Best tip I ever got for public speaking that applies hear: Don't memorize your speech, but know your speech. Feel free to change things on the fly and don't rehearse it the exact same way every time.
I was late for two interviews because of traffic issues I encountered on the way. I would have been there 30 minutes ahead of time otherwise. I called the recruiters and let them know. In one case we had a major winter storm overnight, and roads were bad, so they understood. In the other case, someone decided to take a swim in the Chicago River in February and had to be rescued by the fire department. I was only a mile away, but traffic was at a standstill and the cab driver couldn’t take a detour. The recruiter said she had been hearing sirens for the last few hours, so she understood. I got both jobs, so I guess they liked me.
@@weepingdalek2568 I think the major difference is that A. it was an event out of your control, B even though it was out of your control you made sure to inform them ahead of time so that time isn't wasted and they could simply move the interview back 30 minutes or so.
I once had an interview which was booked for later that day. I had no time to prepare. So I went in and just was myself. I told them about my experience and sold what I could bring to the table. The interviewer stopped the interview halfway through and offered me the job on the spot. I got told later that he liked that I was real and authentic and my interview didn't sound rehearsed. Just be yourself, and be honest. If that isn't good enough for them, then it's their loss.
This advice sounded like common sense to me, but by reading the comments below, I see how valuable it is. Often we think what we know is obvious, but it can be a gem to everyone else.
Those of you who are watching this in AI era: use it to your favour. Upload your resume and linkedin profile, upload the infos of the role you are applying for, and ask the chat to analyze it as a recruiter and to prepare an interview with 10 questions. Practice your storytelling: prepare yourself to answer questions about who you are (professionally), the solutions and the impact of your job on your previous experiences, and how your knowledge and skills could help the company to achieve better results with your work. To better illustrate those three items, prepare in your mind some stories about previous experiences around them. These are the arguments you need to have in mind. Use the chat voice tool to evolve your speech techniques and you are more than prepared.
This is awesome. I have my first round interview tomorrow at a major company. Potentially the most money I’ve made in all my 25 years of working. Thanks for the tips I’m gonna go in strong and get the job!
The tips on practicing and managing interview anxiety were so practical and effective. Nailing an interview requires confidence and these were some great tips to help achieve that!
Thank you so much for the tips they are great! I am going to apply soon for jobs and I heard virtual was how they do it these days. I really appreciate this vlig. Ty
i mean i dont have work history but interviews are all about lying cause the questions aren't related to the work anyways.also what if i dont have the time to go through "a number of them"🙂
@@sakmadik69420 You might not have a work history but do you have an informal work history? work under the table, club roles, school activities/accomplishments, volunteer work, or something to say you're not just doing the bare minimum? You might have to get creative but if you're going for a position with 0 experience necessary, you just have to show some effort. I did lawn care stuff like weed pulling and lawn mowing either for church/ community members and got a few dollars for it. I listed this on my resume long enough to get my first job and once I had gotten to college I dropped it in favor of higher quality work history. Lastly it's way better to have multiple interviews then one because you can cherry pick if you put in genuine effort. I'd rather go through 4 different interviews then just 1 because it can make a big difference in career, pay, and work environment.
How do I best prepare for an interview if the job description is vague, the technology is internal to the company, the group is new and I can't get a full description, and I can't find information on the interviewers online?
If I have to talk extemporaneously in my daily life in/ on the job... if I can't talk "off the cuff" in the interview. Some job search coaches say you need to spit the exact job requirements back at the interviewer (basically saying matching the question to the qualifications), how's that helpful? Lately, I've been trying to see it as a conversation, not a "make or break" type of a thing. I learn a bit about them, they learn a bit about me. I seem to be well spoken... but someone just needs to give me a chance.
Guys I have a question that's in desperate need of an answer I recently got extended in offer for this tech company I applied for however they said that the position is an "entrepreneurial" position and that at first I won't be paid in cash but stock in the company. They told me that I will be a co-owner. Is this a scam or is this a normal thing?
@@RangerGSD gotcha but I'm just so desperate because I've been applying since march of 2022 with no success not to mention that the job market is slowing down so I haven't been getting many calls
Hello, Jason, My first response is that this sounds shakeup. However, if you are truly considering it, here are several things to consider. This is not a full list, but it may help a bit: 1. Does this company have anything proprietary that could help them truly compete in their market? This could lead them to be solvent enough to pay salaries at some point. 2. Is this a sales or biz dev role? If so, it “might” make sense but that alone isn’t enough. 3. Who are the founders? Do they have experience and traction in their sector? 4. How well are they funded? And how are they funded-I.e., are they self-funded? Angel? VC? 5. Can you talk to other employees about their experience and the legitimacy the company? 6. This may be a legit company and if so, what is their exit strategy? Are they going to sell eventually to someone? Make money for the founders and then close down? Go public? As you think on this, also trust your gut feelings, and really assess what you need. Wishing you the best with this.
If you have nothing else going, take it and keep looking. Try and get solid answers on how much of the company you will earn, and for a clause that prevents you from being diluted more than the founders. That back-door dilution is a common scam that's legally perpetrated by companies.
Personality profile questions: They are not effective because businesses still hire too many jerks! You see Joey steal a piece of candy: A. You let it go B. Rat on Joey C. Rat to the manager D. Go to the bathroom - Swimming and music teachers? You can only tell how well someone swims by watching them swim, not by paper pushing!

@@coldkiller9033 yep I got many offers haha
Interviews aren't that hard once you have gone through a number of them and when you aren't making up/lying about your work history and skillset.
i mean i dont have work history but interviews are all about lying cause the questions aren't related to the work anyways.also what if i dont have the time to go through "a number of them"🙂

Resume tip: make sure you spell the name of current employer correctly.... Don't ask me how I know this
How do I best prepare for an interview if the job description is vague, the technology is internal to the company, the group is new and I can't get a full description, and I can't find information on the interviewers online?
Ask careful questions in the interview - I made a video on questions to ask your interviewer that you should refer to.
My interview IS tomorrow.
Mine too
You get the job? I got one today and 3 next week

I just experienced an out-of-body moment: I read that as "Last-Minute Interview Perp." Help.
Guys I have a question that's in desperate need of an answer

Is this a scam or is this a normal thing?
I don't have that answer but I wouldn't personally work somewhere if I'm not getting paid a salary.
