Having questions written down made my interview go an extra level. Thank you so much, I got an apprenticeship at a council and your tips were very helpful.
Graham, Can I just express a huge thank you to you for making these videos. I had a job interview yesterday for a graduate role at one of the UK's biggest independent shipping companies, which with help from your videos went superbly! No less than 2 hours after the interview finished I received a phone call with the interviewer presenting me with a job offer. I am ecstatic! Thanks so much, Tom
I have been watching over and over again... thanks a million! That really helped me a lot. It is valued as GOLD, everything you are teaching here. Thanks once again, Graham.
Graham,I have no words to express how thankful I am.Your video helped me to understand my mistakes in my previous interviews and correct it.Believe or not,after preparing myself guided by your videos, I got a job at the first interview I did.Thank you so much.God bless you!!!
I used your channel immensely when preparing for my interview and guess what? I got the job! It's true that it's the best prepared who gets the job. I used the 'killer' question and it worked so well! Thanks a million Graham!!
Your videos are very helpful Graham, so thanks for that. I've applied for a job last week, and was asked to attend the open day at the company today. There were more of us there, and we had to fill in an application, and all got a short interview. As I've done my homework, I knew most of the details and my questions were all answered, so I used the one you recommended in case that happens, and it went down really well! Thanks again
Thank you so much Graham. I have 2 interviews, one has passed (which didn't go well), however I plan to be more prepared for the next one and will take on board what you have said. Thanks again!
Fantastic! I have never heard about bringing notebook. I have a very important second interview next week - after successful telephone one - and will use your brilliant advices. By the way, I succeeded to ask the killing question and I really killed the recruiter :) And I had the second interview. Many thanks, Graham!
I totally agree, if they have already told you their values the 'fail safe' question is redundant. In such a situation, expect a very different style of interview
I have an interview this Friday, all my past interviews have been very short and mostly in the lines of 'do you want this job?' Or 'when can you start?' I really want this job, it's great pay and a good chance to progress and learn. Sadly I get nervous and tend to get stuck, even role playing interview questions with a friend I had moments when I just couldn't speak. I was told that I should get some water and when I feel stuck take a sip and think about what to say. I'm reading material about the company and preparing. Thanks for your clips, I'm defo going to try and get that last question in.
Would reeling a great question off the top of your head as if you had immediately thought of it not look better than pulling out a big hardback binder pad to find one that you had prepared earlier?
Thank you for your tips Graham, I always ask the killer question each time I am invited to interview (Who is your ideal candidate for this role) while I also ask them about any awards that they have received and what they would expect me to achieve in the role if I am successful.
Hi Graham Martin the recruitment guy is the goto guy for starting your first job, writing a polished CV, how to perform at interviews, or for a career change or even go for a position in any field!! I highly recommend his TH-cam videos and his personal 1 to 1 coaching.
Thanks very much...but YES...why not! If you like a job, say so...in a sales career this is VITAL to show you can close...but for admin related roles, say it with a smile & humility! Well done you...Graham
@tzukyme78 Hi there...the covering letter in this instance is crucial. It MUST grab the readers attention, get them to want to know more about you BUT not give the 'game away'. So, it's all about RESEARCH and working out how you can make a positive impact on their business. If you can write to them using a coloured envelope, with a real stamp and hand written, it's agreat start. Your CV must be enclosed on white paper on TWO pages, no fancy boarders or fonts or photos. The cover letter must have
Hi Graham, I am going for an interview on Friday, I was just wondering if having a pad and pen is something that really makes a good impression on the employer? I've not heard this tip before. Great video, very helpful!
@heunggongyan Thanks very much...really appreciate your feedback Are there any ideas/themes you'd like me to cover in future videos? Graham Martin AKA The Recruitment Guy
I have got back from an interview today and I wanted to share what happened with the "killer question". The interview went well and most of my questions had been answered, so I used the killer question last. The interviewer said it was a good question but then started to flap a little saying that all types of people and all age ranges fit here not giving a straight answer. Possibly because this was for a job at a university communications dept :)
@TheRecruitmentGuy Hello again, actually yes, could be possible please, to guide me into how to address the cover letter if I am not sure if the employer is still recruiting. I can not mention the name of the person who gave me the info about the job because I do not have his permission to do so! What do u advise me please. What is the best to formulate the cover letter - the introduction is very important to catch the interest of the recruiter. Thank you once again and look fwd for u'r reply.
I have sent an application yesterday, because the position looked interesting and I think I more than qualify. This morning, I have received an invitation to the interview. That's good, except there's a catch... the interview's tomorrow. It's now 10 PM and I have to be there at 1 PM tomorrow, so I absolutely haven't had enough time to prepare... and to top it off, it'll be my first interview. Well, I have some questions, I am confident in my skills and I believe I can talk about the position, but I didn't have enough time to practice my expression and body movement. Well, however it works out, at least I'll learn from it.
I find your videos very informative and I thank you for your insight. I had a question and I apologize if you have covered this. Is it appropriate to ask the compensation for the position your being interviewed for. If so when should you ask.? Or should you just wait for it upon hiring. I know it sounds rude but to be honest the salary can be a major factor in job selection especially if you have multiple offers.
I'm glad someone thought about the employee finally! Sometimes as employees we give it our best and get the job then when the dust is settled you realized how corrupt and non-rewarding the culture of the organization really is. If some of us had taken the time to probe a little deeper we would have made other decisions.
this is really good advice, not sure if im confident enough to ask that final question. but that is mainly because is got an interview and i personally dont think i have enough experience at different companies but i do know how to do the work. I guess im scared they wont even bother because i havent worked somewher for 6 years
TheRecruitmentGuy it went fantastic! I had a great feeling about the interview. Every question they asked, I had an answer ready. They seemed very happy and I'll get the results next week :)
OK, this is EASY but hard work...write down 50...yes FIFTY questions they could ask you for detailed explanations; then WRITE down a half page of detail broken down into stages/bullet points. This is hard work, but easy to do...should take you a whole day...once you've don't it AND role played with a friend/family member you will be very proficient at structured responses and be able to do it quickly when asked. Good luck Graham The Recruitment Guy
Hey! I love your videos theyre great- just one question: do interviews for internships differ from interviews for convention job roles? If so, how? For example, is there more scope for humour etc?
