what is your tip for interviews I always
made it a point to ask about the
environment have them explained the
people and work ethic in the office in a
sentence or two they'll probably
you but you might hear
something that either gets you excited
or puts you off as the other comments
said you're interviewing them as well to
find out if you'll be a good fit or not
make sure to take full advantage and
learn as much as you can about them
it'll help you and it'll show you care
could you walk me through a typical day
at work in this position it shows
genuine interest in the position and
gives you actual useful information
about the role itself edit for those
saying they consistently get vague
answers if you get through the entire
interview process and no one is willing
to give you a breakdown of what your
duties will be and what is expected of
you that's a red flag and you should be
hesitant to take that job to an extent
emulate some of the interviewers
behavior act somewhat casually if they
seem casual be formal and professional
if they are ATC treat the interviewer as
an equal
not your superior getting hired is not
some kind of privilege they're
generously bestowing on you you're
making a deal your time for their money
in a mutually beneficial relationship
finally research the company and the
position you'll want to know the salary
you should be entitled to as well as be
able to answer and ask questions about
the company edit spelling because
apparently it was really stressing some
of you out for the love of God be nice
to any admin or reception people you
meet because hey you're hopefully not in
a shirt B admin people can have a
surprising amount of influence in hiring
C you might actually be talking to
someone much higher in the chain without
realizing it on C I read a story on ask
her manager about a guy that came in for
an interview a woman came out to the
reception desk to look for something and
tried to make small talk that is hello
how are you today
the man looked at her and answered
disdainfully that he had an interview
with the big boys and was too important
to even talk to a lowly receptionist as
she found what she was looking for and
went back into the office the guy then
gets called into a conference room for
his interview with an apartment manager
division head and the female CFO who is
the woman he just insulted he did not
get the job
if you keep the mentality that you're
the one interviewing them you'll always
win go in with a loose mindset just try
to make it a normal conversation with
the interviewer that really helps me
when introducing yourself try to
determine what color eyes the
interviewer has basically a way of
making sure you've got a contact when
the interviewer asks if you have any
questions for them the first thing you
should ask is what their favorite part
about the job is if they hesitate too
much to answer the job isn't worth your
time have a one two minute speech about
yourself memorized include information
about your education and other
professional experiences directly
relatable to the job you are
interviewing for generally one of the
first questions is tell me about
yourself having something prepared gives
a good impression and starts the
interview off well for tech interviews
my biggest advice is to go in with the
mindset that people aren't testing you
so much as sharing with you their
favorite coding puzzles to try a
candidate who has a relaxed attitude and
seems like they're having fun taking on
new challenges will get a lot more slack
than somebody who is stress out they say
90% of it is body language I don't know
if that's true but if you come in scared
and ensure it's not going to help but
take the time to relax and come in with
a smile and if you can manage it look
forward to the conversation you're about
to have past that ask questions and
learn about the project and people in
place you'll be working at or learn that
you don't want to work there that's a
win to last if you don't know something
that's okay don't lie or fake it just
admit it and then say how you'd search
for the answer or what you do when faced
with something you don't know be it ask
for support or Google or something you
could try whatever especially in IT or
any computer related field they're often
more interested in someone who can
figure out an answer than someone who
acts like they have all the answers a
good luck treat it like you on a date
with someone and act interested in them
be friendly and try to make small talk
read about the company and use that
information have a question about
something specific and have an
observation about something you liked
maybe you liked their green energy
initiative or you are wondering about
one of their products it lets them brag
about their business and shows
you care about more than just a paycheck
be nice to the receptionist I used to
work as a receptionist and my boss would
always talk to me about the candidates
after interviews having a short confer
with the receptionist can really help
you get to call back it shows that you
will work well with the team and have
good people skills dress well you
probably won't over dress for an
interview as long as it isn't a tux you
should be fine
obviously aside from all of the helpful
character tips people have given if
you're applying to a company of almost
any sort research their annual report
almost all business post annual reports
online and are very easy to find they
give much better insights to a company's
ethos success and future plans all of
these are very useful to know and
reciprocate in an interview when asked
what you know about the company or why
you want to work for them they will be
impressed that you read it also make
sure to ask them plenty of questions at
the end
Google some good ones this is very
important TL DR research the company's
annual report then you get the money
then you get the women right before you
go in tell yourself I'm a badass
repeatedly a little extra confidence
goes a long way go with the idea that
you're there to make their money and not
I hope I get this job so I can get paid
when they ask you if you've got any
