This video will share with you five things you should never say in a job interview. You must be careful in a job interview to make sure you know what to say and what to avoid saying. Most people screw up their interviews by blurting out things they never should say and ruin their chances for moving farther in the interview process.
Some of the examples I used in this video or things I say might not be true for you, so if they are not true for you, I'm not telling you to lie. I want you to be truthful and at the same time I don't want you to stick your foot in your mouth.
I always suggest to avoid saying negative things about your past boss or company. Even if your boss was terrible, I think it's better to find one honest, true and GOOD thing you can say about him/her.
If you walk into an interview and start trash-talking your boss, your interviewer might think that the problem is with you and not your boss. but like I said, even the worst people usually have one kind thing you can say about them.
1. Don't talk bad about your company. Don’t talk bad about the people. Don't say that you didn't like working there; no matter how it comes up.
2. A lot of candidates go in and they're so desperate to work at a job they'll say, “I'll do anything. It doesn't matter what it is; I'll do anything.”
Now, these are usually people who are not employed right now (maybe they've been out of work for six to nine months, maybe even two years) and they are desperate for a job and they will do anything.

It's truly amazing that we hire people based on their conversation skills alone. A resume and educational background should be weighted more. Socially akward introverts who know a lot about their career always lose to bubbly extroverts that know nothing.
This is so true.
Well personality and the ability to communicate effectively is huge for many employers. Depends what the job is. Sales or customer service this will be something very important to employers. Tech jobs in a room by yourself, not so much.
@@candysmith8724 What isn't said here, that I've found to be true with most tech-oriented companies I've interviewed with, is that the job of staffing and interviewing qualified technical people is given to HR personnel, who rarely understand the positions they are tasked to fill. Often they are working from instructions which are no more than a checklist filled with current-year market buzzwords. The opportune thing to do is ace this preliminary HR person's screening, because invariably a second meeting will be forthcoming where you will get a chance to interview with an actual techical team member or project lead- the problem being, this 2-step hierarchical approach to interviewing tends to screen out EXACTLY those people who tend to be the best at doing the detail-oriented technical work: the socially awkward, just like the original commenter (phoenix.vette) suggested.
PS> this experience (of mine) is from 10+ years back; navigating HR 'hiring personnel' in interviews _now,_ is the stuff of nightmares.
True....The best liar in the American BS domain will pass..
So so true!
“I have many hidden talents”
“What are they?”
“I don’t know, they’re all hidden..”
Haha, i bet they're tell u to keep hiding at home.
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol!
Slap shot! Bass Drum!! Snare Roll!!! Cymbal Crash!!!!
At the beginning of a job interview, when they started asking tricky questions, I asked the interviewers if they wanted a sugar-coated diplomatic answer or an honest answer because I am a straightforward person who always prefer to talk facts. Described about the politics played by the sycophants who always got the promotions and raises where hardworking few of us were being demoralised all the time with the previous employer. They were very much impressed by my straightforwardness and got the job for the bold approach. So, there is no one-size fit for all concepts, and also, not getting that job was not the end of the world for me.
You are right. That's actually the key: Not caring if you don't get the job. It's not the end of the world. When you overthink most of the time it backfires and you seem too unsure and insecure. And they sense that. Just be still and calm.
Don't be honest most of the time, bro! It will not work for you and will backfire! It's all a freaking game with employers, hiring managers and corporations, in general. It's great if you don't need to lie but in the real world, the bullshitters and narcissists control the companies you work at, and they created the rules and politics, and they expect you to bullshit and play their game, as a good little boy or good little girl should, in their view! This is the part that sucks and why we should try to have our own business and be our own boss!
Emma Bunton: Well, I do not believe that either!
When you go to an interview you are really interviewing them. Is this the kind of place I want to be around. Tell them straight, honestly and truthfully. If they don't like those wonderful qualities then they can stick it up their ___.
Honestly, I think I would jive better with a company who respects that. It makes me wretch trying to dance around with diplomatic grey type answers.
I COMPLETELY disagree with you on #4. As a former hiring software engineering manager, "I don't know" was a very valid answer. As soon as someone starting BS'ing me on something, they were toast. I would walk up to the whiteboard and start sketching things out and watch them squirm. I never expected a candidate to know everything and being honest with me was worth much more than claiming to know some trivial technology that they could learn on the job. It is valid to say that you aren't familiar with something and then maybe inquire about the topic and possibly relate it back to some other experience you had (you mentioned this tactic) and that is fine and works well but don't try and BS the interviewer.
I'm a software engineer that has reviewed many resumes and interviewed a dozen or so candidates. It's always refreshing when a candidate can honestly say "I don't know" or "I'm not familiar with that" instead of trying to bullshit their way through an answer.
I judged the interviews similar to how one of my college professors graded his exams: If you answer correctly you gain 1 point, if you don't answer ("I don't know") you get 0 points, but if you answer incorrectly you LOSE 2 points. (Basically, don't state something as truth unless you know for a fact it's correct)
@@chronxdev Yes, I completely agree. "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer. The answer to the next question is also key... "Ok, so how would you go about gaining that knowledge?" Depending on how they answered that would tell me if they were the kind of person that was easily stumped or if they had a bag of tricks to figure it out.
