I'd love to actually GET to the interview stage, I've applied for hundreds of jobs and gotten maybe 2 callbacks?
I know it's because I'm 24 and have no prior work history but how am I supposed to have a work history if nobody will hire me in the first place... :(
This! Like how do I get work experience when I need work experience to get even an entry-level job
Show up in person and put a face to your name. Everyone just applies online now a days. Show them why you are different. Gotta be a go getter!
Interns and volunteering
@@maddammaddtatterthefirst4837 I've tried that and have been told -- rather rudely, sometimes -- that anything pertaining to hiring is to be done online. A friend of mine always insists on showing up personally, and 99% of the time there's no one from Personnel/HR present to speak to or leave a resume with (or so they claim).
@@maddammaddtatterthefirst4837 I've done that - I have Asperger's so unfortunately my social abilities are extremely lacking, and I have severe social anxiety on top of that. I think they see my support worker come in with me an immediately write me off tbh :/
Earlier this year, I got an interview from my local library. I think it went fairly well overall, but they asked me one question that stumped me. They asked how I would explain the library's core values to someone, and I just had _no idea_ how to answer that. I didn't get the job, but that's okay tbh. Now I work literally right across from them at WalMart XD
dude, they shouldn't be asking such a question to not yet hired people, that was so stupid of them
Lmfaoo wtf
Tch, they're taking themselves way too seriously.
It was maybe a super woke liberary for pink unicorns.
That's why they have a long list of special values.
They were wondering if you did any research on the company. Before going to an interview you should at least read the companies mission statement. That’s what they were wondering if you did or if you were just applying everywhere for anything. Turn over is expensive.
A great many kids have been screwed out of a first job by parents and grandparents who who think going in and asking for an interview is still a thing.
Don’t ask for an interview as if you are entitled to one. Go in and ask for a paper application because you’re very interested in working there and want to make sure you don’t get lost in all the online ones. Even if they don’t offer paper applications, they will at least ask your name.
@@maddammaddtatterthefirst4837 false for most jobs
@@bigawesomewatermelon9511 having a positive attitude is the most important thing
@@maddammaddtatterthefirst4837 don't harass people who are just trying to do their jobs you psycho
@@maddammaddtatterthefirst4837 Yeah, you dumb bitch? Even if they have a Paper application to give you, they're throwing that shit straight in the fuckin trash where you belong, you stupid caveman.
Reminds of the time i applied for w part time position at a gas station i frequented near my house and when i walked in a week later to ask about it with the manager (because we talked all the time and she said she'd probably set up an interview in a few days when i turned it in) she yelled at me that i wasnt getting an interview because i lied about my criminal history and had an armed robbery charge. I don't, i have a clean record. So clean in fact that I'm hard to find. And i tried explaining that she didn't have the right person but she wouldn't listen. I applied at the other store from the same company down the street from this one(2 blocks away and the gm was someone who knew me since i was little) and i got that job immediately because and she chewed the other manager out for not doing a proper background check.
Reminds me of an old joke. "Ever been convicted of a felony? Yes or No? Answer No. Question Why? Answer. Never been caught.
The guy who had his mum answer all the interview questions for him could’ve had a high-functioning disability. I have the same problem where I can’t communicate with people I’ve just met/don’t trust yet.
Lack of social skills are not disabilities
@@amletomonacelli22 They can absolutely be a symptom of a disability. Ever heard of Autism?
I know it can be a disability, but if they don't want such a person working for them, they have a right to not hire them. sometimes jobs can be as difficult even for sane-minded people, and if they are hiring someone to work they don't want to work for the disabled person and them at the same time.
good luck whit your issues, when I was at my first job interview I imagined all those people like my future friends, and wanted them to think the same of me so I had an open communication at the start, even telling them how nervous I was, it helped me a lot. (also I got hired)
@@ChakkyCharizard You already said it pal, "symptom", Asperger and basically being inside the spectrum have that consequence, but "lack of social skills" by itself and just by itself is not a condition.
