This is a great video. Congratulations brother!

Thank you for another great video. I passed the OA today and was really worried going into this class. The PA and the OA were similar but some of the OA questions were worded in a way that made me second guess myself. It’s weird that they provide a text book they say not to use, why not find a better one😂 but the videos were clear.

Thank you for the knowledge 🙏🏿 i needed this!!!

on my 3rd year finishing up my bachelors.

This class is so boring compared to Organizational Behavior which was way more interesting. I fell asleep watching one of the lectures. Doesn’t help that the course instructor sounds like a damn AI. Hoping to pass this class by the end of the week!

man It seems I hit a brick wall on Lesson 27 in this course. The material is irrelevant to the learning assessment, and doesn't even provide any info on the formula calculations that you will have to do in the leaning assessment. Usually its not this bad, but this time it seemed way too much to me. Even the explanations in the learning assessment don't make sense and lack details. I can't make any connections or sense of the steps in there either

Thanks!

Great video what is your major?

Thank you for your tips, I just passed by a bit over the line😅 there were definitely one or two questions that Elin said probably wouldn’t be asked that were asked. But I am going away from this class with a better understanding of taxes.

Dang bro it got dark quick😆. Congrats man love following you on your journey. I'm one semester in my accounting degree at WGU and am lucky enough to have a job in accounting. Helps so much with the classes.

This a great video, thanks so much for the advise!

When interviewing be mindful about your responses. Tell about yourself means that they want to know what you bring to the table. Don’t go to in depth about personal things.

I'm planning on applying for jobs in a school district where I am a known volunteer who collaborates with administration often. I spend a lot of time in the school so I always act professionally with everyone I interact with because I always want to appear with my best foot forward. I also imagine in an interview that I would let them know that being a volunteer is what inspired me to pursue further education and certification to be able to be a part of the environment in a professional manner.

Good job on your interviews. I have the same routine for interviews. I would ask a friend or family member to help you with a mock interview.

Thanks for the advice! I'm currently in an education position but I believe these will help me for when I get into a teaching position!

Great advice and insight. I always love to watch out for great tips to help up my interview skills. Tips like these will set us apart.

These are some great tips and insights man! It’s so realistic to try and land a job before graduating too. Especially because, as you said in the video, they can hire you at a lower cost. I’m at WGU studying for IT degree so there’s going to be some more technical questions in the interview process, but you can definitely take these ideas and techniques and apply them to different industries instead of just accounting. The tips at the end of the video for someone working a job and taking interviews for a different job is great as well! Thanks for the vid man!

Very nice video! Informative and helpful to prepare.

WGU is a great tool to help you get along professionally but my advice for interviews is this: Know yourself. Know what skills and experiences you have to bring to the table with new employers. They want to know who they’re hiring and what situations you’ll help them navigate. I think it’s important to really reflect on the courses you took and how they’re applicable to jobs you’re applying to.

Thanks for the advice. I graduated with my bachelors in August and jumped straight into my Masters degree. I haven't had to go through the interview process just yet, but this is very helpful!

Thank you for the great advice. I totally agree with everything that you stated in the video.

Very helpful advice. I will use them in my future job interviews.

I like this format, I feel its important to stress your soft skills as well, team work, leadership, continuing education, things that align with the companies values. If you are passionate about environmentalism, safety work, Mental health, Music, you should include these to showcase you are the ideal candidate for this company, show that you go above an beyond your role and engage with other departments to improve business strategies. You aren't just filling a role, they are looking for growth and success.

Thanks for the advice! I'm currently on the lookout for an internship, and I think the wisdom you've shared here will help prepare me for the future. I really appreciate you wanting to help your fellow Night Owls! From my experience, another great thing you can do to prepare while at WGU is simply to ensure you TRULY know what you are learning about. I've had multiple classes where I could have passed the final exam at any time, but I chose to keep reading up on the information to ensure to myself in the future that I am well informed on the subject. Being ACTUALLY sure of your abilities will always be helpful in a job interview!

Make sure to do your best to sell yourself! You have a lot of experiences that other people do not. Dont be afraid to tote them so that they know!