I have said many times that being good at something is knowing and being honest with your limitations and experience set but also knowing how to grow. As an engineer and hobbyist handyman, "I don't know" is perfectly fine but then I buy a book, ask an expert, read an article, watch a video, etc. and before you know it, I do know. That's the key.
I'm looking for my first web development job, so I'm sure I don't know a lot, but I'm hungry to learn!!
@@adelina7 I've been doing this for over 25 years and won't pretend to know all of the answers so yes, you don't know a lot. That's ok though. If someone is interviewing for an entry level position then they should expect it. I would spend some time though studying the technologies that you are interested in, working on some little projects, etc. Also remember that "I don't know" is a valid answer but be prepared to answer the follow up of "Ok, how would you go about finding the answer?" Good answers (in my opinion) are to Google it (have some favorite tech sites ready like StackOverflow, etc.), asking a colleague/mentor, reviewing a book, etc. Many managers are more interested in how you go about learning then what you have already learned. Everyone gets stumped and they don't want an engineer that sits idle and can't more forward when they are stuck. Good luck!!
@@rhoonah5849 thank you so much!!
I loved my last job but had to leave due to a vision problem...couldn't see myself working there anymore!
This was dumb but funny.
Smooth 😂
💀
Dont blindly comment then😄
Honestly thats so charismatic it could work lol
"So, tell me about yourself."
"I'd rather not. I really need this job."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my God
😂
Used your techniques and got a management job!
Nice!
I recall being interviewed once when I was looking to leave Urban Outfitters b/c I hated that Company and the way I was overworked and Underpaid. My Interviewer asked me why I wanted to leave Urban Outfitters, and I recall saying that the Company I was working at was getting ready to Shut Down in a couple of months and I was ready to move on in my life and do something else! That interview ended up working b/c the boss liked what she saw and she Hired Me, and I was there for 5 years until I lost it do to the pandemic. But after 2 years after I was let go, the Company recovered and the boss Immediately called to ask me back, so I've been back for a few months!
25 years ago I decided to look for a job in pipe organ building, since I owned one I decided to take classes in woodworking to build a facade for it, I did that after visiting a builder and asking questions about the best avenue to go- woodworking or metal working, he said woodworking is 90% of it, so I took woodworking classes non credit at a local college.
When I had my project about half done, enough to take pics and show my work, I posted photos on a pipe organ mailing list (that was the pre facebook etc era) and said I was looking for a position. Two companies asked for a resume, so I sent both a nicely put together pocket folder with the resume, and several photos attached to it inside neatly.
Both asked me to come for an interview, both were a good 1200 miles away, so I got on a cheap flight, the first one paid for a motel room for me, interviewed with them the next morning, and they took me to lunch, but I didn't get good vibes, the bosses etc all worse suits and ties and everyone else dressed like warehouse workers, I felt a distinct "class" difference and I didn't feel the interview went well at all. At break time a bell sounded and everyone stopped working, and exactly 10 minutes later it sounded again, and everyone went back to work, I got a "we'll let you know".
I rented a car and drove the about 4 hour drive to the 2nd place, this one was very different, I arrived in the late evening and stayed in a guest bedroom at the owner's house instead of a hotel, next moring was all the touring, interview, lunch and being driven around the vicinity to see the town and nearby.
So near the end of the day the owner and foreman and I sat in the owner's office and he said; "So, when will you let us know if you want the job?"
I moved out 2 weeks later, they even covered my actual moving expense, and Ive been there 25 years now.
Amazing! These are the employers with hearts of gold. The ones who truly value their employee's talents and the wonderful contribution they make to their "team". Not hierarchy.
The key to nailing an interview is to always remind yourself that PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE TRUTH, THEY WANT VALIDATION!!!!!
one doesn't exclude the other.
yep
Yep, just make sure to include a bit of a theme or context on top so it sounds like you've got experience.
Greatest comment ever
I couldn't agree more!
Interviewer :"What is your motivation to work in our company?"
- " I was always passionate about affording food and bacame very accustomed to live indoors! "
Hahaha love this!
Best comment
😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot like this comment enough!
LOL!
I've only ever had a interview once in my life, it went horrible. I avoid any job that has a traditional interview system, the only reason they want an interview is to see how well you speak and communicate, and to test your confidence. But that basically means the introverts with amazing education & history will be more than likely pushed aside over an extrovert that did well in the interview.
Also the question: Tell me about yourself, needs to be abolished. Work is work, I don't want my employer knowing about my personal life. Everything they need, they already have on the CV that was sent to them.
I get that in certain job roles, the interview makes perfect sense, but say for an example a minimum wage job asking 'why do you want to work for our company over x' is such a dumb question that will always be answered with a lie.
“Tell me about yourself” isn’t a question about your personal life
Tell me about your self is basically “tell me how your experience benefits this company?”