I think that the questions you suggest be asked of the HR person (who generally doesn't really know) about the company's economic stability or challenges could be construed as lack of research or that I am scouting for the competition especially since I may be currently working with their competition. I perform excellent research on a company using various resources that include current and former employee reviews, publicly available SEC reports on a company, BBB reports, etc. There is very little information that cannot be found on the Internet about companies. So, am I asking these questions just so I have questions to ask? I would instead ask "Is there anything you can tell me about your company that I would not be able to find on the Internet?" Perhaps state what I have read and give them opportunity to correct that research?
Good point. I'd use questions to indicate my communication skills. Yes, the info might well be in the public domain but few of YOUR competing interviewees will do the research YOU will; but I get the point. Then research something about their clients they DON'T know. I do LOVE you last question, genius! Let me know, ok!
Hey it went well but i don't work there anymore because it was commission base job and i had to travel long distance. but I now work for Your Move Estate Agency and used all your tips and really helped. Thanks
Hi Graham, I am gonna have my 2nd round interview with a CEO in a NGO. I will like the question of "what kind of person really fits in the company". I just wonder if it's appropriate to ask this question in a 2nd round interview? Cheers :)
I had an interview the other day and asked the question, "What challenges do you think I would have with the job?" He almost seemed mad at me. It was as if he was going off on me but trying to act civil.
I had that question. I felt it was a hostile question as well. Why would you want to be employed somewhere that you anticipate having a problem at I wondered? I stated that I did not anticipate having a problem but hoped to be a solution to any currently occurring.
That's a bad interviewer. Why would he be mad that you want to know what challenges await you? The way you asked that question it doesn't imply that you think you'll have problems, challenges aren't problems, challenges are the things you'll have to be able to address and perform, like working in a fast paced environment, or having to attend to clients that don't speak your language or be savvy in a complicated computer program. Those aren't problems, they are... well.. challenges..
I asked this question along with a few others at the end of an interview today and the lady interviewing me pulled a face and replied I feel like I'm being interviewed now. she couldn't even answer me the question. not a great impression
hannah spooner Well Hannah, that's true...YOU are interviewing HER. You need to find the right company for YOU and if the interviewer felt uncomfortable then I feel they are not right for you. Today the job seeker NEEDS good responses. Harsh...but straight from my heart! Graham
+TheRecruitmentGuy I totally agree with what Hannah did was right and what Graham is saying. If the interviewer feels undermined or "threatened" by your act of inquiries, it sounds like a red flag that innovators, creative thinkers, curious-to-ambitious employees may not be abundant in the work environment.
Thank you for the video.It really helps me,what question should i ask to interviewer for the hotel job,plus i have interview on coming sunday.would u give me suggestion?
"What sort of person are you looking for?" GREAT QUESTION! What you don't mention are the questions designed to place YOU in the mind of the INTERVIEWER actually IN the position, such as: "When I'm doing the job, what would you expect my typical [day/shift/anything else] to look like?" or "So, who would I be reporting to?" or "How would MY role fit into the structure of the company?"
@tzukyme78 ...then suggest that you will call them on a specfic DAY and TIME. This takes confidence but, will certainly get you noticed. Try to rertain control. Good luck...let me know how it goes. Graham
Thanks very much...really appreciate your feedback Are there any ideas/themes you'd like me to cover in future videos? Graham Martin AKA The Recruitment Guy
@woohoolaura Hi there. Firstly I would say that there are some things that you can probably find out in advance, by asking around, checking the web/facebook etc PLUS common sense of course. However, I would strongly suggest that by asking this simple question "What kind of person fits in best here?" the employer has the chance to reflect upon the answer and give you the opportunity to grasp on a couple of areas and then explain how you match their specific requirements. But be careful! Good luck
@juliane1mota Hi Juliane..I'm thrilled that you were successful at interview! Well done. Where are you located? Which City? What kind of job too? Fabulous news...good luck to you.
thanks so much for sharing your advice and thoughts. I was wondering what your thoughts on ... if the interviewer says they are running short on time. I said that he covered all of my questions but I did have 1 more so I followed up in an email with the question... What do you think ?
Hi Sarah. Tough one, I'd be more inclined to follow up with a 'thank you' email. Explain why you want to work there, what you can do to assist them and make special reference to one particular thing s/he said. OK? Good luck Graham
I think a good question to ask them is ' what were the problems you faced when starting at this bussines (or company) and how did you overcome them etc
Dear Martin, Thanks to have this video. Well, I have faced an interview soon and asked the same 'do you have any question', I replied 'I have few but did a little research about the company and the people here and others, so not at this time', he asked again after another discussion and I replied ' as I already informed you Sir, I did a small research about this company and the people through its website and I also came to know about you through linkedin that you have graduated from X University and your background is Mechanical Engineering' he replied with laugh and said oh yes its a long back you know. Then he end and I ended up to say ' Thank you so very much for your valuable time and please keep blessings to me Sir'... your advice please ....
@tzukyme78 ...must relevance. Write to them to say that although you know that you are writing in an unsolicited way, you have done some research and that your know that their business is in the XXX sector, supplying XXX customers and that it has XXX roles within it. You then explain how YOUR previous is REALLY relevant to their business or a specific ROLE because you achieved XXX in your previous role/co or have XXX skills/education that will help then achieve XXX !Make it all about them.Then..
Hi Lloyd...send me what you have and I'll have a look for you...help at the recruitment guy dot com....ok? If it needs significant work then there may be a charge...but let's see how we get on to start with, ok! Graham
Great question...do NOT discuss money UNLESS it's a sales job with commission...then it is vital...otherwise wait for the interviewer to raise the issue, OK?
The interviewer will invariably be very wrapped up in "What's in it for the company IF I employ YOU?" so NEVER ask "What's in it for ME?" questions. Those are for the discussion AFTER you've been offered the job. If you don't like the answers then you can negotiate or walk away. You can't do that if you haven't been offered the position! Your entire interview plan MUST be about why they must choose YOU. Once they have made the decision to employ you THEN you have a little bargaining power.
Having questions written down made my interview go an extra level. Thank you so much, I got an apprenticeship at a council and your tips were very helpful.
Graham,
Can I just express a huge thank you to you for making these videos.
I had a job interview yesterday for a graduate role at one of the UK's biggest independent shipping companies, which with help from your videos went superbly!

