I love this channel of course I’ll share this video! You make my day thank you so much for making amazing videos! Your an inspiration! 🥺😊👏💕
@autumn S same im not intro or extro
@Autumn S haha I can also relate 😂😂😂🥲
Great video. Also, the part about open offices and locking doors so no one can talk to you reminds me of Ron Swanson from parks and rec.
I cannot share with a fellow introvert as I have no introverted friends...or human friends of any kind... But I will share with my ESFP sister.
Also would love to "buy you a coffee", maybe once my bank account gets sorted out.🤞
Thanks for another awesome video, you're very witty and clever and great at making people smile, have a laugh, and feel understood. Keep up the amazing work 💟👍
Q: Why do you want to work with us?
A: I don't. I just want the money.
Tee hee, a *very* honest interview & what we’re all thinking 😆
Technically, you do want to work with them: you want to work with them to get money
I actually said that once and the interviewer seemed like he could relate.
I decided I wanted to do something else with my life after a week, because there were way too many people for my taste...
"well, I've always felt passionately about not starving to death"
Ah! The money! That thing I like.
"Why do you want this job?"
"I've always been very passionate about not starving to death"
"And I don't know how to grow my own food. If I could I wouldn't be here."
Mood
Aka MONEY. 🤣
@@streatymcmeaty8962 so i can pay my rent I wish I could say that in every interview
Same!
I think interviews are actually a test of how well you can lie under pressure while looking innocent and enthusiastic. Thats actually a job requirement for many companies. How well you can behave like a trained dog because they need you to be a robot really. Take orders, don't cause trouble and just accept your value to the company is equal to the printer - the only noise you are required to make is because you're working..
Sigh this makes me feel things…I don’t know what they are but I feel things…😅🥺
Damn man, this actually makes sense
time to cancel society and make a new social contract.
What happened to the 1960's when a person could get a job and stay there for 20 years knowing as long as he did his best for the company they'd take care of him while giving him enough to be able to buy a home and take care of a wife and children.
Was that just some TV land fever dream? Anti communist propaganda?
@StraightShooterGaming - Turns out that when you blow most of the modern world to hell except for one country, that country has a huge economic advantage. Especially when all the young men come home with military training.
To break an economy like that you really need to do something drastic, like exporting jobs and importing labor for the ones you can't export in order to keep wages down until inflation annihilates the middle class.
@@khatharrmalkavian3306 There's a lot more to it than that.
"I'm very selfmotivated when I want to accomplish something, but chances of that happening with anything work related are like zero" - I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
It's an on/off button - I understand it. Add three hours of commuting with other 'beings' - a nightmare ;)
I'm in this picture and I like it.
You’re judging yourself a bit☺️
I thought that this was literally every person that ever existed. Do people exist that get motivated to accomplish work related stuff? Poor bastards. The Company is just going to burn them out then lay them off.
If introverts were honest at a job interview...
We’d all be unemployed. 🤷🏼♀️
100% truth.
Amen to that. Wish there was only one company that hires only introverts
@@royalpain9281 we wish😂😂😂
If you were that honest they would definitely remember you.
No a lot of programmers are introvert or even have Asperger syndrome. It is a comedy video exaggerating things. The guy there is extremally lazy so it is obvious he will not get any job.
i lold at “i dont see how any position at this company could be anyone’s dream job”
Me at almost every interview I’ve ever been to!
This has gone through my head at 90% of the interviews I've ever been on!
Lol
Pretty much! I want a job at your company because I like to eat and live with a roof over my head.
It has always been my feelings... others who sell their soul to these companies I do not get at all.
The interwiever acting like you're doing great no matter how horribly it's going is too accurate
Sounds like my last interview (which I didn't pass)
True story...I actually burst into tears in an interview about 13 years ago. Still waiting to hear either way....
American style I must say 😅
"Fire me"
"Congratulations, you were promoted to customer"
"Hire me."
"Congratulations, you've been demoted to employee."
Hello fellow intp.
Sounds like a Michael Scott sentence lol
“You’ve been disqualified from your position. If you do not like this decision, see Human Resources.”
“I feel like every answer I’ve given you today is a mistake” mood
Was at your comment as soon as FJ said this lol. 😂
I had my annual appraisal today. Mood.
The worst question in any job application/interview: Are you a _people_ person?
Sure if you count the people in my head.
