Hey Everyone, thanks to all the folks who attended the live session. I had such a great time teach you how to prepare for a job interview. I hope it helped. Let me know what questions you have related to your job interviews or job search or career in general. I'm happy to help!!
Andrew LaCivita Andrew, I feel I could use some help. I just graduated mechanical engineering bachelors and I'm trying to get a job. My linked in is @gauve. I broke linked in iterating my profile to what I thought was perfect and was blocked for 6 hours. I have applied to plenty of LinkedIn jobs but haven't gotten any offers back. 😢 Can I get some help.
Andrew LaCivita hi andy, you've got great contents here. Have a question for you.. i am intending to shift my career from project management (Mngmt role) to software dev. And i can say I am new to software dev and i would be as good as rank and file. What is your recommendation when they ask un the interview about my expected salary? My old role actually pays higher than this one im shifting in to. Thanks much and more power to your channel. 😊

Wow, if I were told in an interview I was too old, I'd prolly get up from my chair, politely say "I think we're done, I really appreciate your time & blah blah blah" as I stood up and shook their hands and wished them well in filling the position....and get the heck outta there! I mean why stay, it's pretty much over for me at that point! I'd NEVER want to work for a company like that! As always Andy, another GREAT video! And on to my next Andy video!
Andrew, thanks to your TH-cam videos I wrote an ultimate resume, got noticed, had the interview and just got hired with a significant raise one step above my current title. You’re an excellent teacher and mentor. I’ve learned so much from your success. Thank you so much! God bless.
Samuel, that is awesome! I can't thank you enough for sharing that with me. I always love to hear from people and it's especially nice when I hear success stories like yours. It keeps me going to make sure I continue to put out helpful material!
Andy!!! Got my dream job as a UX Researcher with an amazing company. Your advice helped! Your advice absolutely made that difference! I honestly do not know how to say thanks. Im thinking of sending you sonething from Scotland. I'll email you shortly, but i did publicly want to thank you for the right kind of advice and practical actionable instructions that were easily digested AND well thought through. From the bottom of my heart, genuinely, thank you. If you ever visit Scotland give us a shout!
Steve! Love to hear this my friend. I am so so glad you got a job you love! There's absolutely no need to send me anything. If you'd like to do something nice for me, pay it forward and help someone else by sharing whatever you have to offer. You can also refer them to me in my TH-cam channel and the Milewalk Academy!
@@andylacivita a true gentleman! I'll be passing on your details to a job interview meetup group based here across central Scotland. Thanks Andrew. I'll revisit your channel/program ahead of promotion 😃 #everythings connected
Well Mr. LaCivita....I watched soooo many of your video's...took notes and followed your guidance and I'm pleased to tell you I accepted a job offer today :-) Your 5 questions to ask the employer has been throwing some of the interviewers a real loop...making some squirm, but ultimately helped me determine who to say 'yes' to. Thank you for everything- you are an awesome person and I wish you so much success! I will definitely send anyone I know seeking a new job to your youtube and website!! God Bless you!!
Hi Andrew. I have lost the count how many times I watched your videos over and over again and everytime I enjoy them as much as the first time. I don't know whether you have a audio podcast of your videos or not but I would enjoy to listen them during my commute to work and back. It would also be great if you could divide the audio files to a shorter files based on the topic discussed during live hours so that listeners could listen to topics they are most interested in.
I have an audio podcast Aydin. Check out Tips for Work and Life. You can get it anywhere. The audio from the video in some of them are clipped out and shorter. :) You can also do what I do and listen to them on youtube in your car!
Hi, Andrew, splendid video as usual! May I request you to please prepare a video on the following- 1) "Why do you want to leave your current job? " 2) How to tackle case study based questions in the interview (for eg. Tell me the number of flights which take off from an airport everyday)
Still with me buddy. We'll get you that job! BTW, starting Thursday February 8th, I'll be live every week (on Thursdays). Hopefully, you're already on my email list. If not, download something and join!!!
Sweet. I realize finding a job can be a painful process, but let's make this as fun as possible for you and more importantly a very valuable learning experience you can use for the rest of your life!
Thank you Andrew for your kind words and support. You have been far more helpful to me than the expensive outplacement firm that provided me with brief job search help paid for by my ex-employer!