I watched these videos before my interview on Wednesday and I got the job!! Thank you these tips are great :)
"What kind of person really fits in here?" is a really killer question. I am so happy I went thru you vidoes before my interview. Thanks a million.
I used your channel immensely when preparing for my interview and guess what? I got the job! It's true that it's the best prepared who gets the job. I used the 'killer' question and it worked so well! Thanks a million Graham!!
Brandon Hawksley Hey Brandon, thrilled for you. Which City are you in? Graham
TheRecruitmentGuy Thanks again Graham. I'm based close to London!
Your videos are very helpful Graham, so thanks for that. I've applied for a job last week, and was asked to attend the open day at the company today. There were more of us there, and we had to fill in an application, and all got a short interview. As I've done my homework, I knew most of the details and my questions were all answered, so I used the one you recommended in case that happens, and it went down really well! Thanks again
Yes, I think this is a very valid variation.Thanks for a great comment...
I have an interview in 2 days and I plan on asking that last question you put!!! Can't wait to see how the interviewer responds!
You are most welcome, thanks for the positive feedback...
@CDBEX Yes, the pad & pen REALLY helps! Good luck. Let me know how it goes. Graham
Thank you so much Graham. I have 2 interviews, one has passed (which didn't go well), however I plan to be more prepared for the next one and will take on board what you have said. Thanks again!
Thank you so much much Graham. I have an interview tomorrow and there's so much that am learning from your videos
Fantastic! I have never heard about bringing notebook. I have a very important second interview next week - after successful telephone one - and will use your brilliant advices. By the way, I succeeded to ask the killing question and I really killed the recruiter :) And I had the second interview. Many thanks, Graham!
Hi Tom, thanks so much, these stories are why l 'do' this stuff...thrilled for you. Good luck
OK, ask about busy times, profile of clientelle, style of food, training, number of covers, staff levels etc
Good question...plus ask about the budget changes too
I totally agree, if they have already told you their values the 'fail safe' question is redundant. In such a situation, expect a very different style of interview
I have an interview this Friday, all my past interviews have been very short and mostly in the lines of 'do you want this job?' Or 'when can you start?' I really want this job, it's great pay and a good chance to progress and learn. Sadly I get nervous and tend to get stuck, even role playing interview questions with a friend I had moments when I just couldn't speak.