"I'm more of a cat person."
I am a people
"I thought I was a people person until I actually started working with people. Now I'm more of an avoiding people person."
@@roninsjourney7560 Best answer! I don't see how you didn't get more up-votes. I'll use this to break the ice, get a chuckle, before evading the question entirely.
"There was a time I had to collaborate on a team project, which was very difficult. I overcame it by calling in sick that whole week."
"Creative!" I died 😂
That also works.
I’m hoping not literally though..!
Plot twist: he’s not talking to himself , he just has a lot of identical siblings
like Ryan George, and Julie Nolke and I know there are more. Funny people
If y’all like my pfp get REKT cuz I drew it (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
😂
Ya boi prolly has so many siblings he’s had a different one every vid
Or he learned how to clone before everyone else
If honesty is the best policy, you should be hired 😂
Exactly 🤣👍
If honesty is the best policy, he'd be the CEO. ROFL
yep

wait, why the laughing emoji, were these bad answers?!? INTERVIEWS R TORTUREEE!!!!!11!!!!!!!
" I surpressed my emotion all day , then eat and drink all night to numb myself "
Not sure if I want to laugh or cry but it hit me hard in so many levels .
It's worse that I am currently doing that.
Its true tho u do
Same here :(
At my last job, I noticed that introverts in the office actually worked 8 hours while extroverts only actually worked 5-6 hours because of all the socializing in between. As an introvert, I tried socializing one day to see how long it would take, after 30 minutes of socializing I realized that I had to stop or else I would not get anything done that day.
And, it seems to me that extroverts have more energy as well.
Communication is important though. That's why e-mail exists.
@@davidwuhrer6704 And people still want you to do phone calls even though texting or writing a mail in which you have time to think about what you want to say is way easier.
@@jackiem9460 They definitely have more social energy. When it comes to powering through checking expiration dates on 4,000 items by yourself, with no help, I think introverts will push through the isolation of a solo job for a longer time before they get restless. Extroverts will tend to get restless and seek out people to talk to. If the job requires constant human interaction, extroverts will come through it with a lot more energy in the end, and most jobs require human interaction.
@@jackiem9460 I've always found it weird that people who slack off at work and people who take their job seriously , get paid the same and can't negotiate because of minimum wage laws
“So tell me about yourself.”
*panic attack*
Omg that’s my least favorite thing ever
@@pawsnotclaws2772 this is why I work from home now, I hate those questions 😭
@@knmonlinemedia what do you do?
@@pawsnotclaws2772 i'm a software developer 🤓
Yeah i mean what should we answer it. What do you want to know from us? Do my Answer the one you're looking for? Do i will hurt you if i answer it honest?
"I can make phone calls now without drowning in anxiety for hours before I forced myself to dial the number." -I feel that on so many levels 🙃
And then, they don't answer and you get the dreaded voicemail, and YOU HAVE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS UH MA GAD and then you you leave some warbling rambling nonsense message that is saved in hard copy to someone's equipment 😧
I’m not there yet
One of my proudest accomplishments is my ability to make phone calls haha. I have come so far
@@youreworthyourweightinavoc7189 yeahh I'm not prepared for a situation where people did not take my call! I'll panic and take it personally thinking if I do something wrong to them that make them upset or something
I’m still there unfortunately. I got a job thanks to my familly connections. I would probably drop dead at job interview. I lost friends because I was afraid to call them back after few days and ended up ghosting them for months/years (I’m still thinking about them though). But I’m calling my doctor myself so that’s a progress.
"No. But I would lie *TO* this company, specifically to get this job." That line had me rolling XD
“I don’t see how any position in your company could be anyone’s dream job”. That is brilliant. It’s as true as it is harsh. And I’ve thought similar things when interviewers have asked me why I want to work for them.
Try sarcasm. This position is a recurring dream of mine, has been for ages, I awake so refreshed and happy each time I have it.
This whole video is so true😄
Hehe
@@mistert464 Yes and that is what is so scary.
@@tammythom9825 Thats why i find job interviews annoying, stupid questions which the answers should be fantasy lies.
Can’t we just lock them out of the office and hope they get the hint? 😂😂😂

We won't!
That bit had me in stitches! 🤣
I'm a subscriber too! Good to see you here respectable ma'am...hello!
Red stapler... Swingline.
I honestly feel so annoyed by the question “why do you want this job?”
