I’ve been watching for a while and what I have concluded is that based on your advise I’ll never remember all I need to not to blow an interview and although I need to start a search I have no confidence I’ll ever get an offer because I’m now overwhelmed with details of how I’ll blow it.
After my interview which was Friday, June 23rd, I asked questions as well and as we were walking out of the building the interviewer says “we will talk to you soon”…I haven’t called yet…but hopefully I will hear something this week or get an email
I love the idea of having two scripts. Never thought of that🤔. I also like the idea of making it a call rather than email. Call on Tuesday not Monday👍🏼Thanks Don
What should I do in this case? I have completed two rounds of an interview and received a message stating that I have passed the interview. The HR department was supposed to contact me regarding the salary and job offer within 7 days. However, it has been almost 10 days, and I haven't heard back from them yet. Should I contact them myself, or wait a few more days?
I had a screening interview last Friday. The interviewer offered the following information before I had a chance to ask: "I pass this on to the hiring manager and it takes about a week for next steps, which would be a virtual interview and a personality test." It's the next Friday now, and I still haven't heard back. Do I make the exception and contact them today? Or do I still wait til next Tuesday? I want to leave them alone, but I don't want to miss their decision-making window!
She said I'm supposed to know by next Friday, should I still do anything or just wait? The waiting is killing me. I really want to know, I want to know if I need to keep looking or if there's light at the end of the tunnel. I'm long past ready to leave my current job.
Forgot to mention. They asked me if I was available for a second interview the next day. I said I was available and they seemed to be okay with it. I took a written test and I couldn't answer some of the questions. I hope not able to answer all the questions makes the candidate look bad.
Hey Don! First of all I want to tell you how much I love your content, I’ve learned A LOT from it so far! I just interviewed for a Sales/Project management position yesterday (Tuesday). They talked and showed me the facility around for over an hour, in my opinion the interview went very well. At the end the President of the company said that they’ve interviewed 4 other candidates and that now they’ll be making some tough decisions and either way good or bad that I’d be hearing from him soon. What would you say my next step/questions should be and when? Thank you in advance!
Don what if i did a follow up email And the response was Corey will be wrapping up interview and will know soon.... so That was exactly a week ago When i rec that email. So When should i Follow Up second time? Or Do i leave it alone?
Good video. Question: Made it past the hiring manager followed by the panel interview with the larger team. At the end of the panel interview the hiring manager said that he would follow up with next steps. Should I follow up or let it ride? I'm thinking let it ride given the hiring manager's comment. Good sign, right?
Great video. I got an interviewed and they said they want someone to start the follow week. They told me they would follow with me by the end of the day but I didn't hear back. Any suggestions?
What if they tell you the start date already for the position in the first interview and also state they will make a decision in a couple weeks via email?
Hi Don this is Maria, what can u tell me about my first interview, done . I asked the hiring manager if when are u gonna have to decide to have a hiring date yet? Said, she call me anytime when She got the mail or notification that tells the documents process is done and probably 2-3 wks. Then she said I have to prepare the prescribed uniforms. Need your advice, thank u and more power on your excellent video.
what about if you've been interviewed with HR and the hiring manager and when I follow up with the Hiring Mgr there was no reply? but when I follow up via email with HR I was told they haven't heard back from the Hiring Mgr any feedback and once they know they will let me know. what would you do in this situation???? thanks
Interview was last Friday, said they’d finish up interviews the following Monday (two days ago) and that they “tend not to dilly dally”. Nothing so far. What would be the optimum time to call, in your opinion? It’s a small organization with very little bureaucracy. I’m mindful of contacting them before they make a decision versus doing it too soon.
What if it’s been over two weeks, no contact. They said they would call you. I called them. It’s still pending. I’ve asked lots of people in business as well as managers and gms. They said this is unprofessional, and it’s ghosting. Move on they aren’t interested
Don Georgevich I called them. They said the hiring process can take months. They personally told me they were short staffed, hurting for help, mandatory overtime on burned out employees. My gm currently said 15 days no contact after they promised to call is too extreme. Got several gms opinions all agreed
Hi Don, do you think the word “follow-up”should be replaced by the words “follow up”? With hyphenation, the word “follow-up” is a noun while without hyphenation, “follow” is a verb.
@@DonGeorgevich Thank you! I also have a question that is unrelated to this video. I have heard multiple career counselors say that you should never do an exit interview because there is no upside to doing it. Is there a downside? What are your views on exit interviews?
@@DonGeorgevich while youre here : Verbal acceptance within a week from the interview with notice of offer time may vary due administrative procedure, now waiting for 3 and a half weeks for final offer should i follow up instead ? i heard that 2-4 weeks is a fairly standard timescale also it might seem a bit intrusive dont you think ?
I'm not a career advisor. I'm an interview coach, and one of the best if I do say so myself. And what does having a BA have to do with helping people get hired for jobs, or anything for that matter? I've known some people with PhD's and masters who could not get a job. All they were qualified to do is teach other people what they know, so they can get a job, though never having had a job themselves. so what are you really concerned about?
@@DonGeorgevich I actually watched your videos on youtube and liked them ! i even took you for reference coach whenever i had an interview for a job. But then in one video you said you didn't complete your BSc so i asked this, but yes i totally agree with your assertion about MScs and PhDs anyways you think if they watched you they might have got a job ?
so glad you liked my videos. I share that I don't have my BA to show that it's not as important as you may have been led to believe. I also may be a little sensitive when challenged on this topic. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge supporter of higher education and wish I could have completed mine. But for various reasons, many people don't start or even finish theirs and not having it is not a death sentence in the job market. whether they watched my videos or not, it's hard to say what kind of help they need. I think the ones with advanced degrees that don't get jobs are in the minority.
Hey Don, I just want to thank you for your video series. I managed to land my dream job following your advices. Thank you.
glad to help you my friend
I haven't even try this guy tactics and love his style already.
Thank you Don! I dont watch anyone other than you when it comes to interview advice. You're the man!
I’ve been watching for a while and what I have concluded is that based on your advise I’ll never remember all I need to not to blow an interview and although I need to start a search I have no confidence I’ll ever get an offer because I’m now overwhelmed with details of how I’ll blow it.
my advice to you.... stop beating up yourself.

