Watched a bunch of your videos, specifically the star method ones last week. I went on an interview this morning and wowed them. At the end, they said they still had 4 other candidates to interview and would call me in a week. 2 hours later, I was offered the job. Thank you so much for your videos! Extremely helpful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have an interview tomorrow, I didn’t apply for it because they were asking for a specific college degree that I do not posses, but they contacted me after finding my resume online. So I feel like I have the upper hand, and they told me on the phone they are willing to develop the right candidate. I love these question to ask them, thank you, wish me luck.
I used question # 5 at the end of a job interview for a big civil service promotion, with a panel twelve interviewers, this past Monday. I got offered the job right after the interview. You are great, Don!
You have a lot of great advice. I blew a few great job interviews and kicked myself all the way home. I’ve aced phone interviews but had a face-to-face and failed. You have a lot of great tips and you are a great speaker. Your voice is so pleasant. Thanks for providing lots of free information. I am going to get your book. I am in the over 50 crowd and need all the help that I can get.
I've had candidates ask questions that they thought there were "supposed" to ask. It's usually pretty obvious and it seems worse than asking no question at all. I completely agree that you should only ask questions that you're comfortable with asking.
How is it worse? Don't most employers immediately eliminate a candidate who didn't ask a question regardless of how they performed? And don't give me that "it's inauthentic" crap. You know as well as I do that every successful interview was scripted
As a retail employee, I used to get so upset when customers asked the price of something with the price tag right in front of them...until my mom did it, and I found out it was because she had trouble reading without her glasses...really gave me some perspective on being kinder
Tyler Werner Retail group interviews I remember when I was in my early 20s some of them have one or two people I wanted to just kill. I now think I’m glad I didn’t get the job. Retail seems like you have to be intimidated to ask questions. Now I don’t have time to waste and just ask. The hiring person was liking that we were verbal fighting.
I feel strongly that asking who the company's biggest competitor is falls under the category of stupid questions because you could have (and SHOULD have!) researched that answer online BEFORE the interview.
This is a great question because like he said it gives them a chance to prove if the place is worth your time secondly research don’t prove anything because some people don’t care about competitors so in their mind they may not have a competitor. For example I run my own retail business and if I was hiring somebody and they tried to make him self sound smart by talking about another small business in the back of my mind I really it don’t make them sound any more interesting because I know what I need for (my business ) and I really couldn’t care less what another business is doing. So for me because he resents the history of the company and what other businesses are doing really isn’t going to make any difference to me all I want to know is can you perform the duties of the job point blank
This is why Don says in the video to, "...ask the question only if it feels right to you and not because some guy in a video told you to ask that question."
Actually it isn't so stupid. There is a difference in perception at times. Just because I believe Company X is a competitor doesn't mean that the company I'm interviewing with believes it to be so. They might actually view Company Z or G as a more direct competitor while these companies aren't even on my (external non-player) radar.
I always ask at the end "Is there any reason why you wouldn't hire me for this position?" I feel it gives me a chance to explain any concerns they may be having before I leave. Not sure if that is a good move or not though.
I like it and asked two of the questions from here and got a managerial role, as well as, the pre-knowledge of what was going on at the job; which I conveniently encountered the very situation from an employee on the first day at the job, I felt an internal smile when it came up and was 100% prepared - it felt like crushing a popcan underheel.
Mr. Don Georgevich...U R 1 of the most refreshingly in4mative personalities I have seen & heard in a L O N G time! Ur common sense knowledge (or should I write, "UNcommon?") and tongue in cheek humor is extremely valuable, rite on, and timeless; your delivery is lively & candid with just the correct dash of upbeat comedy. U really come across with a solid combination punch of hands on wisdom and sit down comedy. I look at it this way, if we cannot have fun during an interview, forget about it.
The importance of questions to ask has always made me wonder about how to go about it, what to and what not to, Don's guide helps is helpful. I have seen two of Don's videos so far and what I find most helpful from his videos versus other videos is his explanation with examples. It is good to know how to answer/get the thought process started with a given answer than to just know what to do or what not to.
You are the best, I have been whatching your videos for a week, I followed your tips and advice and I felt confident on My interview today, and they called me back 30 min later!!!
I recently interviewed for a job which was not too well paid but the job was not difficult for me. My resume has a long history of good titles & high profile projects...I can't hide or downplay these facts, but nevertheless, it was really local & a very nice place to work, with flexible working & a very friendly, low key atmosphere. Because of this I was OK to take a fair pay & responsibility cut in exchange for a happy, workplace where it would not be difficult to shine bright while not even having to put my coffee down. It was especially attractive considering the very short commute that made up for a chunk of the lower net pay after travel costs. The 1st interview went well, it was obvious I could do the job easily, everyone was smiling & they had already let the "low pay cat" out of the bag early. Then the any questions moment came up & I asked about future progression maybe into design or R&D if the right role came along one day, the idea being to grab a better opportunity to improve pay & responsibility if & when it arose, using my extensive knowledge of the products from within. The HR lady looked at the department manager who looked at the general manager, then back & there was this awkward 15 second of silence with the three sets of eyes darting around in the headlights. The answer was finally fumbled by the HR lady who said that this does not happen & there was nothing on the long term radar for this sort of move. We all chatted another 10 minutes or so, bid our thanks with handshakes & smiles. When I got home I emailed to thank for the interview etc, & said I was keen to continue to the 2nd interview. I got an email back saying they would be in touch by the end of the week with the "next stage"....so I thought OK sounds good. Long story cut short I waited a week then another day & the HR lady called me to say they had decided not to proceed further...I was gutted! I could do this job with bells on, I had already decided I was very willing to give this job more than a good shot even though the pay was not great in return for being content & the fact that there was no natural progression did not really matter. What sort of world is it that I can blow something by wanting to progress & be more valuable to a company?...
