    In this video, I’m talking to you if you've been asking yourself "Why can't I find a job?" or "How to get a job?" or "I can't find a job". You are looking for job interview tips because you just can't seem to be the perfect fit for the jobs that you do get interviews for or you have thoughts that you are not good enough, and your job search strategies are landing you zero interviews or job offers. You are someone who lacks career growth and potential because you don't feel confident about yourself and losing hope. If you've been asking "Why can't I find a job?" or "How to get a job?" or "I can't find a job" I'm here to help.
    Specifically, I give you 5 potential reasons on why you may not have landed your dream job offer yet and what to do to fix that:
    1. Looking for a job has become a chore, no longer an exciting endeavour.
    2. You place all your hope in the next job interview you get called for and feel disappointed when it doesn't work out.
    3. You feel, very simply, that you're " not good enough".
    4. You're not expressing professional presence.
    5. You're feeling desperate rather than excited.

    I disagree with number 5. If I seem desperate for the job for which you're interviewing me, that's because I am! So are a LOT of other people in this horrible economy. Desperation to land the right job doesn't mean I would be terrible at the job. In fact, it probably means the exact opposite. Look at me versus somebody who is cocky and expects to land any job he/she wants with no trouble. Which of us do you think will end up working harder for you and doing a better job for you?

    Number 2 happened to me a couple times. The first job I interviewed for last month after graduating was really cool and I had an amazing interview but for some reason, they never called back. The Hiring Manager all but hired me on the spot. He told me to come back next week for training... and nothing happened. The same happened another time after that. I have come to understand that the level of enthusiasm they show in the interview doesn't really amount to anything, so I do my best but I don't put an obligation on the employer to do anything anymore. I learned to accept that I may not get hired even if I have all the qualifications and had a great interview. It's just the way the world is.

  • @ruthm5413
    @ruthm5413 6 лет назад +48

    Linda, I love your videos - they are extremely informative and concise. I have been unemployed for 11 months now and have to put on a "happy face" during each interview and treat it as a new adventure. I do tell stories describing how I've solved problems for companies and also bring samples of my work instead of simply "telling" them my skills. I do smile frequently and am upbeat, give eye contact and ask questions. Yet, I am still convinced that there are "gray areas" in HR hiring practices. Companies may already have an internal candidate in mind, but make you go through the arduous process of interviewing a panel of managers and come back multiple times. Also, many job descriptions specify 3-5 years of experience with a college degree. This practice is clearly geared towards attracting a younger employee right out of college because they will work for less money and will not likely retire for a few decades. So, what can a seasoned employee do when nobody wants to hire them?

    Was fired in July and got another job quickly. Was laid off. Got another job a week later and now been unemployed since August due to being laid off it’s now December and just got notice my unemployment is being cut off in January. I’ve had an interview at least once a week and still no call back. I went to our employment help services here and took an interview class... they said I’m fine. Very personable and confident. I really don’t know why I haven’t been hired...

    I think I am experiencing a bit of burnout myself. It's especially frustrating when you are with a good company for years but constantly denied position changes/promotions. Maybe I need that week long pause. Do you think there is a degree of favoritism that goes on in the job market and you basically have to know somebody who knows somebody who is a door opener? :\

    These are all things I struggled with. I resigned with my previous job feeling I didn't do good out of it and I've been feeling scared to look for a other job and apply thinking I'll repeat the same mistakes again. Also, been resting for a few months because of it and getting turned down by a company I really liked just a week ago. I'm surrounded by the mentality I'm never gonna find a new job and is afraid to even apply. This is a really insightful video that has perfect timing. I'll think about these things deeper and formulate a plan. Thank you.

    Reason #6: When the interviewer sees that you've already quit 4 previous jobs, and been fired from 7 previous jobs in the past 2 years, it gets pretty hard for them to see you as a good candidate to fill the position.

    This lady mentions the problem of not seeing your job search as an exciting endeavor? I have never heard anyone say that being unemployed and having to search for a job is an exciting endeavor. I just do not see that situation in someone's life, actually mine right now, being some exciting thing. I agree with her five points she talked about but just not the exciting endeavor part. It's not. It's frustrating, emotionally draining, stressful, a drag on one's self esteem and self efficacy and all the while, one has to fight all of that internal stuff and at least appear to be confidant in an interview. It's a challenge from the get go....not an exciting endeavor from the get go.

  • @silverbaal
    @silverbaal 5 лет назад +1

    So I've been having some ups and downs looking for a new job. I recently had an interview for a Marketing position with a top tech company that took a few weeks. One week I had a call with their Cali--based recruiter. A few days after I spoke with their NYC-based recruiter. A week or so later I had an person interview and met with the NYC recruiter and had Skype interviews with 3 other people. THEN, that Friday or the following Friday they also had me do a video interview with 2 other people I'd be working with. I followed up with one person, who directed me back to the Cali person...Who called me back a few days later and told me I didn't get the job. Even though everyone seemed to be impressed with me, I just didn't have the experience that other candidates have.
    On the one hand, it feels great to have been chosen for an interview with this company. That does great things for my confidence somewhat. But then it sucks that I didn't get the job. I've been getting some interest here and there...I'm waiting to here back from one company about the final interview I had 2 or so weeks ago, and I am in the process of the first steps of a Marketing Coordinator position for one company and a Content Development Internship at another. I've been contacted about an Editorial Writing Internship that ended up not being a fit for what I expect from a position financially.
    I've been working on my brand for some time...Making sure I have a decent social media presence that amply showcases what I do. And it seems to be garnering positive results with some of the companies I'm applying to. But I know that in order to really impress any/every company that comes across my resume, I need to make sure my next role is full of opportunities to build KPIs for organizations. I want to be able to say that as a result of content I developed, links had an average click rate of 60-80% for social campaigns or email, etc etc, an average of 150 likes or shares, etc.
    I have similar metrics for a company I worked at as a content writing intern a few years back, but I really need to push those results much farther. I need my next opportunity to give me the creative freedom to develop and market content, as well as work within established protocols, so I can really build an even more impressive resume. It's disheartening to be so close yet not close the deal on my next job yet.
