I had to come on here and TESTIFY!!! This video helped me to ROCK my recent job interview. They asked me pretty much all of these questions. I practiced answering these questions before my interview. They called me back 10 mins after my interview and OFFERED ME THE JOB!! They said they were VERY IMPRESSED! So THANK YOU!!!! Life changing!!
Madeline!!!!!!!!!! I just got the job offer after I studied your videos nonstop for 3 months!!! I negotiated my salary and got it from $45K to $52.5K!!!!!!! I am thrilled and I could not have done it without you. You're impacting so many lives and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm crying. Please don't stop. Y'all better listen to this lady!!!! Love from Texas.
I have my 3rd interview with a company in 15 minutes and here I am taking notes. I have watched your other videos and I'm confident they are part of the reason why I'm being considered for this EDIT GOT THE JOB!!! BLESS THIS WOMAN AND HER WONDERFUL CHANNEL!!!!!!
I’m just here to thank you for this amazing content! After 5 weeks of interviews I landed 2 offers in a field that I had no prior experience in. Each of my interviewers was extremely impressed with my interviewing skills. I didn’t have to even negotiate my salary because my confidence in the interviews landed my compensation offer at the top of the entrance scale which was more than I had hoped for! This content is GOLD!!!
I watched your videos the night before my interview, and I got the job. I just turned 40, I’ve been a stay at home mom for 16 years. To say I’m rusty is an understatement. Your videos helped me so much. I told “stories” and I asked a lot of questions at the end and the conversation just kept going and I think that sealed the deal for me. Thank you so much.
I had an interview last Wednesday and did amazing. On Friday, they offered me the job and it's everything I prayed for!!🥳 Your tips are undeniably helpful!! You are awesome
I couldn’t wait to come back here and say this but I LANDED THE JOB! Your tips in this video along with all the content you post helps so many of us jobseekers! Thank you for all you do, and for anyone on the job search, don’t give up, believe in yourself and trust Gods timing in every circumstance! ❤️
Another Testimony here all the way from South Africa.. i landed my dream job today with the help of the Lord guiding me to this beautiful lady's channel. It's been amazing learning from you Ms Mann. Thank you for doing these videos and long live!!!✊✊✊
The reason why your videos are among the BEST in preparing for job interviews is b/c you actually SHOW US EXAMPLES. So many people on TH-cam and otherwhere just throw tips and rules at you without really providing context or examples. By you giving us tools -- then showing you use them in practice -- is much more "real world" helpful. It is INVALUABLE. Thank you for doing this - and not just throwing more rules at us. We need to see things in action. Excellent videos!
@aggelikip.664 maybe it's not a lot for _you_ but when you have dues, bills and loans that need to be paid off, 5 months can make the difference between wealth and poverty
I lost my job of 13 years in early Aug. I had two interviews with two different companies, I got an offer from both. Your videos really helped me prepare, I was so nervous after not doing an interview in 13 years. I was thrown some curve balls in one of the interviews but just doing some prep work made it so much easier to respond effectively. Thanks so much for the content!
I was scheduled for a virtual interview last Monday. Over the weekend, I watched your videos and drafted my answers to some interview questions taking into consideration the tips you shared. This allowed me to gain my self-confidence during the interview. I also prepared a thank you email a few hours after my interview. Come Wednesday morning, I received an email instructing me to indicate my references in a Reference Checking Form they sent. They called my 2 references from previous employment. On Thursday afternoon, The Peoples and Culture Advisor phoned me to inform me that I was the one chosen for the role. They sent me the formal offer and accepted it. Thank you so much Madeline! On March 1, I will start my new role.
I LITERALLY have an interview in a few hours. Making pancakes for my daughter while listening to this video before I head out. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Madeline, After many months of job hunting and countless interviews, I have finally received an offer for a Mechanical Engineer role thanks to your videos. There are a lot of personal development and job hunting help channels on TH-cam, but you provide real world examples and experiences that are so valuable. Thank you so much for your videos and I'm glad I took the time to watch them. Results!!!
I have NEVER commented on TH-cam before....but I just landed a dream job when I felt like a serious underdog with most likely less formal education in the field than the other candidates. Thank you so much for this content! I am recommending it to friends. It really gave me the confidence boost to wow them in my interview. 🥰
Madeline thank you soo much for your tips! I watched all of your videos and implemented your advice into my interviews. Today I was officially hired as an HR coordinator for a startup. I have 0 experience in HR and am transitioning from a career in healthcare to HR. I think your advice really helped make me shine thank you 💓
I had an interview in Manhattan yesterday and came across your channel while riding the train up. Your advice to remember that I was already qualified for the job definitely lowered my anxiety so I was able to relax and just be myself. I ended up having the most casual exchange with the owner of the company and was hired on the spot! Thanks for the confidence booster that I needed to be able to express myself without fear of criticism. Your advice was invaluable!🔥🙏🏾🔥
After prepping for an interview with this, I landed the job. THEN I got approached by my dream company and landed THAT job with the same prep. Thank you❤
I had a dream last night that I was interviewing, using Madeline’s tips and techniques, for a entry level sales position, and the interviewer hired me as their next CEO🙂
I had to come back and comment because I promised myself after five days of preparing with your videos.. two interviews, and a week of waiting… writing notes and practicing out loud.. I got my first ever entry level job and will making more than I’ve ever made before and getting out of a mailroom job/environment where the most I got paid was 13 dollars an hour. Thank you for your videos and the work, and advice you put into them.
I'm not going to lie I'd been job-hunting for a year, trying every trick under the sun. I watched and implemented the tips in this video and landed my job! I've watched a lot of interview help videos and this is by far the best one! Thank you for making this and changing people's lives!
