All of it. Expectations are to fake.. how about the company goes through an audit before you apply? Funny how we have to lay over backwards to be disrespected.. especially in a right to work state.. I believe this all works in a church. But we are in the real world.. not on a hill in a million dollar home lying to ourselves..
Not to trash the previous employer.
@@MuhammadBinZafar1 i was just about to say the same. :-)
@@MuhammadBinZafar1 Indeed. A challenging one for me. How to frame that in a positive light? I'm definitely going to have to rehearse that one a bit. 😏
Don't beat yourself up if you don't get a job because it is very competitive nowadays. One opening job, there are too many applicants. Also, some hiring managers like males more than females or vice versa or they like some certain race. We don't know what they are thinking. Getting a job also depends on luck.
Unfortunately, not luck, as much as deeply rooted prejudice sometimes. We know there are laws against discrimination in the workplace. I would say 99% of the discrimination that happens in relation to work, goes under wraps, in a very tight, interpersonal sphere, be clearly perceived (or at least felt, somewhat) by the recipient, and still, not be accounted for, in a way that can be brought to the surface. There are people who have already half dismissed an applicant before he / she enters the room, based on their last name.
@@1keyl Agree. Last names matter a lot for some certain jobs.
Yeah, total discrimination, which is highly illegal but difficult to prove, and totally (and ironically) encouraged with all the DEI bullcrap companies are pushing these days. It should be about qualifications and personality, NOT superficial crap like gender, skin color, etc. 🤬
@@1keyl DEI is at its very core, discriminatory. Period! Yet, it's somehow become culturally accepted and even celebrated. How hypocritical is that? We decry racism on one hand, and on the other celebrate institutionalized discrimination as long as its in favor of brown people? WTAF!? So loving! So tolerant! So compassionate! 🤮 How about we actually put our money where our mouth is and deeply contemplate those famous words spoken by the great civil rights leader having streets named after him in virtually every large city, MLK Jr. to "not be judged by the color of [our] skin but by the content of [our] character." It's remarkable to me how blind people are to their own hypocrisy. The irony of that is staggering.
Truthfully. I totally agree with you.
I had not been interviewed for a job in 24 years. The separation from my last position was not my choice. I anguished about the way I would inform my next opportunity because I did not want to tear down my employer even if they warranted a derogatory review. This was a positive way to talk about the separation. I used it in the interview. The interviewer stated that it was the most professional explanation she had heard to date. Sincerely, Thank you!
it just sucks when your not a naturally talkative person and you want to showcase your skills but they dont ask you any technical questions, or pretty much any questions. i been interviewing for simple maintenance mechanic jobs I had like 5 interviews this month that were basically meet and greet. it's just so awkward for me to brag about myself especially when they dont even ask me anything aside from why did you leave your last job. i swear sometimes i think some places just have to make a quota for how many people they interview and they already know by your resume that they dont want you but they call you in anyways.
What they are asking is- are you going to be a pain in the butt? - a chronic no show/ late, injury prone, not able to meld into the culture they have. A way around this is for you to say, while I am confident in my abilities and happy to talk about them I detail, I want you to know that I am my abilities are a result of my personal high standards which include reliability ,attention to detail , being self motivated whilst also able work as a team member. I ask for help when I need it, and am curious and enjoy learning. Also, due to your job, incorporate a strong statement about safety.- again, not a liability. This is the crux of Every interview- litigation.
@@jm7514 what you're saying is true and great advice, but what i was trying to say is i had a few interviews where they didn't really ask me anything at all, and i had the feeling i was just there because they wanted to interview X number of people before they hired someone. a few weeks after i wrote that i got hired for a decent job that i am happy with atm. at that interview they did ask me a few things and i could tell they were interested. and yea they mostly wanted to see how dependable and motivated i was.
Thank you so much for the video❤ Super helpful and easy to understand!
Great video and thoughtfull advice. Not only for job interviews but how to make a right impression.
Thanks so kindly for this video!! I've got my list of 6 and am reviewing them !!
It’s so daunting so many dos and fonts I never know what to say or not. I feel like sometimes employers already know who they’re going to choose it’s all in who you know it seems like.
Thank you for this info. I am leaving an industry for another and my skills are a bit rusty. Most of what was said is common sense . Body language is the best skill to have when dealing with people as it can tell you a lot of what the person is about. The people who interview you may have this skill and see through your deception or outright lie. In an industry, it's conceivable that the interviewer might know your old boss and will verify your answers to questions so, use caution.
This is great and a great video!! Thank you!!
Thank you! Great tips
Thank you for share!
Very informative especially when you don't bring up personal your life.
The suggestion not to talk trash about your former company is very good, but the suggested alternative(2:15) is the same trash, just a little bit wordy . The interviewee makes an impression of a person who tries not to talk trash, but can't resist the temptation.
It isn't trash though. I think she means " just don't curse". hahaha. At least the person didn't curse the heck out of the former employer, like they probably should have is what I mean.
Thank you for using your power to place the SF Muslim community in timely opportunities on behalf of the nation and SF. I have always encounted talented individuals who identify as Muslim in SF. I have only met good people who happen to be Muslim in SF
Great info!!!

What happens if the recruiter questions your resume especially if there's a lot of gaps?
Sinead can you do a collaboration with Indeed and Clevver style on how to dress for an interview?
Had a job interview today and I am
Pretty sure I did not get it. Short interviews are never good. Plus I was going up against other internal candidates and I am an external candidate.
Did you get the job? Good luck to you!
Update?