Bwoy Don, mi a listen to yu from mawnin.. a yu one.. mi husband a quarrel sey mi nuh av time fi him..lawd geezas. Ok now proper English.: ) I was or maybe still abit nervous about my interview on Monday, but listening to you, makes it so much more better. Your easy to understand. I really appreciate your lessons on everything. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Don. The videos are really helpful. I had my interview this afternoon and for what i noticed it went very well. They introduced me to HR director,operations manager, vice president of the company and finally the president. I did ask some questions but i probably screwed up everything by asking the pay range. Ughh 🤔 hopefully they see everything i did accomplish on my interview and forget about the last question. Lol
To me there are only 4 good questions in those 12. Most of the questions you mention will actually be asked by the employer to you, or questions such as salary range questions are not appropriate to ask during the first interview. This comes later.
I've seen quite a few of your videos and took your advice. I even came prepared with a diagram and questions. I got the job! Your advice is great. I answered with stories of how I implemented what they asked and gave examples.
Con toda esa clase preguntas y respuestas, la entrevista de trabajo se ha convertido en una campo de batalla. With all those kind of questions and answers, job interview has become a battlefield.!
I noticed that most of your videos are geared towards sales and that type of job. I am a recent graduate with an associates degree in medical office assistant. I have had a few interviews but no offers. Any tips for getting hired in a the healthcare industry? I have your top 10 questions and interview guide. Thanks!
I like candidates who bring a book and pen to the interview. This tells me they have thought through their questions and want to write anything they feel is important. There is no interview where this is not appropriate.
great video. very useful and informative and relevant. only one comment, please make the audio louder so the audience can clearly and effortlessly hear and absorb those rich and very intelligent tips! thank you very much sir :)
Hey Don!! I really like your channel! Do you have any suggestions for the “older “ job seekers. Everyone is talking about age discrimination. I know it is “real” however, I don’t want to dwell on the negative. My biggest concern is when you’ve been unemployed for several months. I’ve learned so much about this issue and ultimately want to become “employed” at a place I can stay till retirement (at least 10 years). THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!
I'm kind of scared to ask a question that I may be expected to know the answer to. Like... What are the top programming languages and software that you guys use daily? What if they expect me to have done the research already? What if it's the second interview and I should have already asked these questions in the first interview?
Hi Don. It's my intention to rephrase each one of these questions for if I am unable to satisfactorily articulate the question in the context of my own job interview, then I will know it's not an appropriate question for me to ask. Perhaps this might be an effective exercise for others watching this video as well.
@@DonGeorgevich Hi Don. I actually did what I said I was going to do in the paragraph above and it worked extremely well. I had FOUR HOURS of interviewing and I smashed every one of them after implementing every single one of the ideas in your videos. I watched over 10 of your videos and used ALL...ALL of the advice you provided.
Hello Don, thank you very much for your professional advice! I have got a job according to your wonderful suggestion on how to ask questions in a job interview.
I would have thought that a top company’s first issue with someone asking the competitors questions is that, really, you should already know. Almost anyone who is aware of Apple, google etc. could answer that question. “We’re at the top, where are you” sounds like they’re taking it personally or are easily offended.
2:06 : 1) Can you tell me more about the day-to-day responsibilities of this job? 2:30 : 2) Who do you consider your top competitor and why? 3:42 : 3) What do you like best about working in this company? 4:38 : 4) What do you think are the most important qualities to excel in this role? 5:01 : 5) What are the biggest challenges facing your department right now? 6:21 : 6) How do I compare to other candidates you have interviewed for this role? 7:37 : 7) What are the next steps in the interview process? 8:51 : 8) What are your expectations for this role in the first 6 months? 9:21 : 9) Have you determine a salary range for this position? 11:24 : 10) Where do you think the company is headed in the next 5 years? 12:55 : 11) Can you describe the company culture? 14:26 : 12) What are the biggest opportunities for the company right now?
I just want to say Amazon has competitors ie. ( Best Buy, wal mart, target, frys,) etc. The question was who are your top competitors? not who is bigger and better then you. And if they can’t understand that question then I doubt that’s anywhere you should want to be. So I don’t see it as a bad question at all
Usually when I am contacted, they often mention the salary or salary range, and I can decide if that's an acceptable range for me, along with if the position is the direction I want to take my career.
I think you need to get a feel for the interviewer. I would say 2-3 is fine, but if your having a good conversation, continue it. The more face time you have with someone, the more memorable you will be. Make sure you ask smart questions and not just ones to fill time.
#3 is NOT a good question to ask... I know because I asked it at my last interview... The woman refused to answer it and said it was too personal. Lets just say I didn’t get the job..
The question is perfectly acceptable to ask. The person that tool offense to it was not acting in an acceptable way. I've been asked that question countless times by applicants and I'm happy to answer.
Probably not a place you want to work at anyway. I almost always ask this question and it's never been received poorly. It's one of my favorite questions to ask (immediately followed by "what do you like least about working here?"). Those questions I like to save for peer interview. Managers tend to give more fluffy answers. You'd be amazed how frank the peers will be.
Hi Don, now a days lot of people are having financial problems so they really dont want to focus on these questions but are really desperate to just get a job and a salary etc...what do we say to such kind of people who are not looking to ask anything at all from a company at the interview but just going there for the hope of getting a job, a monthly salary and solving their personal encumbrances? Bcos i know a lot of people who are desperate to get jobs for salary even if the job sucks.
Hello. I recently found your channel and have been enjoying the videos. Thank you. I am at the last round of interviews for a job I really want. Local candidates will have the chance of a face-to-face. I'll have to use video call. The hiring team will be on that interview. Do you have suggestions for me that might help compensate for my "non face-to-face" opportunity. I feel a bit in disadvantage at the moment. Thanks in advance.
Excellent videos Mr Don. Thanks sharing your expert advice. Could you please share the leadership styles expected from mid-senior level positions? Eg general managers.
I found your channel recently, thanks for the great content. Is there a rule of thumb you suggest for how many questions are too many, let's say in the first interview? Cheers

