Chase, interesting, so you got out of it, but did the unethical situation still occur? Would love to hear more if you are willing to share and feel you can share while also protecting confidentiality.

@@jeffhsipepi sure in my situation i had to get creative because my situation wasn’t “unethical” per say but it could’ve costed me my job and the other party. Was asked to cut critical cost out of a project to get lower pricing that could’ve put my job in jeopardy. I let the person know the risk of taking that route and the implications it could cause career wise, internal and with our client. I found other options to mitigate that situation to get the deal done. I think this approach works when you don’t have a true “unethical” (i.e. stealing, etc) situation. This is better than saying “I’ve never been in that position”

Dear Jeff, first of all I can't thank you enough for all the valuable information. I've been watching your videos 24/7 in prep for my video interview with Google, and have some questions. Just to get a feel of what Googleyness questions look like, could you give any other example questions? Also, should this be answered role-specifically as well?

How are you preparing for the interview?
@jeffhsipepi 2 жыл бұрын
pruddls, typically these interviews lean a little on the behavioral end and will ask you negative questions, tell me about a conflict, unresponsive co-worker, or unethical (like in this video), and on the positive side ask questions about mentorship, inclusivity, etc. I hope this helps and good luck!

M, if pruddls does not have time to reply, I recommend if you are preparing to focus on getting great examples down in a Google doc and spending a little time learning the CFAS Method for open-ended questions.

Thanks again for your content. I watched a lot of your videos to prep for the google PM interviews. I made it to onsite, but unfortunately, they have decided not to move forward. I honestly thought I did pretty well, so I was surprised to hear this. I want to try again in the next year or so, and it would be helpful to understand what I need to work on.. My recruiter said she can’t share any feedback. Any tips on how I may be able to get some helpful feedback from the recruiter? Thanks again!
@jeffhsipepi 2 жыл бұрын
dbgus811, your Recruiter is not going to share specific feedback with you, so I have two recommendations, I want you to really reflect on the day and think about an area(s) you could improve on, and secondly continue to prepare and practice as much as you can. Not everyone gets in the first time, keep trying!

What do you mean “be empathetic“? It sounds like you would approach the person with kid gloves, refusing to tell it to them straight, like it is, as if they’re weak and can’t handle straight talk.
@jeffhsipepi Жыл бұрын
Garrett, empathy - understanding another person's experience by imagining oneself in that other person's situation. Being empathetic is not about not refusing to give it to them straight, it is about bringing awareness to how you approach and communicate information. And this is critical when pushing back in a corporate environment.

@@supremoluminary I simply googled it and took the first definition that popped up. How you interpret that definition is really up to you. The article that James wrote was interesting, but ultimately, I believe he got fired for sharing private information publicly, but no doubt it is an interesting read. My channel is focused on interview and negotiation strategies and yes, I have a lot of content on Google, but ultimately, it is up to each person to decide if they want to work for a company like Google or any other big tech company. I think there is a value in getting the brand on your resume/LinkedIn, the compensation is high, but with any career decisions all factors need to be weighed.

@@jeffhsipepi You really should never talk about any of your previous employers in a negative light. Because that raises the concern of how you will potentially talk about Google if everything doesn't pan out. Sure, give generic examples about unpleasant work situations, but never out the specific company or the person responsible (Your team lead in this case, who is now easily identifiable)

@@fkdkdkfkrkska48485 I agree that you should not talk about previous employers in a negative light, this is great advice for any candidate, but this is not about the employer, but an employee. And, when using examples from a large company like a Facebook, where teams can be incredibly large, I do not agree that the person is easily identifiable. But, I do agree that maybe the example should have said someone in leadership, maybe not the direct team lead. Thank you so much for your input!!
