You crushed it John! Happy to see you back on YT. I thought your comment about just being human in your interviews is so important and often overlooked. I always say in my videos that both people in an interview want the conversation to go well. No interviewer (hopefully) goes into it wanting the conversation to be awkward. When you remember this it’s so much easier to build rapport and make that connection! Great tips! Although I’d have to say as someone at JPM that Goldman doesn’t ALWAYSSS get the best deals😉

@eldritchfloatie7196 Жыл бұрын

I really hate it when recruiters says that shit. Of course interviewers want the conversation to go well, but not for the sake of the interviewee, but for the sake of the position being filled. The interviewee has much more at stake here, and anyone saying they are looking foward to this situation or they are having a good time as well either have the rare privilege of not NEEDING the job or they are lying to themselves.

@JK-vc7ie Жыл бұрын

That's not really true. More than a few interviewers intentionally try to make the situation uncomfortable.

Absolutely love your content John! I think establishing your identity FIRST through introductory content that gives context to your channel would help viewers who stumble across your channel (and not via Tik Tok). Only after then if you expand and segment into different content streams (ie banking, starting a start up, etc), I think it would greatly help viewers have a clearer and more linear understanding of you and your story.
