Q: How to Get the Job When You're Not Qualified?
A: Instead of defending your lack of experience, focus on discussing how you would approach the required tasks or responsibilities. Shift the conversation to the future and demonstrate your ability to adapt, learn quickly, and excel in the given role or situation.
Just saved me 8min, thank you
Andy, I just want to add myself to the list of people you’ve helped get jobs. I discovered your videos before the first of 5 interviews I had with one company. Following your tips, I got the job and a 50% salary increase from my previous job. You’re awesome, Andy. Thank you!
Love to hear this Courtney! Huge congratulations to you!
Congratulations!
@@sannajohanna5579 thank you!
You had to get through 5 interviews ? Wooooh I’d love to hear your experience
Congratulations
The Michael Jordan of HR. I owe every successful interview to this man. Thank you as always Andrew!
Now I KNOW those are high marks. Thank YOU!!
Thanks for the great content!
I have a background in computer science and one thing I have tried to try during interviews is to say that I can learn anything related to my field. Because technologies die and are born every day. But it is the ability to learn that remains. I often say that I consider it more important for you to be willing to learn and improve than to be stuck with knowledge you already have and not grow. Sometimes it works. Sometimes no.
This is good advice
"You don't have enough experience"
My response: "You're absolutely right. If I had the experience, it wouldnt be a challenge, and I wouldn't take this job because I'd get bored."
Good stuff.
Andy.. you’re the best! Full of insightful feedback to crush those interviews!
Glad you enjoyed the video Rafael! Go get em!!
Andy, I got the job! Thank you so much for sharing your insight with the community.
Huge congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉 Laura!! Lots of luck!!
As always, great video with a topic that so many are looking for answers on. I have candidates reaching out to me all the time asking me about this and happy to know I am hitting the same marks as you. Great tips.
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy!! 👊🤜
This is why we have so many incompetent managers, they knew how to get hired.
Interesting perspective.
Thanks for sharing to technique going from my past experiences to painting the picture of how I would perform in role once hired. Awesome. -ABT-
Glad you enjoyed it Alan!
I love this suggestion. I have an interview tomorrow and I will absolutely use this answering method if this comes up. Thank you!
Great to hear!
thank you so much. I don't really have that much knowledge in AutoCAD and I'm gonna get interviewed for a position that requires extensive knowledge of it. i do know SketchUp but it's obviously a different program. i do have the fundamental knowledge that can easily be transferred from program to program so thank you for teaching me a way to explain my circumstance to the employer
Thank you for this perspective, sir.
You’re welcome!
I got the job and after 3 days I just quit and that's the best decision I've made so far. The job was stressful as hell. Now I'm just looking for jobs that i'm over-qualified, NOT UNDER!
Sorry it didn’t work out Juke but it’s good to know you can get the job!
Thank you Andy for this video this helps take the pressure off myself. And it helps me prep better for interview for a job that Im underqualified for. This makes me think about what I can say when these types of questions are asked.
You’re so welcome!!
I love this suggestion. I have an interview tomorrow and I will absolutely use this answering method if this comes up.
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
I love this video because I’m going for case worker position but haven’t be “hired” for it but because I’ve adopted and dealt with the Court system and the ones that fall under their umbrella I feel confident that’s I’m qualified for it. So I’ll do more research to list what qualifies me. Thank you sooooo much! Next I’ll watch your webinars. Grateful
Thank you! Best of luck.
I did not believe in this concept for ages and this is the way to do it. I lost many opportunities for not having this Mind set. Thanks for this info sir!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Andrew!
You're welcome Kelvin!
Hi Andy, this video is for me!! Thanks a lot. I will interrogate myself for upcoming exciting opportunities just to prepare.
Will keep in touch with you soon!
Yeah!! Always glad to be there for you Rachael!! Hope you’re well!!
Wow. Who knew? I was always entertained when I read a job posting demanding 10 years experience with a tool that has only existed for two years. :-)
Thanks for your amazing interviews and for the bootcamp. It is amazing!
Bradley! Glad you are enjoying it. Yes, employers are ridiculous when it comes to this stuff. We used to tell them, uh, you know there’s no one who’s been working with the product since before it was built, right??
😂😂😂😂😂
What a great timing. While driving back home, i got a job preposition that I am not fully qualified for, and this video came up. I am shooting the recruiter an email using your tips and suggestions. Thank you so much
You’re welcome!
Thanks I am job searching and I appreciate this
You’re so welcome Christian!
Hi. Thank you for the information
You’re so welcome Joyce!
