Great advice. Calmed my nerves. Had a phone interview that I thought went really well. Quantified my results and connected my experience to how I would drive results in the new role. Interview was set for 30 minutes but ended up being 45. The recruiter and I hit it off but since then no word for 3 weeks. Started doubting and questioning if I actually had a great interview. Called this morning and they told me I was still at the top of their list and they’ve been bogged down hiring on a new manufacturing plant. Thanks for the advice!
Yay Don! Every time I have an interview I come to your Channel and I appreciate the work that you've done thank you you help me win over a few jobs over the many years I've watched you!!!
Don, thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos. As an older person, I have found that the interview game has changed and is not a straightforward as it used to be unfortunately. I have to worry about irrelevant “behavioral” questions and other kinds of techniques that I don’t really recall having to deal with as much in the past, in addition to being an older candidate. I really appreciate the fact that instead of launching into your pitch for your products immediatley, you are willing to just put some free informaiton out there in order to help people. Having looked over many of these types of videos on TH-cam covering this subject matter, this is a big deal. I am broke right now but I have found your free advice to be enormously encouraging and helpful, and I certainly will consider your paid options when funding permits.
Hi Don, this is long overdue but I wanted to take a moment to thank you so very much for all of your videos. I watched them all numerous times and they helped me land a great job. I only had one interview and nailed it. Without your help and guidance I probably would have struggled through the interview process. Thanks again for your wisdom and suggestions.
sometime we study a lot and then they say we are over qualified i always believe that always go with the flow and what they want just give that no additional information required beacuse they have million reasons but i dont have to feel regret and after giving the voice comes from inside that i gave the best.
Don. I am gratiful. You have given your and effort producing this video for free! God bless you and continuous being generous please. Thank you very much.
Point # 2 (never take silence as a sign the employer is not interested in you) depends on the country. I come from the Western part of Europe, and if someone here were to call the company and enquire about the interview they had, they'd IMMEDIATELY get rejected for the job. 100%.
I have (many) customers in Europe and Great Britain who have called employers to inquire and ended up getting the job because they took the initiative. Perhaps you are thinking of time when things were different.
I wokred at a Saw mill once, before I was in a different department. They had Saturday clean up with a small crew of 4 to 7 and that was every three months. Then I bid over into the Saw Mill on plant clean up. We had one more about a month after I got there and after that we never had another one again. The reason was I used the last one as a jump to getting it all clean then I worked on keeping it clean. How I did this was simple, the other plant clean up guys slept from 3 to 5 hours a night because it was a graveyard shift. I simply worked all 8 hours evey night and kept it clean. I saved the company anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000 a year in over time costs. I don't think anyone ever really noticed that from the company office to the workers otherwise they probably would have been pissed as me for cutting into their easy over time. Plan to mention this during the interview tomorrow at noon.
Thankyou Don ,just went for an interview .Wether I get the job or not ,it's the best I ever felt in an interview .By God's help and your advice I was more prepared than ever before .
I'm finding it very hard to find any interview (Q &A) tips for environmental/sciences backgrounds. Don I've been following you for awhile and I really think this would be very helpful i.e. I'm not finding any "job interview resources/programs" that even come close to the types of Q & A, say a DNR or EPA type agency would ask...your tips do help calm the nerves thpugh so very much appreciated.
HI Don, I was told in an panel type interview that their team would be making a decision in a week and a half on who they would be asking to join their team and it has been 2 weeks. I followed up with a thank you the following day after the interview and also send a few references a few days later. I was going to send a follow up email today and just let them know I was still interested and wanting the position. Whether this is a good move or not, in my mind it shows that I am holding them to the verbal commitment on whether I was a candidate they were looking to move forward with and not just to leave it out there with no contact whatsoever. I know usually hiring managers usually do not want to give you bad news and would rather just let things lapse and have the interviewer draw their own conclusions. I like to know, I may feel bad for a few minutes but wondering is more stressful. I believe I have waited the appropriate time to give a follow up but did not want it to seem like an ultimatum. I have several resumes out there and have had more than a few phone interviews and a few face to face as well but this opening was so in line with my background and skill set and is my number one and hope to hear back.
Job interviews are basically ways for you to SELL yourself (selling your time, efforts, experience, commitment etc). What is my evidence for that ? it is absolutely normal to find people, inside or outside ur organization, with qualifications, personality, disciple etc which are lower than yours, but they still managed to climb above your level (position /compensation or both). Great chance that, in normal circumstances, they did a better job selling themselves to others.
Thank you for your words of wisdom regarding this topic of interviewing. It's been a long while for me and I am looking forward to getting out there and selling myself. Your insights, guidance and approach about the interview process is spot on. I am naturally an enthusiastic person and your enthusiasm and passion for what you do is contagious and refreshing. Wish me luck going forward Don. Thanks again.
Time point, is exactly what I faced in my recent job search, call them in a week or two as your needy as they are. Diwali vacation followed by holidays of HOD's. This is an example. They call you just be patient and proactive. Being a fresher I got a job in r&d, permanent position. Be passionate about it.
Absolutely, these recommendations are so relevant. Attitude is attached to character and personality, and proactive and positive people are fundamental for a collaboration environment into the VUCA world. Thanks! for sharing.
Quite helpful informations and I'm grateful to you for your training us online. So kindly send me the most top ten interview questions frequently asked & their correct answers...I look forward to hearing from you soon on the next scheduled tutorial video...Thank you indeed for your concern...
Hello! I have a work interview tomorrow, lm a ortho dental assistant please pray for me, it gonna be all day from 8:00 am to 6:00pm, hopefully it's enought for them and for me to be agree and get the position. Ohh probably l made a mistake in the passed interview, they didnt call me back, and l thought that was because did not like me...so l never call them back, Thanks for you information😍l love my job and what l do.
@ Don Georgevich. In case there is inexperienced candidate appearing in the job interview (e.g:- My Self) how will he quote his past job experiences & the measures taken in achieving the objectives?
Great advice, I have a interview next Wednesday. Can you lease tell me what I should say with these questions. So basically I wasn’t suitable for my last job as my employer said, so I resigned before I went through any formal performance improvement plan. My last day was end of July. So now I don’t have a job. How do I tell them that I don’t have a job and why I left positively? When they tell me ‘Tell me about yourself’, should I mention I left the job?
I have a problem that's not a problem. I went from construction to driving a truck. Then although I made ever mistake you can make in an interview I got a job at the corp headquarters. I am old 62, no college, but the managers and above seem to like me. Do you coach?
Self sabotaged for not getting that job but what if I believe if the other job might be the better option to work so I might have to be enthusiastic for the other
Don. I have been attending job interview since 2017 to date and nothing has materialized. in fact following your video I realized have been going astray! However, sometimes most of the interviewers are jealous of and even compromising their relatives and friends who bribed them. I mean to say real bribery. Some of panel members don't watch out. Any way I apologized for the inconvenient caused. Others are sincere and even honest dealing with and finding an interested and a qualified incumbent
I disagree on the not being able to fake enthusiasm. I did not want 90% of the jobs I had but I faked enthusiasm in all the interviews. One even said I got hired because my enthusiasm showed I really wanted the job. There is also a problem when you say don't take jobs that you really don't want and that is that some people just don't want a job or there is no job that they really want. They would rather being doing something else than having a job but unfortunately for them having a job is not an option. They can't just go somewhere and tell them "you know, none of the jobs interested me" or "I really did not want any of the jobs I saw, now give me money". Not even welfare allows you to do that. Do you expect people to go homeless and starve because they did not really want a job? Will you give them money?How much do you make and what percentage can they take from that?
faking enthusiasm is acting and it's not easy to sustain in a job interview. as a general rule, no, you should not take jobs you don't want. but let's not confuse wants with needs. what you need to do and what you want to do are two separate things.
What if you have disabilities that prevent you from producing the same amount of work that other people can produce, even if you can do them better then the others?
Analise the company as best you can and ascertain how you believe you could help the company help its customers then make that the essence of how you represent yourself at the interview.

