Thanks Erika. It is amazing how much you know about a person interest and thinking by asking a general question.

In the process! Thank you! This kinda stressed me out 🥹 Watching it again

THANK You Erika for doing this video, immensely helpful for any TPM in job market. I am in currently prepping for Meta 45 min Video Screening Interview with "a Hiring Manager" not "the Hiring Manager"(its not a phone interview). Can you do a video on some commonly asked behavioral questions, and techniques to best ans them as a TPM?

This is the feedback I got from my GCA interview: If you're preparing for a higher-level role (like IC5 or above), focus on limiting the number of questions you ask and make sure they align with the level you're interviewing for. Your assumptions should demonstrate that you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals expected at your job title.

This has helped me more than any other video I've watched. Ever. I even impressed the recruiter on a phone screen using this formula! Can you please do some interviews for BA, product manager, or product owner for a non faang company?

Wish I had known about you videos several interview loops ago. Your content is AMAZING! I’m so grateful. Is the comp band the same as the salary range in job description?

Very detailed and insightful information. Thank you so much!

I am struggling a bit with knowing which questions are appropriate to ask at the end of phone screenings with recruiters. Example: should I ask about the Contract company or the client I would work for? I tend to migrate towards questions that only the client company would be able to answer, like about the team I would work on. Any advice on this? This is a serious struggle for me and I have been searching for momths.. How much does a recruiter really know about the company or industry?

Hi, i applied for the Google Bold internship (Google Cloud) and I was wondering what type of questions do you think they'll ask me in regards to GCA and Behavioral?

The answer to the first question is missing.

Do you have any video talking about Commodity Management/Sourcing / Vendor Management roles?

Hi @Erika, thank you so much for this video and for breaking down how to approach answering interview questions. I really appreciate the effort and clarity you put into explaining the process. However, I wanted to offer a suggestion that I believe is still relevant today. The term “colonization,” even if not intended harmfully in this context, may not be the best choice. Historically, colonization has been tied to extremely painful and destructive events, including slavery. As someone of Black African descent, I feel it’s important to recognize these associations. If, in the future, humans plan to move and settle on another planet-especially if it’s uninhabited-a better term might be “migration,” “settling,” or “cultivating,” rather than “colonization.” I understand that your example was made in good faith, but offering suggestions from different perspectives can help build a more inclusive world for everyone. It does concern me that, even in 2023/2024, terms like “colonization” are sometimes used without deeper consideration of the history and impact they carry. It’s important for all of us to be mindful of the language we use, as it reflects the values and awareness of our surroundings and the organizations that shape us. Thank you again for your hard work and dedication in creating content that helps so many people. I truly believe that by engaging in thoughtful conversations like this, we can challenge outdated ideas, raise awareness, and inspire a more inclusive and understanding future. I’m confident that with creators like you leading by example, we can all contribute to a more thoughtful, empathetic, and progressive world. Sincerely, Yann

Hi, thank you for the video it is really helpfull. Can you suggest something for a fresher?

Google posted on their website they are not longer asking brain teasing questions.

Thanks for the video. Your examples seem to be from the perspective of people who are high level or at the executive level. What about people who have beginner to mid experience levels and don't have the grandiose experiences in your answer examples? I think the reason these questions stump people is because they likely haven't experienced the situations before.

Thankyou so much Erika, I have good ideas now to handle these sorts of questions, they seem overwhelming and unsolvable at first!

Each step was explained in detail and was very helpful.

Love your perspective. Treating the interviewer as a partner working through an impossible task together really makes me feel a lot more comfortable about this interview.