Congrats 🎉
Why did they not wait for a week?
I got my first job at Mc Donalds today. My interviewer was so impressed.
awesome. congrats!
please drive around!
I have an interview tomorrow, I didn’t apply for it because they were asking for a specific college degree that I do not posses, but they contacted me after finding my resume online.

What type of position was it?
Joseph Nash wow go ahead boy!! I woulda been a nervous wreck!
You have a lot of great advice. I blew a few great job interviews and kicked myself all the way home. I’ve aced phone interviews but had a face-to-face and failed. You have a lot of great tips and you are a great speaker. Your voice is so pleasant. Thanks for providing lots of free information. I am going to get your book.

Did you ask the salary question? Congrats!

All of his videos are gold. He really helped me out through my job interview process. AND I got the job!
Anyone who says there are no stupid questions has never worked retail or in a restaurant
Or in customer service, for that matter!
Or just customer service period
As a retail employee, I used to get so upset when customers asked the price of something with the price tag right in front of them...until my mom did it, and I found out it was because she had trouble reading without her glasses...really gave me some perspective on being kinder
Tyler Werner Retail group interviews I remember when I was in my early 20s some of them have one or two people I wanted to just kill. I now think I’m glad I didn’t get the job. Retail seems like you have to be intimidated to ask questions. Now I don’t have time to waste and just ask. The hiring person was liking that we were verbal fighting.
Or at a school!
He makes the assumption the interviewer is competent. In my experience, a lot of them haven't a clue how to interview someone.
Yep. True. Met those bustardos
I hope to be interviewed by that particular dumb one lol 😆😂
this is very helpful.. I haven't had a job interview in 9 years so thanks again for your channel
I have job interview tomorrow and I really need this job
How'd it go?
Any update?
I feel strongly that asking who the company's biggest competitor is falls under the category of stupid questions because you could have (and SHOULD have!) researched that answer online BEFORE the interview.
Cat Hamilton basically because you should already know this. Also you should know the day to day already as well.
Like he said, for smaller companies. That info might not be super clear online for a small business.
This is a great question because like he said it gives them a chance to prove if the place is worth your time secondly research don’t prove anything because some people don’t care about competitors so in their mind they may not have a competitor.