Being called a glorious qualified starfish was exactly what I needed to hear today. I am interviewing at a pharmaceutical company at 3:30 and I needed this confidence boost!
Madeline, I found you about 10 days ago. I watched a few videos. On Thursday, I had my online interview. On Friday I got a job offer! Thanks so much. Your 10 most asked questions was the most helpful. You are very insightful and wise. Thank you.
This is my first time commenting on a video and I feel that it is so much appropriate for me to do so. I came across your channel while preparing for an interview for my dream job/company. I would say at least 6 of the questions here were asked during the interview. 2 days after I finally received an offer letter after almost 6 months of being unemployed. Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge and making this kind of content. ❤️ For jobseekers: If you didn’t land the job; it’s not meant for you. Keep your head high and keep on applying, the right job will eventually find its way to you.
Tip: for the “what’s your weakness” question be sure to offer a weakness that is not directly needed in the job. Like if you need to be very organized in the job don’t say that as a weakness. Most people have several weaknesses, offer something that is not directly needed in the job you are applying for (even if you’re saying it’s something you’ve overcome or you’re working on now). You don’t want to offer up a reason not to hire you. Also be sure to watch your facial expressions - you may be super passionate and or just thinking 💭 but you don’t want to come off as angry or frowning (smile every once in a while haha) Much 💖.
I like this answer 😊a good alternative would be to say a 'fake weakness'. Something that you can twist around to be a good thing for you and/or the company you're applying to. An example for me, a designer, would be something like "my weakness is being a 'perfectionist' " for example. Then I'd talk about how I tend to be detail-oriented to a fault, but then go on to mention that "any delays caused by this 'weakness' happened early on in my career, I've continued to work on it and haven't had any problems with shipping deliverables on time in recent years". Something like that lol
Dear Madeline, YOU ROCK! You just helped me land the best job! Leaving retail behind and starting as an Optometry Patient Care Coordinator. I studied this video and tried not to gasp when they asked me 3 out the top 10 questions in the initial Zoom interview- including describe yourself in 3 words! I prepped my story toolbox, wrote out my "tell me about yourself," and showed enthusiam, then sent a thank you note. This was followed by a 3 hour in person interview! I hadn't interviewed like that in years! I'm no Millenial, but seriously THANK you (to tears) for sharing this and so many tips!
I’m here to testify. I landed my DREAM JOB. I just got my written offer today. I’m so thankful for you spreading your tips and tricks! If anyone is nervous or doubtful, don’t be. Madeline has got you!!
Everyone, I highly recommend you take notes while listening to her. I took notes while watching videos by Cass and Self Made Millennial when prepping for my interviews. Doing that and praying a lot helped me land a job with a significantly high pay raise. Madeline - thank you so much!
I have been following you and referring your YT channel to others for awhile now. Then a job opportunity fell into my lap at the company where I currently work. I literally re-watched several of your vids on interviewing tips; questions to ask in an interview; how to answer the hard questions; questions that are always asked in an interview, the thank you letter and negotiation tips. I KILLED IT!!!!! My interview was on a Thursday morning, by Friday morning, I got an offer. The offer was wonderful, but I still negotiated it!!! I was terrified! But, you know what, they gave me what I asked for. (mic drop, boss babe stance) THANK YOU!!!! More money than I ever thought I could make. All because I followed your advice in these videos to the letter. Don't stop what you're doing. You are literally, changing lives. I applaud you!!!!!
This is my testimony, And my interviewer asked me to tell me about myself. I had watched this video and framed my answer, let me tell you I actually nailed the interview and got the job. Thank you
Hi Madeline, I got job!!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful techniques. I'm sure I could've done better, but the company who extended the offer were very impressed. I'm very happy and sending positive energies to those who are still in the job market!
After getting rejected by a bank I applied at, I watched a lot of your videos and was given another opportunity at interviewing for another branch whilst interviewing for another position I wasn’t really qualified for at a different company. I was hired on the spot for one, and just received a call from the “redemption interview” at the bank and was made an offer, although I declined the bank’s offer, it feels really good knowing that the skills I’ve learned in your videos shined through into the actual interview process and everything after that. THANK YOU!!!!!
5 of these questions showed up in my most recent interview. 7 total showed up in the 3 interviews. This is an awesome resource and I landed my dream Job.
Madeline!!!!! THIS! This was the BEST 20 minutes I could have ever spent preparing for my interviews! While I am still in the thick of interviewing, I have completed the process with three companies, and received offers from ALL THREE! File this in your "For What it's Worth" file, but practice, practice, practice these techniques and write that storyboard! It matters! Thank you so much Madeline! You are the Queen Bee of Exceptional Interview Advice!
I had to come here and drop my testimony. I had a job interview invitation and after watching so many videos, I found your channel on the morning of the interview. Two more interviews later and I now have a job offer. Your videos were so helpful and I feel like I wouldn't have gotten it without finding your channel. Thank you so much for creating these videos.
with over 20 years experience doing interviews, I learned a lot of these techniques through trial and error. She is spot on and I can't express this enough! And I really like her chair in the video. Way to to go and keep up the great work.
I passed my initial interview for a Retail Manager role and I immediately received a positive feedback! I used one of the questions "COVID Edition" you posted on Tiktok and I felt that I left an impact for the interviewer. Next week I'm on to my next phase of interview and a test. So grateful to have found your account 🙏. You're genius!
Great summary of videos Madeline. Got two calls yesterday to set up interviews for next week, after I got up off the floor (nothing in the last 5 months, 👻) this is perfect timing. Thanks!