I always tell my niece and nephew that the number one criteria for getting hired and promoted or hired for the next step up is be liked. Be good looking, tell people what they want to hear, and pretend you love everything about the company ESPECIALLY your coworkers and your boss. Your skills and actual hard work are secondary and can even trap you in your position if you are too good at what you do.
So in a nutshell:
- Never be honest.
- Tell the interviewer what they want to hear.
- Put on a charade.
Got it.
Yes, bullshittery does work, I was too honest in my last interview not long ago, yes you guessed it, I didn't get it, so the next one that I get I'm just gonna lie my head off and tell the interviewer everything he/she wants to hear so they can tick those boxes.
Not sure about the first one: Never be honest...
But the others, yes, EXACTLY. If you don't feel comfortable with this, you're not going to get the job.
You HAVE to tell 'em what they want to hear. 👍
"I have no gag reflex"
@@yoteslaya7296 what the hell
@@jamesmacleod671 it's been a month did you get the job?
Interviewer: ' What's your biggest weakness?'
Candidate:' Honesty.
Interviewer:' ? I don't think honesty is a weakness '.
Candidate: 'I don't give a sh*t what you think. '
My weakness is that i have high standard and not most people is on that level that brings to a conflict but i always smooth things out. Your welcome
😂
This made me lol 😂
I love your answer. I want to say that in an interview but I won't get the job.
🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate that this video doesn't only tell you what not to say, but also tells you what to say instead.
When Don Georgevich says he will reply to your email, it is true. After sending him an email, he took the time from his busy schedule to coach me through my job searching process, and as a result of his advice, I am on my way to landing a high-level position within a reputable organization. Thank you, Don, you are a great coach and mentor.
How much did he charge
He does indeed seem like a great guy.
Sometimes a person can be nervous at a job interview and not do well in the interview but be a very excellent worker
That’s me
Same with me
That’s me
And me. Years ago I got so fed up with interviews I decided to work for agencies, got temp positions and they often turned into permanent jobs and no interview needed. Although I’m an introvert there have been some interviews I have done exceptionally well in and offered the job but then I’d freak out because I knew I was just ‘acting’ and the real me just wants a job where I’m in a room by myself and I only speak to people when I choose to but I’ve given the impression I’ve got a sparkling personality and go-getting attitude 😬
My case
If they ask you if you smoke DON'T REPLY WITH "smoke what?"

Lol!

Thank you for giving us advice on how to be professional liars! Congratulations on the world that people like you created
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think he’s responsible for the way job interviews work 🤔
@@nevisnebis1207 exactly
It's part of the problem for sure. It's much easier to get a job by knowing someone. It's never about your skills.
@@nevisnebis1207Reading comprehension is not your forte
I love how your advice is so simple, powerful, and applies to pretty much ALL jobs out there, from chef, to it guy, to stock trader. You manage to show and explain the hiring process from the company's perspective in 10 minutes. Insane. The best 10 minutes I spent today was watching this video.
"Where do you see yourself in three years." " Celebrating the third anniversary of you asking me that question!"
😂
Hahahaaaaaa
I see my self improved in this position and greater responsibility,. Your welcome
Conky!

1. Don't bad mouth anyone you've worked for (even if it's warranted)
2. Don't be desperate! Don't say "I'll do anything" tell them what you WANT to do for them.
3. Don't JUST answer the question, tell the story. Don't say what you did, say how you did it.
4. Don't say "I don't know how to do that" or "I've never seen that before" rather, say "let me think about that a moment" then connect to something similar. Don't be afraid to circle back to something... once or twice at most.
5. Don't ask them what their company does. You should know the company prior to the interview. Research them in advance. You can, however, ask for details about particular aspects of the company that interests you.
Good summary. Thank you
May God bless your soul
Thanks, is it me or do you have to watch RUclips on 2x. 😂
Thank you, great summary
In short: don't you dare to be anywhere close to honest.
Greetings from Germany
I recently had a job interview where I was repeated goaded into why I wanted to leave my current job , I tried to keep it positive but finally revealed that there was some “sketchy “ things going on that I did not want to lose my CPA license over . I have a hard time not being brutally honest and always have .
I had a similar experience, I’ve learn to say the management were doing u ethical practices and I didn’t feel comfortable working under their guidance anymore even if I greatly enjoyed my job … seems to work
Same experience here. I tried keeping it as positive as possible and they wanted to drag it out of me. Interviews are nothing more than just a one big bullshit segment. Honest people don’t stand a chance.
@@anaruiz6036if you’re applying to a company which operates with the same values as you. If not, you’re not getting hired. I get that it might be better to not work for such a company but this is about avoiding saying things that will disqualify you from getting a job. Saying what you’re suggesting is risky.
This is one of the most on point interview clips I have seen to date. Thank you for being so genuine and giving me so much to think about.
It's hilarious to me that honesty is bad in a job interview...admitting you don't know something shouldn't be a bad thing. Isn't that what training is for?
Well,in my country employers offer shtty jobs and ask x years of experience.
@@EspadasYCopas that's every country...
I cut the BS in interviews now and they found it refreshing and hired me
I always try to be as honest as possible. My philosophy is if they don't like it they're not a good match for me anyway.
