Bro i love your videos, they are very helpful and engaging, you make me laugh sometimes also. Keep it up bud
Thank you so much! My goal is to turn you into such a great interviewer you don’t have to live a life of crime!
Ben Sir,
There's something about your craft nobody can possess. Fanboying you for life! 💚👊🏻
Thanks Ashish! Plenty more videos on the way! Thank you for your support!
I dont know why jobs just cant always post their bottom wage or a range on their ad, i think people would have more patience about waiting to discuss the wage then. And you wouldnt even get an application from people who were going to decline the job for that reason all along. Then we could all stop pretending money isnt the primary reason we work and every other reason comes after.
Ben you Rock !! THANK YOU for everything you share. 😎
You are very welcome David!!!
Great info! It boggles my mind how easily people can put themselves behind the eight ball or simply out of the hiring process by not covering the basics. If you are rude to the recruiter, why on earth would they recommend you to the hiring manager? If they behave like that when they have so much to gain (and lose), how will they treat customers and co-workers after they have the role?
It’s so true! Showing up early, working hard and being kind will get you very far!
@@BenTalksTalent But some attitudes don't show up under AFTER they are hired.
Some will do and say all the right things in the interview, but then, when they get the job, their true character emerges.
What red flags can recruiters spot when interviewing duplicitous people?
Let me add one: the candidate told me about something he did, and he claimed credit as his achievement, which unfortunately for him, I’m an expect on the topic, them of course I asked several questions and it became clear he did a small part of that, not all. For me that was a red light right the way, even if he was the bast candidate.
That’s such an important point. This often happens when candidates are asked “what’s your proudest career achievement” or a question like that. Then after they state an important project, several follow up questions may get asked. If you can’t answer, it looks really bad.
@@BenTalksTalent But when you are on a team, you are part of a team, so what if you don't have a big individual achievement?
I take no more than 2 or 3 minutes to answer any question!
Nice and efficient!
I do have a question- while those list of items make great sense.
What happens when you speak with a recruiter who comes off as an a*hole and talks down to you?
I know some people would established some rules in the convo- Because tone makes a difference in your approach.
How should one handle that?
Well, I would still do your best. It’s unfortunate they have chosen to act like that but you still want to put yourself in the position to succeed!
So I am a fresher and looking for jobs. I get asked if i am applying to other companies as well, how many interviews have i given, what were the companies or what were the responses. How can I smartly answer?
I will make a video discussing this! It’s a complicated question to answer but I think in a video I can cover it pretty completely.
@@BenTalksTalent
Oh thank you so much, i would be looking forward to it. Just so so eager to know about this.
So looking for a job for better pay is considered "looking for the wrong reasons"?
Hi Daniel! I personally think it’s a fine reason, however, hiring managers prefer to see other motivators as the primary motivators. They prefer candidates be motivated by the company, the role, the increase in responsibility as opposed to “this pays more than my current role”. It means you are less likely to accept a counter from your current company and less likely to move again just for a bigger salary. Does that make sense? I think I may do an “ask a recruiter” video explaining it. Good question Daniel!
@@BenTalksTalent This pairs well with what I heard recently from a manager going through a hiring round - they aren't just looking for "I want to leave my current company" but they also want to hear "I want to work for your company and serve your customers" - otherwise you are nothing more than an escape from their current place and there isn't anything special about your company which sticks out to them.
@@FreedomandBaconHomestead a good rule in general is you want to appear to be running to something as opposed to from something!
@@FreedomandBaconHomestead However, what is the reason that they chose YOUR company rather than someone else?
Why put benefits or compensation in the ad then, if you don't want that to be the reason?
Are the people hiring doing it for free? Are they doing it just to help out a business voluntarily? No, so it is a bit rich expecting this of others.
@@FreedomandBaconHomestead I think it depends on how an employee is valued as well.
I saw a survey which asked employees what the number one thing they wanted from their employer was, and the result was interesting.
The number one thing was ....appreciation. They wanted their boss to acknowledge their hard work and value, and not be taken for granted. If they got this, amount of pay etc, was not as important.
Sometimes, being paid well is more a reflection of how valued the employee is, as the employer values you so much, he will gladly pay you what you are worth.
Here's one, when the recruiter contacts you for an interview and you tell them that you've accepted a job and are set to start. Then the following week you contact them and ask them if the opportunity is available and send them your interview availability because things didn't work out. crickets that's what the candidate may get. I guess it makes the person seem wishy-washy and turns off the recruiter.
They probably just moved on with other candidates and discarded you when you said it’s a no. That’s my guess.
I don't fully understand your question.
I think if you are booked for an interview and have to change it, what if something dramatic happens between getting their call and going to the interview, like an emergency, surely some leeway is given, or it is rescheduled.
I have always thought that the employer or manager should directly hire you, rather than use the recruiting company.
This person will be working for the employer, so he needs someone he can like, trust and want workimg for him. It has to be someone he can work with.
Recruiters interview people that they aren't going to probably see again once they have the job. You are just a number to them. If the candidate turns out to be a dud, does it come back on the recruiter?
The boss is the one directly affected by a good or bad candidate, so he should choose who HE or SHE wants, not on who third parties pick.
Well, companies need help sometimes finding people. That’s where we come in!
Asking for pay is asking for the wrong reasons.
But what other reason do we work?
In the end, people work to make money, just like the employer. Otherwise you are not an employee, you are a volunteer.
Most people will stop working tomorrow if they are not paid.
Employers start businesses to make money, so why expect those who work for you to not be working for the same reason.
Unless you run a charity, no-one does this for ulteristic reasons.
The number one reason people work is to be paid, so that they can pay to have a roof over their head, food on the table and to pay the bills, to survive, and to buy things that then help other businesses, and keep the economy running.
A fair day's pay for a fair day's work.
This is fair but motivation is optics. I don’t work for free either. But I understand that in an interview no hiring managers want to think it’s your primary motivation. Do you know what I mean Dale?
@@BenTalksTalent Yes and no.
It shouldn't be the first thing mentioned, but they are dumb if they don't realise that everybody is there primarily for that
I mean, no-one is doing it because they have nothing better to do. So yeah, everyone should go along with the charade that everyone sitting in that meeting is doing it for more novel reasons than pay.
I left my last job because it was a toxic workplace, they didn't follow COVID protocols, I wasn't compensated properly, I never got time off etc. I would expect the next place to provide better in those areas, before I would work for them.
@@dhenderson1810 I totally get it. And I’m on your side, it’s why I make these videos. But it is the reality of interviewing.
@@BenTalksTalent Thanks, Ben. I appreciate that.
I want to go and work for a place where I am appreciated, where the boss has my back, and where I am compensated fairly. I am there to do a job to make the boss's life easier, and to serve his customers so that they keep coming back. Wanting something back is not too much to ask, and if someone doesn't hire me because I ask about renumeration, I probably dodged a bullet, because it reflects how they may value me.
I don't expect to be paid millions, but I don't work for scraps, either.
