada. Thank you so much for sharing, this is very helpful. Some organisations are now sending interview questions ahead of time. What can be expected as part of the questions ? And what is the rationale behind this ?

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  Рік тому +3

      Nandita! Wonderful to hear from you. Sometimes employers are trying to streamline the process. Regarding what to expect, every employer is a bit different. There's no telling what they might ask, however, I would be prepared for the basic questions about why you want to leave your current company, why do you want to join them, etc. etc. Good luck!

    I have recently got a new job. It was a two months long process with 6 interviews. My toughest interview was with the hiring manager in person where he said this is an informal chat and not an interview where I ended up having to run the entire interview/chat for over an hour.

    Interesting that the 'ethical' question arises and I wonder if one might consider that a 'red flag' when interviewing with a company or organization...Or is it a test of ones character. I really appreciate you Andy! This has been a great education for the last month or so, during my job search following a lay off. Be well.

    The leaders build more leaders approach does not work for me. My reason is that, after 15years in management, I have discovered that more than half of people don’t want to be a leader, they want to follow and be part of a steady-state environment. I appreciate the psychology of focusing on a leader being great in various aspects of their approach to management. I just continue to not be comfortable with the focus that everyone would want to model themselves as a leader.

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  Рік тому +2

      Interesting perspective. I do like it. One thing to consider is when I say leader, I don’t mean someone who manages a team. Individual contributors also lead. This qualities, not number of people on an org chart.

    Andy! I totally had an employee from a company I had applied to call me out of the blue today, pretending to be an interested recruiter. It did not hit me until a few hours later that I had heard her voice before. I was way too casual, caught off guard, really. I am sure I would not ever work for that company now. How often have you heard of this happening? Many thanks :)

    • @andylacivita

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  10 місяців тому +1

      Try staying present. I know that sounds cliche, but usually the reason nerves surface is because you’re focusing on the outcome (of getting we’re not getting the job). That’s what ultimately makes you nervous. Try to enjoy the interview.

    I've tried the positive response to the negative and leaving responses neutral. I had the interviewer respond by saying, "You don't always have to put a positive spin on everything." I responded by stating that I was answering the questions truthfully about what happened and how I dealt with it.
    Have either of you ever received that as a response? If so, what did you say?

    My husband was laid off at 62 because his job went overseas.
    He got to a 2nd interview then she saw his age. On his resume he was told to only include the last 12 years to not red flag his age! Years of experience isnt on his resume with only including the last 12 yrs..
    She was busy working while talking to him, then the manager told him she has wants a peanut butter sandwich, but you need to sell me a turkey sandwich...
    She had made a decision about him based off one question!
    She didnt even read his resume.
    Ageism is very real!

    Question: I asked, "Might you share what onboarding looks like for this role," and, "Might you tell me what a typical meeting looks like?" of the recruiter. I was so impressed with her answer to both. However, no call back after 3 days. We only had 10 minutes, so I could only answer 2 Qs, why I left my last role, and, what my strengths are. Is it o.k to ask those first 2 Qs, of a recuiter?
