    Erin, just had an interview today and used your past present and future template for the tell me about yourself question. Rehearsed it. Baby they didn’t even know how to respond it was so good! 😂 Also have been watching your other videos with tips, im pretty confident i have the job. Also have another interview Monday. Thank you! Please don’t stop making content. So many people struggle with interviews. You are LITERALLY Saving lives!

    Speaking from experience this is one of the best interview questions if you know your answer ahead of time. They're literally throwing you a free opportunity to talk about how great and experienced you are and introduce yourself as the perfect candidate.

    I never ask this when I interview anyone . It’s a waste of time . And frankly I don’t care , I just want to know, can they do the job ?

    Do you have any tips for my first job interview! I'm 16 and want to work at a place that my dad's boss owns. (My dad is a Maintenace man/manager) I'm scared that they won't hire me because of my dad's background. Everyone knows him. Any advice?

    I've always been taught to answer this question like that. But a couple times in a group interviews I watched people answer in the "unprofessional" way and they were selected for the job. I've also learned after dozens of interviews that personality hires are real. Sometimes you get hired or a rejection based off of vibes.

    Immediate elevator pitch but making a mental note that the interviewer hasn't done their homework.

    Yes it is the dopiest interview question as it means nothing.
    And for the job, the interviewer does have the resume in front of them.

    Any advice for when an interviewer asks, "Tell me about yourself? I have your resume in front of me so no need to walk through every step..." Or something to that variation? The second part throws me off. How should I answer?