I’ve had the same job for just shy of 13 years. I looked to your videos religiously when I started looking for another job. Not much more than a few weeks of putting my resume out there, one (well two- initial interview, then all staff interview) interview and bingo! I got the job! Thanks to you!! 😃
Thank you so much!! I got hired as a support worked and half way through the interview they actually switched to manager interview without telling me. 3 weeks into the job, they promoted me to manager!! This video was amazing in helping me prepare to show my best side 😊 Praise God!!
She’s truly the best! I watched all of her videos and crushed my interviews and got the job. I went through six interviews and a presentation with my company and received rave reviews about my interviews in the interviews! Thank you!!
Madeline!! I’ve been in the interview process for a huge job opportunity with a bank and what I did to prepare was watch ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND I GOT IT!!!
10000000% recommend following this video and coming up with answers for your interview! I had my first ever corporate level interview for a role I had no prior direct experience in and I was FILLED with anxiety for the days leading up. I binged all these videos and practiced answering the questions out loud to myself in the mirror. My interview went amazing and I feel so good about it! They even expedited the 3rd round interview for me to do the same day! Fingers crossed to landing the job, I should know within a couple of days! Follow these tips!!
I just signed a job offer today!!! Thank you very much for all your tips!!! While I was very nervous during my first interview, I nailed my final interview after practicing while watching your videos. I gained the knowledge and confidence for interviews that I never had before. Thank you Madeline! ❤
I just got off a call with a recruiter and want to say that this video helped me to come up with the answers to the recruiter's questions. Good content!!!
Since I’ve preached about your videos to others, I have to come back and give my real testimonial to the source. I’ll keep it short but from the bottom of my heart, your videos have allowed me to make moves in my career, to a new industry completely, at a fortune 200 company, in talent acquisition (with no job specific experience), at a salary I would never have imagined in comparison to my past. You’ve made a change in my life that I’ll never forget and intend on showing your content to others for as long as it’s your on the internet. Again, thank you so much and wifi high five! :)
Madeline, thank you so much for these videos! I just signed a contract for a job with a company I had been trying to work with for a year a half and it was all thanks to your advice in these videos! Thank you thank you! 💓
Thank you, I used your advice to prepare for a job interview and no matter what happen I feel as a winner already. Great advice and amazing energy you have.
I've been out of work since March 2020 due to COVID-19. I decided to teach myself web design and go into a completely different career. I watched your videos religiously over the last couple of days! I had my interview today and I destroyed it! I got the job. Thank you so much for your wonderful content!
I’m currently job hunting and I am SO glad to have come across your videos. Your energy is amazing and your videos are not only super useful and detailed but actually fun to watch! Thank you so much ❤️
Madeline! THANK YOU!!! Your interview tips made ALL the difference. Praying God blesses you tremendously for all the work you do. I'm just SO SO grateful!!
I was getting ready for interviewing for a third position with a company (the first two I made it to finalist but didn't "lock it down") and I knew I had to do something different. I watched your videos and this last interview felt completely different! They offered me the job and were super excited to do so! I truly believe videos like this one and your tips on how to answer "tell me about yourself" and other questions like that made the difference! Thank you!
I Got the Job!!! Your videos gave me so much confidence even though the question were different I was able to pull from what I had in my toolbox. What sealed the deal was the questions I asked back it really threw them off and they engaged more with me. I followed with an thank you email. I got the job over internal employees!!!!
Thank you SOO much Madeline! I discovered your series of videos because I needed to prepare for my very first zoom interview. I recently left my career as a customer service manager in a casino, and took a job at a warehouse due to stress. I have spent the last 7 months struggling with applying for jobs because I was so anxious about my experience and the interview process. I was able to land my first interview with the referral of a college friend. I played your videos on loop, took notes and practiced. This lead to the best interview I ever had. I was way over prepared which made me feel fantastic. I had so much material to work with after following your formula and examples. I got the job!! I am so excited about a new career in the hospitality industry for steam boat River cruises 👍🏽👍🏽
TESTIFYING!!! Took notes from her & got the job!! I’ve only ever been to two interviews in my life (im in my mid 20s) I was recently successful in getting a job interview and took notes from her videos I watched a handful of her videos the night before my interview - I would not recommend this as it’s best to prepare as many “STORIES” in your toolbox as you can Great videos!!! Keep it up
Perfect timing; I was contacted for a next day phone interview yesterday, so I am trying to learn ALL the interview things!! Thanks so much for all your amazing videos, Madeline! Your channel has been a godsend as a new grad looking for work.
@@Steve-lh6ww In that case, I'd recommend using examples from your studies. For example, if someone asks about your time management skills, you can mention how you successfully juggled multiple deadlines by [method: listing out deadlines, then prioritising them based on drawing out timelines of how long/ detailed each one will take]. Does that make sense?
Words can’t even Describe how grateful I am that I came across this channel. God bless your heart and your energy for wanting to help people. I had interview with a bank and I didn’t feel the need to get prepared for it because someone had recommended me to that job. Well it didn’t go as planned so I had two more interviews with the same institution and I didn’t land a second interview. I applied at a different institution for a better position , I re-watched all your videos and used all your advice and tips and I got the job. Thank you so much 🙏🏽. Continue to do what you do . You’re making a difference in this world 🌎
I come forth to testify…. self Made Millennial has brought tons of success in my job interviews. She is able to break everything down to detail on what to say. I have succeed and landed job at Twitter! How do I know that self made millennial brought success? Well, I wasn’t watching her videos as a way to prepare. I was just watching random videos and read notes on line. By doing this, I led myself on a bad path. BUT THEN! Everything changed! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SELF MADE MILLENNIAL!!!
