I agree, take away the fear of failure and you can focus on success. I advise people to rehearse the answers to questions they may be asked. Be positive and prepare more then the next person.
That's good advice. I had the same experience. The mere fact that you prepared a lot takes the nervousness out of you. Because you have repeated the answers and know you will be talking fluently and with ease. That's the most you can do.
The key is to ignore reality. Doesn't matter what you say or don't say. You have to be in a good mood, you have to FEEL GOOD. Picture yourself with a sizable bank account, nice car & house. You
Tomorrow I have a job interview, after 4 years of being a stay at home mom. I am so happy I bumped into your channel, your tips are very helpful! New subscriber here
Your advice is spot on. I wrote down some common interview questions and answered them: 1) What is your experience and how will it contribute to this role? 2) Why should we hire you? These questions are always asked in one form or another. I have a second interview next week 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This helps it’s true preparation is key... I successfully defended my dissertation because of preparation... a week before graduation I was laid off. I haven’t been interviewing in some time but I reached back on the preparation I did for the defense and related to a job it helped... WRITE DOWN REHEARSE and remember they are human like you just pray for the RIGHT JOB not A JOB ✌🏽 thanks for the reminders
Thank you for these videos, I watched these all day and got so many tools to help me to be good at job interview. I shined like a star and got the job!!🙌🏼 It is very true that the better you prepare, the better you will hadle it and the better chances you have at getting the job😊
Don, this video was absolutely wonderful. I'm getting ready for an interview and I had casually assumed I would be able to just recall all the experiences I had at a previous job. While sitting down and trying to recall those things, I was amazed at how foggy some of those memories had become. Now that I've recalled them and written them down I feel like I did them yesterday. Also, you're very pleasant to listen to. You remind of my childhood doctor who used to make me feel very relaxed. Thank you!!
I had an interview couple weeks ago, and I felt that I wasn’t able to answer the questions like how I wanted to because my nerve got the best of me and I usually don’t get nervous when I talk to people. I just felt that I panicked on questions and I started pulling random scenarios and try to put it all together on the spot, even though, I had rehearsed my answers in what I wanted to say. (Till this day when I think about it, I face palm myself ) I felt that the interview did not go as well as planned but I did receive a strong lesson from it. Confidence is key, having an optimistic mind will definitely help. Being prepared as to what to say is crucial, but the most important part is to learn how to be comfortable in the situation that you’re in, which will allow you to be able to be in control of your actions and help you deliver those answers properly and promptly. The way that I feel like I had failed was that I had panicked and did not allow myself to give myself enough time to think of how I could approach the question and answer it properly.
Thank you! I trusted this process and I got the job! I was having a hard time remembering my past experiences. So all I did was write down the good experiences and I felt comfortable to tell my story. It gave me confidence to sit and tell my real story.
I have to practice on camera just to see if I can break my habit of looking up and around while articulating my statements. I loath interviewing with a mask on because I feel like all they are looking at are my wondering eyes. I notice in your videos you look directly at the camera no matter what you are saying with voice inflections, hand movements, you keep eye contact. I need this skill for interviews!😁
Great channel! Interviews come natural to me, I realized I am doing many of your tips already without thinking about it. I still get some valuable points out of your videos, though! Be confident and authentic and have fun! It really comes down to that. Good luck everyone!
The only way to ease nerves is to not want the job, meaning you have a job already or have another job in the bag. If you're unemployed & bill collector is buzzing in, it's almost impossible to stay positive.
I took a whole week to prepare my 4 pages response to all possible behavioural questions before I went to interview with employer A, and I walked out of their office with 99% confidence, yet the other guy got the job. A few days later I went to another interview at employer B and thought my performance was terrible, I couldn't even give a complete answer, let alone good one, to "your ability to think on your feet", and to my surprise they gave me the job......
For the first interview, its hard to know, because we don't know who the other person was, and how their interview was. They could have been the boss's nephew. So shrug that one off. For the second one? I think sometimes nervousness can HELP. If the interviewer, or the boss, is secretly concerned about their ability to be the leader.....they may like some nervousness, and know that you are not too confident to take advice, or learn from them.