I OBVIOUSLY WANT THE MONEY.
I feel like it’s a game of who can come up with the most most interesting story
My last job interview they asked me this question and I said. "I gotta be honest with you. Mama raised me to understand that work is what generates money. So if I want money to pay the bills, I gotta go to work. As long as you promise to pay me, I'll be here and work to the best of my ability."
I still work there
@@RaindropsBleeding wow I guess I’m getting some inspiration for when I grow up.
@@lakshyapatil4372 be careful with that. When an employer asks "why do you want to work here?" They're not asking why you want to work. They know you're all about being able to afford groceries. They want to know why you chose them over Joe's doughnut shop down the street, because it will tell them about what drives you, what your work ethic and ambition is, and what they can probably expect from you as an employee. I got away with my answer because it was not only honest, but it expressed that I am driven by honor and mutual respect, and that my work ethic is as high as they need it to be and I'm not going to just leave because I hate working. It would also have communicated that I might dump them if offered a higher paying job, but I took that risk because I knew they were desperate for someone to fill my position and I had already told them I had another interview that day. I was absolutely trying to let them know that I could look elsewhere if I didn't like them.
Tl;dr the question is not what it seems at first, so be thoughtful about your answer.
@@RaindropsBleeding thank you man. I’ll have this in mind.
@@RaindropsBleeding to be fair, the answer is Still often "you actually have open positions I'm qualified for and are located somewhere I can actually get to'"
In my very first interview, one of the question was: "Why did you apply here?"" My answer was "Because there was a Job Opening" and I saw her die Inside. She called me again reconsidering me for another position which doesn't require much talking. I love that HR hahaha.
I was once asked about my "management style" in a job interview. This was my answer:
"First, spend about one month observing who works and who does not. Then fire those who don't work. Next, make absolutely certain everyone has all the tools, materials, and supplies necessary to do their work. After that, stay the hell out of their way and let 'em do their jobs because they absolute one thing working people do not need is a manager always looking over their shoulder."
The lady smiled and said, "I have never heard it put more simply or truthfully."
That was 20 years ago. Is it safe to assume I didn't get the job?
Every manager I ever had management style was the complete opposite of what you stated and they stay managers for years and get promoted.
@@reijigamer
And that's why when these discussions of jobs, employment, working for a living go further (meaning online and not "here," in person, in "real life" where I live), I make it a point to always limit my observations and conclusions to my life here (01) in southwest Virginia (i.e., maybe it's a "southern" thing, or maybe small town v city?) and (02) those 49 years 01 month 13 days of (03) full-time (04) blue-collar labor that ended with me (05) having worked for sixty employers .
And it always begins with #1: I am the first to admit I always had a real problem with "authority figures" in the world of "corporate America" and working for a living. I.E., maybe it's just "me"?
So omit all that lengthy history of socio-political-economic changes in my lifetime (but it really does "factor into" these little discussions very much) and all reduces to I worked for exactly three "managers"--male--I would have walked through hell for. Most of the rest? I would sent them there if I had the power.
But I have always envied people like you, people who actually have fond memories of the good people they worked for.
Reiji, you stay safe and be well.
I suspect you did get the job, unless of course you were interviewing for a government job.
@@lynndietz476
Nope.
She made her comment...which I truly appreciated...and so it was my turn. I said only, "So when do I start?"
Her face turned red and she started to speak and I said, "That's okay. You're looking for that [and I made air-quotes] 'perfect candidate' and that's not me, now is it?" I walked out.
And government jobs? Only one: A correctional office at a state prison. That was back in '78 and that really was the beginning of me hating all-things "government". The inmates? Pfft. No problem. Everything from scum of the earth to otherwise decent chaps who truly had f'd up and they knew it. The rest, the officers, the "system"? Nine months of that madness was all I could take.
Making phone calls without drowning in anxiety? You're my hero! 😅
It's another level of improvement
@@isabellajimenezhoyos845 ikr
I’m an INFP but I don’t really find phone calls anxiety inducing. I just don’t enjoy them most of the time, I just use them as a means to an end. Which could be food, or help from customer service.
important calls take me all day to psych myself up for. Emails take hours to write ONE. Feel like I don't belong here I can't communicate. But every now and then I'll talk to someone and the conversation just flows like we've always known each other and it's easy.
@@recoveringsoul755 the world is not made for introverts. It's structured for extroverts...