You gave me hope. Thank you...
You always have hope Fabio!!
Hey Andy, I’m working on a career change and job hunting right now while watching your videos everyday. I will let you know the updates, thank you a lot for your top quality content!
Did you land a new job using his methods? I hope you did 😊
how would you go from a non management job to even a small management job what would i want to show on my resume or cover letter ?
Andy, I spent hours on your channel and I think I've done well this week with all of your advice. Interviewer seemed hung up on the fact that I don't currently manage people. Other than that I feel positive and she said it was an "enlightening" interview. Thank you for all of your advice!!
You’re so welcome Laura!!
Did you get the job offer?
@@Jmitez I did!
How to get job without qualification😍i just jump in to this video
I'd love to see a video on how to get a job without experience, if you haven't already made one!
+1
I have a few on there. I just released one Tuesday as well. Search the channel. they will come up!
Hey Andrew! Every time I have an interview I binge your videos as my interview prep. But here’s a question for ya: you have a video about how to beat internal candidates, but what if you’re the internal candidate trying to beat out more experienced external candidates? I’m in this situation right now and would LOVE your insight.
yes please!!
I'm going through that right now, and I don't want to give up. Did you get the position?
@@11gwu11 unfortunately no, but when a door closes, another opens. I ended up where I want to be in a different field actually. Regardless, Andrew’s tips are spot on!
I love how he plugs his previous videos so often lmaooo great content!
Appreciate that. They are free. So why not?
I just found your channel. In the past I got a good opportunity in a completely new industry by being honest about my lack of experience in the field and not meeting all the requirements, but convincing them that I did have many complementary and transferable skills.
On that note, I find myself feeling doubtful and lacking confidence atm, because I’ve worked in very different industries and in different roles. Therefore, when it’s time to apply to new opportunities I find myself unworthy/doubtful since I took a horizontal approach in my prof. experience rather that a solid vertical approach to become an expert in one industry only. I’ve worked in pharma, marketing and event cie, tourism, film, etc. Any advice on how to overcome this or turn it to my advantage?
I have another thing that I'm struggling with. What can I do if I have more experience than JD mentions, so in this way I'm overqualified and the hiring manager is scared to hire me
Hi Andrew I live in Norway, followed all the tips you gave me in the job application process got 3 interviews in 2 weeks . I finished my last interview on the 19th of January . My first 2 interviews were for Outlet management opportunities for 2 pre opening hotels . Got a mail 3 days ago from the first interviewer asking for references , however I do see that the Job deadline has been extended what does that mean. Thank you for all the guidance and advice you share.
Your techniques really work! Currently I work in ophthalmology but... I got an interview for real estate acquisitions.... I'm just mind blown. Didn't get the job though but I least now I know my odds.
You’re trending!!!! 👊👊👊
@@andylacivita Thank you my next attempt will be investment banking lol
@@andylacivita in all seriousness though the CEO and founder of a large real estate firm asked me for my resume himself. Then the head of HR contacted me shortly after. That was the mind blowing part. Can't disclose through what medium.
Just dropping by to say "Thank you Andy!" 😊
You’re welcome!!
Which is the video referenced that talks about moving the interviewer into the future?
Hi Andy!
I got past the gatekeeper and interviewed with the hiring manager last week for a lead role, but I did not land the job. I work in the insurance sector helping clients with their business insurance needs. The education section in my resume does not include a degree, but I’ve spent a considerable amount of time working on obtaining designations/certificates for the insurance industry. I am currently working on obtaining a college level certification and was wondering if you could do a clip on how to highlight this on your resume template or is this best addressed during the interview process. I feel like not having a degree maybe a hindrance on my resume and I am trying to figure out how to best address this. On a side note, the requirement to have a degree is slowly changing in the industry, but I think for the higher roles over $100k some companies prefer the degree over my 25 years of experience. Thanks for your help in advance.
Andy,
a position is for say a Database Administrator and your previous job title says something like IT Analyst. Will recruiters overlook you because the titles dont match? Should you change your job title? Should recruiters change the resume being shown to reflect something more positive.
If your title is IT analyst and you have no database administrator experience, the recruiter will overlook you. If your title is IT analyst and you have lots of database administration, the recruiter will figure that out.
That is me. I have been struggling for a long time to get a job in portfolio management, banking -front office. However I worked for nearly 13 years in Banking-middle office instead, and that is a handicap, so despite my MBA and now also working on the CFA when I apply for Investment Advisory /Portfolio management jobs I am told I have no experience. I do not wish to lie but I am always found in the difficult position of having to explain that in interview even though I am managing portfolios on my own personal life rather than professional. How do I overcome that?
