      I really don’t get it about your highlight reel. You said “ so you’ll start with and place greater emphasis on, the most recent experience, and then go onto experience which predates that. This approach will focus on the experience that the interviewer actually cares about the most, the recent experience. And give less emphasis to earlier roles that they’re not as concerned about.” What does that mean by that? The interviewer actually cares about the most, The recent experience, they don’t care about earlier roles. How do would i answer about it?. Can you give me the example the answer the questions, please🙏🙏🙏. Because I almost interview my new job.

    Real testimonial here:
    Last May I was preparing for an interview with Progressive Claims.
    I watched SO many of your videos and it truly helped me in EVERY way land the job with Progressive. It was the first time I had ever interviewed with the STAR or PAR format and Progressive has a very hard and competitive candidate pool.
    I was told I landed the job out of almost 100 candidates.
    Less than one year after starting in my role, I JUST got promoted to a Supervisor position which I had to interview for and it was way more challenging than the initial job interview. I came back to your content to study again and it helped in every way.
    This promotion came with a 72% salary increase!
    I am in such a strong position now to provide for my family in a way I never have been able to before and I thank YOU for all of your videos!!!
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR CONTENT TO EVERYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT LANDING THE JOB!

      I have some questions:
      1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate).
      2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role
      3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies
      4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years*
      *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*.

      I actually used to have this problem really bad. I started rehearsing commonly asked interview questions and treated it like I was acting. Learn my lines, rehearse them, practice in a mirror, and then pretend I'm auditioning or performing. This was the only way to overcome my crippling one-on-one anxiety. One time I got so nervous to talk to two men in an interview (i'm a female) that they started talking and I couldn't say anything except yes sir or no sir. Since I've started doing the learning my lines thing, it has gotten much easier to answer commonly asked questions. When I'm hit with an uncommon question, or something I didn't expect, I pretend it's an improv class and just go with it.

    I don’t know if you’ll ever read this comment but your videos prepared me so much that my interviewer stopped asking behavioral type questions and we talked for an hour. This was a late Friday afternoon interview and she ended it with saying I hope I’m going to make your weekend better by offering you this position. Everything I read about this company, and its interview process was long and tedious, mine was a two step and hired. I credit you for a lot of it, you gave me the confidence and prepared me to take this on, thank you.

    Today they called me saying that the panelists were very impressed.
    At this point I’m moving forward to the background phase!

    @dtsect Год назад +76

    I think the part where a lot of people are struggling with is that the "best example answer" usually has some form of quantifiable achievement like $ saved, sales increased by X and or winning some kind of awards. Many people do not have this kind of achievement because sometimes it's really hard to "quantify" their work and or take full ownership of the accomplishment because it's usually a team work and not an individual effort (especially in a big company and if you are entry level to junior level employee).

    I haven’t interviewed in 5 years and I was so nervous so I did some you tube searching and came across this video (and many others of yours). This question always tripped me up but using your formula helped me create the perfect answer and made me feel more confident about the whole interview. I’m so happy to say I got the job! I’ve been sending your videos to anyone currently looking for jobs because you’ve helped me so much!

    I rarely comment on videos but this one and several others in the playlist definitely helped me with an interview I had today. About 20 minutes after the interview I got a call back saying they want to bring me on board! The feedback was that I left such a good impression that they didn’t see a need for a follow up interview and knew I’d be a good fit for the team.
    It’s a 20% increase from my current position and there’s no way I’d get a raise that high from staying where I am.
    Thank you Madeleine and thank you God ❤

    Hey hun, watched this just before getting into my 2nd interview (to different panel), I was barely half way through the video...

    I cant thankyou enough Madeline!! 1 month ago when I googled "How to answer the -Tell me about yourself job interview question" I stumbled upon your channel. I then went ahead and binge watched almost all of your interview prep series and took down meticulous notes and curated my answers based on the tips and tricks that you shared. And a week ago I landed a job in a company that pays the best in this field! Thankyou so so much. You are a life changer. I really feel bad for the people who still haven't found your channel, you as well as this channel is a gem and I wish to protect it dearly .

    Hi Madeline Mann,
    The 3 steps formula to answer interview questions (especially, tell me about yourself) helped me a lot throughout my job searching days! Using your suggestions and 3 steps formula, I have created a thorough interview questions-answers sheet and easily prepared almost every interviews accordingly. It feels great to inform that I have managed to get an offer and your videos gave me confidence. Even though I had to face the interview in a different language, which is my third language and I have been learning it for almost 2 years!
    All I want to say, Thank you for your amazing work! Keep up your good work and spirit! You are helping people. It matters!

The VP of Sales was my 2nd interviewer and she complimented my answer to the "Tell me about yourself" prompt twice! This position was for manager at a distributor and the first thing I did was interview some of the accounts I knew the company had and asked them how their experience was with the distributor. They really liked that I took that step and I was told today that I was the successful candidate and will have a job offer pending references.

    You didn't need to tell me to subscribe to this beauty of elevator pitch examples. You turned me into a writer and thinker all in one seating. Madam, thank you very much. I am confident to the extent that I can think of the enterprise skills required to map to a skill in the pitch, interview, personal statement/profile, and quick cover letter. Your Genius with a capital G is like the TCP 3-way handshake - a living latch that transports complete information and understanding faster and appropriate for the mind to grasp and keep. You have turned me into something else.
    Because of you, I can split my skills to meet the job description. Use them with the S.T.A.R technique story format, including enhancing it with enterprise and personal skills to at least do one thing right - get the job I want