Just wanted to circle back to this video with a testimony…about a month ago I watched this video (and several others because this was so good) the night before I had a 2nd interview for my dream job and they asked me just about every question! Thanks to this video, I was prepared AND confident while answering the questions which I am certain is what led to the job offer which I accepted! 🎉 Thank you so much for sharing this content! I also watched the video about how to introduce yourself (game-changer), questions to ask the interviewer and how to follow-up afterwards. Slam dunk all around…🙌🏾
I have second interview for a high profile sales consultant position today after many years from being in the workforce and staying home with my children. I’m far from being a millennial but this video and your others have given me the confidence I need to slay it today! And I’m sharing your channel with my two twenty something year old daughters for their upcoming interviews. Best videos out there! Thank you !
I just wanna say you helped me land a job at a pay I could only pray for ! I studied your videos , took it serious , did the follow up thank you emails , took notes and it paid off ! So grateful ❤️
I’ve been a silent watcher for a while now but your videos helped me landed 2 jobs that I really want!! I just binge your videos religiously before every interview so thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Madeline! I have to say that I watched all your videos on your channel to prepare for my interview, and 3 hours after my interview they called me to offer me the job! 😃 thank you thank you very much! 🙏❤ you are my hero!
Hello Madeline, dropping here to thank you and to let you know that I got the job after watching this video. Some background, I have been a SAHM for 13 years and have been trailing my spouse on multiple expatriate assignments. Last year, we moved to Switzerland and I started looking for a job in January 2024 as my kids didn't need me so much anymore. In March, I got a call from a company for an interview and I started to panic because I realised I answered questions poorly during the phone call. Then I bumped into this video and prepared myself for the face to face interview. By the time I left the interview, I knew I got the job because the HR executive explicitly told me I was well prepared. Thank you once again for this great compilation.
All I can say is thank you so so much! I have recently found your page in preparation for my first supervisor interview and honestly your tips and advice has helped me so much. Your advice helped me feel fully prepared before my interview and practicing your tips beforehand helped me have the confidence to express my skills in the interview. I smashed the interview and the interviewers were blown away by my responses. Your videos helped me land the job that is the perfect next step in my career. Thank you so much!
Your PAR or CAR technique helped me structure my stories well and allowed the interviewer to see the quality of my experience. I always fail at this aspect. So, after studying your video, I filled my story toolbox and did my interview and applied all the concepts I learned, Aced the interview and got the job the following day. Thanks Self-made Millenial
I know I'm late to this, but I discovered these videos recently and watched them before all 4 of my interviews in my most recent interview process. Today I got a job offer! Her tips really help and even if they don't ask you all of these specific questions, the general tips in here are absolute gold. I hope all of you take these videos and learn from them!
Out of all the questions NOT to ask, I did not ask any questions when asked. I know I didn't get this job. I'm glad I came across Self-Made Millennial. I won't make that same mistake EVER again. You are the TRUTH for job seekers. I've subscribed to the channel and will gobble up EVERYTHING!
Hello! I just wanted to thank you! Thanks to your videos I just got a job offer after 8 interviews! Some of the interviewers even congratulated me for my answers!! Thank you so much, your videos are the best!! 😊
Madeline thank you so much for your channel!! got that phone call yesterday that i was HIRED for a very very cool job i really looked forward to!!! thank you so much for doing these videos they really helped me boost my confidence up for the interview :) much love from The Netherlands xx
Bless you!!! After blowing some interviews - which I realized after watching your videos. I now landed a great job!!! Thank you so much!!! The biggest change I made was having short succinct answers. I realize I rambled and spoke way too much in the others. So thank you again!
I just wanted to express my gratitude for all your amazing advice. I just interviewed for the first time in 34 years. I followed all the tips in your videos and I got the job. They were also extremely impressed with all my answers to their questions. I am so excited as it is the perfect job for me, after months of searching, I finally found the one. Forever grateful!
Being fired is NOT ok do not tell them you were fired... It ends up opening a can of worms and they will not hire you unless you're the last person on the planet..
I have an interview later today. I've been studying since the appointment was set up, but now I'm crash coursing so I don't freeze. Your videos have been so helpful in this!
Hey. I recently got a job offer. Thanks to your amazing videos, I felt very confident in all the rounds. I even used your email templates and it all worked. A big thank you for publishing such great content. You are a rock star 🙂
Hey Madeline, could you make a video specifically addressing to the interview answers for an internship? The purpose of any internship opportunity is to gain maximum knowledge and experience from the company. How should one tackle questions related to what value we bring to the company with no prior experience?
i just had an interview and the interviewr asked me "wait, did you get your answers to this questions from the Self Made Millenia channel?" and i was hesitant to tell yes but then i told him "yes i did" and he was like "oh ok, you´re hired, i dont need to hear no more",, thank you,,,
I have to testify - I rarely ever comment on contents but this has been extremely useful! I got through the first (video) interview and on the second one (face to face) I received an offer not even 1 hour after leaving the office. Thank you so much!
I had to come on here and TESTIFY!!! This video helped me to ROCK my recent job interview. They asked me pretty much all of these questions. I practiced answering these questions before my interview. They called me back 10 mins after my interview and OFFERED ME THE JOB!! They said they were VERY IMPRESSED! So THANK YOU!!!! Life changing!!
So incredible!!
I’m feel like I’m about to vomit waiting for my interview
@@lareace3574 How did it go? :)

@Raven S.
Hello Raven, would u mind updating us on how the interview went :) just curious!
CONGRATS!
I watched your videos the night before my interview, and I got the job. I just turned 40, I’ve been a stay at home mom for 16 years. To say I’m rusty is an understatement. Your videos helped me so much. I told “stories” and I asked a lot of questions at the end and the conversation just kept going and I think that sealed the deal for me. Thank you so much.
