That one guy how said he’d make sure the employee was properly trained before disciplinary action really got me. I’ve had so many issues at multiple jobs that I got in trouble for because I wasn’t trained for it. Managers can really drop the ball and find the most underpaid scrub to blame.
xRoWx xLoWx oh I am aware. But what’s really funny is a manager from a different store dealt with that manager and knew how they were. He ended putting through a transfer and I moved to his store and trained me from scratch. I’ve been with that company for 7 years now.
Once on an interview, (I was the interviewed btw) I was finally let into the bureau of the interviewer after 45 minutes of waiting (I was as always 15 minutes early) and while seated before the desk, the interviewer just sits there typing something on his computer, occasionally glancing at me. Not a good day, not a handshake, no nothing. Finally he asks why I wish to work for this company. I said I didn't know anymore and he didn't do a good job convincing me his company was worth working for. Since he obviously looked down on me already, I doubt it'd get better. So I just got up and left. After that the interim bureau called, asking why I did what I did. I told her I'm looking for a good job, and to not waste my time with applications like that. Shortly after, I found the job I wanted.
Fair play. Everyone deserves a second chance when the are truly trying to change. Sometimes they are the most dedicated people in work environments because they truly appreciate a chance.
My father did something like that, he gave a ex heroin addict who served about 5 years a job, he became a family friend soon after, unfortunately 3-4 years ago he relapsed and on the first try he od and died, pretty sad, he was a great guy.
That person was amazing. He/she went out of his/her way to talk to the parole officer to work something out. Some people might having given him a chance knowing he was an ex-con, but few would go out of there way to work something out like that.
And that's just with someone we presume did the crime they served time for. So many people get imprisoned on crimes they didn't commit and end up barred from employment to the point that their only means of making money after prison are criminal ones. If we believe in a fair and prudent justice system, we have to believe in giving ex-convicts a chance, otherwise we're punishing them for a debt they've already paid.
@@rachelfox8108 I couldn't've said that better myself, that's exactly what's wrong with the justice system in regards to "rehabilitation". It's set up to keep criminals criminals
Who even thinks of being rude to the receptionist? He/she in my experience actually has quite a lot of clout, whether it's officially or unofficially. But if you upset them then you'll also have a line of other people not pleased with you as well.
My dad once told me something that's always stuck with me when it comes to experience in a field/profession: "Be the best at your job, not the best asshole." I've lived my life developing skills and knowledge, and always tried to remain humble and play it off as me being average or less than that. I've found more people are willing to give me a chance even when there are others who are obviously more qualified or better suited to the position, just because my personality and approach were humility and friendliness. Skills can be taught and improved, humility not so much.
The hiring manager that goes for the 'lucky' ones and throws the other half... he doesn't know that the lucky ones are in the thrash. Working with someone having such stupid standards must be a nightmare. I guess the firing technique must be flipping a coin.
@@zebur4170 Friend of mine hires for the company he is working for he dont throw them in the trash but puts half of a stack on the side without looking and when i dont find enough good ones in the first stack he starts looking in the second. When you sometimes get couple of houndreds its the only way
i enjoyed all the interviewer comments about being vague or unsure about answering questions, when almost every job posting is vague and indescript about the posting
Had to fill in for a hiring manager once. Company was taking everyone and their grandma, all you had to do was pass an onsite drug test and bring in your SSN/ID. Two months later, the only guy who stuck around was a homeless man. Two years later, he's the hiring manager and I'm up two positions. Never underestimate the quality of homeless employment.
When they answer "iunno" for every. Single. Question. Also, 2:40 I HATE this! Happened aaaaallll the time for me when I worked in the games industry as a project manager. I'd often bring in an engineer or test lead to sit in on interviews to get their input, usually a guy since there weren't too many women in my department. The male candidates would almost always look directly at my colleague when they spoke, never addressed me at all, even when I was the one asking the questions. Then at the end, they would offer a handshake to him, but not to me. And, like clockwork, they'd ask him "so when can I expect to hear back about the position?" And he'd say "oh, I'm just an assistant, (my name) is the hiring manager." The look on their faces were priceless. And then I tossed their resumes straight into the bin.

reminds me of a crazy story where a female tech had to get a male com-worker to assist since the client would not tell her ANYTHING or listen to ONE word she said. co-worker just repeated her word-for-word...
We posted a sales job years ago. We offered a woman an interview. She showed up on the wrong day AND the wrong time. Her explanation was that she "[wasn't] too good with minor details." The best part is that she showed up huffing and puffing thinking she was late, and essentially busted into the sales director's office. She wasn't invited back.
Dad always paid attention to was how fast the person answered questions. Too fast meant they were unlikely to think before speaking and too slow meant they likely were unprepared but if they paused for a few moments to create a concise response it showed they would think before speaking. In his line of work(sales) that is vital
"I'm a person who speaks my mind/tells it like it is/is always honest, and sometimes that upsets people". Translation: "I'm an asshole who has an opinion about everyone and everything, and will express that opinion regardless of how little I know about the situation, how inappropriate the setting, and without any effort to express it in a way that is constructive or sensitive to the person I'm critiquing. And if anyone expresses anger or hurt at my tactless assholery, I will refuse to accept any responsibility, and blame everyone else for being overly 'sensative' or unable to 'handle the truth'." NEEEEXT!
We interviewed one person and they really seemed to know their way around a computer. The only snag was that their Social Security number came back belonging to an older lady living on the East Coast. She was contacted and asked if she wrote her correct number on the app. and to give the right number to us. We never heard from them ever again.
You must work in sales. Gatekeeper is the term we use if we ever have to make cold calls, and I couldn't agree with you more on that. If you treat them with respect and professionalism they will typically let you through and help you out a bit 😉. And you get to know some really cool people that way.
@@codymartinez2355 I figured "Gatekeeper" would give me away. So far I have found little baskets of cheese and vodka during a holiday make many people very happy and I get my 20 minutes.
the first story made me realize, we need some kind of Criminal Discrimination similar to Gender Discrimination or Age Discrimination, because of how many people base their hire on criminal records, it makes you realize with we unfairly punish people for being a prior criminal and never let them rise back up to fix their lives
Red flags pop up on both ends. If the hiring manager gives off a gut feeling, go with your gut. If you don't qualify but are comfortable for a brief small talk, take notes and improve yourself.
*Walter Acevedo* I was once in an interview when someone brought in some paperwork they needed the interviewer to look at right away. He looked at it, and then shoved it away with such contempt in both his face and his body language that I decided right there that I didn't want to work for him.
I’ve noticed that when the hiring manager doesn’t even ask me questions about my experiences and just talks about the job is always a job I never hear back from and don’t get hired for
The dress to impress...if you go to ANY interview, no matter what the wage, dress decently. You don't need a suit to interview at a minimum wage job. Just stay away from shorts, sweat pants,, hoodies. Wear nice jeans or slacks, polo or collar shirt, or appropriate length skirt. The main thing is be neat, and CLEAN.
Yeah. You don't need to wear a suit, (unless specified) just don't look a mess. Make sure to shower, and wear a polo shirt and jeans/a modest dress or skirt. No need to be fancy, just look professional.
