Hi! Just wanted to ask, if you are a recent graduate applying to an internship, how can you avoid being repetitive in Part 1, where you must mention "where you are now." The internship is meant for recent graduates, and you would like to avoid starting with "I am a recent graduate."
I got the job!! Thank you!
Yeah! Thanks for sharing Julia. So excited for you. When do you start?
Will come back to let you know I’ve been hired ❤️

hey thanks for this video, very helpful. One question though, I'm taking a career break now, and when i do a job interview in the future how can i make the first part (where i am part) more natural as it's not like i'm currently working at a time i'm having a job interview? Thank you!
Great question! Yes, focus on where you are now and what you've done during your break that relates to the new position. For example, did you recently receive any certifications or seek out additional training? Or did you volunteer somewhere to brush up on your skills? Does that help?
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin thanks for your reply! Haha unfortunately I haven't really done anything related to my career during my break as I'm taking a break from severe burn out. Welp, but maybe I might start doing something or read something at least that can be related. Thank you!
The behavioral questions are getting harder. I have been interviewing for technical roles recently and I’m already burned out. Between the technical and the behavioral questions, it’s overwhelming.
Ashley, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree. Behavioral questions a getting harder. Look at this as a positive. It means your future employer really wants to know about you and your experience. They are taking a vested interest in you. Do you have some good stories you can share in relation to the technical roles you're applying for?
Going off on a tangent is my biggest problem or not properly answering the question given at hand, which means I suck at interviews. 🤣🤣
Sometimes I don't believe in myself and sometimes it's hard to get an interview when there's so many obstacles in the way
You’ve got this! Keep working hard.
What should someone say when they have been a stay at home mom for years? I have an interview Next Wednesday and this is always a question that I never know what to say.
Being a stay at home mom is a full time job. You're the CEO and project manager of the household. Talk about your multi-tasking ability including any volunteer work or community work you've done. You've got this!
Any suggestions how long the answer should be? Your example answer at the end was about 30 sec.
Please I do like learning English language so can you help me to conversation 🥰🙏🙏🙏
The advice I always tell my clients is that you should ONLY talk about relevant skills/experience tied to the role you're applying for. They don't want to hear your life story.
Yes! So true. Thanks for watching. Hope you're doing well.
ahh i have job interview in a few hours. Im so nervous 😭
You've got this! Sending you good vides. :)
I suck at interviews no matter how much I practice
How do I apply this formula especially part 1 when I'm pivoting into new industries/career paths? I want to capture the interviewer's interest right from the beginning!
Hi Mike! Great question. Start with your career pivot. Talk about how and why you're reinventing your career. Hope this helps!
You need to record where in a location with less echo.
Thanks for your recommendations.
How to start tell me about yourself when currently you are not working ?
This stupid question is the only part of interviews that is hard. All other question are pretty simple.
This is definitely are harder question. Thanks for watching.
I commented
Haha! Thanks buddy! Love you.
Or maybe they did not read your resume prior to the interview.
YOU'RE HIRED
Yeah!
Her example sounded scripted.
That’s ok shows she spent the time to prepare.
Why do youtubers love to hold up their fingers when indicating point 2 or 3 or whatever? Your viewers are not kindergarten age and it's patronising.
Hah! Great point.
