Hey Jeff, if your sample answer is true, I'd love to see how you drafted the email of apology to the higher stakeholders. I've always admired how you keep the communication vital and concise. Since this is one skill I'm learning from you, I'd love to know how you handled a difficult situation.

It would definitely vary depending on the relationship you have with the senior stakeholders and sometimes a face to face chat might be more worthwhile than an email :)

I have failed many times. It was a cycle. It started with overconfidence, taking time got granted, then not realising the impact at first, then repeating the mistake, followed by overthinking, being stuck in past, thinking of what it's, then why & how, then cutting yourself from your network cos you feel like a loser, it's a cycle, not getting the energy to wake-up, then thinking what's the point cos nobody is going to hire you even if you pass. I am trying to gather myself. I don't know if I will ever be able to know or get what I want.

Hey Jeff thank you so much for another amazing interview prep, press dislike twice really got me! NGL I've been glued to my laptop watching your videos over the past week for an upcoming video interview. I realise I spend too much time coming up with real-life examples, maybe a whole day to just think of one (not joking 😣) I wanted to know how do you choose experiences? Thanks again! 🙏🏻
@JeffSu3 жыл бұрын
Hi Lyra! First of all, best of luck in your upcoming interviews! Regarding experiences, there are two tricks: (1) You can use the same experience multiple times if you spin it right. If you're a young professional, there's no expectation you have 100+ stories, so you can use the same story to showcase different strengths and weaknesses for different behavioral interview questions. (2) You want to pick experiences where there are a lot of things happening, but only FOCUS ON ONE part of it per answer if that makes sense. Don't say "Well this happened, then that, I did ABC and also XYZ", you want to be able to drill in on one part. And again, use a different part of the experience to answer another question :)

@JeffSu3 жыл бұрын
Sure of course Airy - So I think you just want to be more "engaging" during the interview right? A few things come to mind: (1) Small talk before and after the interview - think about current events you can bring up, (2) Eye contact, nodding when listening goes a long way, and (3) After you've finished answering your question, you can also find appropriate opportunities to ask the interviewer how they would think of the situation / question

Hey Jeff! First of all, thanks so much for your interview tips and tricks it has been super duper helpful. I actually used your answer in this video today for a "tell me about your weakness" question and it really backfired. The interviewer was not impressed and he said it is a standard "perfectionist" kind of answer. I guess I should not have used this answer for a "weakness" question. Can you make a video/advise us on how to answer a "Tell me about your weakness" question? Thanks and love your videos!!!

Hi Janel - Thanks so much for giving objective feedback! I'm actually curious as to how you structured your answer since the example I gave in the video is "exaggerated" to get my point across: You should define failure in your own terms and not exactly by saying over-promising and under-delivering 😅

Sorry but again your answer itself is way too long. I noticed you speak really fast. In a normal interview, you need to speak much more slowly and on clear manner as it’s not a conversation between you and your friends… I would fail the candidate if you give me that answer and I would fail if I rambled on like the way you did. I liked your first half, the overall story line and some were good advice, like don’t give a disastrous failure example as not to be considered a liability or tendency to fail as it shows you didn’t learn from mistakes. But your actual answer example came across to me as frivolous and why ramble on with so many details? Can you actually engage an interviewer with so many details that he/she may not care? This example answer aside from overall storyline is poor. I don’t advise this. Also do you give advice mostly to new grads and people with only a few years of experience? All your answers seem to be towards junior candidates…