Hoesntly the dress to impress thing is kind of dumb.cuase there are poeple out there who have to pick between clothing and food and the dress to impress thing often prevents them from getting a job to improve their sisuation.considering nice clothing is 50 to 100 dollars even for basic jeans and t-shirt.
Maybe try to do local things look up stores who are on search go in person to ask if they are searching for personal. Wear good clean clothes. (If you never wear a suit try wearing sometimes we really can see a person that wears a suit for the first time and to be honest that looks really stupid) If you show up personal they don't only see that piece of paper but see you in person. Be honest. A had the same problem after I lost the love of my life. I hit the ground really hard. I had a job with really good promotion's available was in a Firebrigade and so on . After I get over it, I really had a great hole in my Vita. So you could guess no one hires you for a real job. All spoken languages all me expertise in chemistry metallurgy and so one, dit nothing. So I started in person looking for shitty jobs in my neighborhood. got my first job cleaning at a company. After a few months I looked for something better. Got work in a chemical cleaning company that meant 100€ per month more. After 3 months I found a new job at a chemical company, income rised another 300€. 2years later I changed to a company repairing laboratory equipment that meant another 200€ more and I only need to do my work and if that's done I go home also do the work at my time . As long as it's done, I come and go as I pleased. For me that's pure happiness 😂
@@sebastianschmidt566 That's awesome! Great to hear that you have kept moving up. I've always felt that a job that game you respect is better for a person than one that may pay more but makes you suffer every day. I just had that job. 4 years at the company is took over for a manager (but they renamed the position and paid me way less) I started with 6 employees, then 5 then 4 (told them I didn't need one because he was always on his phone. So lazy!), then 3 then laid off for 4 months Covid-19 then 2 employees (counting me!) meanwhile we're getting all the work done even though the former manager can do with six people. Then after three months back I'm told my position is no longer needed. So the company hires three more people part-time to replace me. when I was told I was losing the position I was actually relieved! I would much rather work for a smaller company that's moving up and need someone to work extra hard for the pay than to be treated like that again.
@@sebastianschmidt566 Going in-person and asking for applications doesn't work anymore. You'll just be told to apply online or get out. The old way doesn't work anymore.
@@BassGal92 it really depends on the company you apply for. On bigger company's your right applying in person don't work. But small businesses that often work and even if they say you should mail them the documents be sure to add your foto to the First Site. The Person you talked to in the store tends to be the person looking through that documents. Or is at least asked about their opinion. And remember them that you could start work their as soon as tomorrow or even today 😂. If they need workers they often have problems to find one . And even if they find a potential worker often enough they can't start to work in the same week.
In professional or office settings: always be nice to receptionists and secretaries. I don't care if you're there interviewing to be CFO. The rank-and-file employees whose job is to gatekeep higher-ups have more influence than you realize and "jerky" behavior will get shared with the bosses.
Absolutely correct. I watched someone torpedo their chance by being uppity with the very nice, very professional receptionist. I figured from her expression she was part of the hiring process, and as there was still a bit of a wait, went up to the desk, smiled and ask for direction to the ladies powder room, (which I needed as I was nervous), and made sure to make a good impression. After being hired, I used to stand in for her while she was on break, and we became friends. A genuinely nice person, with a sharp as a tack mind. Thank you to the rude person for showing me who was first interviewer, though :-)
3:14 I once interviewed for a job for a small municipal government in the South, and I was interviewed by both the town's mayor and his clerk. I made it a point to address both of them when I was speaking, and involve both of them in my answers. Furthermore, when I asked my typical interview questions ("what do you like most about working here?" "what would you change?" "do you have any funny stories from working here?"), I wanted to hear answers from both of them. Got the job, worked there for about a year and a half before I had to move.
I hate this stigma that you should be dressed to impress at a job interview. I mean yeah if its an "adult job" so to speak as in high paying and stable then yes dress up- but don't expect me to be dressed up at my interview if it's minimum wage. Minimum wage gets minimum effort.
I disagree to a point. I say wear 👔 1 step higher than the position. If its hourly, just wear a blazer or collared shirt. If a woman wear a dress or business suit.
@@DavidLLambertmobile i disagree because minimum wage isnt enough to pay for rent never mind food and clothes so people will be working 2 maybe 3 jobs to keep afloat so why go and dress proper for a job you could get right next door
"minimum wage gets minimum effort" is the attitude that will mean you always lose the job if you are competing against multiple applicants, why would an employer who has numerous applicants for a position hire the person that only does the bare minimum over the person that goes above that.
@@moosevision8113 As a person who paid his dues in multiple miminum wage jobs i can assure you minimum effort doesn't get you fired. I've gotten highlighted as a good employee just by showing up. Also its common knowledge that minimum wage jobs will try to squeeze everything from you and they'll overwork if you let them. Minimum effort doesn't mean no effort, it literally means what it says.
I have cried in many interviews. I am honest, I am very sensitive, with long-term effects of trauma, including a depression that stays. I think the crying is guarantees a “no”. I no longer work. I finally accepted defeat and went on disability, but I earned money as long as I could. I’m so glad those days are over even though it means I forever have a minimal income. Anyway, somehow, don’t cry.
I cry easily and am socially... let's say incompetent. So I'll just flat out tell people that "Oops, I'm going to start crying now, but please don't pay attention to that? I don't mean to, it just happens."
The person who doesn't hire when a smoker litters gets my respect. I've had several of my neighbors' lawn service people litter in my yard and was horrified. Not only does it discourage me from hiring them, but it made me afraid of hiring any.
The one that always got my Mom, the hiring manager at our business, was how many people had absolutely no answer for the most basic question: “So, why do you want *this* job?” “Um........................I dunno...” “Then why should I hire you?” “Uhhh.....cuz?” I was always so confused by that. Shouldn’t it be pretty straightforward? They are literally just asking what led you to getting an application,, filling it out, sending it in, picking up your phone and then coming to interview and sitting here this minute, say SOMETHING! The only other big one specific to our industry; If, “Do you drug test? And if so, how often? Is it random?” Are your first questions, then no, I am not going to employ you in our pharmacy.
Always respond nicely to calls from out of area code when you’ve applied for jobs. The company I used to work for had all there calls come out of the area code for the head office, but had a local satellite office.
The first story about clothes, im going in for a job interview today an all i got is one pair of jeans thats isnt stained an 2 shirts that dont have stains. I use to be homeless an till i can get back on my feet thats all i got.
Ethan beaker maybe some people know him(he has an TH-cam channel that talks about art and had a lot of experience in art and animation industry ) once said: “For all young kids who are going to an interview, don’t use that general tip and be like, I don’t care about the job , I don’t care if gave me the job etc.Even if they will hire you they will have no respect to you as you don’t have respect to the job.Instead of this tell them that you are happy to have the job and why you chose their company among others” It really surprised me that no one mentioned that type of people.
I hope that isn’t a major thing. I feel uncomfortable with eye contact and though I work hard to do so during an interview I can’t do it all the time. Not everyone is personally, or even culturally, comfortable with eye contact. I try to look at everyone and esp the person asking me the question.
And this is part of the reason why 80% of autistic people are either unemployed or underemployed. I don't get why we're expected to make eye contact and as Pink Magic Ali said, some cultures discourage eye contact.