I’m glad McDonald’s still hiring. Good job
@@bullitlbc people like you are absolutely pathetic. Gross.
Good for you!! Congrats!!!
Awesome! May I ask what job you applied for?
@@bullitlbc Someone bitter they can't get a job, lol?

After almost 5 months of being laid off I got a job offer! Thanks Madeleine for your videos and high energy😘
Congrats!!!
@Aggeliki P. I really hope you got the job you want by now thru the interview.
Could you please share some tips? How did you explain your laid off reason interview? I am also in the same boat
@aggelikip.664 maybe it's not a lot for _you_ but when you have dues, bills and loans that need to be paid off, 5 months can make the difference between wealth and poverty

Madeline,
After many months of job hunting and countless interviews, I have finally received an offer for a Mechanical Engineer role thanks to your videos. There are a lot of personal development and job hunting help channels on TH-cam, but you provide real world examples and experiences that are so valuable. Thank you so much for your videos and I'm glad I took the time to watch them. Results!!!
So glad to hear it!!!
Awesome! Great job!!!!
I watched this video 3 times before a job fair and Aced it! Got the job on the spot and their comment was that “I was prepared”
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Way to go!!
I have NEVER commented on TH-cam before....but I just landed a dream job when I felt like a serious underdog with most likely less formal education in the field than the other candidates. Thank you so much for this content! I am recommending it to friends. It really gave me the confidence boost to wow them in my interview. 🥰
So happy for you!! Way to go 😄
Madeline thank you soo much for your tips! I watched all of your videos and implemented your advice into my interviews. Today I was officially hired as an HR coordinator for a startup. I have 0 experience in HR and am transitioning from a career in healthcare to HR. I think your advice really helped make me shine thank you 💓
I had an interview in Manhattan yesterday and came across your channel while riding the train up. Your advice to remember that I was already qualified for the job definitely lowered my anxiety so I was able to relax and just be myself. I ended up having the most casual exchange with the owner of the company and was hired on the spot! Thanks for the confidence booster that I needed to be able to express myself without fear of criticism. Your advice was invaluable!🔥🙏🏾🔥
After prepping for an interview with this, I landed the job. THEN I got approached by my dream company and landed THAT job with the same prep. Thank you❤
I had a dream last night that I was interviewing, using Madeline’s tips and techniques, for a entry level sales position, and the interviewer hired me as their next CEO🙂
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I had to come back and comment because I promised myself after five days of preparing with your videos.. two interviews, and a week of waiting… writing notes and practicing out loud.. I got my first ever entry level job and will making more than I’ve ever made before and getting out of a mailroom job/environment where the most I got paid was 13 dollars an hour. Thank you for your videos and the work, and advice you put into them.
I'm not going to lie I'd been job-hunting for a year, trying every trick under the sun. I watched and implemented the tips in this video and landed my job! I've watched a lot of interview help videos and this is by far the best one! Thank you for making this and changing people's lives!
Being called a glorious qualified starfish was exactly what I needed to hear today. I am interviewing at a pharmaceutical company at 3:30 and I needed this confidence boost!
THAT’S RIGHT! You’ve got this
It was so cute
Your energy is contagious. You're so passionate about what you are doing, there is a real soul in all your videos. Thanks for a great job!
I find her insane
Insane with positivity thats so goddamn contagious!!!
Yeah I was about to say the same 😂
Insanely amazing! What a talent of this woman! she’s leaving a mark in this world!
Madeline, I found you about 10 days ago. I watched a few videos. On Thursday, I had my online interview. On Friday I got a job offer! Thanks so much. Your 10 most asked questions was the most helpful. You are very insightful and wise. Thank you.
This is so incredible to hear! Thanks for sharing the good news
“i dont even know how old i would be in 5 years. impossible to tell” CRACKED ME UP
This is my first time commenting on a video and I feel that it is so much appropriate for me to do so. I came across your channel while preparing for an interview for my dream job/company. I would say at least 6 of the questions here were asked during the interview. 2 days after I finally received an offer letter after almost 6 months of being unemployed. Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge and making this kind of content. ❤️
For jobseekers: If you didn’t land the job; it’s not meant for you. Keep your head high and keep on applying, the right job will eventually find its way to you.
Tip: for the “what’s your weakness” question be sure to offer a weakness that is not directly needed in the job.
Like if you need to be very organized in the job don’t say that as a weakness. Most people have several weaknesses, offer something that is not directly needed in the job you are applying for (even if you’re saying it’s something you’ve overcome or you’re working on now). You don’t want to offer up a reason not to hire you.
Also be sure to watch your facial expressions - you may be super passionate and or just thinking 💭 but you don’t want to come off as angry or frowning (smile every once in a while haha)
Much 💖.
yea this tip is money! thank you!
@@jhous007 you’re welcome!
I like this answer 😊a good alternative would be to say a 'fake weakness'. Something that you can twist around to be a good thing for you and/or the company you're applying to.
An example for me, a designer, would be something like "my weakness is being a 'perfectionist' " for example. Then I'd talk about how I tend to be detail-oriented to a fault, but then go on to mention that "any delays caused by this 'weakness' happened early on in my career, I've continued to work on it and haven't had any problems with shipping deliverables on time in recent years". Something like that lol
i literally never comment but i watched your vids before an interview for basically my dream job and i got it. thank you queen
Amazing news!!!!