"Okay, What motivates you?"
"I'm very self-motivated when I want to accomplish something, but the chances of that happening with something work-related are like zero"
Yeah I can't agree more with that, it's so true and happened a lot 😂
I personally related to this one.
I can be motivated about accomplishing things that are work related as long as people leave me alone and let me do it my way. :)
@@theoneandonlyCatseye i feel that way too, sadly companies put accent on communication as if it is so important compared to a job well done.
I end up being motivated to accomplish something work related so I don't have to deal with the situation where I have to deal with management when I don't accomplish it. Only reason
This one was so on point xD
As a college student trying to fake my way through shit loads of interviews this is so relatable. It’s like describing myself as the Rock while I am actually Tyrion Lannister but dumber

When my company started having us work from home, the outgoing people were having trouble dealing with it. For me, it's been fantastic. I don't have to deal with all the people. It's wonderful.
I'm outgoing but have ADHD. Working from home has been fantastic bc I'm more productive!
Company talks - "Well, since the performance has been the same or even higher for some people, why don't we keep the indefinite home office with a possibility for in-office work for those who need it?"
Answer: "Well, some people just feel that person to person physical closeness just works better for productivity. Plus, personal relations are reaaallly important! :) "
Me internally: "Exxxxtrovertsssssssss."
/Well no, it was actually over 60 rich male control freaks from two-three countries away, who think that if you are not in the office you don't work, while the productivity has been much better for most colleagues than it would have been in-office./

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Frank: Hopefully not here.
I think I told my first job this 🤣. It was a store
where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Teaching.
I was there 7 years 🤣🤣🤣
Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: probably still trying to find a company that will accept me
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
-"Look buddy, im just trying to make it to Friday."
When asked where I saw myself in five years,I once told an interviewer, "your job" . We were both gone within two.
I remember somebody asking me this 5 years ago. I answered "i don't know." It was very honest and accurate answer, since now 5 years later i have no idea where i am.
My dream job: anything that involves zero interaction with other human beings in a calm place and flexible hours 😍

@@bluebellbell3725 What do you do?? Share the love!😄
@@bluebellbell3725 infp here and I did the same! I went freelance but the one weekly phone call and daily slack messaging with clients are still too much human interaction for me lol.

Well, when we're not in a pandemic anyways lol

Forcing an introvert to talk about themselves with a hiring manager (extrovert) is like forcing an 80 year old paraplegic into a fist fight with Mike Tyson.
💀💀
I really appreciate job ads that specify a 'bubbly personality' as part of the criteria as it means I don't waste my time applying. There's no way I can fake bubbly, even for an interview.
I HATE OPEN FLOOR PLANS!!! I reallly dont like when random people come up to me cos then I get disoriented and it takes a while to get back into my zone
@Autumn S hahaha this is why I lock my room!!
I hate how tech companies are making this their standard because "we are a family", "We have to work together as a team". My team, is my team, They have access to me, thats reasonable. I hate when some random person, from another team I dont even know the project interrupts me at my job, with something random.
I grew up in a house where a closed door was to be considered a LOCKED door. you knocked and waited to see if you would be invited in or if the door would even open.
Then I married a jerk who seemed to think even a locked door couldn't keep him away from me, so he'd just break down the dang doors. No privacy allowed. Arhhhhhh!!! 40years and now he's spying on me with electronic crap. Not Living with him but email and phone hacked. I give up. It was bad enough when I caught him reading my journal.

@@wlockhart Part of me thinks you dodged a bullet because I have had jobs with long-term work under pressure, and they got to me.
@@FlamingCockatiel Definitely. I got another job in the end. Working hard is sometimes important, but no one lies on their death bed saying 'I wish I had worked more hours in the corporate rat race'

Same...
I respect WayV Fans when I see them
@@-faith Haha I also double-took! 😂 Yay, guessed right! Been subbed for a while and wondered if you might also be INFJ because of the way you talk and handle sensitive subjects (clear, polite, friendly, pre-emptively diffuse conflict without sacrificing your beliefs / values -- thanks for your excellent diplomacy btw, WayV and the fandom are lucky to have you!), are organised (uploading lives within hours with consistent titles, Twitter updates the same) and enjoy / excel at multiple fields (languages, making pins, whatever your job is). I only spot these things and speculate because I'm the same though! 😄
This reminds me of when I (an INFJ) went to an internship interview with my teacher, and the lady interviewing asked if I was excited to possibly work there. I said, "Not particularly, I just need an internship to finish my course and this is not the worst option." My teacher gasped, the lady laughed and I got the internship.

