I would give a slight caveat to #5. There have been times where I've gone into an interview with a list of questions and by the end of the interview they've all been answered. I always have the questions written down and I also write their answers down when they come up. Sometimes I'll ask the questions, sometimes they naturally come up throughout. But at the end when they ask, "do I have any questions for them?" if I don't then I will say that. "You've actually already answered all the questions I wanted to ask..." and then go back through the list of questions with a summary of their answers. This shows that you were prepared, you were listening, you take notes, and it lets them clarify any answer they gave if they want to. At the end of the day the point is to do your research, stay engaged with the interview, and make sure you walk away with any information that you needed... PS - A good final question that's always acceptable is "What is rest of the hiring process from here? Are their additional interviews? What's the timeline?" Etc.

thanks for the idea to sum it up at the end! It happened to me more than once, that all my questions had been answered during the interview, and at the end I didnt know what to ask (or asked overly specific question that might not be that great) xD Giving them a summary like that sounds awesome, thanks!

#6. The one question employers always ask in an interview is, “Tell us about yourself.” They don't want to know your life’s history. They are asking, “What can you bring to this job?” In all the different years I have job searched, no one has told me they aren't asking for your life history. Why?!? Please don't make the same mistake.

Recruiters usually print out your CV beforehand so if you are asked to tell about yourself it's because of several reasons. There a couple of people at a proper interview and all want to be on the same page for once. On the other side that's your opportunity to show your best side and tell them which of your experiences YOU think matters for this job and how.

@jennahilton8259 7 ай бұрын
All of this is true! Only one caveat with #4: some companies are looking for entry-level employees that have a “student mentality.” They’re looking for someone they can teach the ropes to easily. I mainly see this for entry-level retail/customer service positions, entry-level sales positions, internships, and leadership/management development programs. Also be aware, for anyone going into an entry-level sales position and the company says that they want a candidate with that student’s mentality, make sure it’s not a pyramid scheme. I kept seeing that over and over. Reason why it could be a red flag is because they’re looking for someone who doesn’t know any better, can manipulate, and run into the ground for little benefit.

@robertzahler 3 ай бұрын
My advice is to do some prep before hand. Search the web for the most common interview questions, (Erin probably has a video on those) and prepare some answers on your own time where you are not under the pressure of an interview. Then review and refine your answers as well as practice reading them out loud. Then when it comes time to interview, you will have answers at the ready. I also find that if you prepare answers\stories ahead of time, they will typically apply to multiple questions. For example, if there was a project you worked on with a team that went really well, you could use that story for "Tell me about a time when you succesfully worked in a team." as well as "Tell me about an accomplishment at work that you are proud of.".

On the last example she mentioned ('im going on a cruise next week, can I still go on that?) - I actually asked this while changing jobs (but more politely XD) and after I was hired I learned that they only let me go for that vacation, because I told them from the very start that I had these plans. More context: I have a summer 1 week vacay planned every year, to go for an art festival (im an artist and that was the role i was applying for). Unluckily, it fell one week after my start date (so one week in new job, then 1 week vacay), and I had it all booked one year in advance and its pretty important time for me. So I told recruiter "I'm aware that this is pretty bad timing and I'm extremely sorry for the trouble, but I have this vacation planned year in advance, is there any chance I could still take it? If this is an issue, I'll cancel the vacation, as this job is more important to me, but in case there was a chance I could still take it, I would be very grateful. And I promise I will not be using more vacation during my probation time" And they agreed and hired me :)

I, personally, would not discuss that in initial interviews. I'm diagnosed bipolar, and currently being assessed for ADHD, and I would leave that to later discussions, either in later interviews or even not until after you've been given an offer. After all, they can't legally NOT hire you because of medical issues, but they can choose to just not hire you for any other excuses they can come up with. If you're worried it's going to affect your performance than read up on the American's with Disabilities Act (if you're in the USA) to know what your rights and protections are. Then find out if any state/local laws alter those in any way. Form there I would first discuss it with an HR rep and then your supervisor. But I also admit that I'm very cautious with this information because it's been used against me in the past. There are, however, company cultures where it's not as much as an issue. If you get a sense that is the case then use your own judgement on how early you disclose personal, medical information.

@Robert Stull Everything you said is true. My own strategy is to mention it by turning it around. I had an interview 2 days ago and was asked about how I would contribute to company culture. I divided it up, "Profesionally I bring x, y, and z. In terms of office culture, diversity is something I highly value, blah, blah... Ultimately, I'm a queer neurodivergent woman and I'm proud of all of those things." This is definitely something not everyone can do and not for every interview. I'm in the SF Bay Area, so I'm pretty reliably able to use it to score brownie points.

The UK has the Disability Confident Scheme but I personally don't usually mention being ASD until I've started the job. It helps with my imposter syndrome and the sector I work in plays to my ND strengths anyway luckily.

Interviewer: So do you have any questions for me? Me: Not anymore, I can see the door from here, and that's my only goal at this point. Byeeee!! Interviewer:.. Me: It's when you said we need someone who can hit the ground running, and then added that I can get to my target pay in a year or two. This is code for we're understaffed (why might that be?) and we don't pay requisite value for what our employees provide, so instead we have them work toward promises. I step into a role with more confidence when it begins within the range I originally discussed, and there is a period of reasonable ramp up to ensure that I will be successful in the role, shall I continue?

There is one question I have been asked countless times: "So, where do you see yourself in five years?" To date, everyone makes jokes about it, but no one has ever actually given me a structured answer. Any ideas?

I believe she said that the only hard and fast rule is to not have templates on your resume (as in the stylized kind that looks really good to the human eye, but would confuse an ATS system).

It brings me rage that we have to have these robotic, fake a$$ conversations, just so we can make a living. Just once I want to be brutally honest in an interview. Because you're hiring, and I need money to live, GD it!! Nevertheless, i have several of your video saved, Erin. Great work.

I remember going for a job interview years ago in a high rise building with lots of different companies operating. The place was like a shark tank. 🦈 I think they just poached each other's employees. 🪤 I went to the wrong floor to begin with and asked for the person who was going to interview me. They said they didn't know who the person was but that they were recruiting people that day and I was welcome to step this way and take a seat. 🎣 I declined and eventually managed to find the correct floor and the person who was to interview me. At the end of the interview he introduced me to someone who was passing through. He said; this is so and so, he's currently working for company X on the 3rd floor but he'll be starting with us on Monday. 🤔 Thankfully the hours for the job were unsuitable as I was raising a child at the time so I was able to find something else. 😅