The eye contact and dress to impress stuff is bull shit . I have autism and can't wear jeans or smart looking clothes cuz of my sensory processing disorder /the horrible painful material they are often made of and I can't look people in the eye but I'm a very passionate and dedicated worker , wearing jeans dosent effect how I work
On the flip side, if the interviewer asks how you would handle a difficult or uncooperative coworker, there probably is an employee(s) in the department or in the company who are abusive or uncooperative that you will have to deal with if you get the job who could potentially make your life hell.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was VP of a small company, for no reason other than we needed another corporate officer for the incorporation paperwork. Anyway, we needed stuff to set up a new office, like a conference table and chairs, furniture for an upscale reception and the like. We told the Office Manager that she would choose who she wanted as a supplier, so bring potential vendors in, and have them do the dog and pony show. She felt a little out of her depth, spending that much corporate money, so I told her I could sit in if she needed, but that the decision was hers, and hers alone. I'd just be an observer and be a support for her. Many of the vendors went through the first two or three minutes perfectly well, but the minute I allowed that was the VP, they dropped her like stone and made their pitch to me. I'd tell them that I wasn't the decision maker, that the Office Manager was. If they didn't immediately revert to making the pitch to her, they were toast. The winning vendors just greeted me politely, nodded when I said I was just an observer, and dealt solely with her.
I once had an interview with a pet store. I find the address on the post, go to it at my time (I was early) and when I got there I was told I was at the wrong location when nobody made any mention of a new store opening or the address or anything, not even on google yet. So I get the fastest ride across town apologize when I get to the new store and they seemed so unimpressed like it was MY fault. They asked if I still wanted to interview and I said I think it’s better if I don’t. I could see the problems there before I even got into the interview at that point.
Depending on country, that kind of condition could be illegal. I gather that it's generally legal in the USA, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in England and Australia (just for example).
@@melkiorwiseman5234 yeah its just not common in the US at least in my experience only time I've ever experienced it. They utilized it only job I've ever been fired at. It was like 3 weeks in because I missed a stain on a bedsheet.
Red flags for me: You show up looking like you just rolled out of bed You're late for the interview....I won't even interview you Majority of business/companies drug screen and run background checks..don't always assume it's a urine test
As a person who has performed hiring, I would fire the computer as it cannot distinguish within context. IE: it is Re-su- may(a CV) not Resume as though you were returning to something. This is typical OCR mistake. I have also heard things like aCow -erker instead of Co- worker. Seriously, if you are trying to earnmoney from these, at least get it right.
Some of these examples are very helpful, but what can get you the job with one interviewer will cost you the job with another. You can plan like crazy and then just meet an interviewer you are not compatible with.
They always want extroverts even though i have the experience I just am not a social enough person and am awkward. I can't get a job to save my life and I am stuck somewhere i hate. Yaay
Don't sweat it. I'm extremely extraverted but managers at companies I have worked for have always found a way to use it against me when convenient. If I'm in a good mood and cheery, it means I am not working, apparently. If a customer/client was a dick, it was my fault for not being rude to them first, if a coworker is a bitch it's on me because they're intimidated. Crap companies will find any reason to not have to pay or treat you well. Don't listen to them.
@@dergluckliche4973 oh it was, i did tell them pay rent and buy groceries, but you don't ask that of potential employees, especially when they are a person of color
As a peson always getting hired/interviewed by retail or low wage work, I’ve picked up on a lot. A young general manager or a lack of a solid management. Usually a sign of a revolving door of employees unwilling to get that far. “Open” interviews. This almost never works out well for the interviewee because there is always someone better than you. Talk well? Theres someone that can talk better, and theyre probably the next in line. Know the ins and outs of a computer? The guy that just left just showed and proved that he could take apart and build a computer without missing a beat. (After you possibly start working there) Getting paid often. Every week,comission, or every day (common with restaurant jobs, since tips are your wages). This allows the company to not pay out either as much, or as often to the employee who might or might not leave. Jobs with high turnover usually pay this way. Why do you think fast food/restaurants pay like that? Cant think of anymore lol. Sadly all I work is the bottom rung of jobs and cant get out 😭
0:31 That...seems a little unfair to me. And makes me wonder if my clothes alone were why I only ever had the initial interview (I have two jobs now, but I never had an interview for the first one). I was not a... let's go with happy...teenager. My clothes were clean (usually), but the only "nice" clothes I had were formal. Like, that kind of nice. And they weren't exactly professional in their style or cut. I wore jeans and boys' t-shirts (I'm a girl). That was, and largely still is, my whole wardrobe. I always wore clean clothes to interviews, and they never had holes in them or anything, or offensive language/images. Does a thing so trivial and easily explained seriously matter so much? That's kind of angering.
If interviewers judged me because of my lack of eye contact (i’ve taught myself to look in their direction) or an obvious stammer or my outward fidgeting/stimming, i’d be chronically unemployed. Some people have developmental disabilities or anxiety disorders that inadvertently cause these outward behaviors. Don’t write them off based solely on that. However, if they are rude or dismissive of the receptionist or the people around them, definitely judge them on that.
My position is a mix between a System Administrator and an IT manager. I have 3 different positions under me. Work studies who are the bottom of the totem pole. They don't need much technical skill so generally I look for good work ethic and customer service skills. With them the only red flags are signs of laziness and a bad attitude. The next up is our Hardware technicians. They require a fair understanding of computer hardware and networking principles. They also work with some aspects of domain accounts and permissions at a very surface level. The main thing here is I'm looking for the ability to work through a problem that you may not have all the pieces to. We work will a lot of older people using technology in an environment where they are usually the smartest person in the room. So they need to be able to work with information that might be embellished for ego reasons. If you can't troubleshoot then I'm not going to be very serious about hiring you. Especially if you say dumb things like "Oh if the mouse doesn't work I just throw it in the trash." Inside a lab where all of the mice are not working. Finally is my assistant supervisor. The two supervisors have to be technically competent. We manage a lot of things. We have an OU in the domain that we are given total control in since we have some specialized disciplines in our area that the larger IT department doesn't have the resources to manage covering the rest of the organization. We also have a second seperated network that is totally under our control to keep some of the spicier things separated from the main network. So there is a lot to work with both Windows and Macintosh as well as some Vsphere administration. But the thing that I use as a filter is you are also a manager. A lot of IT people are more than capable of managing what we have but they don't have the soft skills to deal with managerial work. Teaching technical skills is easy. You can document and teach a process. Managing an employee with a disability or is working through a Title IX incident takes something that many technically minded people struggle with. So often times if they freeze up on those questions I definitely have to weight their technical skill vs how likely are they to get us in trouble with labor laws. I should mention one of my biggest frustrations is candidates who are in front of me because someone else in our organization put them there. I've had someone who got interviewed for the assistant position because someone high up at HR wanted to help them move jobs. They literally didn't understand computers and their reason for moving was they were bored of their current position. The next was for the technician position and they had no experience with computers. They were put in front of me by someone higher up the food chain since they had a skillset that was needed somewhere else but they didn't have that position approved. I guess they wanted to keep them around until they could. I felt bad for the person. If they had more experience in my field I likely would have taken them. However, the way things work where I am is that the other people grab their fair share of the pie then I take care of the rest. If someone can't cover or I have an opening. I have to start pulling that extra weight. So I tend to be very selective the closer I get to my position.