questions for them pick something they
mentioned early during the interview and
ask them for further specifics on it it
shows you listened and have or can
properly fake genuine interest in the
job practice practice practice look up
tons of interview questions online and
speak your answers aloud numerous times
for each question make yourself
uncomfortable enough but speak then
naturally you'll end up with many common
themes that you'll be able to draw on so
even if the questions they ask can't
exactly what you rehearsed you'll still
have plenty of articulately crafted
answers to draw from and you'll wow them
good luck being at my job for 20 years
interview was around lunch when the
interviewer asked me if I had any
questions I asked if he was hungry cue
an hour of honest fun conversation over
lunch I also ended the interview by
saying that I had already took up enough
of his time and had to get back to my
girlfriend at the hotel
lean back in your chair with your feet
on the interviewers desk establishes
dominance quickly pretend that you've
known the interviewer for a while and
that you both share a genuine interest
in the job for behavioral questions I
started using the star method and it's
helped so much I just keep the were dock
of different scenarios in my working
life that I cam use as examples to
answer almost any behavioral interview
question while demonstrating that I
actually implemented that behavior this
is my biggest tip before you leave your
previous job preferably periodically
while you're working there write down in
a notebook what you do in technical
fields like mine I keep notes on all the
different types of tools since I work
worked on and software additions
associated with them in that notebook I
also keep a list of people I've worked
with prior to the interview as in the
lobby whatever I'll read through that
notebook that way tools I haven't worked
on in years are fresh in my mind and
also names of people I've worked with
it's nice when the interviewer says Bob
Jones used to work in that fab in 2008
did you know him or what tool sets have
you're worked with what was your issue
with some obscure tool that's rarely
used anymore you'll be amazed how easy
it is to forget some things and a little
refresher before the interview is nice
I've even brought the notebook out
during the interview and that really
made the interview go well not sure how
it worked with all job interviews there
with technical ones note-taking is king
never speak in generalities always what
you did not what you would do if the
question is give me an example of a time
when you persuaded someone to buy our
products don't say I would discover what
they needed instead of give a specific
example of when you discovered the needs
of the customer and the outcome also
don't come and hi when you get to the
point where you ask questions ask why
your position is available how they
answer that question and what they
aren't around with can sometimes tell
quite a bit about the job the company
and the people their research beforehand
the qualities they are looking for then
pretend you have them don't badmouth
your current previous employer if asked
what your biggest flaw is tell them
you're too honest if they say that
honesty isn't a floor tell them that you
don't give a hell what they think I hire
and fire for a small security company my
standards maybe aren't as strict as
yours that said please bring a paper
copy of your resume with you I dislike
printing them all out also please stop
coming to job interviews in sandals or
tank tops in the winter it's hard to
give an interview while I'm sitting
there be welded and wondering if I
should ask why you've chosen to dress
this way do yourself a favor and buy 60
seconds and you're hired by Robin Ryan
seriously I have never not gotten the
job since reading this book I have some
family members who were corporate execs
officers and they are the ones who told
me about it for reference on its
credibility also don't forget the basics
and practice
smile make eye contact dress
professionally
bring a copy of your resume CV
references send the follow-up thank-you
note and be authentic
don't sell yourself short edit I'm not
robbing run edit no but really don't be
afraid to walk or storm out if things
get ridiculous just because you are the
one competing for a job does not give
them license to be rude I've had
interviewers brag about how hard they
are to work with show off drunk
tell bold-faced lies and even try to
bait and switch the pay or job title do
your research before going in look at
what the company doesn't believes in if
it's an academic position read some of
the papers they've published it shows a
serious interest in the position and a
passion for the field fine to view them
to be my boss first clutch question this
seems like a great place to work what is
one thing you would change if you were
presidency er if you've really got sauce
I like it seems like you are very
understanding and supportive of your
staff can you tell me about a time you
realized one of your staff was right and
how you reacted and never talked money
if they try to pin you down say I am
looking forward to receiving your best
offer if they say they can't match your
salary your response is I am willing to
consider the entire compensation package
dress for the job you want I cannot
stress this enough
I immediately dock points whenever
someone comes in
for an interview in casualwear our job
posting clearly states the appropriate
dress and there's no excuse for you to
not also if a posting says no walkins or
calls do not do either they say that for
a reason
read the SEC 10k filing it has all the
CEOs top concerns talk about how you
would address each one speak to subject
matter experts beforehand don't say like
too much it like amazes me how much
people like say this so often for
serious first two seconds can't get you
the job but they can prevent you from
doing so polish your shoes press your
clothes new haircut
etc goes a long way for fun pray they
ask you about your weaknesses then pull
out a business card with eye
over-prepare on it have no only these
two on deck
[Music]
you
