Hey Don. I came here to say thank you for all your tips. I was trying to move to another job after 3 years working for the same company. I lost the feeling about being interviewed. After watch many videos I felt so confident and I smashed it. THe interview was only with directors and nobody from HR. They were a bit lost asking me questions. What I did? I made notes about 10 questions HR normally asks and I started introducing myself and following the list. THANK YOU.

@eyeshadowlady Жыл бұрын

This, plus your video about figuring out what makes you unique in the why should we hire you, helped me gain confidence and helped me nail my interview (finally!) and get the job I really wanted. I was not asked why they should hire me, but I knew why and I worked that into my answers. What separated me from my competition? what special thing could I contribute that they may not realize they needed? I made sure I included it briefly in this response! Before that video, I did not see the value in that thing. Your advice really translates well into any industry, vs a lot of other channels that really gear towards sales or tech. I think you really made this intro to me simpler and more genuine. Thank you!

@thequinndiaries9271 4 жыл бұрын

Don! Thank you so so much for taking your time to provide all these wonderful hiring tips to all of us. Personally I'd like to thank you. I went through some of your videos for the tips prior to a final interview. Lemme tell you.. I had an hour and half interview with 3 amazing people in the company and today, I received the job offer! It's been a hard time for me to land for a job especially in an English-speaking country (that's not my mother tongue); and by just going through all your videos gave me a huge encouragement that I could nail it. One thing for sure, preparation is one of the key prior to the interview. You definitely don't want to just show up with all the thought of "Ok, I will say what i need to say. It's just an interview." A big NO! Thank you so much, Don! Owe you big time 😊 stay safe.

What I like best about these answers, is how "success" is based upon past "success". Those of us who have failed at just about everything as a result of countless past potential employers believing we were nothing but failures, have succeeded at nothing, and now have nothing notable to talk about...except our 30-40 years of failing to get any relative experiences or "successes" we can use to impress and BS our way through a question we couldn't answer with any degree of optimism or credability if our lives (i.e. "careers") depended upon it. So I just default to "Well, I pretty much have done just what everyone has ever told me to do because nobody ever believed I could do better...so I didn't." :)

Thanks Don for the interviewing technics you have produced on your videos and the 10 step download as well. To my benefit I got the job.I was excited to do this where I have struggled before. Im not really excited as I was prior to the interview. The interview was hurried and not in a place where we had some quiet to talk and for me to collect my thoughts. We did get through the skills part but when it came time for my questions I totally blanked out to the point i didn't ask for what was important to me. The first question was about whether I had kids or not! What?? I have a history of toxic workplaces because the auto industry is toxic. Can I call and ask for a phone interview to get my questions answered ? How do I proceed in a professional way or even can I? Thanks for your time in advance if you answer. Thanks again.

Hey again, love your videos. I got an interview monday. First job in my machinist career after studying it in school. Pays 17-21 in the company I am going to interview for and they plan on training me and teaching me a lot. Should I even attempt to negotiate if they offer 17, its a 35min ride and I keep telling myself the training is a value in itself but I know if i got the job and really liked it there then i would be stuck at 17 an hour with a difficult time to increase my salary. I know I can sell myself well and I pick up on things so quick , just dont see my worth to the company being at 17. I want a reason to ground myself in the company for the long haul and not plan on leaving for a higher paying job.

Some people feel the need to spend 12 minutes explaining why they were 2 minutes late for a meeting or for your job. I usually just say, "I was held up in traffic by a collision/train, etc., since its what actually happened, I'm usually a few minutes early. If they want more, you can fill in the gaps with monotonous detail... But since I'm a "go-getter," I prefer keep details brief and to-the-point.