THANK YOU! I often have this very problem and it boggled my mind how to resolve it. The only times I'm not a nervous mess is when it's a more casual, conversational style interview. But you always need to be prepared for the traditional questions and interview style. I am already writing down stories from my past work history stored in my long term memory. I'm going to see how this works for my interview tomorrow. And will continue watching your videos!
Thinking back to the past experiences you did with your colleagues, friends - a time when you were comfortable, you feel like yourself, you were the boss, you were doing what you do/ doing the very best... you start talking your stories and experiences. Best Way to do this: Start writing down your experiences, write down all the details, break in phases. Rewriting everything you worked on, transferring long-term experiences into short-term memory, which you could talk about things fast and without a lot of thought. Think of the good times and fun you had on those projects, which makes you relaxed and they will see the real you. Start with 1 project, then work on another 2-3 that is relevant to the position (competencies, skills), rewrite and reread them before the interview, and continually reinforce past experience into short-term memory. Then the interview is going to be a lot more easy, you will talk with smile and will going to be yourself. This will eliminate brain freeze (totally) if you rewrite all your past experiences in detail, and go through again and you will have more to fill the blanks. Then you will be unstoppable and on your best game during the interview and able to answer any questions - you already thought about that ahead of time. That's a biggest reason people fail in the interview - they don't think of those ahead of time, during the interview your nerves are high, so it won't work. Think about all you plan to talk during the interview (Not sure what they will ask? Go though the job description and see what they are looking for, and start thinking about the experiences and relate to them)
I used to be super nervous in interviews. Then I had the mentality. I didn't have the job to begin with. What's the worst that can happen? I won't get the job??? That's not a terrible outcome because I never had that job anyways. When I got through to that mentality of having nothing to lose, I became extremely natural in every interview. Now, I understand that if you're unemployed and strained for cash, that mentality might not work. I was laid off Oct 2020 and tried my best to think positively. "Hey what's the worst that can happen in this interview? I don't get the job. But I really didn't lose anything". With that mentality, I felt natural in every interview and got 5 job offers in late Oct 2020, a mere 2 weeks after being laid off.
I feel like I was natural , certain questions I gave them a quick answer like , “do I have a reliable car ?” I said , “I have another car” Not my car it’s my GF’s but if I needed to use it I most likely could. Everything is not clear cut and not enough time to explain it all . All I know is watching these videos helped me get through my first interview and I landed the job . I will continue to watch as I move up in the company . It was weird I wasn’t nervous at all , prep people ! 🙏🏽💪🏽
This is good advice but as much as I try to prepare myself before interviewing, there’s always a behavioral question that throws me off then I lose my confidence.
I just had a panel interview today with FIVE PEOPLE. Absolutely terrifying. And my mind is saying I did terrible but I am hoping that they heard the real me and saw past the nervousness. Your videos have really helped me to prepare to talk about my work experiences. Thank you.
Dear sir. You make me feel so comfortable with your videos...I have an interview tomorrow for a receptionist position in a law office. I wish I could of asked you a question or two as I am trying to prepare for this interview. Lawyers can be so picky...then again I have to really impress them. Yes, I really need a job right now. Thank you sir for this awesome video! 🎖
Pretty good advice, in my recent interview I kept saying "um" too many times cause I kept getting asked questions that dealt with my previous job, and it was so difficult because I could answer their question, but not in specifics since I had to think about something that happened years ago, all the while 7 people are staring at me, a little hard to think when you don't prepare first.
Be me in the next job interview. When can I begin re-writing the past experience before interview? After submitting the resume or after I have been notified for scheduled interview?
I am most comfortable when uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable I am, the happier I feel. Feeling uncomfortable comes naturally. There is no comfort zone in my fleeting home.