Would reeling a great question off the top of your head as if you had immediately thought of it not look better than pulling out a big hardback binder pad to find one that you had prepared earlier?
Yes, it is. I had a bad accident playing squash when I was younger AND it is lop sided. Hasn't held me back tho'...
Thank you for your tips Graham, I always ask the killer question each time I am invited to interview (Who is your ideal candidate for this role) while I also ask them about any awards that they have received and what they would expect me to achieve in the role if I am successful.
Perfect Robert, good stuff
Yes, I got fed up saying the same old stuff again & again..so now's it's there for ALL to see! Plus I wanted to record something for my kids too...!

Hi Graham, I am going for an interview on Friday, I was just wondering if having a pad and pen is something that really makes a good impression on the employer? I've not heard this tip before. Great video, very helpful!
Yes, maybe it was...most 'commercial ' employers understand what the question actually means...the focus is not on age etc BUT personality TYPE
@tzukyme78 Hi there. Glad you like them; any thing more specific you need to know? Just ask...good luck.
Thanks for all the tips, interview tomorrow.

Graham do you have any tips for succeeding at telephone interview and how do they differ from face to face?
I have got back from an interview today and I wanted to share what happened with the "killer question".

The interviewer said it was a good question but then started to flap a little saying that all types of people and all age ranges fit here not giving a straight answer.

Would all of these things be appropriate to ask for a ten to twelve dollar an hour security guard job?
Yes, why not...BUT make the question VERY relevant to the role, ok
How can I break the question about wage ?
I'm glad someone thought about the employee finally! Sometimes as employees we give it our best and get the job then when the dust is settled you realized how corrupt and non-rewarding the culture of the organization really is.

cool well you do a nice job at it. good to help people with finding work
Great job...you gave some good tips thanks

how did it go?
I'm nervous about my interview on Monday at Vodafone!
Thanks as always Graham
Thank you. I used that Killer Question...Hopefully it works...
Hi Graham, I am gonna have my 2nd round interview with a CEO in a NGO. I will like the question of "what kind of person really fits in the company". I just wonder if it's appropriate to ask this question in a 2nd round interview? Cheers :)
I had an interview the other day and asked the question, "What challenges do you think I would have with the job?" He almost seemed mad at me. It was as if he was going off on me but trying to act civil.
Did you get the job mate? I have an interview at 4PM today haha
I had that question. I felt it was a hostile question as well. Why would you want to be employed somewhere that you anticipate having a problem at I wondered? I stated that I did not anticipate having a problem but hoped to be a solution to any currently occurring.
That's a bad interviewer. Why would he be mad that you want to know what challenges await you?