Or admitting the job environment was toxic at your old job? I feel like showing you're honest would be best but I'm not an "expert"
Love how you have to manipulate and twist words and truths to make yourself presentable enough to hire. Cuz people don't actually want honest hardworking folk, just people they can manipulate. Absolutely love it here.
Any boss you'd actually WANT to work for will appreciate honesty and transparency - this is advice for becoming a corporate shill and hating your life, not landing a decent job that might actually make you happy.
Absolutely - You have hit the nail right on the head. A lackey is what companies are looking for. Maximum hours for minimum wages and will to take any nonsense the company puts out.
How true
I'm really confused about these comments...
For many people, that IS the goal: becoming a corporate shill.
Go work for the right company, with the right culture. There are plenty of them out there.
Gosh, I'm so disappointed by these comments. Find the job you love to do with the company that treats you right. Getting through the interview is one of the first, most important steps, though.
@@WaltDittrich I think we just have different ideas. It's not that I'm against being a worker, or even being loyal to a company/business. I don't find "corporate shill" to be an honorable title, nor do I aspire to be one personally. I intend to be self-employed in the future.
The number 4 one I take issue with. I understand from an employer's point of view that they don't want to hear that someone "doesn't know", but frankly if I were to lie, or to dance around the question and end up rambling, it would inevitably come back to bite me.
I am always 100% honest in life, and therefore in interviews... Maybe that's why I'm struggling to get a job 😂😭
not suggesting you lie, just try to come close to their needs on another level
I agree with the presenter. You don’t want to say I don’t know and leave it at that. You can still say I’m not familiar with that but I have done this and this that is similar to what the interviewer is asking. And then assure the interviewer that you’re capable of learning and k doing the task. This isn’t lying, this is showing that you understand what the company expects and that you’re prepared to learn more about it.
You should say "I don't know!" because you will not know everything pertaining to a job! Don has great advice but this one, #4, in IT, in my field, you have to just say you don't know and that's fine with the hiring personnel! IT is an every day evolving field and not knowing is super normal!
In other words lie.
Basically
@Nkaeey not entirely, ask your self - was it the people - or the circumstances?
That’s not what he’s saying. If you work at McDonalds and people are looking for someone with a manufacturing background you can say you operate pieces of equipment that make highly specialized food that our customers love. And you operate a microwave lol. It’s all on how you sell it.
5 things never say in Interviews:
1. Don't complain about previous company - Say everything was fine, but I just want to start a new journey.
2. Don't say I will do anything if you're desperate to find a job
3. Don't say I am quick learner, team player - Say that with examples in how to exhibited those traits
4. Don't just say I don't know about it totally - Just connect some dots to that question with some of what you know.
5. Don't ask them what your company is doing - It shows your lack of preparation of job. Instead, ask about CSR Activities if they do.
TLDR;Pin this
Thanks
What also can I ask about company?
GREAT comment. Point on #1, this is the one I personally have the hardest time with- During a period of job-seeking, it is easy to succumb to fear and stress, and hard to maintain a positive outlook. I find this one item in your list is probably the best advice. It shows the interviewer that, no matter what hell you may have experienced in your last employment, you are resilient and can put a positive face on things. 🙂
Thanks.
Saved me a lot of time cause I have an interview soon. Thank you.
It's like a first date - don't act Needy, don't harp about your ex, etc.
Right
yea i think it is good to act like you really dont need the job and you interviewing them.
And most importantly, don't get too drunk.
🤣
@@novadhd I never get interviewed, I always interview them!
Some great advice here and agree with most of it. Although, I work in recruitment and have done well over 1000 interviews. If I ask someone if they know something and they don't know, I want them to say so. For me it's just not an issue. I appreciate honesty. What I don't appreciate is someone getting shifty giving a long winded BS answer.
Always imbelish! Nothing wrong with a little lie, it's about getting the job period!
Omg I appreciate how frank and straight forward you are in providing this information. I had an interview last month and did not get the job. In retrospect it was what you described not discussing what actions I took to get the results. I appreciate you…😊
0:22 #1 Don't talk bad about the previous company.
2:27 #2 Don't say, "I'll do anything,"
4:13 #3 Do talk about what you are (fast starter, etc) tell them what you have done, not what you will do.
5:38 #4 Don't say you don't know how to do something.
7:44 #5 Don't ask, "What do you do here?"
Thanks for saving my time. That’s all what I wanted to know, I still like subscribed to the channel.
1 year ago, You saved a generation. Your name will live for ages
I applied at McDonald's for the fun of it and started my interview off with "So what do yall do here"?
lol
You just saved me ten minutes. ☝️
Thanks
Q: What's your biggest weakness?
A: Job interviews
Ok because literally
and you can add : but i've improved a lot by watching helpful videos plus books -- and as a result you'll hire me! :)
That is 100% the truth.
:(
I said that at my last interview. X.X declined application. T.T I chocked.
I said that once in a job interview and the interviewer just laughed. I got the job.
never talk about your personal life. you will be instantly judged. managers will asked the simplest questions to try to dig into your private life. always be extremely vague. steer away from their nosy questions. people are nasty and look for things they can use against others.