I was very nervous on a recent HireVue screen. I hope I did well enough to get to a real interview if there is one. I’m a skilled trades worker so I think a lot of your advice still applies. The hirevue was strange not personal, only had 3 or 4 video recorded questions and a few written answer question. my job doesn’t consist of being on a computer a lot besides for repair information or documenting service or technology like that but I am young enough to still “get it” haha. Thanks Don for the tips. I’ll remember this one for an interview. Hopefully my solid back ground sells some of what they need as it’s hiring for the same job I’ve done the past 11 years for a highly regarded company (current employer)
In an interview, what should you do with your hands? Put your hands on your lap? On the table? Is it best to speak with your hands? Should I cross my hands? I know there's no one answer to this, but I want to try to get into a posture where I don't seem awkward. It's easier for me to talk to people when I'm doing something.
Its like buying a new car. Just picture yourself six months down the road. Does it still have that wonderful formaldehyde smell? BTW, thanks for putting out these videos. You're a great inspiration for us job seekers. You deserve some kind of TH-cam award for putting such useful information in this public domain unlike unboxing videos!
"Short term memory" is the word, right! I knew this but didn't have the explanation of why we need to repeat the info we already know, in order to speak fluently.
Hey every body Abdel Olayyan typing , i would mention " Hey Done why should listen to you"?the answer since you really doing great HR consulting job !!!Thanks ,,
Had an interview on Tuesday where the interviewer from the very start was slouched on his chair and his head leaned against his fingers. So unprofessional, and made it awkward and more nervous for me. It was a complete time waster.
Hi Don, Vivek Khanna this side from India, I have my interview lined up and have been following your channel and sparing 2 hours daily to watch just your videos. It would be great if you can mail me the pdf copy of your The Complete Interview Answer Guide so that I can prepare better. Thanks a lot for this channel, it is really helping me outshine in past interviews.
I once had an interview that went horribly in every way. he thought I was late bc the email said one time but I confirmed a different time with the secretary due to my work schedule. so he thought I was late, he was unimpressed, I got so nervous it was just a cringe interview. then when I left I had a parking ticket waiting for me on top of not getting the job. I learned a lot from that experience though 🙌🏼
I feel your pain. I was late for wait a job interview and I backed my car into a telephone pole and cost myself $1000 in damage and I didn’t get the job
Don, thank you very much for the tips. This is great, great, great! Can you please give me one advice? My native language is Serbian, and I am having an interview, video interview, in English and it is much harder for me. Your videos are great for me. Writing down my answers really makes me more comfortable. Since I'm a non-native speaker should I make it simple or should I use fancy phrases? Is it more important how I sound or what I'm going to say? How to slow down because sometimes I want to say some many things and speak too fast because I don't want to forget it. Naturally I think both Serbian and English while I speak. When I speak more than 10 minutes I am relaxed. Thank you very much!
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks man I feel like I tanked it honestly and the interviewer could tell, but now I know what questions I need to work on since I usually start strong at the beginning with why I want to work for them, its just after that when I start to argue with myself internally about what I should share next
I've been a robot for years and I'm petrified of the next interviews I'll be having, which will be soon. I'm doing a job I never really chose, but ended up doing. Go in, do it, go home, same shit different day, all blurring into one. I'm looking to get my CV together for external jobs as well back in my field of choice, but haven't done that for years and previous job in that area was a shitshow.
@@DonGeorgevich Not very a useful reply! Think about how jobs can affect you! You can become drained and feel like you cannot be yourself, what is yourself now?
I got laid off Monday and I was bummed out but on Tuesday I received 2 calls that wanted to conduct interviews with me tomorrow is my first interview🙏🙏🙏🙏
The problem is when the interview is short and fast, when that person doesn't have a time and you can sense that and you can't do much about it. Im a designer and im not very good with the interview thing.
Had a job interview the other day where I think I did very very well however it was one question that I should have been able answer quite easily and my mind went blank. So what do you do in that particular situation?