I have a question. I used to be one of the employees you describe as good with customer service, troubleshooting, and rocket scientist, but not at the higher technical competence you require for your management level(?). 2 questions, actually, One, how does a fully employed person in job A acquire he technical competence of your other positions? ( is it self-study of the configurations and processes at work, or squeeze in a degree in CS in your off hours, or pile on individual courses on each topic used at your company? I kept being informed that I wasn’t as technical as expected, but I eventually realized I didn’t know what I was lacking.) 2. Similarly, where does someone acquire the knowledge or skills to become a supervisor, and start moving vertically? At this point, I’m just trying to figure out where a I went wrong. I ended up leaving the field of computers, servers, software, and databases. Thanks for any insight. I’m sure you’re busy, but I never figured this stuff out and don’t (and didn’t know) what I could’ve done to keep being a respectable productive person. Ty
@@Sunset553 @Sunset Hey sorry for the late reply. There's lots a ways to get into the field but what I've found is you need a good pool of experience mainly. Some certifications and a degree helps. But those are more to get you past the application. I had a similar issue getting in the door. I had a bachelor's in CSec and a bunch of vocabulary in my head but I really couldn't get a job that you would expect to get with what I had on paper. What I found is that while I had a bachelor's degree in the subject I lacked the real hands on experience to apply these skills in a real situation. I had an interview with Google where I failed because at the time I simply wasn't able to think on my toes due to inexperience. What I would recommend is investing a little in a personal lab set up to tinker and break things. Then fix them and learn. The best people I've found in enterprise level system administration are the people who mess with the tools and concepts at home. I would invest is some decent networking equipment and maybe a low end server. Or get some VMs to play with. As far as becoming a supervisor or manager you need technical skills and the ability to take charge of things while managing resources well. For example. Hey Adobe Creative Cloud is crashing on entry across all of our Labs. You have yourself and two technicians. How do you divide the work to best take advantage of your guys abilities. However, not everyone one is going to be a manager. Many very qualified people are content with a senior technical role where they solve issues but don't really have authority just enough clout to get people to listen to them. A lot of people who get "managerial" titles get those to keep them as out of the way as possible while keeping a certain skill set around. Promoted to the level of their own incompetence so to speak. A sign of this is an impressive title and good pay but they are left out of big projects and not really called upon to help. It happens a lot more than you would think when you are in government work or working with niche software. But if you have any other questions ask me.
I'm new to hiring people and am amazed at how low standards can be. One applicant was to late, in a job where being on time is mandatory. Another applicant was dressed like straight out of a gangsta rap video, mit taking her woolen hat off, wanting to work with children and suburbian parents. Yet another one told me straight she is fed up with kids having behavioral issues. Well her job would have been to assist teachers schooling kids with behavioral issues.
one time a trashier girl i knew answered her phone "(town name) semen repository you jack it we pack it" and it was the mcdonalds she had applied to lmao
Any job in which you work with very expensive equipment isn't easy, having to constantly pay careful attention so that you don't brake something is nerve-wracking. So no it's not easy.
2:00 Well, as someone who does software dev and has been through these interviews, sometimes ya'll hr people ask the dumbest things that we don't memorize because its simply a waste of headspace as we have tons of online documentation and/or already existing libraries Like those freaking sorting questions, god fuck
12:00 Whats wrong with not wanting to talk about a job interview while your out having fun? I wouldn't want to, either. Not everything in life is about work, dude. Its good to a have a day where you don't think about work, and hes even giving you a time that would work for him. I don't see anything unprofessional about that, besides maybe being too honest about what they were doing.
I mean, the job is related to machinery and probably construction machine. Being bad at parking definitely means you aren't going to do well with the machine.
Opposite red flags: 'Competitive salary' (You'll get 1 £/$/€ a week above the company with the lowest pay in the sector). 'Salary to be discussed at interview (We don't care what your experience or qualifications are, we'll tell you what you're worth and won't negotiate). 'Earnings _can_ be upwards of...' (One employee once made that after working every day for a week/month of 12-14 hour days. Nobody else will ever earn it).
"I generally hire people with a positive outlook on life" with also "Be genuine and authentic". Yeah, sorry chief, I can only do one of these at a time.
My filter only works part time. To shut myself up, I once put a small picture of a football player named Louis Lipps over my desk. He was there to remind me that Louis lips sink ships.
On 'World's Dumbest Criminals,' a guy filled out a job application at a fast food place, with his real info, then decided to rob the place. The clerks gave the police the guy's address & they went & arrested him!
I once screwed up an interview because of the attitude. i was given. In May of 2017, I had an interview with a dental office. I went to the interview and was not chosen. Now, 9 months later, I reapplied because I saw that the job position was open again. When I showed up, the hygienist saw me and said, "Oh its you again." Knowing I wasn't going to get hired, I gave BS and acted very unprofessional.
@Roy G Biv They didn't want to hire and I stopped trying with that chain of offices. I now work at a call center making 40% more than what dental offices pay on average here in my area.
That one guy how said he’d make sure the employee was properly trained before disciplinary action really got me. I’ve had so many issues at multiple jobs that I got in trouble for because I wasn’t trained for it. Managers can really drop the ball and find the most underpaid scrub to blame.
They hired you to be the Fall Guy
xRoWx xLoWx oh I am aware. But what’s really funny is a manager from a different store dealt with that manager and knew how they were. He ended putting through a transfer and I moved to his store and trained me from scratch. I’ve been with that company for 7 years now.
@@THEEND4444 that's fkin awesome dude. He's the type of good guy I like to be around. Congrats being their for 7
@@Row-Low nh.
All the time!!! It’s bs.
Once on an interview, (I was the interviewed btw) I was finally let into the bureau of the interviewer after 45 minutes of waiting (I was as always 15 minutes early) and while seated before the desk, the interviewer just sits there typing something on his computer, occasionally glancing at me. Not a good day, not a handshake, no nothing. Finally he asks why I wish to work for this company.
I said I didn't know anymore and he didn't do a good job convincing me his company was worth working for. Since he obviously looked down on me already, I doubt it'd get better. So I just got up and left. After that the interim bureau called, asking why I did what I did. I told her I'm looking for a good job, and to not waste my time with applications like that.
Shortly after, I found the job I wanted.
That first story was dope, glad that guy gave the ex-convict that chance
Fair play. Everyone deserves a second chance when the are truly trying to change. Sometimes they are the most dedicated people in work environments because they truly appreciate a chance.
My father did something like that, he gave a ex heroin addict who served about 5 years a job, he became a family friend soon after, unfortunately 3-4 years ago he relapsed and on the first try he od and died, pretty sad, he was a great guy.
That person was amazing. He/she went out of his/her way to talk to the parole officer to work something out. Some people might having given him a chance knowing he was an ex-con, but few would go out of there way to work something out like that.