Great information, this was very helpful. I've tried several of these and they absolutely work. It's not lying unless that's what you choose to do. If you think so lowly of yourself and your skillset, background, and experience to lie in an interview then keep on moving the way that you have. But don't ever wonder why you can't get too far in life.
Interviewer: "Why did you apply to this job?"
Interviewee: "Because I need to survive."
Finally, someone else who sees the absolute bullshit interviewees have to say when the simple truth is. “I need a job so that I can pay for basic things like food and shelter. Maybe even some hobbies so I can forget how much life sucks for anyone who isn’t a billionaire.”
Honestly, my response to that would be "you don't need a job, you need a serious reappraisal of your life, your perspective and what you're about. Get out of this office and go find yourself a church."
"Not good enough. Next"
@@alexanderfretheim5720 I don't see how any of that is supposed to help me buy food and shelter.
@@spreadwuvokay Not too hard to understand. The less you want, the less you need to get. You could even wander the woods as a holy man, a self-denying ascetic like the great Hindu tradition.
I sent a thank you letter to the interviewer. She called me a week afterward saying that I might not be the most qualified for the position but she appreciated my manners and respect. That is why she hired me. She remembered me saying I didn’t have a lot of experience in the particular job but I had been in the field for a very long time and If given the opportunity I wouldn’t let her down.
I have a different experience with thank you notes. When I sent them out, I could tell immediately that I didn’t get the job by their response and I almost felt like I put them on the spot. When I was on the receiving end of a thank you note from someone I knew we would not hire, it was a bit awkward and now I felt compelled to respond. I knew my response would not make them feel good. I can also tell you that a thank you note in my profession will not get someone the job or give someone an edge. If I was going to hire them anyway, then it was a nice touch, but it didn’t make a difference in the hiring decision. It also did not impact whether or not I got the job. I did not send a thank you note when I applied for my current position. I think at one time many years ago it was a unique gesture and might have given someone an edge, but I think they are unnecessary and don’t really make an impact today. I would be curious about what others think.
@@Chris-tg3qy you are so correct. I always send thank you if I have their information but I don’t expect anything to come of it except to check all my boxes.
I also realize that no response to a thank you email within 24 hrs of receiving it is a sign that they moved on. Even a “thanks for coming in, we’ll be in-touch” is pleasant to receive.
My recent interviews did not do the best in presenting the position and digging into my experience. I was shocked that even with my resume I hand they have no idea about what I have done.
👏👏👏
@@inthedark7059 This was my experience with human resources departments and hiring managers in general - even with my résumé, I got the impression they didn't have a clue how to screen for the position(s), and were unsure how to evaluate the skills and experience detailed therein. I chalk it up to the disconnect that exists between different departments in the companies I was applying to. Sometimes that's a blessing in disguise.
Stealing this....Thanks
One of the best interview coaches I have encountered so far on RUclips. A lot of guys are just doing talking, but your contents are making practical and pushes one to think more..
I got my second job teaching on the basis that I told the headteacher I hated the school I was in - I think it is fine to say you disliked working somewhere as long as you qualify it. I told them I didn't like working there as the regime was too rigid for the kids. I got hired on this basis primarily.
I decided to resign to my job to pursue anxiety full time.
Hahaha why did you describe my life
🙈🙈😭😭🤣
I felt that
😪💯😂😂
That@s the spirit! I wish you great success in your venture!
I think most interviewers decide to hire you or not based primarily on whether they like you initially. This may be a quick impression of your appearance, demeanor and personality.
I agree.
No I think it depends where you’re working at. This is quite a shallow minded comment KAREN
Unemployment among the ugly freaks has soared to 19%.
Looks and personality can only get you so far. If you suck at the job you can still get fired quickly.
My last interview lends credence to that, unless I am misjudging the interviewer.
This guy is straight up honest and clear. Thank you…
Your videos are the best. No fluff, you get straight to the point.
I have a group interview tomorrow and am nervous abiut it, so thank you for the tips.
A thing not to say in an interview:
"I just watched an interview training video on RUclips."
Good luck
Haha so funny 😂

_"5 Things You Should Never Say In a Job Interview"_
1) The truth
2) The facts
3) Reality
4) Honesty
5) The obvious
This is spot on.
OMG... boiled this video down perfectly! LOL 😄👍
You are absolutely right!
Most companies get things done by bullying it's employee's which is why they hated the jobs they were in,
which is also why they are now looking for a new job now,
while the future employer is probably going to do exactly the same thing, and doesn't want you being able to stand up for yourself; He or she will only hire you if they think that you'll take there sh1t. 🤔
All of those things I am, I am an honest person. I don't blow smoke up peoples ass. I don't lie. And thus, I'm 7 years without full time work.
Exactly because they will fire you over anything anyway never give you 2 weeks before letting you go, work you hard and expect results even if the results are inferior , and want you to be a company man or woman. Your just a line on an expense report. And if you don’t believe me... you haven’t been let go from enough companies that went bankrupt like I have.
I recall a shortest interview I had when I was young.