Well, you’re self centred, overthinking, and maybe depressed. Perfect! You can start on Monday!

Honestly, every job interview is a game of 'who has the best story' aka 'who is the best liar'. Sometimes I do wonder if they even believe us at all.
My favorite part is when he asked "What is your ideal working environment?" A door🚪you can shut & lock (be left alone in peace) That is SO ME!😉I HATE to be in busy public areas where I have to deal with so many people saying "Good 🌅 Morning" a 100 times a day..Its so draining..The less people I have to deal with the better. I guess thats why I like working night shift lol😂
Interviewer: "Would you ever lie for a company?"
Applicant: "No. But I would lie to the company to get the job."
Lol I always do that and then realise the job doesn't even fit me at all.
I did actually have someone ask me that during an interview. I said no and I looked at them disgusted bc I'm a nurse and that would be unethical. I still got the job but decided not to work there bc then I knew the place was shady and could possibly jeapordize my license. Ugh. 😬
@@jackieocean3511
It's possible that they ask that to weed out the candidates who ARE unethical and only hire ethical workers, since you said you wouldn't lie and they still hired you.
Maybe I'm wrong, of course
@@TheVilivan Thats sounds about right. In New York, hospitals want at least 5 professional References. This is to ensure they dont hire someone who is going to miss work, quit without telling a supervisor weeks prior, and like you said, being unethical.
@@TheVilivan Yea, that crossed my mind when she asked me that but it still made me extremely uncomfortable and actually angry. I just about got up and walked out without finishing the interview.

Honestly texting is the same to me as talking on the phone only I seem to be less able to get my compassionate tone across and because I am blunt this sometimes makes people mad at me that I normally am able to talk to in person very well.
But I am somewhat of a mix of introvert and extrovert.
I like to talk alot but after a certain amount of deep conversations for the day I literally get tired.
For me this includes texting conversations.
@@SugarandSarcasm This was a very big rarity and sadly, it might be ending if my state doesn't renew our contract or if we can't find new states to contract with at the end of this year (yes, in one month's time. Even if the contract is renewed, they'll likely be cutting a lot of us as work has been very slow).
For shame...the job even paid for our insurance premiums so that wasn't deducted from our pay check so long as we got the basic employee only plan. We got zero PTO or holiday pay (holidays were paid out at the rate of regular days), but there was no constant requests for working overtime as we closed no later than 9PM. Saturdays are always only an 8AM to 12PM schedule so for me, I had two and a half days off from work, working four 9 hour days and then the four hour Saturday. If they have to let us go, I'm going to be sticking like glue to the job board for this company to get back on with them at a later date. Jobs like this only come around once in a century, especially for it to technically fall under customer service, a field notorious for underpaying and being very stressful.
@@ChristBearerFlameHeart Sounds like you're an ambivert, a mix of both an introvert and extrovert :) I would consider myself the same, though sounds like both you and I lean just a little more towards the introverted side :)
I prefer texting as I can think of how I wish to word myself much better than when having to speak directly on the spot on a phone. To make things even easier with my job, though, we use canned responses and we can only assist with a very limited amount of issues through our chat. However, I often find many of the responses to be a bit blunt. I'm allowed to freehand a response so long as what I'm telling them is still acurate. This way, I can be a little more polite and less robotic.
I’m the worst at job interviews always anxious and disturbed 😂🤷🏼♀️
SAME HEREEE SAMEEE
Same! I HATE selling myself. This video is my inner dialog the entire time. Fighting what I want to say vs what I should say. Lol 😆
Ha, you know I'm a disaster at them when I sigh before answering every question
Same too
I get so emotional, I feel on the edge of crying. It's humiliating. It really depends on the interviewer. Some are so welcoming and kind and others are just drilling you.
I wish humans could reach that level of honesty during job interviews. Like: "what do you apply for this job? Huh, because I need the money to eat...and buy video games"
a few probably 1 in 1000 employers would respect that honesty
I tried being honest in a job interview. I'll never do that again.