I think this is not 100%, to never ever show any nervousness. Being an older person, with much younger interviewers, much younger bosses, they are often secretly concerned, that I won't take direction, that I will be too bossy. So in SOME cases, showing a little nervousness is good. You are allowing that the interviewer is the boss.
is it ok to take note, and write some answers down on paper and use during the interview? i mean in case the mind goes blank? i don't mean to keep reading on note while answer, just when need
I agree, take away the fear of failure and you can focus on success. I advise people to rehearse the answers to questions they may be asked. Be positive and prepare more then the next person.
That's good advice. I had the same experience. The mere fact that you prepared a lot takes the nervousness out of you. Because you have repeated the answers and know you will be talking fluently and with ease. That's the most you can do.

wtf does material wealt have to do with any of this. This is about self belief and knowing yourself

sounds kinda weird what you say in the last sentence.
Excellent way to deal with interview stress
Ignore reality, that make a lot of sense how English-speaking women think and talk.

Good point. I didn't think about my long term work experiences and it took some time to answer some questions.

For me its just i do revise the questions and answers. And im confident but when i go into the interview i cut out literally and start shaking
SAME!
Shaking hands 😂 now you have to interview over a video call 📞😕 nervous.. Yip
I have an interview tomorrow hope this helps
I’m sure it will. Good luck
Thank you
Glad
You’re amazing ....❤️
You are too kind
Don, thank you very much for the tips. This is great, great, great! Can you please give me one advice? My native language is Serbian, and I am having an interview, video interview, in English and it is much harder for me. Your videos are great for me. Writing down my answers really makes me more comfortable. Since I'm a non-native speaker should I make it simple or should I use fancy phrases? Is it more important how I sound or what I'm going to say? How to slow down because sometimes I want to say some many things and speak too fast because I don't want to forget it. Naturally I think both Serbian and English while I speak. When I speak more than 10 minutes I am relaxed. Thank you very much!
I got the job!!
Congrats. You are awesome
Great video
many thanks
Watching this 30 minutes before my video editor interview lol
good luck
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks man I feel like I tanked it honestly and the interviewer could tell, but now I know what questions I need to work on since I usually start strong at the beginning with why I want to work for them, its just after that when I start to argue with myself internally about what I should share next
Thank you, sir!
I've been a robot for years and I'm petrified of the next interviews I'll be having, which will be soon. I'm doing a job I never really chose, but ended up doing. Go in, do it, go home, same shit different day, all blurring into one. I'm looking to get my CV together for external jobs as well back in my field of choice, but haven't done that for years and previous job in that area was a shitshow.
stop being a robot and be yourself. I'm sure everyone will prefer that version of you.
@@DonGeorgevich Not very a useful reply! Think about how jobs can affect you! You can become drained and feel like you cannot be yourself, what is yourself now?
0:23 wow , I effed up ....
LOL
hope you do better next time
My next time is tomorrow actually, hopefully it's not like my last interview.
I got laid off Monday and I was bummed out but on Tuesday I received 2 calls that wanted to conduct interviews with me tomorrow is my first interview🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good luck
Watching 30mins before my interview 😬
Best of luck to you my friend
The problem is when the interview is short and fast, when that person doesn't have a time and you can sense that and you can't do much about it. Im a designer and im not very good with the interview thing.
there will always be problems...
@@DonGeorgevich I gave one example of a problem :p
Basically just practice before the interview...
yes.......
Does the interviewer want to see the real you? Or a skilled actor or performer for the role or roles required?
Had a job interview the other day where I think I did very very well however it was one question that I should have been able answer quite easily and my mind went blank. So what do you do in that particular situation?
Me Too
What question was that?
I think this is not 100%, to never ever show any nervousness. Being an older person, with much younger interviewers, much younger bosses, they are often secretly concerned, that I won't take direction, that I will be too bossy. So in SOME cases, showing a little nervousness is good. You are allowing that the interviewer is the boss.
Agreed
I have an interview in less than 2 hours
Me too!
is it ok to take note, and write some answers down on paper and use during the interview? i mean in case the mind goes blank? i don't mean to keep reading on note while answer, just when need
yes indeed.
