    VIDEO SUMMARY:
    --------------------
    Join me, career expert and award-winning author, Andrew LaCivita, for today's video on a job interview tip guaranteed to get you hired!
    In this video, I'm teaching you one of the slickest, most-powerful job interviewing techniques you’ll ever find. Bold? Sure. True? Yes.
    It’s the ultimate technique that literally ensures you get hired. It’s super simple to remember. Even easier to execute.
    But, rarely do job seeker’s ever try this because, honestly, most people wouldn’t think to do it. Most job candidates are too concerned with sharing their credentials. They’re concerned with showing off their past.
    They want the employer to believe they can do the job well-because of their experience. If this is you, you are completely missing the point of the job interview.
    The best part about this video is I’ll show you how to tap into the most powerful motivator any interviewer has about wanting to hire you.
    You will own it. They will love you. And, you’ll show the job interviewers a brighter future when they hire you.

    I watched almost all your job interview series before my interview with a multinational company of my dreams. I was up against internal candidates and I had no prior experience. This particular video helped me to focus on what I will do for the company instead of what I had done before. I painted a picture of their future with me even when I felt I was thrown off Balance.
    Guess what?
    I got the job!
    My recruiter let me know that she made up her mind to recruit me right away as she already could see herself working with me. She couldn't get me off her mind.
    Thank you so much Andrew.

    Andy, Andy, Andy!! I started watching you in August when I was going through some tough interviews. I had four interviews with a great company and they had even sent me an email asking for the email addresses of my references so they could actually shoot them an email to set up a phone call. Labor Day weekend passed so I gave them until Wednesday (this was a full week) before I did a follow up. The lady from the “Talent Department” actually did me the courtesy of a phone call where she told me they had hired within!!! I was heart broken and since I know she didn’t speak with references I honestly didn’t know what to believe. EVERYONE told me then it was the end of year and to just wait until first of year!! Well I continued studying with you, watched your video about how December was a PRIME MONTH, GUESS WHAT????
    I SCORED ANOTHER EVEN GREATER POSITION BECAUSE OF YOU!!! You are magic, your fired my ass up to stick with it when others were being LAZY yet I was on a mission because “Andy said December was a GREAT time of year” And YOU WERE RIGHT!
    I knocked it out of park, slammed a home run and can’t thank you enough. I used the online book because my hard copy had not arrived and I think YOU ARE THE MAN!! I’m going to be the best employee this company has ever had and I owe it all to you. Offer letter signed, start my training (sales position) on January 14th.
    Happy New Year and sorry for long message.

    The decision whether they will hire you is made within 5 seconds of meeting the interviewer(s). My mother was an interviewer and knew within seconds if the person had a chance. Her best advice was to think of an interview like it is a date. If there is no connection between you and the interviewer you have no chance.

    I am mostly happy with my job and my pay, received a healthy 35% pay increase when I started here 5 years ago. However, I was put in contact with another employer last week, who expressed interest in my skill set (engineer with some specialized certifications and training). The job posting for the new prospect indicates at least another 40% increase in my pay, when I land it. I used Andy's resume template and submitted it this weekend. About 8:30 Monday morning I received an email asking for a phone interview. So, before my phone interview today, I listened to Andy's tips and tricks for several hours. Sadly (lol) I wasn't able to use hardly any of them. The President, who I had the interview with, was so anxious to sell me on his company, that I could hardly get a word in edgewise. I'm happy to report that on Friday they are flying me to meet the team and said they would have a written offer for me. Now I need to brush up on negotiating. Thanks Andy!

    Love this question, absolutely nails it:
    If I or anyone were to take this job - a year from now, what specifically will the person have accomplished for you to know that it was successful?
    There's a lot of textbook basic questions like: Is this a new role or filling a vacancy?
    That's probably too generic, interviewer might be thinking "how does this relate, exactly?"
    "new! ok what else you got about the success of this role specifically?"
    or
    "... vacancy, but I'll leave it at that. thanks for asking though (not really)"

      STAR interview is the DUMBEST approach...If past predicts future HOW COME most mass murderers never HAD that history, do their rottenness in towns that NEVER had any history of such thing. Humans don't ALWAYS act the same, and that is why you have school shootings, movie theatre shootings. People going postal right now aren't having history they are REACTIVE to the environment, and no two environments in work culture are playing out the same. What you WANT is flexible, creative, ADAPTIVE folks picking up the cues and moving forward in our fast paced world. But HR are the laziest folks ever, imho, they don't know HOW to decipher what a contributing employee looks like. Recruiters find quality folks, HR refuses to HIRE those folks and you have companies DYING cuz they will NOT recognize talent.

    Your unique perspective on handling interviews is something I haven't encountered before, and I'll definitely incorporate your advice into my approach. Recently, I graduated from nursing school and experienced my first professional interview. The situation was far from familiar; I found myself amidst four supervising nurses, which was quite overwhelming. I don't want to experience that level of intimidation again. Here are some of them, I have to admit I froze up on question #3. I felt like it was a trap lol.
    1. Where do I see myself in five years?
    2. Name a situation where I made the difference in a patient's visit.
    3. If I can change something about myself what would it be?
    4. What was my favorite/profound part of clinical?
    5. What can I do to help implement safety to patient care.

This also demonstrates an avid interest in the employer and the job. Also, be confident! Convey the attitude that you can do the job.