@@amletomonacelli22 dawg I have autism…
Me! Temped at a large company for only a week. Impressed them so much, they recommended me to interview for a permanent job in a different department. Went to interview, nailed it, but at the very end, I shared my plan to only work there for 6 months before moving to a city 300 miles away. At the end, I even said, 'So, do I start on Monday?'. I cringe now at how cocky I was... ugh.
Didn't get the job, didn't move to said city for another 4 years!
Overall, things worked out well for me because I know I would still be at that company 15 years later. Instead, I'm now an international teacher, travelling the world!
i have an interview tomorrow… listening to this with extremely open ears lmao
Good luck
@@stopboi3212 aw thank you so much!
Hope it goes well for you!
@@bkep18 Good luck
Break a leg! If you can spare more RUclips time: I recommend the channel, “Life After Layoff.” He really knows his stuff!
We had a 20 year old guy who aced the interview. This would have been his first job ever. But, he never showed up on his first day. The dumbasss thought that you could have a job, recieve a salary and never actually having to do anything. We think he didn't know that people could get fired or what that actually means. His mother called us and begged for his job back. Nope! That bridge was already burned.
My brother-in-law threw away an interview. He had the job, he just had to show up. His family name alone is all he needed. He talked about how mad he was with the last place making him sweep the floor and go back and forth with boxes. That was also a part of most of the jobs in this plant too. It might be boring but this new job was about $5 an hour increase than his last job with a more fixed schedule and less commute. When his girlfriend slept in for her job interview he encouraged her to go and explain, because employers love the initiative to go in the first place. So this girl shows up two hours late, saying "sorry I slept in". Then was shocked he didn't even bother interviewing her.
Had the complete opposite of the story around 4:10. The company used a hiring agency that wrote the job offer in our news paper without telling anything about the company that had the job. I send in my resume and papers and was invited for an interview. Once there the hiring manager was pretty angry that I didnt know anything about his company - until I pointed out that the hiring agency didnt reveal anything about the employer, only wrote the required expertise for the job. At the end he was still angry saying it would have been easy to learn the hiring company by the address ... I had a ROFL moment and told him .. "Yea totally easy to guess his small engineering firm in a house that held about 25 of them - all at the same street address.. " Think if he's that secretive about the company name (still don't know why the company name was held as a secret) I probably dodged a mid-sized strategic weapon... My best guess was : the company name is already "burned" due to bad reviews and sour costumers ...not the working environment I dream of
The interview with the mom ... My friend worked at our local labour board that supports people out of work. His special area are young jobstarters who were not hired after their apprenticeship (usually you go through 3 years apprenticeship here and then the employer decides if he hires you on fulltime). He told me laughing that especially many tough looking skinhead types were accompanied by their mothers - and the tough guys barely could open their mouth to tell their name - the mother was usually talking to the case worker.
Me: Where do you see yourself in 2 years time?
Him: Working for a completely different company doing something entirely different, this is just a stepping stone.
Did a security job at a low end apt 🏘. 2000 to 2002, Orlando FL. We had a guy 20-30yr old show up for a staff maintenance post. Fix, repair toilets 🚽 ACs sinks, etc. The wierd guy threw his bag of Burger King trash 🍔 all over the lawn. 🤦♂️ Homie was not selected.
When I was younger in my first interview I messed up cause the interviewer asked about myself and I ended up hyper-fixated on a topic because he seemed interested in one of the things I told him I liked and about 15 minutes later caught myself and apologized, explaining I get really excited about topics that fascinate me and sometimed get stuck hyperfixating on them if someone shows interest. Didn't get the job, felt really bad about it
I really see your hyperfixation as a sign of huge passion. I would've considered you for a job.
Not the interviewer
I was the applicant.
So the interview was fucked because the interviewer didn't let me talk at all and only asked me to spell my name and tell him how to pronounce my name. (I'm in the Philippines and spanish last names are common)
And the he says that I need to improve my English speaking skills... When he didn't even ask me anything
The "interview" only lasted 2 mins.
the one at 8.14 is me at most interviews
Did my last interview over the phone, was drunk and aced it. Started about a week and a half later.