Wow amazing, I'm in my process now and I didn't 3 interview till now
After my interview which was Friday, June 23rd, I asked questions as well and as we were walking out of the building the interviewer says “we will talk to you soon”…I haven’t called yet…but hopefully I will hear something this week or get an email
Same I had an interview August 3rd .The interviewer said we will respond Friday..
We also have other interviews.
I love the idea of having two scripts. Never thought of that🤔. I also like the idea of making it a call rather than email. Call on Tuesday not Monday👍🏼Thanks Don
it works great!

i never leave anything to chance. I think it's always a good idea to stay in contact with them.

Please, how long time between the interview invitation and the response by HR.
THANKS
What if you interviewed with 2 hiring managers? I feel like email is better because I can put both of them on it instead of just calling 1 of them
Don what if i did a follow up email
And the response was Corey will be wrapping up interview and will know soon.... so
That was exactly a week ago
When i rec that email. So
When should i
Follow
Up second time? Or
Do i leave it alone?

I did an interview today and I wasn’t asked if I had final questions

VideoGameRoom32 did you call them I’m in the same situation 🥵

sorry, i don't understand the question.
what about if you've been interviewed with HR and the hiring manager and when I follow up with the Hiring Mgr there was no reply?
but when I follow up via email with HR I was told they haven't heard back from the Hiring Mgr any feedback and once they know they will let me know. what would you do in this situation???? thanks
Bad idea ! I got rejected after asking them when they’re gonna make a hiring decision
You’re my career guru 🤩
Last fri i had and interview today is wednesday is it too early to call to follow up on job interview? Thanks
I received a mail from the HR showing, they were added me to the talent pool candidates
Do I confirm the job or not?
Would Tuesday be good for interviewing also?
Always useful information!
What if they only give an email and no phone number?
Interview was last Friday, said they’d finish up interviews the following Monday (two days ago) and that they “tend not to dilly dally”. Nothing so far.

call them.

Thanks thanks thanks Don nothing to express more here
I'm sure this will work for 99% of people but I just see myself asking for their email and having the hiring manager say: "nah fam, we'll call YOU"...
you can believe that or not, but in my experience you will only hear that 1 in 25 times
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks for you're help Don!
I just got that reply at the end of an interview this past Monday.
What about following up thru linked in message or whatsapp message if i know the hr manager’s contact number?
if they are active on that platform...
Thank you very much ! As u said on ur youtube, I picked up the phone and called them up directly. I got the answer!
nicely done
When would you follow up if they said they don't have a set timeline for making a decision, that they are just focused on making the right decision?
two weeks

Lol I only have my resume on my phone ...sad 👀😈
The protocol is too strict, why not more spontaneous talks ?
i do both.

Wrong advice man ! You say don’t ask any “me” questions in interviews and you tell me to ask about when you’re gonna make a hiring decision
