1. they did not read your covering letter or cv, some assitant or hr had a glimpse, but that's it. They probably printed your cv 5 min before the job interview. Most likely they have a role to fill and 10 other applicatns with similar skills - if they like you they will hire you,.
Hello. As a man, living in Russia and studying foreign languages, i want to express my gratitude to you for such an informative content. In Russian part of RUclips there are only grammar videos and something like “how I leaned English”. But the work you’re doing greatly helps me to improve my communicational skills and to look at the language I study „from inside“. Thanks a lot, keep it going!
Hello from Ukraine, bro💪
2023. Thank you for this. Between 2019 and 2023 I was able to progress from 1 job to another growing both in experience and knowledge while advancing to bigger and better companies all solidified from past jobs. This Video has helped me many times in preparation for interviews with future employers. Thank you. Thank you Thank you.
- How was your job interview yesterday?
- Well, I entered the office, found a man sitting on a large black leather chair with feet resting on the table...
He pointed towards his Laptop, asked me to take it and go outside, then come back and try to sell him the laptop.. He thought himself as actor Leonardo Di Caprio of "The Wolf of Wall Street" movie..
So I took the laptop and left..
- Left...!! Then what?
- Nothing 30 minutes later he called me up... begging me to return his laptop to him coz all his work and important documents were in it..
So I asked him: *Will you buy it ??*
and he called the cops and you got charged for robbery. and humanity lost faith in you. and I'm so frustrated with my life I just came replying to random comments ... I need a job :'( I'm smart and friendly .... this is killing me so bad
marinddaaa Awesome
@@backbencher497 i need a girlfriend ..and a purpose in life ... i feel your pain ..i feel your pain ..

This is by far THE BEST video on how to answer the question "Tell Me About Yourself".
It explains:
1) What interviewers REALLY want to hear.
2) The main points you should include in your answer and in what order
3) How to deliver the answer (Duration / Tone of voice / Gestures /Attitude)
4) and most importantly an ACTUAL EXAMPLE!!!
Interviewer: "So tell me about yourself"
Me: "Well...I was born at an early age..."