I would love to see a video on interviewing for a different industry and how to make things relative enough

@@DonGeorgevich Thank you ! It went pretty well, fingers crossed !
@@DonGeorgevich UPDATE : I got the job !!!! :-)
I've been interviewed for plenty of jobs I was enthusiastic about, and I still didn't get them. How can I prevent losing confidence?
I'm finding it very hard to find any interview (Q &A) tips for environmental/sciences backgrounds.

Hate that all job interviewing tips are based on sales
You can still take the tools and use them in a different field. I am in engineering and I am able to adapt and use these tips ;)
Job interviews are basically ways for you to SELL yourself (selling your time, efforts, experience, commitment etc). What is my evidence for that ? it is absolutely normal to find people, inside or outside ur organization, with qualifications, personality, disciple etc which are lower than yours, but they still managed to climb above your level (position /compensation or both). Great chance that, in normal circumstances, they did a better job selling themselves to others.
I like this guy's style! Great advise.

Can you pls. share some tips for legal jobs? Paralegal, Legal Assistants, Receptionist jobs. "Thank you" Love your videos! 💯
I don’t really have any experience in the legal field

So basically I wasn’t suitable for my last job as my employer said, so I resigned before I went through any formal performance improvement plan. My last day was end of July. So now I don’t have a job.
How do I tell them that I don’t have a job and why I left positively? When they tell me ‘Tell me about yourself’, should I mention I left the job?
Just search around my channel for those answers
I have a problem that's not a problem. I went from construction to driving a truck. Then although I made ever mistake you can make in an interview I got a job at the corp headquarters. I am old 62, no college, but the managers and above seem to like me. Do you coach?

you've been at this for over two years? something is not working for you. try changing up things.

It's easy when you work with numbers, but how do you quanify results with roles like teaching or process auditing, where you don't "make" money?
Thank you Don :)
What do you do when you are more talented and gifted than the hiring manager?
thank you so much
I’m not sure about everybody else but I have been yelled at when contacting them back after a week or two has past.
that should give you some insight what it's like to work for them.
You are great sir but what about freshers?
what about them?
What if you have disabilities that prevent you from producing the same amount of work that other people can produce, even if you can do them better then the others?
Analise the company as best you can and ascertain how you believe you could help the company help its customers then make that the essence of how you represent yourself at the interview.
They forget about you and lost your information 🤣🤣🤣
You’re good ;)
glad you're here.
Any tips for a recent graduate trying to get his foot in the door?
have you searched my channel?
I struggle to be enthusiastic about something I could be getting rejected from 😅

Why do you remind me of the doctor character from ST Voyager? lol. "I am a doctor, not a interview expert!"
i hear it all the time. sometimes I wish i was on Voyager, far from this planet.
What if you are just not an enthusiastic person?
Take some ecstasy before the interview.

glad to help you.
Yea I hope to get job