A fortune 500 company director called me, said he needed a software consultant.
Went for the in person interview. First question was, Do you know so and so.
Yes, he's a cheat, a liar, and a drunk. Why do you ask?
He said, he's in charge of this project and he recommended you. He's also my brother in law.
Thanks for coming by.
There were things I didn't like about my prior leaders, but when I started highlighting their positives, it made me feel better to have the experiences I did with them. I started seeing the lessons learned and value we both brought to the relationship. This is so much more useful for everyone than focusing on the negatives.
There's a saying I heard at work recently. "The world runs on bullshit!" Which has pretty much been confirmed with this video.
I agree. And it is everyone's decision whether they want to participate and add to the pile of BS or not.
They should recover all the gas from the shit smell and burn it for fuel.
What ever corporate level employee finds out eventually. Then you just bs your way through it all and drink yourself to sleep every night.
Makes me miss George Carlin.
If you’re at work than why are you here...😂
1) 00:20 I didn't like my company or my boss.
2) 02:25 I'll do anything.
3) 04:10 I'm a self starter or a quick learner.
4) 05:40 I don't know how to do something.
5) 07:45 What does your company do?
Good reminders. Thank you for listing these for us.
Thanks, hopefully people scroll down first, I didn't see this comment until after I watched the video
HEROIC!
Kent St I’m always looking for you good samaritans. 🎈
Kent St We’re SO grateful for amazing posts like this 😭
Well done Don, telling people how it is without remembering a thousand things before an interview. Good tips, thanks.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your valuable wisdom with the world!! Precise and to the point tips and information. The world needs more kind souls like you that share valuable information. Schools do not teach these skills. Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤
I got hit with the greatest weakness question. I responded that sometimes I'm so focused on my work people feel as though I'm not very social. I don't stand around at the watercooler gossiping about pop culture. I keep my head down and get my work done.
It immediately was used against me in a negative manner.
I asked what was the major character in the candidate they were looking for, they told me someone who "talks to everyone". Lol
It felt like such a setup.
As an introvert it’s hard cause you could be a good worker but if you don’t talk to everyone you are looked at as not a good communicator it’s stupid
So are you actually saying that job simply wasn't for you?
...I'm preparing for an interview, and I think this is the most awful question to be asked. It certainly isn't a 'think on your feet' type question, so many interviewers will ask it, you have to prepare your answer beforehand. I found your story helpful in clarifying my approach. Since my original response I realised you played a risky card, you said something which you really felt was a strength where they were asking for a weakness. What's your weekness - I work hard to get the job done... no way is that a weakness. The 'text book' answers usually involve a self-help solution where you come up with some trivial weakness but immediately follow it up with 'but I'm joining AA so you don't need to worry, I won't turn up sloshed every day' (maybe not perfect example ;-)
@@jleeeechy the job was. The interviewer was not.
typically you want to spin on how you fix your known weakness and then tell a story about it.
The easiest one now is struggling to maintain a healthy work life balance; since your home is now your work in many jobs.
Then some honesty on how to make sure a healthy balance was done by setting up a designated office space, turning off phone at 6pm, yada yada, etc... End goal on being more productive overall with a model that fits into any given company culture.
Honestly speaking, when I started breaking away from the usual *interview tips* and started being more transparent, I started getting more offers. You have to find a better way to communicate it that’s really just it. I told my current employer that my old employer had a hostile environment and that’s why I was leaving. I even got like a 40% pay increase with this job
Exactly
I agree that if someone worked for a company I KNOW is a toxic workplace (reputations get known among other companys and competitors), and they come into my interview and say "they loved it there", I would be extremely worried they would bring that culture with them into my company. Either that or they are a Patsy who floats through life without any principles and convictions....or back bone. Granted, I am a Ph.D. and a strong sense of right and wrong and being firm in my convictions was drilled into me during my degree programs. If someone was shown to be a bendy willow-tree, they would often not pass their orals or comprehensive exam.
You can also say something like "the workplace wasn't a good fit for me"
How do you rephrase the bosses did things that were borderline illegal? So when Covid hit you say a way out. Stayed home to watch the kids for a bit and are now looking for work again. It was the worst work environment. No teaching, left us in dangerous situations and then did stuff that I did not feel comfortable with at all.
@@DonGeorgevich youre agreeing, but your first point was to not speak negatively about your current/previous employer. I agree with this guy and just being transparent. It has always served me well.
Excellent video man honestly glad I found you , also to others who have been through hell with asshats trying to ruin your life because your life is better than theirs, don't let it discourage you from looking for a job, never give up and always remember through darkness the true light will always be revealed by true friends staying by your side. I know nobody cares but I'm thankful for a wonderful support system as well as true friends and a wonderful fiancé.
I'm glad you found me, too
One way I used to get people to talk passionately was asking about their favaourite hobby and the details they can give me about it. It is an eye opener!
1. In almost every interview I've had, I've "complained" about my previous company. Yes manning the job you just left lets the interviewer know you're lying straight through your teeth. You didn't leave the job because life was perfect.
