    I agree with this video however, it depends on your delivery. No employer wants to hire a robot….they want someone who has personality, relatability, and open mindedness. Therefore when they ask me to tell them something about myself, I always include something personal that pertains to the job I’m applying for. It creates more of a human connection…and it’s always worked for me. 💯

    I've used this a few times and it works really well! My only advice is to shorten your statement if possible and build achievement stories into the next few answers. Even going through the snapshot of your work history by yourself before the interview will give you a BUNCH of anecdotes to loads of questions. The first time I tried it it was very lengthy and didn't really work. Now I start by saying what I am doing currently, the job or education I did before this, a summary of my other industries and qualifications and THEN I a future statement about where I want to bring my experience/skills. "I am 26 years old, currently a team coordinator at ___. Before this I was studying __ and volunteering at ___. I have experience leading and motivating teams and would love to work more in the community sector!"
    I don't know why but I always start with my age 😅
    After this they usually ask why you want the position. This is where I suggest spoon feeding them with the "I know you are looking for someone with xyz..." statement 😊

If you're anxious, try to do things that usually calm you down. It might be silly but make sure to get proper rest and a good meal prior that way your body is physically prepared for the interview. Depending on the job, if possible, I recommend taking an extra pair of clothes. Just in case anything happens on your longer commute there. It's always a plus to look presentable. You can do it!

Former employees love to talk about the nitty gritty within their company so I would look there for anything that might be a red flag for you. It's also just good to know for yourself, but remember it can be just an annoyed employee. However, if it's a scam, someone most likely has said it on there. Hope that helps!

    What I "love" about most of the career coaches out there is that every time they give an example of people who have 10 years of experience in a certain role or industry, have won 20 rewards etc. What about people who dont have many years of experience, or have no experience, or havent won any rewards? If I have the profile described by most of the career coaches in their examples trust me I will not need a career coach to tell me how to answer interview questions... most of these videos are obviously made for managers or CEOs with thousands of years of experience and millions of awards.... What you do here is just to make normal people without rewards for their job feel even more nervous and scared of the interview as they are thinking:" Oh, no.... what do I do now? I obviously need to be an expert with 20 years of experience to answer even a simple interview question ..." I think it's very important to know your audience before making such a video and trust me your audience is not people that you describe in this video!

      @@bilaltariq7819 what I am saying here is that she is telling people how they should talk about their rewards and many years of experience... without doing a research i can guarantee you that the biggest part of the people watching this video are probably newly graduates, or pretty young people who just hasn't had the time to win all the rewards she is talking about or the many years of experience so i am pretty sure these people can't relate to what she is saying. The only thing she can achieve here is to make them even more nervous for their interview because they cannot live up to the things she describes.... instead I think it could have been better if she could give examples for normal people who are in the beginning of their career path. But actually why am I explaining this to you...?!?! You obviously know better than anyone else.... just 1 question: what does a person like you (who has obviously "a lot to show/offer" ) do here watching this video? Why do you need someone to tell you how to answer this question 🤔

When I asked them about the question "tell me about yourself" they said to literally say a few things about yourself. My parents said they dont wanna hear about what the employee has "achieved" in the past (not in a bad way); but they wanna hear about YOU as a person. What do you like doing on your free time? What are your hobbies? What are your interests? Things like that

    I think the most important thing you have to had in interview is a good positive confident energy. People can see if you’re nervous but if you’re confident with your self they will start believing what you’re saying.
    But there’s a dangerous thin line of confident and arrogant, you need to also be humble to show that you willing to learn in the new work environment.
    And I think its better to start telling the chronological work experience from your current job rather than your first job. Hell if you’re moving a lot the interview will be long and boring. Just keep short and lively to engage your interviewer attention
    Today just went to interview and got the job 😊

    Thanks, because I wish someone had told me, coming out of high school, that "tell me about yourself" does not actually mean "tell me about yourself." When put that way, it sounds like a bio answer, and to a teenager, the person won't know any better, nor will he learn any better if nobody tells him otherwise. Also, thanks, because people like to tell us how to PASS the interview, but no one ever tells us how to GET the interview. There is no passing an interview that you never got. That's like passing a class that you're not enrolled in. So, why is the person being told to study for that class? So, thanks for covering the "tell me about yourself" question thoroughly, and thanks for the "cheat sheet" to try to get the interview.