@@Hitsugix I think its important to work out what you MUST be honest on and what is more malleable
@@atomiccritter6492 Yeah, of course I'm honest about my profession grades and my personal data. Anything else tho... See, I'm a professional mortician (unemployed, thanks Covid) and the last time I was at an interview the lady asked me how many cases I already worked with. The company I was in was soooo small - there was only me and my boss and we had only around 40 cases per year (that's really not much). I told her so and didn't get the job for the lack of experience. If I just told her 400 I would have been hired. You just can't be honest with those people. And motivation? Of course it's the money! Why lie about it?
But then no one will ever get hired again
As an ENFP manager I would be intrigued, perhaps to my detriment, at the direct honesty of these responses. I would probably want to evaluate those answers in conversations that ultimately deviate from the original purpose of the interview and lead to me sharing very personal stories. It would be a great time. I would end up having talked 80% of the time.
you should. the whole world is too fake if you were interviewing me and did that my respect and comfort around you would go up massively and I would genuinely put my best food forward
foot*
As an INFJ this sidebar doesn’t sound like a great time, it sounds like doing unpaid emotional labor for a stranger! 🙃
“So like, if I sit here and listen to your life story, am I hired, or? Cause I gotta get home soon and recharge.”✌🏾
Wow this is actually how I am almost completely. This is why we lie on those multiple choice personality quizzes they have you do to get interviews.
It’s like someone slipped a truth serum in this guy’s drink that morning.
I don't get why they ask those stupid questions at those interviews. They know we're lying whenever we say something too different from the answers in the video 😜
@@TheSimArchitect Excellent point. But it’s also not like they can develop individualized elaborate practical scenarios to observe skills that we claim to have in our resumé.. that’s less efficient, too. I think. Although, I want to know: Is there a company out there with an HR that hires in a more efficient, sustainable & non-traditional manner? LOL. Could be interesting.
Lol!
Veritaserum
What a nice, non-judgmental interviewer.
True 😊💗
What about "are you a people person?" What you say: "Yeah I love people!" The truth: "being around people all the time makes me feel ill"
I do love people, but I did see why they have to be in the same room as me.
I'm like nick fury's grandfather. I love people, but I don't trust 'em much. The only people I do trust tend to be the only people I willingly occupy space with, and that count is about 10 or 15. People. On the entire planet.
@@shadowfox933 i don't trust anyone in my life except my cat. Humans are totally unreliable and dishonest.
@@krissyk9767 that seems a bit cynical, even for me XD all jokes aside though, I do trust most of my immediate family, and I do have a few friends that I fully trust (only a few though). It's good to have someone to count on every now and then, I just keep my list shorter than most
@@shadowfox933 i guess i'm cynical then. I'm glad you have people in your life you can trust. Any time I have trusted people in the past they always ended up hurting me. I am still kind to people, but I just never let myself trust anyone anymore, because I never can tell whether someone is genuine or not or is going to betray me.
My god, I wish I could be honest with this level of brutality. The world needs to be more blunt and less full of corporate/administrative bs.
"i eat and drink all night to numb myself"
i can relate to that sooo much..
That one got me too!
Magnified in 2020 too
Me eating nine buckets of sunflower seeds daily while doing homework...
I got laid off over a year ago and been unemployed. Lost over 20 pounds so far. Not eating and drinking to numb myself. Think I just realized my weight is directly proportional to my job dissatisfaction.
"Can't we just lock them out of the office" LOL 😂
I don’t know what the fuss is about. I think I can handle sending someone an email, to be anonymously sent from the HR corporate email, asking him to vacate his desk immediately. 🤔
.
.
But I think I’ll need about a week to write and rewrite that email so maybe give me a heads up, 30 days prior (just to be sure), before they ask to fire somebody. 😅😂😂
I like how the person had no emotion when he would insult his company
This resonates on so many levels, I can literally feel the anxiety when some of the questions were asked.
"A door I can shut and lock..." that is totally me.
And me!
me
"Honestly, I don't see how any position in this company could be anyones dream job." Man I thought I was brutally honest but I'm gonna have to step up my savagery.
As an introvert, I am motivated by four things at work: money, work-life balance, solving puzzles, and taking pride in well maintained processes. Anything that interferes with these decreases my motivation: unneeded meetings, going to the office for “collaboration,” training bad coworkers for the tenth time on something, badly designed employee surveys, team building exercises, department or company propaganda meetings, charity events, training classes that teach me what I already know, “leadership” programs, budget cuts on needed fixes, complaints about efficiency after the previously mentioned budget cuts, watching the CEO get tens of millions in bonuses while he insists we should cut expenses…
"Why do you want this job" Me: I'm a big fan of being able to eat and keep a roof over my head.