Thanks, I hope this vid help me when I'm going for my job interview in the future🙏🏽
We hope so too, Aaron! Thanks for watching and best of luck to the future of your professional career 🙏🏽
thank you megan markle :)
me watching this before my high school esports officer applications
Thanks a lot for such informative videos. Request your advice on getting back into workforce after 2+ years of career gap due to medical emergency at home. I couldn't upskill myself during this period as most of the time was spent on taking care of my ailing mother. Since situation is settled now and I am ready to join workforce but it seems to be a dead end as no reply from companies despite of multiple applications having ATS friendly Resume'. I left my last job as an AVP-Finance and would like to restart with same level or a level below at least. Can you please help me in such situation by sharing your suggestions? Thanks!

I wouldn't have my current job if I hadn't trashed my previous employer.
But my previous employer may have set up his whole business based on intellectual property stolen from my current employer.
I had to be clear that in no uncertain terms that I would never deal with my previous employer again.
Still there is a good and bad ways to express those feelings
Thank you, Selena Gomez, for helping me prepare for this interview
the more i watch these videos the more i learn what to do next on my interview plus you look like Meghan Marckle's younger sister!
Let's talk
When saying why you are leaving would it be appropriate to say that your current boss is coming to the company and you want to follow her because she is the best boss you've had. Because honestly I wasn't really looking, thie opportunity kimd.of just fell jnto my lap
To get the most difficult job, giving an interview in English language and taking a test for another job is also sitting in front of the interviewer who does not have the resources, it is the hardest job in the world for these candidates. And fulfilling it is also their dream😐
So what about if I don’t speak English very well?
I don't believe that using past experiences are bad. Especially when you have a gap, or your work experience is at college. Or a job is entry level. What else are you supposed to use? This is just making people scared of using good stories and experiences. If is valid for that position, I don't see a problem to use it.
4:51 I would be very skeptical about someone who says they went from zero experience to doing professional development without doing a complete 100% career pivot ... I wouldn't bring up something as impressive sounding as this unless you can speak in very specific detail with someone who knows this kind of thing well... if you clearly don't know what you're talking about in any deep level, it ends up feeling like a bait and switch to the hiring manager
The way interviewers judge people is how every company her so many bad employees that don't work. Lazy people got the interview part down packed. But don't perform or work at the job. Meanwhile, the hardworking people that gives a great performance, is looked over and unemployed. And left with no choice but to robbed the interviewers, invade their homes and Jack their cars. How else are they going to eat? Everybody don't have the gift of gabbed.
Great advice. But, can Indeed invest in a mic. Your computer mic sounds like you are in a closet.
Good stuff!
If asking about work/life balance is a red flag then that is the type of company most people do not want to work for. The days of working 50+ hours and not being able to use PTO are gone. Just say you don't value your employees as humans and expect robots without families or hobbies.
Why do we need to play this game
Dude: you guys committed murder on me and are doing with Wisconsin, Indeed.
Megan Markle!😍
omg its sinead hahaha how old is this
Its no wonder women are getting harassed in the workplaces they are not allowed to complain!
pls use a mic next time
First off... your getting a job. An Interview... these videos make it seem like employers are gods.God's.. crazy because the interviewer had alot of faults.. you don't have to be miss perfect for an interview.. this is not church.. if it was 90 percent would fail.. not sure why the world seems to be so fake..
you see it wrong. take nr 1, "dont trash your exboss." a person who detailed trashes his boss simply shows he possibly will talk negatively behind peoples back. defenitely a risk and not a team player.
the same goes for a new relation, how about you meet somebody new, and the person trashes his/her ex...? you might wonder if such a person is a good partner for you bc she/he might easily do it later to you, trashing you behind your back.
You would be amazed over what people bring themselves to say in interviews, especially if they're caught off guard. That's why it's important to prepare well.
The grammar errors in this comment would be the first reason I would not hire you. Second, I will share an amazing tip I was given in my lifetime about seeking other job opportunities: work on your mindset. Until you do that, you won't be successful in getting the job you want and deserve.
@@Itselisamolina no one wants to work for you anyway
To sum it all, BE FAKE
She could literally play Megan Markle in a movie. But she needs an actual mic next time. I'm so distracted by the echo in her voice. Why do we need such a script for a job?? Who really cares for these silly rules of employment? Everybody has a bad experience at a job at some point. And sometimes it's a really toxic environment. Employers should already know that you had a bad experience at ur current or last job obviously, cuz that's why ur applying for a new job in the first place. I really hate that they expect u to lie. Cuz no one in their right mind really means some of the things they say in an interview sometimes. Granted, ppl should still have the skills and experience or education required for the job before applying. But they wanna hire someone perfect with the perfect answers. But no one is perfect. Ppl will fake it till they make it. Even the person doing the interview should understand this cuz they've prob exaggerated or omitted things from their own job interview or resume. I think the most annoying question is, "Why do u wanna work here?" 'Because like you and everyone else in the world, I need a job to support myself and my family. This seems like a decent environment'. Why does it need to be more complicated than that? I feel like specific petty details like these keep ppl from getting a job sooner. And can we please get rid of the cover letter?? It just feels very pointless and redundant at this period in time.
I was applying for a restaurant job where they wanted a 1 minute video of myself telling them why I wanna work there😂 I’m like ok, they should do one back telling me why they want me. Same thing with references, If I give you mine you give me 3 employee references
Respectfully, I disagree with everything you said.....simple and short advice :just simply: BE yourself ...... your video is for people who want to be " Robat " or parrot you yourself reading everything from scripts!!!
What if they ask your pronouns lol
So in other words act like a programmable Robot 🤖 or the most Boring person in the world with no dignity or Moxie 😮 just to get a stinking job? You new generation people are NUTS. BTW who owns the rights to the so called interview? If this is considered LEGAL, I also have the right to have my Attorney with me during the interview! 😂 how’s that for egg on the snobby interviewer’s FACE!!! 😡
And never wear black colors as a coach or in a job interview..
Why not 🤔 I’m truly curious