Dear Madeline, YOU ROCK! You just helped me land the best job! Leaving retail behind and starting as an Optometry Patient Care Coordinator. I studied this video and tried not to gasp when they asked me 3 out the top 10 questions in the initial Zoom interview- including describe yourself in 3 words! I prepped my story toolbox, wrote out my "tell me about yourself," and showed enthusiam, then sent a thank you note. This was followed by a 3 hour in person interview! I hadn't interviewed like that in years! I'm no Millenial, but seriously THANK you (to tears) for sharing this and so many tips!
I’m here to testify. I landed my DREAM JOB. I just got my written offer today. I’m so thankful for you spreading your tips and tricks! If anyone is nervous or doubtful, don’t be. Madeline has got you!!
Advice is so good. Best in the business, thanks for fighting our corner.
Makes me happy to hear it 😄
Everyone, I highly recommend you take notes while listening to her. I took notes while watching videos by Cass and Self Made Millennial when prepping for my interviews. Doing that and praying a lot helped me land a job with a significantly high pay raise. Madeline - thank you so much!
Wonderful to hear, way to go!
My interview was virtual so I had my notes and preformulated answers on One Note to ALL THE QUESTIONS I was asked.
I totally forgot to comment but I got an office job after studying your videos for 3 days! They didn't ask any questions I wasn't prepared for.
I have been following you and referring your YT channel to others for awhile now. Then a job opportunity fell into my lap at the company where I currently work. I literally re-watched several of your vids on interviewing tips; questions to ask in an interview; how to answer the hard questions; questions that are always asked in an interview, the thank you letter and negotiation tips. I KILLED IT!!!!! My interview was on a Thursday morning, by Friday morning, I got an offer. The offer was wonderful, but I still negotiated it!!! I was terrified! But, you know what, they gave me what I asked for. (mic drop, boss babe stance) THANK YOU!!!! More money than I ever thought I could make. All because I followed your advice in these videos to the letter. Don't stop what you're doing. You are literally, changing lives. I applaud you!!!!!
This is my testimony,
And my interviewer asked me to tell me about myself. I had watched this video and framed my answer, let me tell you I actually nailed the interview and got the job. Thank you
I never thought a TH-cam video will actually help me, but I literally have 2 job offers in my inbox right now 😊 these answers ACTUALLY work!!
Hi Madeline, I got job!!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful techniques. I'm sure I could've done better, but the company who extended the offer were very impressed. I'm very happy and sending positive energies to those who are still in the job market!
After getting rejected by a bank I applied at, I watched a lot of your videos and was given another opportunity at interviewing for another branch whilst interviewing for another position I wasn’t really qualified for at a different company. I was hired on the spot for one, and just received a call from the “redemption interview” at the bank and was made an offer, although I declined the bank’s offer, it feels really good knowing that the skills I’ve learned in your videos shined through into the actual interview process and everything after that. THANK YOU!!!!!
I just landed an awesome gig because of these videos! 100% remote, tons of room for growth, and a small raise too. Thank you!!!! ❤️
5 of these questions showed up in my most recent interview. 7 total showed up in the 3 interviews. This is an awesome resource and I landed my dream Job.
Madeline!!!!! THIS! This was the BEST 20 minutes I could have ever spent preparing for my interviews! While I am still in the thick of interviewing, I have completed the process with three companies, and received offers from ALL THREE! File this in your "For What it's Worth" file, but practice, practice, practice these techniques and write that storyboard! It matters! Thank you so much Madeline! You are the Queen Bee of Exceptional Interview Advice!
I had to come here and drop my testimony. I had a job interview invitation and after watching so many videos, I found your channel on the morning of the interview. Two more interviews later and I now have a job offer. Your videos were so helpful and I feel like I wouldn't have gotten it without finding your channel. Thank you so much for creating these videos.
with over 20 years experience doing interviews, I learned a lot of these techniques through trial and error. She is spot on and I can't express this enough! And I really like her chair in the video. Way to to go and keep up the great work.
I passed my initial interview for a Retail Manager role and I immediately received a positive feedback! I used one of the questions "COVID Edition" you posted on Tiktok and I felt that I left an impact for the interviewer. Next week I'm on to my next phase of interview and a test. So grateful to have found your account 🙏. You're genius!
Excellent! So glad to hear it 😄
Great summary of videos Madeline. Got two calls yesterday to set up interviews for next week, after I got up off the floor (nothing in the last 5 months, 👻) this is perfect timing. Thanks!
Way to go!!!
I’ve had the same job for just shy of 13 years. I looked to your videos religiously when I started looking for another job. Not much more than a few weeks of putting my resume out there, one (well two- initial interview, then all staff interview) interview and bingo! I got the job! Thanks to you!! 😃
Thank you so much!! I got hired as a support worked and half way through the interview they actually switched to manager interview without telling me. 3 weeks into the job, they promoted me to manager!! This video was amazing in helping me prepare to show my best side 😊 Praise God!!
She’s truly the best! I watched all of her videos and crushed my interviews and got the job. I went through six interviews and a presentation with my company and received rave reviews about my interviews in the interviews! Thank you!!
Madeline!! I’ve been in the interview process for a huge job opportunity with a bank and what I did to prepare was watch ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND I GOT IT!!!
Congrats!!!
10000000% recommend following this video and coming up with answers for your interview! I had my first ever corporate level interview for a role I had no prior direct experience in and I was FILLED with anxiety for the days leading up. I binged all these videos and practiced answering the questions out loud to myself in the mirror. My interview went amazing and I feel so good about it! They even expedited the 3rd round interview for me to do the same day! Fingers crossed to landing the job, I should know within a couple of days! Follow these tips!!