Hi there, I really like your content, but I have to ask a favor, which might be something that other listeners also think about it… That is your background music. I am so sorry for being so direct, but this is because I do like your guidance. However, the background music is too harsh and distracting - it makes it difficult to listen to you for 30-40mins. My two cents - when you speak, you honestly don’t need to play anything in the background. You have a beautiful and calming voice, that is sufficient for itself. If you really love to have a background music, then I’d like to suggest something very soft. Again, I am sharing this with you because I do like you and would like to continue listening to you. 😀 Thank you in advance for reading my comment and for considering my suggestion. Best, SD

This is really helpful

Hello Erika, I have an interview for an account executive engage position. What would you advise me, I an quite confident about myself but I would like to have a too for this exact role if you don’t mind 🙏🏻❤

Hey Erika, thanks for the info. I was considered by two teams by two different recruiters, on said to me that she hasn’t heard anything yet and that she will keep me posted, but the second one doesn’t respond my emails. Should I asume he ghosted me? Should I reach by phone?

In a previous life I was an excellent ribbon dancer.

Awesome thank you. So how would this go for DC tech roles? Same just more technical? I have my interview this Tuesday.

Your videos and frameworks for answering are extremely useful. Thank you!

Great tips… Any tips for a desktop support/help desk specialist transition to Google data center hardware technician . I got called in for interviews in 2 weeks. 🎉

Music background is annoying and so distracting

Thanks for your tips! Great frameworks. I’ll apply these and let you know how it goes!

Thank you for sharing the knowledge Erika, I am getting back into the job market after 3 years and your videos gave me the confidence I needed to ACE the interview process.

I am surprised that your channel and series have not gotten way more views like some other “louder” channels. You are the real deal. You are genuine and full of empathy and true professional insights, and very much under appreciated. I am glad that I am one of the few that found your invaluable contribution and amazing efforts to make me feel like I have a coach next to me to cheer me on. Please do not get discouraged by the views. You will get there and you have those of us to cheer you on. Please continue to do what you do. I am eternally grateful for your beautiful self and your work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You make me feel less alone in this job searching ordeal. Blessings… ❤

After every interview, I felt that I should have said it the other way or another example. Is this normal as we don’t have any right/ wrong answers to these questions

8:36 I defintely have!

Super helpful, thanks Erika!

This was really good for me. Help me a lot with my negotiation

Hi Erika, I interviewed for a manager position for our competitors, they are building a new plant and are getting ready to run production next week. One of the top managers who interviewed me really like me, he came from the same company I am currently on and click right away, normally there is a f/u interview and he wave it. The next day the recruiter call me in morning and told me they really like and his putting an offer together. I did put a desire salary when I applied so I made the mistake. When the recruiter call me I asked what grade they are giving me. I went ahead research and if they offer what I asked it will be very low for the grade. I am still waiting for the offer

Thanks!

Love this video to Mars and back

Extremely helpful!!

Thank you very much!!

good video, but as a starter, after viewing 1/3 of the video, not find a sample question at all...feel like building a house in the sky...

Thanks for the video but Henry Ford never invented a car.

Hi Erika, first of all, many thanks for this video. I wonder why my recruiter didn't provide this information. Next week I am going to have the round of 3 interviews: rrk, gca and googliness. I'am applying for a TAM lead role. What type of GCA questions do you recommend me to study the most? Also, do you think it is to late for coaching?

I watching and loving but the background music is sooo loud ...

I have an interview for Google Data center tech. Im nervous because ive only had helpdesk jobs, nothing fancy. Ive never had an interview go from 45 mins 15 min break 45 more mins and 15 mins then finally 45 mins. Ive never sat and held a professional convo because I do help desk and they do not care about who you are. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.

Hi Erica, I am interviewing at the firm next week and the role is in Finance Operations, the job is first in the country as they are trying to expand at different locations and it is directly with the hiring manager, what type of questions do expect and how to address those?

Thanks Erica. If the comp band they share is below the lowest number once will aceept, should we just put an end to the conversation right then? Or continue with the process and try and negotiate later?

😮😅 is this hypothetical question? Or Google would really ask about something so... imaginary?

Google does have multiple program management role profiles including t/PgM. I’d say they are closer to a CTO, whilst program managers (without the « t ») would be closer to COO. PgMs are often staffing the projects within their program(s) or portfolios of programs

could easily have been a 3 minute video

Hi Erica, Thanks alot for this amazing video,the video helped me to understand the concept and got really good example question, I've applied for Salesforce Analyst role do you think I should be preparing all 3 types of questions?
