    I have an interview tomorrow in the morning. I’ve never had a job before so I’m very nervous about everything Update: I got the jobbb Another update: it’s been almost a year and I loveee my job and all my coworkers! New update lol it’s about to be 2 years and I hate it. I’m ready to leave 😐 Guys 3 year updateeee I left it was terrible there and the managers suck 🥰
  • Guys always remember every interviewer wants to hire you, that's why you're there. So just dont give them any reason to change their mind. Good luck everybody you're gonna do great.
  • @MCeeGetFunky13
    If you’re reading this, you’re going to get the job. This video is extremely helpful! I definitely incorporated some of the techniques for my interview and I got the job. Thank you so much for this helpful information ✨

  • I literally forget everything about myself after they ask me this Update: it went well ☺️
  • @MaximBordyug.
    My mom used to tell me "remember, they're just people." This helped me relax, be myself and be more conversational
  • @SofronPolitis
    "Why did you choose our company?" "Because you are recruiting." "What can you bring to the company?" "A new employee." 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • @goseiihf898

    I had an interview in 2019 and I passed after watching this. The interviewer only asked one question which is "tell me about yourself. " I guess she was satisfied with my answer. Thanks for this! I am watching this again because I am going to an interview later. I always recommend your channel to everyone who are seeking tips about job interviews. Love from Philippines!
  • @soccerman4353
    She helped me secure a job exactly sox years ago. Today 7th march 2024 am heading for an interview in 3hrs ...and am back for refresher 😅😅
  • I was doing many interviews for months and nothing was really happening. I knew there was something wrong. I started watching your videos, boosting my confidence and getting ready for interviews. Today I just got a job offer for the position that I wanted!!! No words to describe the feeling.. I just would like to say thank you!
  • Im sick of having to bullshit and make myself seem fancy. When they ask "why do you want this job?" I just want to reply "because i need a job and have a passion for money"
  • I agree with this video however, it depends on your delivery. No employer wants to hire a robot….they want someone who has personality, relatability, and open mindedness. Therefore when they ask me to tell them something about myself, I always include something personal that pertains to the job I’m applying for. It creates more of a human connection…and it’s always worked for me. 💯
  • Two years ago i was here for interview tips and i was hired. Today I am here again as i will be attending an interview in the next two days 🙏🏽🙏🏽
  • @aunoasoisoi6355
    I love how supportive everyone is on here. Good luck with your interviews!
  • @ivure
    So you're basically briefly explaining what's on your resume, so they can understand how confident you speak, your posture and how you hold yourself and how much you know about their company. I've got an interview next week, this video helps. Thank you!

    I've used this a few times and it works really well! My only advice is to shorten your statement if possible and build achievement stories into the next few answers. Even going through the snapshot of your work history by yourself before the interview will give you a BUNCH of anecdotes to loads of questions. The first time I tried it it was very lengthy and didn't really work. Now I start by saying what I am doing currently, the job or education I did before this, a summary of my other industries and qualifications and THEN I a future statement about where I want to bring my experience/skills. "I am 26 years old, currently a team coordinator at __. Before this I was studying _ and volunteering at ___. I have experience leading and motivating teams and would love to work more in the community sector!" I don't know why but I always start with my age 😅 After this they usually ask why you want the position. This is where I suggest spoon feeding them with the "I know you are looking for someone with xyz..." statement 😊