I just signed a job offer today!!! Thank you very much for all your tips!!! While I was very nervous during my first interview, I nailed my final interview after practicing while watching your videos. I gained the knowledge and confidence for interviews that I never had before. Thank you Madeline! ❤
I just got off a call with a recruiter and want to say that this video helped me to come up with the answers to the recruiter's questions. Good content!!!
Way to go!
Since I’ve preached about your videos to others, I have to come back and give my real testimonial to the source. I’ll keep it short but from the bottom of my heart, your videos have allowed me to make moves in my career, to a new industry completely, at a fortune 200 company, in talent acquisition (with no job specific experience), at a salary I would never have imagined in comparison to my past. You’ve made a change in my life that I’ll never forget and intend on showing your content to others for as long as it’s your on the internet.
Again, thank you so much and wifi high five! :)
Madeline, thank you so much for these videos!
I just signed a contract for a job with a company I had been trying to work with for a year a half and it was all thanks to your advice in these videos!
Thank you thank you! 💓
Thank you, I used your advice to prepare for a job interview and no matter what happen I feel as a winner already. Great advice and amazing energy you have.
I've been out of work since March 2020 due to COVID-19. I decided to teach myself web design and go into a completely different career. I watched your videos religiously over the last couple of days! I had my interview today and I destroyed it! I got the job. Thank you so much for your wonderful content!
I’m currently job hunting and I am SO glad to have come across your videos. Your energy is amazing and your videos are not only super useful and detailed but actually fun to watch! Thank you so much ❤️
So glad to hear it!!!
Madeline! THANK YOU!!! Your interview tips made ALL the difference. Praying God blesses you tremendously for all the work you do. I'm just SO SO grateful!!
Omg I literally have a second interview in two hours thank you for this video!
Good luck!
Self Made Millennial I think I actually just got scammed by a pyramid scheme type company 😪 This is so tiring
@@kaitlynnrose1836 I had the same experience. I got so far in the interview as well 🤦🏽♀️
Hey Maddy, I just want to extend my gratitude to you and your channel. After watching your videos for just a day. I landed a job that I dreamed of.
I was getting ready for interviewing for a third position with a company (the first two I made it to finalist but didn't "lock it down") and I knew I had to do something different. I watched your videos and this last interview felt completely different! They offered me the job and were super excited to do so! I truly believe videos like this one and your tips on how to answer "tell me about yourself" and other questions like that made the difference! Thank you!
I Got the Job!!! Your videos gave me so much confidence even though the question were different I was able to pull from what I had in my toolbox. What sealed the deal was the questions I asked back it really threw them off and they engaged more with me. I followed with an thank you email. I got the job over internal employees!!!!
Thank you SOO much Madeline! I discovered your series of videos because I needed to prepare for my very first zoom interview. I recently left my career as a customer service manager in a casino, and took a job at a warehouse due to stress. I have spent the last 7 months struggling with applying for jobs because I was so anxious about my experience and the interview process. I was able to land my first interview with the referral of a college friend. I played your videos on loop, took notes and practiced.
This lead to the best interview I ever had. I was way over prepared which made me feel fantastic. I had so much material to work with after following your formula and examples. I got the job!! I am so excited about a new career in the hospitality industry for steam boat River cruises 👍🏽👍🏽
TESTIFYING!!!
Took notes from her & got the job!!
I’ve only ever been to two interviews in my life (im in my mid 20s)
I was recently successful in getting a job interview and took notes from her videos
I watched a handful of her videos the night before my interview - I would not recommend this as it’s best to prepare as many “STORIES” in your toolbox as you can
Great videos!!! Keep it up
All I can say is THANK YOU! I watched a few of your videos before my interview and landed my dream job!😭❤️
i like how your personality shines through your responses
You helped me land my first job right out of college and I think I might cry
Perfect timing; I was contacted for a next day phone interview yesterday, so I am trying to learn ALL the interview things!! Thanks so much for all your amazing videos, Madeline! Your channel has been a godsend as a new grad looking for work.
So glad to hear it!!!
@@SelfMadeMillennial do you have a no experience version of this video? For those who lack extra curricular activities after graduated 🙏
How did it work out?
@@diva1675 I got the job! I've been in my new role for four months now. I highly recommend following Madeline's advice; she knows her stuff for sure!
@@Steve-lh6ww In that case, I'd recommend using examples from your studies. For example, if someone asks about your time management skills, you can mention how you successfully juggled multiple deadlines by [method: listing out deadlines, then prioritising them based on drawing out timelines of how long/ detailed each one will take].
Does that make sense?
Words can’t even Describe how grateful I am that I came across this channel. God bless your heart and your energy for wanting to help people. I had interview with a bank and I didn’t feel the need to get prepared for it because someone had recommended me to that job. Well it didn’t go as planned so I had two more interviews with the same institution and I didn’t land a second interview. I applied at a different institution for a better position , I re-watched all your videos and used all your advice and tips and I got the job. Thank you so much 🙏🏽. Continue to do what you do . You’re making a difference in this world 🌎
Thank you for being real and providing actual examples. I cant tell you how I appreciate your help
I’m here to say that these videos helped me land my dream job. They 100% work. 1,500+ people applied for the job I GOT! Thank you
I come forth to testify…. self Made Millennial has brought tons of success in my job interviews. She is able to break everything down to detail on what to say. I have succeed and landed job at Twitter! How do I know that self made millennial brought success?
Well, I wasn’t watching her videos as a way to prepare. I was just watching random videos and read notes on line. By doing this, I led myself on a bad path. BUT THEN! Everything changed! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SELF MADE MILLENNIAL!!!
So happy for you!! Thanks for the kind words this means a lot
I got the job!! I start next Monday. Thank you so much Madeline. Your videos helped me so much. Seriously life changing.