Awesome video thank you for the advice and information

Being a first-generation college student at WGU has given me the confidence to build a better future for myself and my family. My advice for interviews is to stay calm and remember that it’s just two people having a conversation and getting to know each other. Be confident and believe in the value you bring to the table!

Thank you for posting this. I took a lot from this video. This has been good adivce.

Currently enrolled at Wgu master program

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am finishing my degree and preparing for my student teaching, and the interview process is intimidating. I feel prepared but worry that having earned my degree online will make me a less desirable candidate.

This is great advice. I will utilize these tips during my interviews after I graduate from WGU

Great tips!

Great advice! And before you go, take a breath and remember all those skills you've worked for - you've got this!

I agree with this advice. I have been in the past for interviews, and every topic mentioned has been touched. For me, it was a little difficult to understand " tell me about yourself" Until I learned they do not want to know that I am a Beyonce fanatic but what interchangeable skills I have that can be used in a work environment like attention to detail, goal-oriented and etc. Good Luck in your WGU journey

I just recently enrolled at WGU and so far my experience has been amazing. They are always so eager to help and have answers to all questions presented to them. When I get to the point of needing to start interviewing for a job I believe that the best advice I can give is being yourself. Interviewers can tell if you aren't yourself and that can be the make and break decision for getting the job. Another piece of advice is making sure that you are confident in your answers. Interviewing can be nerve racking, but you know what you're talking about and show them that you do!

G-P-R great advice and perfect timing. Thank you, I needed this!

Good video thank you. There were several things in there that were small but i feel make a big difference in interviews that are always good to keep in mind like for instance even if a job is a stepping stone for you not making it seem like that so your not over looked. Practice makes perfect and interviews are always stressful and difficult but practicing over and over always helps me. I do like that with WGU I am able to go into the interview with all these certifications because I very much believe that will be a huge advantage in the interview process being able to inform your potential employer of all the certifications you already have. Thank you for the video some good advice in there for interviews.

The last two questions are incredibly common, but I have never heard the first one. Though I guess it could be reworded as "tell me about a time you've had to deal with a difficult customer." In my experience, being honest while adding some "spice" to an otherwise typical story helps when answering those "tell me about a time..." questions. What I mean is making working at a coffee shop, for example, sound professional. Customers are now clients; you can keep the fast-paced environment because that's useful. Counted registers? That's money handling. A lot of coffee drinks require attention to detail (there is a difference between a latte, a macchiato, a cappuccino, and a mocha). It may seem mundane, but employers love those skills.

I think the most important part of nailing an interview is being personable and likable. Its hard to find a job right now and being calm and comfortable and willing to hold a conversation can set you apart from the rest!

Thank you for the tips! Great video.

Amazing video! One piece of advice I'd like to share is to "under promise and overdeliver." A silly example to clarify what I mean by this is, "I can play Vivaldi's Summer" but you only play the easy part (over promise and under deliver) vs. "I can play a little bit of Vivaldi's Summer" but playing some of the harder parts as well (under promise and over deliver.)

He nailed it. When I was a hiring manager in customer service, I always looked for someone personable and engaged. I knew I was going to hire a prospect if they could hold a conversation. These questions are the tip of the iceburg, but a great starting point for interview prep!

Great advice! Love the video!

Being able to be yourself in an interview is very important. It's definitely nerve racking to do a job interview but using this video to prepare definitely helps. Will be looking back here when I start having interviews again.

I have yet to start my job search but planning to after I finish student teaching and graduate. But my mine advice would be to just prepare for common questions and know the basics of the position/job you're interviewing for.

Thank you for another great video. Practice and revising are going to be important steps for me. I cannot go in and just wing it! WGU is helping me gain the knowledge I need, I need to make sure I can show that I have it.

Thank you for sharing your experience . I had a similar experience with Wgu. Since I got my degree , and I got more interviews and job offers than before. Also , the job offers are getting better with higher pay. I am grateful for my experience with Wgu

This is great advice. Interviewing for jobs is not something I'm looking forward to. When answering questions about previous conflicts, I've always heard that it is a good point to make that you "put yourself in the others shoes" before proceeding.