+TheRecruitmentGuy I totally agree with what Hannah did was right and what Graham is saying. If the interviewer feels undermined or "threatened" by your act of inquiries, it sounds like a red flag that innovators, creative thinkers, curious-to-ambitious employees may not be abundant in the work environment.
Hi Graham, do you have any advice on questions to ask the interviewer for someone joining the police force?
thank you
Thank you for the video.It really helps me,what question should i ask to interviewer for the hotel job,plus i have interview on coming sunday.would u give me suggestion?
"What sort of person are you looking for?" GREAT QUESTION! What you don't mention are the questions designed to place YOU in the mind of the INTERVIEWER actually IN the position, such as: "When I'm doing the job, what would you expect my typical [day/shift/anything else] to look like?" or "So, who would I be reporting to?" or "How would MY role fit into the structure of the company?"
@tzukyme78 ...then suggest that you will call them on a specfic DAY and TIME. This takes confidence but, will certainly get you noticed. Try to rertain control. Good luck...let me know how it goes. Graham
Best stuff I can find on the internet
Joe Thomas Thanks Joe
Good advice.
Well, you could...but I'd just nod, smile and make yey contact...maybe say " Yes, I can see THAT'S very important " etc

@woohoolaura Hi there. Firstly I would say that there are some things that you can probably find out in advance, by asking around, checking the web/facebook etc PLUS common sense of course. However, I would strongly suggest that by asking this simple question "What kind of person fits in best here?" the employer has the chance to reflect upon the answer and give you the opportunity to grasp on a couple of areas and then explain how you match their specific requirements. But be careful! Good luck

Sorry for the delay...just ask nicely! Simple really
Is it appropriate to ask about demographics of the customers? As in age, ethnic background, etc.?
I think a good question to ask them is ' what were the problems you faced when starting at this bussines (or company) and how did you overcome them etc
fantastic video..invaluable..
Oh please!
i love this guy!
got my first interview Tuesday and i am extremely nervous
prepare in advance, role play, breathe...try to relax
thank you
thank
Dear Martin,
Thanks to have this video.
Well, I have faced an interview soon and asked the same 'do you have any question', I replied 'I have few but did a little research about the company and the people
here and others, so not at this time', he asked again after another
discussion and I replied ' as I already informed you Sir, I did a small
research about this company and the people through its website and I
also came to know about you through linkedin that you have graduated
from X University and your background is Mechanical Engineering' he
replied with laugh and said oh yes its a long back you know.
Then he end and I ended up to say ' Thank you so very much for your valuable time and
please keep blessings to me Sir'... your advice please ....
do you give this advice because you want to help people?
Very Informative Video
why asking question is good ? we all do lots of research on a company before we go for interview , we choose it because we know it !
@TheReal_Angell why would you want to know any of that? How is that supposed to be important to you?

Write to them to say that although you know that you are writing in an unsolicited way, you have done some research and that your know that their business is in the XXX sector, supplying XXX customers and that it has XXX roles within it. You then explain how YOUR previous is REALLY relevant to their business or a specific ROLE because you achieved XXX in your previous role/co or have XXX skills/education that will help then achieve XXX !Make it all about them.Then..
Ah, yes...my catch phrase///"saying goodbye"!

Hi Lloyd...send me what you have and I'll have a look for you...help at the recruitment guy dot com....ok? If it needs significant work then there may be a charge...but let's see how we get on to start with, ok! Graham
Ah, yes I see...so ask" how do YOU think I'd fit in?" or " Do you have any reservations about me?"
excellent, but if possible to speak softly?
lol I've asked that before, and I got the job!
sayin goodbye!

Great question...do NOT discuss money UNLESS it's a sales job with commission...then it is vital...otherwise wait for the interviewer to raise the issue, OK?
The interviewer will invariably be very wrapped up in "What's in it for the company IF I employ YOU?" so NEVER ask "What's in it for ME?" questions. Those are for the discussion AFTER you've been offered the job. If you don't like the answers then you can negotiate or walk away. You can't do that if you haven't been offered the position!
Your entire interview plan MUST be about why they must choose YOU. Once they have made the decision to employ you THEN you have a little bargaining power.