"I overcame it by calling in sick that whole week." 😂😂😂 Comedy gold!
To be fair it's either gonna be the smart guy or the introvert if the smart guy is taken. The rest are just there for moral support.
As an introvert I would overcome it by doing it all myself
@@CalebCuzner have you got the job
"how do you handle stress?"
"i suppress my emotions all day and then i eat and drink all night to numb myself"
yeah, same
I don't drink, but I do eat, play video games, watch tv shows and often go to bed way too late to postpone the beginning of the next day.
@@Evija3000 At a employee appreciation day a couple years ago they were handing out service awards and for my factory shift I was the most senior service member with 34 years (on the same job). The plant manager asked me what it took for a man to stay as long as I had on the same job. I replied "approximately 12,000 gallons of beer". I'm well known for being a low social level introvert, but I'm also well known for speaking my mind and being utterly and brutally honest.
I'm also not as adverse to wading into a conflict as a lot of other introverts are even though I do go out of my way to avoid them. If I deem a conflict unavoidable and I GENUINELY know I'm in the right, well, Tom Petty's "I won't Back Down" starts playing like Boss music in the background.
My standard quip....
There's nothing I'll encounter at work today...that won't be soluble in EToH
It's just a question of "how much"?
That usually shuts up those CIS debrief people...
This video hits home on so many levels. This is why I own my own business. Going to "work" just didn't work out for me. like ever.
If we could all be this honest, the world would be a better place.
I love how the interviewer is acting so calm about the introverts answers
Lol
"How would other people describe you?"
..." They can't"
I was interviewing for a call center position and was asked, "How would prior employers describe you?" "Quiet." Seriously, that was my answer.
😅😅
@@FlamingCockatiel And what was the reaction they had ?
@@Kinra_Jade I don't remember the immediate reaction, but I did not get the job.
@@FlamingCockatiel I can imagine them having a poker face while a weird silence is setting up.
this just sums up my entire adult life, every single one is true for me and i'm not lying. maybe that's why i have had so many jobs..... i hate working, it doesn't motivate me. in fact pretty much all of his videos are true for me.... the 1st date, avoiding people, everything. how did i ever get married?
There's a 100% chance he'll go over this interview with everyone he knows. It's the kind of interview that make good stories around the coffee machine.
I’ve been trying to quit my job for 2 years, but can’t bring myself to talk to my boss about it. Not to mention I know I’m going to have to sit through another painful interview looking for a new job.
Start working on building your own company. It takes time, but one day you have the freedom. So many ways you can make some money online today. Good luck:)
@@bluebellbell3725 thank you so much:)
"We will contact you within a week, but actually we are just going to ghost you"
Had a job interview a month ago and they still haven't given me an answere.
Job hunting is never fun, but don’t be discouraged! Supply (job seekers)is high and the competition is rough, but if you just keep applying and be “strategic” in interviews, you’ll find something. Have you ever thought of going thru a temp agency to find a temp-to-perm position?🙏🏾Good luck to you!
If they say they will come to you in a week you are supposed to call them (or write an email) after two weeks and ask how the progress is. They want to see if you actually want the job.
They didn't even bother to send the rejection letter sometimes(个_个). But good luck Patrick! I hope soon you get a job that you can enjoy and love.
@@0815Snickersboy That is actually pretty risky since i have read online, that these processes can take longer and due to the current situation with covid and all, i expected that to be the case. It could be that i lower my chances getting hired, if i ask too soon, since that would be a pressurization. Have send them a request now on the result a few days ago. Will see soon how this is going to turn out.
@@galaxylucia1898 Thank you, no i haven't so far, though this wouldn't quite fit what i'm looking for since i want to do an Internship, which are usually fulltime only(atleast in my country). Problematic is that probably due to covid, places i can apply at are very limited and tbh i tend to be very picky, but yeah i will try further.
So spot on! And the thing I hate even more than 00:30 is when they say, "Why did you leave your last position?" It's ALWAYS one of three reasons: 1) because you wanted more money or a better position; 2) because you moved to a different area; or 3) because they forced you out, either by firing you or by making your life so miserable you couldn't stand it anymore -- none of which they want to hear.