The key is to do so tactfully, tell them exactly what convinced you to leave, or interview for their position over the job you have now. Maybe you weren't getting enough hours, "They didn't have enough work for me, so I'm looking for more." Maybe your boss was an absolute basketcase, "I didn't agree with management well enough to be productive in their environment."
All negative things about your last job can be spun in a neutral/positive way. The key is to not be negative.
Never bag them I would say. Spin it so it looks like you were too limited there.
Nah I've interviewed for jobs before while working in the same industry they asked why I wanted to leave I just straight up tell them the boss is an idiot and I can't work for someone like that
Not everyone looking for a new career or job hates their current or previous job. I love mine, but want to leave the city and get a higher paying job. While I don't plan on mentioning the more money part at my next interview I won't be lying when I say I am moving to a smaller town I will actually enjoy living in and for that reason I have to leave my current position.
@@maliroa6113 I've always phrased it something like "This job looked interested and challenging. If there is an opportunity to also improve benefits and pay, I'm going to give it a shot...maybe I find something I like better than where I'm at now". I've only had 2 interviews where I've not gotten an offer.. Sometimes it's less than I'm looking for, and we part ways with well wishes on finding their ideal candidate.. but I'm not that guy.
yes, but if you say that there were not enough work for you, the might understand that they wanted to get rid of you or that you were not able to do many tasks. You know, they see the ghosts between the lines that we are not aware of.
I was asked in an interview for a supervisor position at a place I already worked at, “What makes you qualified for this position?”
I answered, “Truthfully, I might be the least qualified for this position. However, you will be more than happy with my performance.”
They were impressed by my honesty.
The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I walked out of that interview as a supervisor making $8 more per hour than I went in.
How exciting 🙂🙂🙂🙂😀
I'm trying to make sense of that phrase 😆
Don, you are the best resource for giving good advice for interviewing and resume structuring. I have given your links to many of the veterans I have helped to find work. Your principles are awesome! Thanks!
I have an interview at my dream org tomorrow and you videos are so incredibly helpful and reassuring. I want to come across as confident, valuable and friendly- not desperate, even though this really is my dream organisation. Thank you for your content, Don. You're incredible.
Me too
You know why companies have an extreme problem with high turnover rates. They want to hear future employees lies about why they left their last job.
Thank you
It sucked, that’s why!
You're probably correct. If people told the truth about why they left their last job, then the company wouldn't hire them now.
Q: "Why do you want to work here?"
A: "I don't recall ever saying that I did."
This is exactly my thoughts when they ask this stupid question
If I was HR I'd hire you on the spot for that epic answer.
😅😅😅😅
A: because it is near my home so I can save fuel money and go back home at lunch time...hired!!!
@@kizitohemanmwenelwata8159 You might have just volunteered to be the guy that gets asked to hop by the workplace and do some small things.
Lie in your interview, so that you can get the job and then get fired in the 1st week when your employer realizes that you, aren't the same person he/she hired. Fantastic advise. If you are wondering what an actual hiring manager might think if he saw this video, I will tell you as one myself, that I look for honesty, drive and ambition, if I find out a candidate lies to me because he thinks he is telling me what I want to hear, he will have no chance at being hired. I don't care how skilled or qualified for a job you are, you throw all of that out of the window if you are a dishonest person.
True! Many companies hire unqualified people. You have to lie. I never lied, and did not get a job. Of course I never complained about my previous employers since I have have nothing to complain about.
Totally agree! Thanks for posting this!
As someone who has never had a job and has zero confidence and low self-esteem, this just confirmed that im not fit enough to live in this world

There is nothing shameful about trying to figure out how to solve your problems. Everybody has them. It is how you are dealing with them that is important. Certainly, trying to solve an embarrassing problem (like making a mistake during interview, consistently) shows you are mature enough to try to spot and solve some other problems. The worst type of employee is one that thinks he/she is better than everybody else, doesn't have to improve and assumes it is everybody else's responsibility to learn to cope with him/her.
Funny
This is the best out of many on RUclips I've seen.
Thank you
The world is a cruel place, and some of us spent our whole lives never passing interviews. Social skills are incredibly important, and bypassed people like me, unfortunately. I never learned. It ends up being who you meet and who you know... sadly.
"Social skills are incredibly important, and bypassed people like me".
this is so right on, especially if you're an only child, like me.
Never ceases to amaze me the parallels between dating and job interviewing.
i've been comparing the two for over a decade and they are so similar.
I hate both.
The Metalhead 😂👍
The company I worked for last year just asked me back. Thank goodness.
@The Metalhead damn I suck at dating so maybe that's why I suck at interviewing also
I think it’s ok to be authentic and say “I’m not familiar with that” or “that has never come up in my current role or past experience”. No one can know everything about everything. It may be a way to tie it to “what’s your weakness”. Ppl appreciate honesty (to a degree) and authenticity. Not “I am so desperate for a job that I’ll tell you anything you want to hear”.
Yea but they will think the job is not for you, the question they ask relate to the job at least that's probably what you should assume.