And that's just with someone we presume did the crime they served time for. So many people get imprisoned on crimes they didn't commit and end up barred from employment to the point that their only means of making money after prison are criminal ones. If we believe in a fair and prudent justice system, we have to believe in giving ex-convicts a chance, otherwise we're punishing them for a debt they've already paid.
@@rachelfox8108 I couldn't've said that better myself, that's exactly what's wrong with the justice system in regards to "rehabilitation". It's set up to keep criminals criminals
Who even thinks of being rude to the receptionist?
He/she in my experience actually has quite a lot of clout, whether it's officially or unofficially. But if you upset them then you'll also have a line of other people not pleased with you as well.
My dad once told me something that's always stuck with me when it comes to experience in a field/profession:
"Be the best at your job, not the best asshole."
I've lived my life developing skills and knowledge, and always tried to remain humble and play it off as me being average or less than that. I've found more people are willing to give me a chance even when there are others who are obviously more qualified or better suited to the position, just because my personality and approach were humility and friendliness.
Skills can be taught and improved, humility not so much.
The hiring manager that goes for the 'lucky' ones and throws the other half... he doesn't know that the lucky ones are in the thrash. Working with someone having such stupid standards must be a nightmare. I guess the firing technique must be flipping a coin.
It's from 4chan. It was a joke.
@@zebur4170 Friend of mine hires for the company he is working for he dont throw them in the trash but puts half of a stack on the side without looking and when i dont find enough good ones in the first stack he starts looking in the second. When you sometimes get couple of houndreds its the only way
i enjoyed all the interviewer comments about being vague or unsure about answering questions, when almost every job posting is vague and indescript about the posting
Had to fill in for a hiring manager once. Company was taking everyone and their grandma, all you had to do was pass an onsite drug test and bring in your SSN/ID. Two months later, the only guy who stuck around was a homeless man. Two years later, he's the hiring manager and I'm up two positions.
Never underestimate the quality of homeless employment.
When they answer "iunno" for every. Single. Question. Also, 2:40 I HATE this! Happened aaaaallll the time for me when I worked in the games industry as a project manager. I'd often bring in an engineer or test lead to sit in on interviews to get their input, usually a guy since there weren't too many women in my department. The male candidates would almost always look directly at my colleague when they spoke, never addressed me at all, even when I was the one asking the questions. Then at the end, they would offer a handshake to him, but not to me. And, like clockwork, they'd ask him "so when can I expect to hear back about the position?" And he'd say "oh, I'm just an assistant, (my name) is the hiring manager." The look on their faces were priceless.
And then I tossed their resumes straight into the bin.
reminds me of a crazy story where a female tech had to get a male com-worker to assist since the client would not tell her ANYTHING or listen to ONE word she said. co-worker just repeated her word-for-word...
We posted a sales job years ago. We offered a woman an interview. She showed up on the wrong day AND the wrong time. Her explanation was that she "[wasn't] too good with minor details." The best part is that she showed up huffing and puffing thinking she was late, and essentially busted into the sales director's office.
She wasn't invited back.
Dad always paid attention to was how fast the person answered questions. Too fast meant they were unlikely to think before speaking and too slow meant they likely were unprepared but if they paused for a few moments to create a concise response it showed they would think before speaking. In his line of work(sales) that is vital
"I'm a person who speaks my mind/tells it like it is/is always honest, and sometimes that upsets people". Translation: "I'm an asshole who has an opinion about everyone and everything, and will express that opinion regardless of how little I know about the situation, how inappropriate the setting, and without any effort to express it in a way that is constructive or sensitive to the person I'm critiquing. And if anyone expresses anger or hurt at my tactless assholery, I will refuse to accept any responsibility, and blame everyone else for being overly 'sensative' or unable to 'handle the truth'." NEEEEXT!
Yuuuuup
That’s not true, there are assholes, but there are also people that are not fake and will speak their mind and call on other peoples’ bullshit.
Hatuletoh There’s a difference between a honest person and one that is a asshole.
1:22 to be fair I don't blame him. At least he was honest and upfront afterwards.
We interviewed one person and they really seemed to know their way around a computer. The only snag was that their Social Security number came back belonging to an older lady living on the East Coast. She was contacted and asked if she wrote her correct number on the app. and to give the right number to us. We never heard from them ever again.
Receptionists and secretaries are the people I like to please, they are the gatekeepers to getting what you need for that business.
There also the souls of that company
You must work in sales. Gatekeeper is the term we use if we ever have to make cold calls, and I couldn't agree with you more on that. If you treat them with respect and professionalism they will typically let you through and help you out a bit 😉. And you get to know some really cool people that way.
@@codymartinez2355 I figured "Gatekeeper" would give me away. So far I have found little baskets of cheese and vodka during a holiday make many people very happy and I get my 20 minutes.
the first story made me realize, we need some kind of Criminal Discrimination similar to Gender Discrimination or Age Discrimination, because of how many people base their hire on criminal records, it makes you realize with we unfairly punish people for being a prior criminal and never let them rise back up to fix their lives
Red flags pop up on both ends. If the hiring manager gives off a gut feeling, go with your gut. If you don't qualify but are comfortable for a brief small talk, take notes and improve yourself.
*Walter Acevedo* I was once in an interview when someone brought in some paperwork they needed the interviewer to look at right away. He looked at it, and then shoved it away with such contempt in both his face and his body language that I decided right there that I didn't want to work for him.
I’ve noticed that when the hiring manager doesn’t even ask me questions about my experiences and just talks about the job is always a job I never hear back from and don’t get hired for
How do I always get here so early by mistake lol. I didn't even know this one was new!
Yes
I just realized this was new (ish)
I find these extremely useful since I'm sixteen and bouncing around small jobs
Ay! Same! Good luck!
shouldnt be stuff like that common sense ?
The dress to impress...if you go to ANY interview, no matter what the wage, dress decently. You don't need a suit to interview at a minimum wage job. Just stay away from shorts, sweat pants,, hoodies. Wear nice jeans or slacks, polo or collar shirt, or appropriate length skirt. The main thing is be neat, and CLEAN.
Yeah. You don't need to wear a suit, (unless specified) just don't look a mess. Make sure to shower, and wear a polo shirt and jeans/a modest dress or skirt. No need to be fancy, just look professional.
Hoesntly the dress to impress thing is kind of dumb.cuase there are poeple out there who have to pick between clothing and food and the dress to impress thing often prevents them from getting a job to improve their sisuation.considering nice clothing is 50 to 100 dollars even for basic jeans and t-shirt.
I've been turned down for so many jobs due back and mental health issues. I've now given up on going for interviews now.
Maybe try to do local things look up stores who are on search go in person to ask if they are searching for personal.
Wear good clean clothes. (If you never wear a suit try wearing sometimes we really can see a person that wears a suit for the first time and to be honest that looks really stupid)
If you show up personal they don't only see that piece of paper but see you in person.
Be honest.
A had the same problem after I lost the love of my life. I hit the ground really hard. I had a job with really good promotion's available was in a Firebrigade and so on .
After I get over it, I really had a great hole in my Vita. So you could guess no one hires you for a real job. All spoken languages all me expertise in chemistry metallurgy and so one, dit nothing.
So I started in person looking for shitty jobs in my neighborhood.
got my first job cleaning at a company.