2:48 me to my exam after I complete it
“Tell me how you think other people would describe you?”
I knew someone for 3-4 years and was good friends with them, but someone asked her how she would describe me and all she could say was “quiet”. 😭😭
Oh, gods, yes. Folks who have known me for years don't know anything about me in reality. Unfortunately, I know all about them. ✌😺
Lmao. I have friends in my school. I know some of them from the very beginning (12 years) and honestly I don't think anyone of them can tell anything about me.
I once had to fire someone (for good reason). We came out of the room w her consoling me b/c I was crying. My other coworkers made fun of me for that for ever.😭
That's noble and not sth to be made fun of!
🤣
This would be hilarious if you were a guy
Awe! You sound so sweet!
lolol
I'm INTJ and I'm learning how to "socialise" it's harder than anything I had to do before 😣
"I can make phone calls now without drowning in anxiety for hours before I forced myself to dial the number." Honestly, one of my proudest work-related accomplishments lol
Scenario that popped into my head...
Interviewer: "Let's do a little roleplay, as if you have to fire me."
Person: "That's funny you mention that, because I'm not here for an interview. Your boss sent me here to fire you."
Interviewer: "Very good, next question."
Person: "No more questions. You don't work here any more. Please leave before we have to call security."
*15 minutes later*
Boss: "Where's the other guy?"
Person: "Oh, he left. I think he quit. ...so I understand you have some job positions open."
Playing mind games! This is brilliant!
One way to start from a position of power and authority..... Yeah. You have fun with that. ✌😸
Looney Tik Yeah, that's totally gonna work, you should try it.
Big brain
If only I had the guts to do that. You'd have to be an extrovert to pull it off.
This was painfully relatable
As an introvert I can say that these are 100% true, would I say any of this, no. Do I think it, absolutely
The fact that the interviewer also got honest in the end is wholesome😂🤣
This dude is so introvert that you can see the awkwardness on his face even when he's talking to himself.
Like me.
"What is you greatest accomplishment?"
Maintaining a nervous smile for so long during this interview.
I felt this so deep in my soul I could cry. Working from home has been the best because of everything listed in this video.
I am the introvert whom no one would think is an introvert, untill they learned I have less friends than most people who refuse to leave their apartments (when there isn't a pandemic).
“I feel like every answer I’ve given you today is a mistake” INFJs when they open up and be honest spilling all of their inner thoughts and emotions and end up feeling like a deflated balloon when they later replay the whole conversation in their heads.
Oh my gosh, this is me 100%! Never could put it in words so perfectly, though, thank you!!!
@@returnoftheromans6726 haha you’re definitely not alone!! Thank you for reminding me I’m not either
INFJ mean?
So true, 100% me, I talk too much
Oh Jeez. Don't get me started on that topic hahaha 😂 😂 😂
'...I can pretend I'm not there and watch TH-cam in peace'
*That's what I'm doing rn* 😃
ABS0LUTLY!!!!!
Exactly. I’m currently in my bedroom making no noise and pretending that I don’t exist. And watching TH-cam in peace.
Finally! A video that keeps it 💯 about how introverts really feel about interviews and the dreaded workplace environment.🤦🏽♀️ As an introvert myself, so many things you said resonated‼️I’ve always viewed earning a living and pursuing my passion as two entirely different things. I’ll NEVER be passionate about working for anyone else-that’s for sure.😂 My only interest was earning a paycheck…and I did that long enough to realize that I couldn’t do it for the rest of my life. Thanks for shedding some light on how we REALLY feel.💖💕🔥‼️
Loved the telephone calls as a greatest achievement. I am going to use that.
“Can’t we just lock them out of the office and hope they get the hint” that’s the most introverted thing I’ve ever heard.
I swear.
If only HR managers appreciated honesty over "make believes" just to get the job people eventually mess up or die at.
I've read so many interview guides and wonder why is how they tell us to speak is the superior way. Can't say one thing negative (It's the only job I could find; I have nothing good to say; etc) because supposedly that makes you socially undesirable. Oh, and you have ten measly minutes to make the interviewer like you. But relax and be yourself!
he can answer the phone without any crippling anxiety getting in the way? That's amazing!
Telling someone they're fired is smth I can enjoy
