Can I just say that I absolutely love all of your videos I’ve watched so far. You have given me more insightful information than I have ever received in the past couple of years. Keep doing a great job and keep bringing more videos
You are so welcome! Your words are incredibly motivating! Of course, I will keep doing so and I hope you keep me updated on how things go also!
I am grateful for your videos. Once I view them, I feel more comfortable answering the questions!
I'm so glad! I am sure you'll be getting that job you want in no time!
I like how you answered the first question by turning it into a service based answer (how you could help the company) and used a weakness (inexperience) and turned it into a strength 👍
I am really glad you noticed and that you found it helpful! Best of luck with your interview and keep me updated if you have any questions! :)
Thank you, I will!
Exactly the good one example
@@MemoriesOfLife-ve1oi Thanks a lot!
This is a difficult question but they love love love asking it all the time. Thank you for the knowledge!!!
You are very welcome!
This is my favorite question. It is being asked to check your critical thinking and decision making skills. I always advice to mention not just at work but in any crisis happened in life. You answer will determine if you are going to be independent thinker or not.
Make sense. Thanks for the feedback!
Have you ever been asked this question? What do you think was "your difficult situation"?
being without a job for 6 month was a difficult situation for me
@@albertpd4994 I bet it was. I hope you are happy with your current role, always happy to read you here!
@@albertpd4994 Being jobless sucks though I wish I never had to work lol
problem solving always comes up in interview questions
I have and i give the same answer in all of my interviews about being left alone in the department for a week
Like always, once again good video for the interview, specially the example you showed
Thank you
My pleasure! I am glad it worked for you and that the example was useful. Best of luck and let me know if you have any further questions!
Great video and great examples thank you very much for this. I finally have a clear idea of what to respond to this question

Tell me how you handled a problem has been asked at least 3-4 times in my interview
First time I was caught off guard and didn't have much to say. thanks for these tips and your help
You are very welcome! I am glad you found it useful!
Dear Marat, thank you for your educational videos and professional advice. Would you perhaps be able to do a video about interview questions related to gaps in your CV, or when you've resigned from a toxic work situation? It seems to be something that future employers latch onto, always first expecting that you as the employee did not handle the situation amicably. Advice on this, and how to approach this problem in a CV and cover letter, would be most helpful.
Hi Roné, thank you so much for your kind and motivating feedback! And thanks for suggesting a video topic! You know I have already addressed a similar issue in one of my videos about Explaining Resume Gaps: ruclips.net/video/JtnaCqZxuu0/видео.html
Let me know if it gives you a better idea on what to say.
In general it's really complicated to be completely open about leaving a toxic place or a toxic boss. Any negative input on your previous job isn't going to be perceived well. But there is no point in lying either, just focusing on the positive aspects of the job, mentioning something along the lines that the direction the company/department were taking weren't alined with your plans and that you felt it was a good time to move on.
Excellent video Marat. Always helpful with your interview tips
Thank you very much my friend!

This a great and helpful video… In my last role, I was working independently as a freelance so how can I answer to this question. Could you please give me more ideas?
Glad it was helpful! As a freelance you must have had plenty of projects/moments when things went complicated. Think what you could replace the example in the video with!
You make My Day beautiful with Your voice 💕💕💕

@@myemmotion Yes i have 💕
@@dorishegenberg8914 I am glad to hear that!
Please structure this question for freshers
Thank you for this interview guide
You are very welcome!
Can we give a real personal challenge example and use STAR technique while explaining it? There is a personal example in my life which I think I have handled it very well and have the results with me related to a rare disease , took different medical approach after doing deep dive into the problem.. Result is out of the problem which is achieved by very less number of people
I usually refrain from "personal" examples, unless it is very closely related to those skills which will be used for the position. For some manager personal examples might work well but for others not at all. And also the less personal you keep it, the less emotionally involved you are during the interview.
Any ideas for an secretary I'm trying to get a customer service job
Every time i get very nervous and not in a position to say some things. I can I overcome my this weakness. I am great-full to you. secondly how can I improve my English speaking effective. THANKS
You are doing great! Thanks for your kind feedback!