One point I would like to add to “the number of open positions compared to the number of employees a company had last year” is what my employer is doing- for every full-time worker who leaves or retires, two part-time positions open up. They want to save money by not paying for vacation, sick time, and insurance benefits. Unfortunately it is a growing trend in America.
I saw your webinar and would like to download your magazine style booklet. I think I also bought the interview questions book. Please send me the link to download. Thanks.
Hi Asha, can you do me a favor and send me an email to support(at)milewalk.com using the same email address you used to register for the webinar? Then I'll be happy to reply directly from there!
Hi Asha, yes, my webinars are recorded and you are given an option for a replay [usually within a specific period of time]. We also, for some of them, send follow up emails with the replay link!
About your point on bringing resumes in … I have a zoom interview with a state agency and it’s a panel of 5. Do you think they’ve reviewed my resume for the interview?
Andy, if I have an interview over lunch or coffee, do I still need to wear a full suit and tie to the interview? Or should I qualify business casual with the interview?
Hi Andrew. Your channel is great and resourceful. I have a question. What is the right answer when you already have a job and you are in an interview for a company you have always wanted to work for and you are being asked..."Why would you leave your current job ?"
Do you have a video show how to answer questions in a one way interview? Since your not talking to a live person & your not getting in- put how to best answer thoes quwstions?
Andrew, you are amazing. I am happy that I found your videos. I have applied to many positions and I got only one interview which will be on January. Do you have any advice for me? Is it possible to get hired with one interview only?
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words and lots of luck on the interview! There certainly is a possibility of getting hired in one interview, but I would be a little more concerned if you didn't have ample time to investigate the company. The more opportunities you have to investigate it, the better the decision you can make. Regarding additional insight, check out my entire job interview playlist on the youtube channel!!!
Hi Andrew thanks for such an informative session. I have an interview coming in 2 days for a trainee position. I know for sure that they will ask me a particular question because they ask it to all interviewees. The question is: Are you willing to work for the company for the next 2 years at least? This company is my dream company but I cant come up with an answer that holds credibility. I am thinking I'll tell them that if they think it is necessary I am ready to enter into a 2 year contract. Do you think it will work? Please advice!!
Hello andrew sir love from India 💙 sir i have been watching your videos but im rather confused about one thing sir im in college and im going to apply for a job post which is highly famous among the tier 3 college students like us and i really want that job, Sir problem is that i have to upload my resume on the company portal..my seniors advised me to make a simple black and white resume but on youtube its saying i should use some template of canva...sir please advise me how the resume template should look like which gonna catch the interviewer eye.. please sir help me 😵
I appreciate the videos, but one thing that is getting to me a bit is that the sync of your voice and your lips is off. If someone typed the closed captions for you then that's off. Another thing specific about it too, is I notice yo take a sip of some liquid in that mug but the sound of that is way off. Just a tip I wanted to add. Content is nice, but it is something I don't find in many videos that does bug me.
Thanks for the informatic video. I can guess what the company feels like. Employment is entry level, even without any exp. Based on Review sites: 1 year contract employment, with renewal depending on performance. It has 2 offices, one office and one warehouse.
Andrew, I feel I could use some help. I just graduated mechanical engineering bachelors and I'm trying to get a job. My linked in is @gauve. I broke linked in iterating my profile to what I thought was perfect and was blocked for 6 hours. I have applied to plenty of LinkedIn jobs but haven't gotten any offers back. 😢
On your last point are you saying that you should tell the interviewer in advance that you won't be able to dress as instructed (for whatever reason)....?? (I really couldn't understand you) If that's what you said... that seems like a weird and awkward thing to do/say.

Hello, how to response question: how to manage a person with difficult personality?
About your point on bringing resumes in … I have a zoom interview with a state agency and it’s a panel of 5. Do you think they’ve reviewed my resume for the interview?
I’m not sure but I would have it ready just in case. You can upload in the chat if need be! Good luck!!
Andy, if I have an interview over lunch or coffee, do I still need to wear a full suit and tie to the interview? Or should I qualify business casual with the interview?
Unless they say otherwise, go in full business attire. Be sharp. :)