My sister (who does not drink coffee) once interviewed at a coffee shop when we were teens.
Interviewer: So, would you like some coffee?
Sister: No thanks, I don't like coffee.
She then realized what she'd said but they finished the interview anyway, lol. I still tease her about that to this day.
I just had one the other day. Now I’m antsy
good luck!! you got this!
Air force parenting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went to an interview at a local organic market it went Normal, but the guy interviewing after me showed up covered in sweat, in a dirty T-shirt, shorts, and on a skateboard
Funny enough the I thought I bombed the interview because it was 30 minutes shorter than expected and it included a person that I thought disliked me. They were about to offer me a job when I called them to tell them that I accepted another job. In my defense they were supposed to get me the results in November, I was hired by the other department in January.
They probably tried hiring someone else (or multiple people) and those people turned out to not be a good fit or declined.
ME!!!
The manager asked me about how I dealt with a conflict in the workplace. I idiotically relayed the story about how me and a friend got angry and started yelling at each other.
I got home and realized what I'd done. I told my friend and she laughed at me.
Thanks for the video
My favorite chicken preparation method is chicken breasts cut in strips crumbed with sesame seeds, that’s godly, only reason I bought sesame seeds 😂
How the first one is a "worst mistake"?
Guy did a dad joke, he showed he understood the question but decided to flip it into another meaning of "punctual" and has a good sense of humor.
By saying “Nazi” in a professional environment before you meet the people I guess
joking around during an interview shows that you aren't taking it seriously, and at worst, can be misinterpreted as stupidity. and if you can't trust someone to be serious during the interview for a job they want, how can you expect them to take their work seriously?
@@msadm1225 Wait, _one_ joke suddenly can be interpreted as someone not taking an (entire)interview seriously?
They expect what?For people to be emotionless robots?They do know that once a person is employed, it doesn't mean that they will suppress their funny side all the time, right?And depending on the job it shouldn't really matter if the person has a sense of humour or not...if they have the skills and can be professional when needed then _this_ shouldn't matter at all.
Besides, it was a really small and inconsequential joke...just a wordplay.If an employer is this harsh for such a thing, honestly the guy got lucky that he wasn't hired...can't imagine how much "iron fist" style the management of such place has to be...shesh...
@@ry_an. EDITED: Ok, he said Nazi but in a different context, not the usual one.
Did the first person fail because they confused "punctual" with "punctuation", or because they used the word "Nat-see"?
12:48 were the recipes good at least? This one is rather funny! Would have laughed it of and ask the person the send me their real resume file.
COME ON, FIX THE COMPUTER GUY'S VOICE TO PROPERLY SAY RESUME (like rez-oo-may)!!!!!
Classic, he deserves a chance tho

19:22 Brooo wtf :D
That latter story with the autistic dude is pretty sad. I have to wonder how he even managed to make it to the building if he was that non-functional.
Was forced to send in an application to McDonalds to keep my unemployment. Wrote the worst I could get away with, even then they called me a Sunday morning asking me to come in at 10 for an interview. I had been at a wedding the night before, got home after 06.00, got there still quite drunk, no tears was shed that they passed on me.
Lazy
@@DDddddm653 not really. I already had a job lined up in the profession I was trained and had experience, and probably 3 times better pay, that was a couple of months away though. Hell I would have lost income working slinging burgers compared to my unemployment as that's based on previous salary.
Re 21:55 ask her how she is related to Brian Fellow of Safari Planet.
Me this whole video
"Wait, what?"
Can someone tell me what "selling m*** at work" meant?
Wow I was impressed at 6:12 when the sentence began "Which raises the question...". If I had a dime every time I hear someone misuse "begs the question" to mean "raises the question" I could retire. I was shocked that at 6:12 they actually used the correct "raises the question". What "begs the question" means is to use an argument that assumes the very thing you are trying to prove. That is definitely not what they were doing at 6:12 so "raises the question" was correct. "Begs the question" makes absolutely no sense in that context.