Starts at 3:13
Hi Andy! Sorry if you’ve answered this already but should you mention Redundancy/ retrenchment in your interview or application?
Michaela, if you are asking if you should mention that you were laid off from a position, that can go on your application, and it could be a brief mention in a job interview to answer their question about why you left that role. Let me know if that's what you're asking.
@@andylacivita hi! Yes that is what I was asking thank you 🙏🏼
hi andrew can u do an interview on applying as an. internal applicant with less experience than external applicants applying for the same role? thank you
Hi M S16, search my TH-cam for the video,
How to Beat an Internal Candidate in a Job Interview Good Luck!
Here you would have qualified for the interview,may you help me on how to actually apply when you’re not qualified and don’t have the experience
Hi Andy, through your videos, I successfully landed a job I was not qualified for (they offered me a higher position than what I interviewed for) and have been recently let go before my probationary period ended. Looking through your videos for some inspiration. Any wisdom or advice you can give me?
Paige, my only advice is please go celebrate!! 🥳
@@andylacivita Thank you, I'll take the time to process the loss, celebrate and go through your videos again when I start looking for work.
This is older, but I had the same thing happen. If the position was a senior or managerial role, that could be a case of inducement and/or wrongful dismissal, even within a probationary period....I learned alot throughout the course of a legal case against the employer. If the employer did not provide enough training/direction it is their fault. They may owe you severance based on your former job specs. Also, I learned that you should negotiate to have no probationary period in the employment agreement - it is not legally required!! Especially for senior level jobs, DO NOT accept a standard 'probationary period.'
I was looking to apply for a job as at doughnut shop but it says I need 1 year experience as pastry chef/baker. I've never worked as either of those but have over 20 years of experience baking at home. Always received high compliments for everything I've baked. I mean does that count
I mean, I'd say so. Did you get the job?
In a similar way, how to apply in the case you have the required multiple years experience in a field (multimedia designer) but not an associate degree or even a bachelor's one as asked? Is something i can try to negotiate with HR or is considered a hard requirement? Is frustrating me even though they say years of experience could partially substitute the college years am afraid that might still not be enough - yup, even with 10+ more years of experience in flesh
It’s okay in most cases if you don’t have the degree. Most employers will look past that if you have the requisite experience!
Andy, you are great! How can I get in touch with you?
Thanks Ragu, send an email to support@milewalk.com!
I have an interview where they want someone to supervise - which I have never done but only because the opportunity has not been there. any tips?
If you don’t have supervisory experience, highlight how you’ve influenced others or groups. That’s usually a good indicator of whether you’ll be a good manager.
I am making a resumee to apply a part time job as a child sitter. By my profession I’m an architect but I am now doing something else and I want a part time job. The family want someone who can paint and do handicrafts with the child and go to excursions etc. Seemingly, they want a cultural person, which I am. Besides, I have 28 years experience as a mother. I am very good at handicrafts too. I can play the piano as well. So, days with me would not be boring! I know already tens of things we could do and what I can teach him/her.
But I already started to think: What if that child is terrible by her/his behaviour? Or if she/he sometimes gets some ”moods”? I have taken care of my child and babysit my friends children without problems, but this awful possibility came in my mind. I thought what to answer if they ask me about this in the interview. Well, I haven’t done even the application yet, I am thinking the interview already! I started to hesitate a bit if I want to apply at all! Maybe, if I get prepared that the child is completelly wild and ADHD and so on, and be prepared and look in advance from some book how to handle it...🤔
On the other hand: if that was the case, they would seek for someone really professional nanny. Not like: ”Also students are possible.”
I know this is a year old, but thought I'd answer anyways! I've worked in childcare many years, your best response would be something along the lines of "redirection" and teaching that child new skills (vs. Discipline). Children's minds are still growing, having patience and understanding of that makes all the difference!
I've got a job that I'm not qualified enough for. What do I do next?
😂
I wish
You got this!!
Not sure if you know this but most of your videos which I have seen cut off the sound at the end and we miss what you’re saying! 😢
If the sound is cut off that’s simply to play the hyperlink. I was in to a new topic which was unrelated to that video.
Is it possible that employers have set their bars to high
No. Most of them set them too low. But, usually, they set them really high and then lower them because they can’t find someone right away. What they should do is set them reasonably and then train and development people more effectively. 👊👊👊
But if you have like no self esteem?