After a few months I looked for something better. Got work in a chemical cleaning company that meant 100€ per month more.
After 3 months I found a new job at a chemical company, income rised another 300€.
2years later I changed to a company repairing laboratory equipment that meant another 200€ more and I only need to do my work and if that's done I go home also do the work at my time .
As long as it's done, I come and go as I pleased.
For me that's pure happiness 😂
@@sebastianschmidt566 That's awesome! Great to hear that you have kept moving up.
I've always felt that a job that game you respect is better for a person than one that may pay more but makes you suffer every day.
I just had that job. 4 years at the company is took over for a manager (but they renamed the position and paid me way less) I started with 6 employees, then 5 then 4 (told them I didn't need one because he was always on his phone. So lazy!), then 3 then laid off for 4 months Covid-19 then 2 employees (counting me!)
meanwhile we're getting all the work done even though the former manager can do with six people. Then after three months back I'm told my position is no longer needed. So the company hires three more people part-time to replace me. when I was told I was losing the position I was actually relieved!
I would much rather work for a smaller company that's moving up and need someone to work extra hard for the pay than to be treated like that again.
@@sebastianschmidt566 Going in-person and asking for applications doesn't work anymore. You'll just be told to apply online or get out. The old way doesn't work anymore.
@@BassGal92 it really depends on the company you apply for. On bigger company's your right applying in person don't work.
But small businesses that often work and even if they say you should mail them the documents be sure to add your foto to the First Site.
The Person you talked to in the store tends to be the person looking through that documents. Or is at least asked about their opinion.
And remember them that you could start work their as soon as tomorrow or even today 😂.
If they need workers they often have problems to find one .
And even if they find a potential worker often enough they can't start to work in the same week.
In professional or office settings: always be nice to receptionists and secretaries. I don't care if you're there interviewing to be CFO. The rank-and-file employees whose job is to gatekeep higher-ups have more influence than you realize and "jerky" behavior will get shared with the bosses.
Absolutely correct. I watched someone torpedo their chance by being uppity with the very nice, very professional receptionist. I figured from her expression she was part of the hiring process, and as there was still a bit of a wait, went up to the desk, smiled and ask for direction to the ladies powder room, (which I needed as I was nervous), and made sure to make a good impression. After being hired, I used to stand in for her while she was on break, and we became friends. A genuinely nice person, with a sharp as a tack mind. Thank you to the rude person for showing me who was first interviewer, though :-)
3:14 I once interviewed for a job for a small municipal government in the South, and I was interviewed by both the town's mayor and his clerk. I made it a point to address both of them when I was speaking, and involve both of them in my answers. Furthermore, when I asked my typical interview questions ("what do you like most about working here?" "what would you change?" "do you have any funny stories from working here?"), I wanted to hear answers from both of them.
Got the job, worked there for about a year and a half before I had to move.
None of these are hiring managers I have recently came across. Ironically these are all behaviors I see in managers and those above me.
I hate this stigma that you should be dressed to impress at a job interview. I mean yeah if its an "adult job" so to speak as in high paying and stable then yes dress up- but don't expect me to be dressed up at my interview if it's minimum wage.
Minimum wage gets minimum effort.
I disagree to a point. I say wear 👔 1 step higher than the position. If its hourly, just wear a blazer or collared shirt. If a woman wear a dress or business suit.
@@DavidLLambertmobile i disagree because minimum wage isnt enough to pay for rent never mind food and clothes so people will be working 2 maybe 3 jobs to keep afloat so why go and dress proper for a job you could get right next door
"minimum wage gets minimum effort" is the attitude that will mean you always lose the job if you are competing against multiple applicants, why would an employer who has numerous applicants for a position hire the person that only does the bare minimum over the person that goes above that.
@@moosevision8113 As a person who paid his dues in multiple miminum wage jobs i can assure you minimum effort doesn't get you fired. I've gotten highlighted as a good employee just by showing up. Also its common knowledge that minimum wage jobs will try to squeeze everything from you and they'll overwork if you let them. Minimum effort doesn't mean no effort, it literally means what it says.
Clean clothes and a collared shirts is just fine. 🤷🏾♂️
What if you can't make eye contact? I have a lazy eye and it makes me self conscious to the point I can't look people in the eye
The 1st story is truly heart warming,wish there were more people like that in the world
I have cried in many interviews. I am honest, I am very sensitive, with long-term effects of trauma, including a depression that stays. I think the crying is guarantees a “no”. I no longer work. I finally accepted defeat and went on disability, but I earned money as long as I could. I’m so glad those days are over even though it means I forever have a minimal income. Anyway, somehow, don’t cry.
I cry easily and am socially... let's say incompetent. So I'll just flat out tell people that "Oops, I'm going to start crying now, but please don't pay attention to that? I don't mean to, it just happens."
Your not alone.
The person who doesn't hire when a smoker litters gets my respect. I've had several of my neighbors' lawn service people litter in my yard and was horrified. Not only does it discourage me from hiring them, but it made me afraid of hiring any.
The one that always got my Mom, the hiring manager at our business, was how many people had absolutely no answer for the most basic question:
“So, why do you want *this* job?”
“Um........................I dunno...”
“Then why should I hire you?”
“Uhhh.....cuz?”
I was always so confused by that. Shouldn’t it be pretty straightforward? They are literally just asking what led you to getting an application,, filling it out, sending it in, picking up your phone and then coming to interview and sitting here this minute, say SOMETHING!
The only other big one specific to our industry;
If, “Do you drug test? And if so, how often? Is it random?” Are your first questions, then no, I am not going to employ you in our pharmacy.
Always respond nicely to calls from out of area code when you’ve applied for jobs. The company I used to work for had all there calls come out of the area code for the head office, but had a local satellite office.
The first story about clothes, im going in for a job interview today an all i got is one pair of jeans thats isnt stained an 2 shirts that dont have stains. I use to be homeless an till i can get back on my feet thats all i got.
I'd expect that any boss worth working for would understand if you give a brief explanation of why you can't "dress up nice" for the interview.
Ethan beaker maybe some people know him(he has an TH-cam channel that talks about art and had a lot of experience in art and animation industry ) once said: “For all young kids who are going to an interview, don’t use that general tip and be like, I don’t care about the job , I don’t care if gave me the job etc.Even if they will hire you they will have no respect to you as you don’t have respect to the job.Instead of this tell them that you are happy to have the job and why you chose their company among others”
It really surprised me that no one mentioned that type of people.
Gotta say it even if it's a crappy high turnover job. Prob.
"No eye contact."
Hahahahaha.. Ha ha..
I hope that isn’t a major thing. I feel uncomfortable with eye contact and though I work hard to do so during an interview I can’t do it all the time. Not everyone is personally, or even culturally, comfortable with eye contact. I try to look at everyone and esp the person asking me the question.
And this is part of the reason why 80% of autistic people are either unemployed or underemployed. I don't get why we're expected to make eye contact and as Pink Magic Ali said, some cultures discourage eye contact.
Awww the first one was super sweet.
Respect is very important with stuff like this!