    I’ve been wanting to comment on this video for a while. I watched this video before a final stage job interview 5-6 months back, which included a meeting with the VP of Engineering. As soon as I met him I took out a mini book with a pen and asked “Do you mind if I take out my book to take some notes?” - I guess that was the first surprising impression.
    Then as soon as he started asking some of my projects (that required explanation) - I explained a short brief intro about it, followed with how I could use that project’s concept and experience to build something similar for them that they wanted.
    Simultaneously I kept taking rough notes (that I couldn’t even recognize).
    I even added the question at the end of “What does success look like to you after a year?” . And guess what, he didn’t have a concrete answer. I was applying to a web developer role, and he answered something that kept revolving around IT, Basic server management and etc, and even asked me if I would be okay with staying up over-time if required to do IT stuff. I agreed, and after the meeting was over as soon as I reach home I get a call from the HR with an offer!
    I can say that this DOES work if followed the RIGHT way, measuring the conversation and the depth of the question asked.
    Though I didn’t accept it, but this is tremendously great advice. Mind you, that different companies will have different hiring processes and they are looking culture fits, types of attitude.
    There was another great tip from a different video that I found useful of reading job descriptions on different roles that tells a lot on who works with who.
    Thanks Andrew!
    REQUEST: Could you please shorten the length of the videos and get to the point faster? Please leave the promotion of the books in a different video where you explain in depth about the topics. Probably I’ll order one!
    Thanks!

    I've been to a few job interviews lately. They seemed really impressed with my answers to their questions but the next day I always seem to get an email that says sorry but we've hired someone else. People tend to hire other people who are like them. And I've yet to meet a hiring person who reflects my personality. You can have all the job qualifications you want, but unless you match the hiring person in personality you won't get hired. It's in our nature. It's how we make friends.

  • @abrajean9634
    @abrajean9634 4 года назад +17

    Andy, thanks for the great videos. I love your ideas for questions, such as "in one year after you hire this person, what will that person have done/accomplished to know they are successful?"
    Personally, I would be stunningly impressed if I were the interviewer, but I have had interviews where that kind of a tough question throws them. And then I leave them feeling uncomfortable instead of thrilled with me.
    One question that often gets that response is, "What have you not heard from a candidate so far that you were hoping to hear?" The response I often get is, "That's a great question..." Well, indeed it IS a great question, and yet, they seem to stammer through an (unprepared) answer and feel awkward.
    I fear that few interviewers could answer the question about what does success look like in a year. I would bet, from my real-world experience, that few if any interviewer would have thought that through before listing the job or interviewing. They may like that I was able to confidently expose their own weakness -- and enjoy that I challenged them; or their egos might not be that strong, and then I end up rejected because they felt less than stunning as an interviewer.
    I have a few other questions that get me this response as well. Do you think there is something to be said for reading your interviewers? If they seem inexperienced (which is often the case for me because I'm a lifelong individual contributor, and thus not always in interviews with the seasoned execs.)
    I am SO experienced in job hunting and interviewing (not necessarily proud of that) that I literally critique their interview skills rather than worrying about mine. I don't tell them this, but I have experienced feeling more prepared and articulate than the interviewers. I think the best thing to do in this case is to NOT ask the tough questions, even though they should be considered a good thing. Choose to make THEM feel like the winner and the smart one for finding YOU, regardless of their lack of preparedness. I mean of course, if you still want the job.
    Thanks.

    I never thought about asking the interviewer that question. It makes so much sense when you think about it. They never ask you about how would you handle a situation like (this) and it's amazing because it's true they always seem to be wondering more about your past. I think it's because it's part of their "let's ask this question to disqualify this person quickly" instead of "let's check and see how much this person can help the company. They do it backwards in my way of thinking. But also, on the other hand most interviewees don't realize that both sides are interviewing each other. For example, I would be interviewing the interviewer to see if I want to really work for them. I want to know what "They" can offer me. I know what I can offer then and I want to know if it evens out for the both of us.

    Just came across your channel and immediately subscribed. Last year I interviewed with a great company made it to the third out of four rounds, including a one hour test (which included essays, spelling, and math) for HR position. I was told I would hear back within the week but did not. I called in spoke with the person I interviewed with last who would also be my supervisor. He said they decided to go with someone else. I asked if there was anything I should brush up on that would have given me better chance. He said no and encouraged me to apply again to future opportunities.
    Several months later I applied for a receptionist position made it to first round phone interview but not even called back. I know this is lengthy, but not getting the HR job really took the wind out of my sails. It's been difficult to bounce back. Any suggestions?

    Hey Andrew, absolutely love your videos! They’re so informative! I do have some reservation about the number one question you ask the interviewer “If I was to take this job, a year from now what specifically will the person have accomplished for you to know that it was successful” - my gut feeling says that question is too bold, too overconfident. Why would an interviewer reveal their cards on what they’re looking for specifically to be successful? Could you be putting them in an awkward position expecting them to answer a question like that? I dunno. I’d be too nervous to ask a question like that. Maybe it’s because I lack confidence. I could be wrong, would love to have your feedback. Thanks for your videos.

    must admit . . . . . at 17:00 what Andrew is describing is spot on perspective. I was answering exactly this type of historical,behavioral probing by the whse GM. i replied with my background story answering to their probing. this same context was repeated by another manager in the interview. finally the 3rd manager flipped the atmosphere by describing the purpose of this questioning. the prior person in this position i was advocating for had continuously failed the responsibilities in question. Where Andrew nailed it was drawing this line of questioning (which seems baseless as he explained) to the bigger picture where i am pushing my strengths into their concerns where they can see me supporting these demonstrative needs. I failed to do this aptly enough. game over. that was a good call by Andrew starting at 17:00.

From last two years I was applying but no luck. In June 2021, I came across your videos and started applying methods and mindset you described. Till now I got two interview calls and one offer even when I am non-EU person. I want to eventually transform my career into entrepreneurship, I feel your guidance is invaluable.
