    This is one of the videos I watched on RUclips before taking my IT interview a few days ago, and I absolutely nailed it!
    There were 6 interviewers in the room, and in the end, they told me I didn't have to wait for the result, because I was accepted!
    Thank you!

    I like your advice. I am also a recruiter and I conduct interview in our project. Sometimes I look past on the technical because I know it can be learned and I am most interested on their enthusiasm and response attitude.

    If you don't know the answer in the interview, BE HONEST! I just had a technical interview at the beginning of the month. It was about 20 questions. I stressed my self afterwards because I didn't know 3 or 4. I got a call back and they said I had done an amazing job regardless. Just something to keep in mind

It is a smashing one off guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my BF after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.

    A big problem wit many IT jobs is the following:
    1. The descriptions are unrealistic in a lot of jobs. Many times they're​ not even required by the job, you're suppose to do. A lot of this is, because​ of non-IT people writing the description.
    2. Many times you aren't even​ interviewing with the IT Staff, which makes it hard to know what the job requires.

      I had an interview about two months ago where the Team Lead was trying to explain to me why a CCNA wasn't that beneficial. Fast Forward.. in person interview they gave "a real scenario that occurred with the company" months prior.. in which I resolved the problem literally within 5 minutes. They had a client in which they could not figure out connectivity issues.. they were not using the correct subnet mask.
      This very same lead also wanted to make a point to me that Windows is worthless and Mac was the golden standard. I disagreed.. lol.. I never got an offer. Even the applied questions/answers from the interview questions were just flat out wrong. You hit the nail on the head. Non IT people do not write the job descriptions. They are the interviewers and hiring managers now!

    I have sat on a few of the interviews as a panel. Most of the time, we select a candidate for the job is based on their personality and how they will work well with the existing clients we support. Most interviewees are totally qualified for the job based on the resume. Thus, it is not about that they are not qualified like you said, they already landed the job interview. :) with interview practice, the interviewee can show more of their "natural" personality.

    After most interviews, employers have already made up there minds if they are going to make you an offer or not so I don't even bother following up anymore. You have to remember interviewing is a 2 way street, and there were plenty of employers who I didn't want to work for anyways so I was glad to never hear from them again and I've also turned down offers.

    Hi Zac, I recently graduated from technical college with 3.97 GPA I studied IT help desk support specialist which was total of 45 credits, I did total of 51 credits. So I have taken courses from Apple, windows, office, etc. I did a paid internship my final semester. I just interview for a part time Geek squad advance repair technician. You talk about your verbal thought process that is my weakness, lack experience in customer service, speaking on phone is another weakness. My problem is verbalizing what my skills are, I tend to answer 1-2 word answers vs to giving examples of my intern work experiencs or what I have learned in college. I am struggling with finding IT job due to my lack of work experience even though I have 3 yr technical Diploma. So it is discouraging to go to technical college, graduated with honors but now struggle with job interviews and finding the right job environment that will fit my needs without causing me to come overwhelmed or cause anxiety. Many want years of experience which is hard to get if nobody gives you the chance to be able to build up the years of experience.

    Something I would like to add: be personable. It's one thing to have the knowledge, but part of the interview is to assess you as a person. They want to know if you will be a disruptive or untrustworthy employee as well. Don't be afraid to include non-work-related parts if your life. Hobbies, relationships, and personal experiences can be relatable to your work skills. If you can surprise them or stand out somehow, that will go a long way.

  • @whiskeyshots
    @whiskeyshots 4 года назад +24

    I'll give you my two favorite questions I ask people when I interview them.
    1) I give the scenario about a computer not being able to get to the internet, but I'm not looking for an answer, I'm evaluating your troubleshooting methodology. There is no solution, I just want you to step through everything you would do to diagnose the problem.
    2) "A user asks you to help them forward their company email to their personal Gmail. How do you handle that?" Hint: I'm not looking for a technical solution on this one. I'm looking to see if you will question whether something should be done or not.