The eye contact and dress to impress stuff is bull shit . I have autism and can't wear jeans or smart looking clothes cuz of my sensory processing disorder /the horrible painful material they are often made of and I can't look people in the eye but I'm a very passionate and dedicated worker , wearing jeans dosent effect how I work
If they keep talking about being a "team player" or how important "teamwork" is.
Or being an "associate."
On the flip side, if the interviewer asks how you would handle a difficult or uncooperative coworker, there probably is an employee(s) in the department or in the company who are abusive or uncooperative that you will have to deal with if you get the job who could potentially make your life hell.
Indifference and diligence.
We had a supervisor like that. We all just kinda learned to work around him.
I wish more employers would allow facial piercings/colored hair. It seems very few customers actually care what I look like.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was VP of a small company, for no reason other than we needed another corporate officer for the incorporation paperwork. Anyway, we needed stuff to set up a new office, like a conference table and chairs, furniture for an upscale reception and the like. We told the Office Manager that she would choose who she wanted as a supplier, so bring potential vendors in, and have them do the dog and pony show. She felt a little out of her depth, spending that much corporate money, so I told her I could sit in if she needed, but that the decision was hers, and hers alone. I'd just be an observer and be a support for her. Many of the vendors went through the first two or three minutes perfectly well, but the minute I allowed that was the VP, they dropped her like stone and made their pitch to me. I'd tell them that I wasn't the decision maker, that the Office Manager was. If they didn't immediately revert to making the pitch to her, they were toast. The winning vendors just greeted me politely, nodded when I said I was just an observer, and dealt solely with her.
I once had an interview with a pet store. I find the address on the post, go to it at my time (I was early) and when I got there I was told I was at the wrong location when nobody made any mention of a new store opening or the address or anything, not even on google yet. So I get the fastest ride across town apologize when I get to the new store and they seemed so unimpressed like it was MY fault. They asked if I still wanted to interview and I said I think it’s better if I don’t. I could see the problems there before I even got into the interview at that point.
I once had to sign a form in order to start a job that stated that they could fire me at anytime with no notice for any reason.
Depending on country, that kind of condition could be illegal. I gather that it's generally legal in the USA, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in England and Australia (just for example).
@@melkiorwiseman5234 yeah its just not common in the US at least in my experience only time I've ever experienced it. They utilized it only job I've ever been fired at. It was like 3 weeks in because I missed a stain on a bedsheet.
About half the states have "right to work" laws that permit such hiring/firing practices.
Red flags for me:
You show up looking like you just rolled out of bed
You're late for the interview....I won't even interview you
Majority of business/companies drug screen and run background checks..don't always assume it's a urine test
As a person who has performed hiring, I would fire the computer as it cannot distinguish within context. IE: it is Re-su- may(a CV) not Resume as though you were returning to something. This is typical OCR mistake. I have also heard things like aCow -erker instead of Co- worker. Seriously, if you are trying to earnmoney from these, at least get it right.
Some of these examples are very helpful, but what can get you the job with one interviewer will cost you the job with another. You can plan like crazy and then just meet an interviewer you are not compatible with.
They always want extroverts even though i have the experience I just am not a social enough person and am awkward. I can't get a job to save my life and I am stuck somewhere i hate. Yaay
Don't sweat it. I'm extremely extraverted but managers at companies I have worked for have always found a way to use it against me when convenient. If I'm in a good mood and cheery, it means I am not working, apparently. If a customer/client was a dick, it was my fault for not being rude to them first, if a coworker is a bitch it's on me because they're intimidated. Crap companies will find any reason to not have to pay or treat you well. Don't listen to them.
Not an employer but got asked what I would do with the money once I got hired. Noped the f out of that interview
"Put it in the bank" wasn't an option?
@@dergluckliche4973 oh it was, i did tell them pay rent and buy groceries, but you don't ask that of potential employees, especially when they are a person of color
As a peson always getting hired/interviewed by retail or low wage work, I’ve picked up on a lot.
A young general manager or a lack of a solid management. Usually a sign of a revolving door of employees unwilling to get that far.
“Open” interviews. This almost never works out well for the interviewee because there is always someone better than you. Talk well? Theres someone that can talk better, and theyre probably the next in line. Know the ins and outs of a computer? The guy that just left just showed and proved that he could take apart and build a computer without missing a beat.
(After you possibly start working there) Getting paid often. Every week,comission, or every day (common with restaurant jobs, since tips are your wages). This allows the company to not pay out either as much, or as often to the employee who might or might not leave. Jobs with high turnover usually pay this way. Why do you think fast food/restaurants pay like that?
Cant think of anymore lol. Sadly all I work is the bottom rung of jobs and cant get out 😭

0:31 That...seems a little unfair to me. And makes me wonder if my clothes alone were why I only ever had the initial interview (I have two jobs now, but I never had an interview for the first one).
I was not a... let's go with happy...teenager. My clothes were clean (usually), but the only "nice" clothes I had were formal. Like, that kind of nice. And they weren't exactly professional in their style or cut. I wore jeans and boys' t-shirts (I'm a girl). That was, and largely still is, my whole wardrobe. I always wore clean clothes to interviews, and they never had holes in them or anything, or offensive language/images. Does a thing so trivial and easily explained seriously matter so much? That's kind of angering.
@Roy G Biv Excuse me?
@Roy G Biv Oh, I see. You're not actually inclined to be civil. Okay, bye then.
@Roy G Biv That's not what either of those words mean. If you're going to insult someone, make sure you don't hit yourself in the process.
If interviewers judged me because of my lack of eye contact (i’ve taught myself to look in their direction) or an obvious stammer or my outward fidgeting/stimming, i’d be chronically unemployed. Some people have developmental disabilities or anxiety disorders that inadvertently cause these outward behaviors. Don’t write them off based solely on that.
However, if they are rude or dismissive of the receptionist or the people around them, definitely judge them on that.
My position is a mix between a System Administrator and an IT manager. I have 3 different positions under me. Work studies who are the bottom of the totem pole. They don't need much technical skill so generally I look for good work ethic and customer service skills. With them the only red flags are signs of laziness and a bad attitude. The next up is our Hardware technicians. They require a fair understanding of computer hardware and networking principles. They also work with some aspects of domain accounts and permissions at a very surface level. The main thing here is I'm looking for the ability to work through a problem that you may not have all the pieces to. We work will a lot of older people using technology in an environment where they are usually the smartest person in the room. So they need to be able to work with information that might be embellished for ego reasons. If you can't troubleshoot then I'm not going to be very serious about hiring you. Especially if you say dumb things like "Oh if the mouse doesn't work I just throw it in the trash." Inside a lab where all of the mice are not working. Finally is my assistant supervisor. The two supervisors have to be technically competent. We manage a lot of things. We have an OU in the domain that we are given total control in since we have some specialized disciplines in our area that the larger IT department doesn't have the resources to manage covering the rest of the organization. We also have a second seperated network that is totally under our control to keep some of the spicier things separated from the main network. So there is a lot to work with both Windows and Macintosh as well as some Vsphere administration. But the thing that I use as a filter is you are also a manager. A lot of IT people are more than capable of managing what we have but they don't have the soft skills to deal with managerial work. Teaching technical skills is easy. You can document and teach a process. Managing an employee with a disability or is working through a Title IX incident takes something that many technically minded people struggle with. So often times if they freeze up on those questions I definitely have to weight their technical skill vs how likely are they to get us in trouble with labor laws.