Few months have passed by since I last saw this, and I got what I wanted !!! I'm here to thank you, good sir. May you get all the best things in life. MILLION THANKS.
I saw this video yesterday and cleared my first round. sending lots of good wishes to whoever has interview. You can do it.
Manjari Rahul Kumar my interview is Monday! 😃
Thank you
I have an interview next week, tell me about yourself is the most challenging part for me, but watching this video made me relax a little bit. wish me, well guys.
The way you start and end the answer was amazing. Another thing, You cover many perspective in your answer. Thank you so much for helping us!
Thank you for your practical advices. This has been a question I never knew how to answer and as a consequence I realize clearly why I failed so many job interviews.
This video said a lot (not the joke), I really enjoyed watching it, the presenter made it clear ... formal & informal
He is like my Father giving me a detailed instructions and inspirations coming from his heart,that's why i love this video.
I follow this channel now for a month and this guy is a real teacher. So well spoken..
This is the second of several of your videos I planned to watch in preparation for an upcoming interview. I must admit that your information isn't JUST for interviews. Your tips for the 'TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF' question are applicable everywhere. I learned more in a few minutes here than I did in a weekend at the library. Thanks again.
OMG. In the final example, you totally nailed it. I got a huge idea about how to start & how to end. Thank you so much. Keep teaching us with these.
I like this guy. English is not my first Language but he speak very clearly
when you introduced yourself I was clapping for you man
The BEST example by far of how to respond to this question!! Thank you!
I got hired! I downloaded your video, watched it on the day before the interview and a few minutes before that too. Thank you!
Love your advice! I always hated the “tell me about yourself” question but now I have a better idea on how to answer it. Thank you!!
I have an interview in an hour, and binge watching your videos to help with nerves. They're so helpful!
Wow, what an amazing example of how to answer "tell us about yourself" question. Thank you.
2 minutes top chrono, his example speech.. Nice and brief
Beautifully described .. I hope I can use this one
You are my best tutor ever. I have learned numbers of missing points that i have been misunderstood for ages. Big thank.
This example is so smooth and blends the personal and professional soooo well!
I'm watching this right now as I have a phone call interview this evening. This episode really turns me on and I'm working on reorganizing my self-introduction.
Big thanks from China. Great day and good luck to myself : )
FYI, “turns me on” in English usually means you’re saying you’re sexually aroused. Instead, say “piques my interest” or “speaks to me” or “is relevant for me”
Thank you for the video! I just got a job as an ESL online teacher and I did exactly as you advised us and it worked for me! Thank you so much! :)
Thanks, I got the job.
This was my second interview!
Frankly, it didn't went that way strictly. He just saw that I love to work with software (I'm a civil engineer) from the first question and we started talking about that and the current state of BIM and Hydrology studies. The conversation was really good and fluent, having this conversational basis helped me alot!.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I watch heaps of your videos last night and had my interview this morning. And guess what, I GOT THE JOB!!!! After 100 plus resume sent online and 20 unsuccessful interviews!!Thanks so much! May you continue to inspire and help everyone! 🙏☺️❤️
I just watched this right before my interview and guess what????
Interview that takes maximum 10 minutes for all before me took about 30 minutes when I entered.
It turned out to be a conversation between them and I.
They actually asked how much of a notice I need to give to my employers before I quit.
I think I got the job 🕺🕺🕺
Really? very interesting, I need to practice this for my next interview.. I consider myself really good at job, but as good when I try to impress with my short pitch apparently..
Dear Gideon, you are really a good communicator. It's a pleasure stay to listen you! See you next video 😊
It's a pleasure to read your comment see you in the next video.
Doe b
Got the job just because of watching your videos!!!There were 2 rounds and I just got the appointment letter now!Thank You!!!
To be honest... You gave the best answer I've ever listened to about this tricky question! Chapeau
I watched all your videos on interview and I got the job. The first interview got me the job. Thank you. Your channel brings luck! I think it's your confidence, humor, and playful attitude overall. On interview I looked laid back, positive, and asked them only one question - "what's your company's vision?" They said they fell in love with me ))) Thanks again!
That was an outstanding video! The example answer at the end gave me a good sense of what needs to be said and about how much time to say it. Thank you!
Thank you. Your comment is outstanding.
He didnt tell an example actually
@@rllrll9512 Yes he did...
Very helpful! And love YOUR eye contact! It's just like you're talking directly and earnestly to me!

Thank you so much for your video. I have gone for so many interviews and I never got a call back but the one I went for last week actually called back to offer me the job! They said that they really feel as if the students can benefit from me and it’s all because I have kept in mind everything you have said in your video. Thank you sooo much again!!!

6:42 I've never worried about my Grandma during an interview.
I came back to this video a few months later to show it to my partner this particular comment. Still laughing!
I was once when Grandma was going for an interview, she didn't have good grammar.
Brilliant video and content. Extremely useful lesson to learn. I know I’m going to remember to use this information not only when asked at job interviews, but on meeting people throughout my life. This is a hugely important lesson and I’m eternally grateful to you. Thank you so much!

What a good timing to find out this video. I shall be able to tell a mini good story about myself. Thank you.
Thanks to this amazing teacher I finally got a Job. You are the best.God bless👍👍👍❤
Exactly this question has been my worst nightmare for over three years. One day I finally proceeded to convince myself to go to one competition in english conversation and this was the very first thing that they had asked me about. I'll tell you this, I failed it miserably. Thank you pal, the video has helped me a lot, especially the part when you are showing us an example on how to solve this. I'm just hoping that this shit is never going to happen to me again :D.
Hi there, after 100% following your advice, I got the job :) Big big thanks!!
congratulation!
Outstanding idea... No idea can be more effective and fruitful than that of you...