Congrats!!
Just wanted to circle back to this video with a testimony…about a month ago I watched this video (and several others because this was so good) the night before I had a 2nd interview for my dream job and they asked me just about every question! Thanks to this video, I was prepared AND confident while answering the questions which I am certain is what led to the job offer which I accepted! 🎉 Thank you so much for sharing this content! I also watched the video about how to introduce yourself (game-changer), questions to ask the interviewer and how to follow-up afterwards. Slam dunk all around…🙌🏾
I have second interview for a high profile sales consultant position today after many years from being in the workforce and staying home with my children. I’m far from being a millennial but this video and your others have given me the confidence I need to slay it today! And I’m sharing your channel with my two twenty something year old daughters for their upcoming interviews. Best videos out there! Thank you !
I just wanna say you helped me land a job at a pay I could only pray for ! I studied your videos , took it serious , did the follow up thank you emails , took notes and it paid off ! So grateful ❤️
Love that you provided tons of responses in a matter of minutes! Good stuff!
I watched your videos through every step of my interview process (took nearly 3 months) and I landed a remote job. I am still in disbelief!
I’ve been a silent watcher for a while now but your videos helped me landed 2 jobs that I really want!! I just binge your videos religiously before every interview so thank you so much!!
So thankful for your advice! I was able to to land an awesome job after being a stay at home mom for the last decade! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much Madeline! I have to say that I watched all your videos on your channel to prepare for my interview, and 3 hours after my interview they called me to offer me the job! 😃 thank you thank you very much! 🙏❤ you are my hero!
Way to go!!
Hello Madeline, dropping here to thank you and to let you know that I got the job after watching this video. Some background, I have been a SAHM for 13 years and have been trailing my spouse on multiple expatriate assignments. Last year, we moved to Switzerland and I started looking for a job in January 2024 as my kids didn't need me so much anymore. In March, I got a call from a company for an interview and I started to panic because I realised I answered questions poorly during the phone call. Then I bumped into this video and prepared myself for the face to face interview. By the time I left the interview, I knew I got the job because the HR executive explicitly told me I was well prepared. Thank you once again for this great compilation.
All I can say is thank you so so much! I have recently found your page in preparation for my first supervisor interview and honestly your tips and advice has helped me so much. Your advice helped me feel fully prepared before my interview and practicing your tips beforehand helped me have the confidence to express my skills in the interview. I smashed the interview and the interviewers were blown away by my responses. Your videos helped me land the job that is the perfect next step in my career. Thank you so much!
Your PAR or CAR technique helped me structure my stories well and allowed the interviewer to see the quality of my experience. I always fail at this aspect. So, after studying your video, I filled my story toolbox and did my interview and applied all the concepts I learned, Aced the interview and got the job the following day. Thanks Self-made Millenial
I know I'm late to this, but I discovered these videos recently and watched them before all 4 of my interviews in my most recent interview process. Today I got a job offer! Her tips really help and even if they don't ask you all of these specific questions, the general tips in here are absolute gold. I hope all of you take these videos and learn from them!
Love hearing this! Thanks so much for sharing your success and thoughts, congrats!!!
Out of all the questions NOT to ask, I did not ask any questions when asked. I know I didn't get this job. I'm glad I came across Self-Made Millennial. I won't make that same mistake EVER again. You are the TRUTH for job seekers. I've subscribed to the channel and will gobble up EVERYTHING!
Watched a bunch of your videos one day before my final round. Guess what, I got the job!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hello! I just wanted to thank you! Thanks to your videos I just got a job offer after 8 interviews! Some of the interviewers even congratulated me for my answers!! Thank you so much, your videos are the best!! 😊
Madeline thank you so much for your channel!! got that phone call yesterday that i was HIRED for a very very cool job i really looked forward to!!! thank you so much for doing these videos they really helped me boost my confidence up for the interview :) much love from The Netherlands xx
Bless you!!! After blowing some interviews - which I realized after watching your videos. I now landed a great job!!! Thank you so much!!! The biggest change I made was having short succinct answers. I realize I rambled and spoke way too much in the others. So thank you again!
I just wanted to express my gratitude for all your amazing advice. I just interviewed for the first time in 34 years. I followed all the tips in your videos and I got the job. They were also extremely impressed with all my answers to their questions. I am so excited as it is the perfect job for me, after months of searching, I finally found the one. Forever grateful!
Being fired is NOT ok do not tell them you were fired... It ends up opening a can of worms and they will not hire you unless you're the last person on the planet..
I have an interview later today. I've been studying since the appointment was set up, but now I'm crash coursing so I don't freeze. Your videos have been so helpful in this!
Hey. I recently got a job offer. Thanks to your amazing videos, I felt very confident in all the rounds. I even used your email templates and it all worked. A big thank you for publishing such great content. You are a rock star 🙂
Hey Madeline, could you make a video specifically addressing to the interview answers for an internship?
The purpose of any internship opportunity is to gain maximum knowledge and experience from the company. How should one tackle questions related to what value we bring to the company with no prior experience?
I got the job at Tesla as a Engineer, thank you!
i just had an interview and the interviewr asked me "wait, did you get your answers to this questions from the Self Made Millenia channel?" and i was hesitant to tell yes but then i told him "yes i did" and he was like "oh ok, you´re hired, i dont need to hear no more",, thank you,,,
I have to testify - I rarely ever comment on contents but this has been extremely useful! I got through the first (video) interview and on the second one (face to face) I received an offer not even 1 hour after leaving the office. Thank you so much!
Just got an offer for a SWEET job today. Used your videos to prepare. THANK YOU BABE!
Yay!!! Way to rock it!