I should mention one of my biggest frustrations is candidates who are in front of me because someone else in our organization put them there. I've had someone who got interviewed for the assistant position because someone high up at HR wanted to help them move jobs. They literally didn't understand computers and their reason for moving was they were bored of their current position. The next was for the technician position and they had no experience with computers. They were put in front of me by someone higher up the food chain since they had a skillset that was needed somewhere else but they didn't have that position approved. I guess they wanted to keep them around until they could. I felt bad for the person. If they had more experience in my field I likely would have taken them. However, the way things work where I am is that the other people grab their fair share of the pie then I take care of the rest. If someone can't cover or I have an opening. I have to start pulling that extra weight. So I tend to be very selective the closer I get to my position.
I have a question. I used to be one of the employees you describe as good with customer service, troubleshooting, and rocket scientist, but not at the higher technical competence you require for your management level(?). 2 questions, actually, One, how does a fully employed person in job A acquire he technical competence of your other positions? ( is it self-study of the configurations and processes at work, or squeeze in a degree in CS in your off hours, or pile on individual courses on each topic used at your company? I kept being informed that I wasn’t as technical as expected, but I eventually realized I didn’t know what I was lacking.) 2. Similarly, where does someone acquire the knowledge or skills to become a supervisor, and start moving vertically?
At this point, I’m just trying to figure out where a I went wrong. I ended up leaving the field of computers, servers, software, and databases. Thanks for any insight. I’m sure you’re busy, but I never figured this stuff out and don’t (and didn’t know) what I could’ve done to keep being a respectable productive person. Ty
@@Sunset553 @Sunset Hey sorry for the late reply. There's lots a ways to get into the field but what I've found is you need a good pool of experience mainly. Some certifications and a degree helps. But those are more to get you past the application. I had a similar issue getting in the door. I had a bachelor's in CSec and a bunch of vocabulary in my head but I really couldn't get a job that you would expect to get with what I had on paper. What I found is that while I had a bachelor's degree in the subject I lacked the real hands on experience to apply these skills in a real situation. I had an interview with Google where I failed because at the time I simply wasn't able to think on my toes due to inexperience. What I would recommend is investing a little in a personal lab set up to tinker and break things. Then fix them and learn. The best people I've found in enterprise level system administration are the people who mess with the tools and concepts at home. I would invest is some decent networking equipment and maybe a low end server. Or get some VMs to play with.
As far as becoming a supervisor or manager you need technical skills and the ability to take charge of things while managing resources well. For example. Hey Adobe Creative Cloud is crashing on entry across all of our Labs. You have yourself and two technicians. How do you divide the work to best take advantage of your guys abilities. However, not everyone one is going to be a manager. Many very qualified people are content with a senior technical role where they solve issues but don't really have authority just enough clout to get people to listen to them. A lot of people who get "managerial" titles get those to keep them as out of the way as possible while keeping a certain skill set around. Promoted to the level of their own incompetence so to speak. A sign of this is an impressive title and good pay but they are left out of big projects and not really called upon to help. It happens a lot more than you would think when you are in government work or working with niche software. But if you have any other questions ask me.
This is funny I had an interview today lol
I'm new to hiring people and am amazed at how low standards can be.
One applicant was to late, in a job where being on time is mandatory.
Another applicant was dressed like straight out of a gangsta rap video, mit taking her woolen hat off, wanting to work with children and suburbian parents.
Yet another one told me straight she is fed up with kids having behavioral issues. Well her job would have been to assist teachers schooling kids with behavioral issues.
one time a trashier girl i knew answered her phone "(town name) semen repository you jack it we pack it" and it was the mcdonalds she had applied to lmao
4 seconds in and I'm already done with that damn robo-reader.
Any job in which you work with very expensive equipment isn't easy, having to constantly pay careful attention so that you don't brake something is nerve-wracking. So no it's not easy.
No, you aren't first and no one cares.
First reply.
Hahahahaha
My favorite answer is just a cookie emoji
2:00 Well, as someone who does software dev and has been through these interviews, sometimes ya'll hr people ask the dumbest things that we don't memorize because its simply a waste of headspace as we have tons of online documentation and/or already existing libraries
Like those freaking sorting questions, god fuck
12:00 Whats wrong with not wanting to talk about a job interview while your out having fun? I wouldn't want to, either. Not everything in life is about work, dude. Its good to a have a day where you don't think about work, and hes even giving you a time that would work for him. I don't see anything unprofessional about that, besides maybe being too honest about what they were doing.
When you realize some of these could’ve been one of us
...and NEVER talk badly about your former employer.
I once did that all through the interview & got hired!
18:01 Imagine not getting a job cause you suck at parallel parking.
I mean, the job is related to machinery and probably construction machine. Being bad at parking definitely means you aren't going to do well with the machine.
Opposite red flags:
'Competitive salary' (You'll get 1 £/$/€ a week above the company with the lowest pay in the sector). 'Salary to be discussed at interview (We don't care what your experience or qualifications are, we'll tell you what you're worth and won't negotiate). 'Earnings _can_ be upwards of...' (One employee once made that after working every day for a week/month of 12-14 hour days. Nobody else will ever earn it).
20 to 30 seconds to park and get out how small is ur lot lol try parking in 30 seconds at a walmart
Yeah, plus I use a cane to get around, so :30 is out.
Anything that deals with not being paid for overtime. If you work extra time, then you get PAID that extra time. No ifs, ands, or buts.
No one has watched the whole video yet
Was a male receptionist for awhile. I was always asked for my opinion on every candidate that presented to reception. Always...
I don’t do these. Now I’m wondering what’s wrong with me. Damn COVID. 😢😡
"I generally hire people with a positive outlook on life" with also "Be genuine and authentic". Yeah, sorry chief, I can only do one of these at a time.
Lifting his John leg!
Me: write that down
Write that down
I have no filter...at all!
My filter only works part time. To shut myself up, I once put a small picture of a football player named Louis Lipps over my desk. He was there to remind me that Louis lips sink ships.
If they say they are like a family rather than a business thats a red flag
0:59 lol
Wait, I just realized this was new
21:45 that's sun tzu
Five interviews for a fast food job???
5 interviews... For Wendy's?
God, I'd hate to meet the person who fails the 2nd interview, considering who they hire!!!
On 'World's Dumbest Criminals,' a guy filled out a job application at a fast food place, with his real info, then decided to rob the place. The clerks gave the police the guy's address & they went & arrested him!
" check your gramer" and then too.... It's two.
Oh no im not first and know one cares 😕
I once screwed up an interview because of the attitude. i was given. In May of 2017, I had an interview with a dental office. I went to the interview and was not chosen. Now, 9 months later, I reapplied because I saw that the job position was open again. When I showed up, the hygienist saw me and said, "Oh its you again." Knowing I wasn't going to get hired, I gave BS and acted very unprofessional.
@Roy G Biv They didn't want to hire and I stopped trying with that chain of offices. I now work at a call center making 40% more than what dental offices pay on average here in my area.
I RUINED THE 69 LIKES!!!!!
That one bass player dude cool.