That takes massive balls. It probably will not work but if it does, then you're a star and they like you.
A great question to ask. No matter what you have the upper hand to see where they are heading
Depends on the industry

Getting ready for an interview next Wednesday...brilliant points! Subscribed!
Thank you so much I am going for an interview this video helped a lot
Hello Don, thank you very much for your professional advice! I have got a job according to your wonderful suggestion on how to ask questions in a job interview.
I would have thought that a top company’s first issue with someone asking the competitors questions is that, really, you should already know. Almost anyone who is aware of Apple, google etc. could answer that question. “We’re at the top, where are you” sounds like they’re taking it personally or are easily offended.
This guy is awesome!
Thank you for this! I have two interviews next week for remote positions and I am super nervous!
Interviewer : do you have any questions for me ?
Me : Yes ! Can you tell me about your self ?
UGHHHHH WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE MY INTERVIEW. EXCELLENT QUESTIONS
many thanks

Great channel, the most valuable for job searching.
Many thanks
@@DonGeorgevich we just started, I really like your channel, I subscribed long time ago, but right now, it has been super helpful in my confidence.
Thank you for saying that there are stupid questions...
I just want to say Amazon has competitors ie. ( Best Buy, wal mart, target, frys,) etc. The question was who are your top competitors? not who is bigger and better then you. And if they can’t understand that question then I doubt that’s anywhere you should want to be. So I don’t see it as a bad question at all
it's all relative.
I think 1st, 7th, 8th, and 9th questions are only good to ask in general.
I got 4 offers and finally contract with a big company
Love your show very much, so true and helpful.
I’m watching this bc I have an interview tonight lol wish me luck
Always admire Don's content
Thank you, excellent advice and very well presented.
Great content! I plan to use these today on my second interview
Usually when I am contacted, they often mention the salary or salary range, and I can decide if that's an acceptable range for me, along with if the position is the direction I want to take my career.
agreed
Don, generally how many questions is enough to ask? 2-3?
I think you need to get a feel for the interviewer. I would say 2-3 is fine, but if your having a good conversation, continue it. The more face time you have with someone, the more memorable you will be. Make sure you ask smart questions and not just ones to fill time.
Thanks Don for great questions!! subscribed :)
#3 is NOT a good question to ask...
I know because I asked it at my last interview...
The woman refused to answer it and said it was too personal.
Lets just say I didn’t get the job..
The question is perfectly acceptable to ask. The person that tool offense to it was not acting in an acceptable way. I've been asked that question countless times by applicants and I'm happy to answer.
She was wrong. I ask this all the time and I get great responses. She didnt like working there or had problems she didnt want to discuss.
So your reanswer could be to laugh sympathetically and say: yeah, I just wanted to try...
Or something, making sure none is embarrassed.

Probably not a place you want to work at anyway. I almost always ask this question and it's never been received poorly. It's one of my favorite questions to ask (immediately followed by "what do you like least about working here?"). Those questions I like to save for peer interview. Managers tend to give more fluffy answers. You'd be amazed how frank the peers will be.
Thank you George Donovich.
The BEST questions ever!! Im definitely using some tommarow for my 2nd interview!
Don, I adore you:) You’re awesome.
xoxoxo
Great tips - thank you for sharing!
Great video! Thanks
Woow great questions I ever had
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Hi Don, now a days lot of people are having financial problems so they really dont want to focus on these questions but are really desperate to just get a job and a salary etc...what do we say to such kind of people who are not looking to ask anything at all from a company at the interview but just going there for the hope of getting a job, a monthly salary and solving their personal encumbrances? Bcos i know a lot of people who are desperate to get jobs for salary even if the job sucks.
Don.....i didnt hear from you on my this question
Hello. I recently found your channel and have been enjoying the videos. Thank you. I am at the last round of interviews for a job I really want. Local candidates will have the chance of a face-to-face. I'll have to use video call. The hiring team will be on that interview. Do you have suggestions for me that might help compensate for my "non face-to-face" opportunity. I feel a bit in disadvantage at the moment. Thanks in advance.
Excellent video... thank you!
Thanks Don...I quite enjoy your videos. : )
Tk u
It’s helped me to pass my interview
You're great!
Respected Sir I did not ask any question at the end of my interview with an international organization. Will it affect my performance in any way?
I love you ❤️ Don, thanks for great video
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!
Thank you Don!
thanks for the help!
Thank you this video is very helpful.
Awesome
Excellent video always thank you 🙏🏻
many thanks
Any questions for internal job interview?
Excellent videos Mr Don.
Thanks sharing your expert advice. Could you please share the leadership styles expected from mid-senior level positions? Eg general managers.
I’ll see if I can work in that video
I found your channel recently, thanks for the great content. Is there a rule of thumb you suggest for how many questions are too many, let's say in the first interview?
Cheers
Not really
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks.