@@AR-dr1sb they won't, at least from my experience. It's better to tell the truth that you don't know something than trying to beat the bush while trying to hide the fact. Either way they will notice that you don't know something. However if you are honest about it at least they won't thing you are trying to lie your way in.
I had a few technical interviews there I was asked "do you know what X is?" or "do you know how to do X?". If I had at least some understanding I would tell what I know, otherwise I would just say that I did not come across this topic yet.
Exactly
I once answered it "I would need to learn that part." (An aspect of the job I had never done - but was otherwise highly skilled for the job). I got the job. Simply turning the question around so you can answer in a more positive way - i.e. willingness to learn - sounds much better than "I don't know how to do that."
Exactly. I just answered honestly two days ago about not knowing and still got the job offer today lol. Authenticity.
I was looking for a video that would inspire me and this one has. I’m just going to binge watch your videos now for my interview on Monday!
I once got a job by admitting I did not have certain very technical competency and would probably need months to aquire it. Later I learned no candidates had but I was only one that was honest about it. Boss was honest guy and appreciated it, liked working for him.
I freeze up in interviews and can’t complete a sentence my brain freezes
Keep practicing And go on as many interviews as you
^^^ real words of wisdom. 🤔
We shall put you facing our customers and their tough questions
Find a CV company or govt agency that can provide advice and dummy interviews so you can practise.
In addition to keep practicing, consider hypnosis. In my early work life, I needed to be able to type 45 wpm. I failed a number of times. I tried hypnosis to see if that would work. After a few sessions, my typing speed went up to 150 wpm. I've known others that have used it to overcome blocks like yours. Good luck!
Lmao " you have to hold tight to your values"
Now just say these 5 lies 👌
😂 So funny!
Exactly, cognitive dissonance in full effect
That's funny as hell. But notice he never said to lie. He said to pivot to something you actually know.
Thank you Don ! Great video and book 💯
Interviewer: “Any last questions before we finish?”
Candidate: “Yeah, when is my first day of vacation?”
Haha, I'm sure more than 0 have actually said that. If you have a unique skill set that is in high demand and have legit multiple potential offers, I could see that but that's usually best saved for the second interview or before signing the offer letter.
I applied for a job the day after recognizing sexual assault in my recent past, during the interview the interviewers asked me what was something difficult recently that I’ve faced in my life and how did I overcome it, I was very much in a vulnerable state of mind and couldn’t help but to talk about the freshest thing on my mind, the sexual assault… I cringe very hard thinking back on it, but I did get the job and it’s an amazing job
No that's okay he Actually wanted to know any difficulty you went through in your life . So I guess that's an appropriate answer
I had something similar happen to me. I did NOT get the job. :/
I said I beat an alcohol addiction. I didn't get the job.
At least u got the job 🤣
Recognizing? How’s that work
I always use the 80/20 rule in interviews: 80% truth and 20% lies. It worked.
gotta love 80/20
Adam Mada hahaha 😂 smart you
This was very helpful and I enjoyed how humble, direct and helpful you came across! Admirable ... thanks!!
It was my very first job and I was extremely introvert. The interview was painful. Two of us were hired, the other candidate was extremely extrovert. We were told one of us would go to sales and one personnel. I was convinced I was heading to personnel but no! They put me in sales. Low and behold I thrived and grew and was promoted in six months.
The hiring manager must have known something I didn't
very nice dude 👍
Now THAT is dooope. I love it!
very cool...good for you
Congratulations!
are personnel and human resources just two different names for the same department? I used to hear the former earlier in my life, just hear the latter now.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you're in the software development field NEVER lie about what technologies / frameworks you are unaware of. A single technical question and you're busted.
@Ray Sagastiano how about you a honduran fckin swimmer son of a gun?? Go get a lige and grow up !! Wanna challenge? Pm me, i challenge you for any muda fuckin thing you want...any thing !
Doesn't work if you need a license or "card" to operate something or be somewhere!
You should still never say "I don't know how to do that" and leave it at that. Did they ask if you know the Foundation framework? Say "I don't have any experience with that, but how similar is it to Bootstrap?" or "Not yet, but I was able to pick up on the Semantic UI framework at my last company and was confident using it within a week." Every interview question is an opportunity to build yourself up so never drop the ball!
Did you finish watching the video? The video never said you should lie about it, he said you should never say you don't know and leave it at that. He said you should always try to relate it to something similar that you are familiar with. There's nothing wrong with doing that.
I once worked in IT for one of the Big 4 Banks here in Australia. The night before the interview I brushed up on their network management system. Very old technology I had learned at 16 in my first job - I applied for an IT traineeship & won. After 4 months of intense learning they chose 4 of the 40 candidates for positions. Pre Y2K I needed a contract asap so after an intensive cram session, I was able to discuss the short comings of this platform in the interview. As I was able to demonstrate a current knowledge of the Platform I was able to start asap
I am fascinated with your way of presenting all the possibilities of questions and answers in an interview, and the clarity and concrete way of saying it. Tnak you Don.
many thanks
The only exception to #1 from my past:
I started at a small group in the research space. I really loved the founder's vision, and the way he spoke about what we did made it exciting to come to work every day and help make that vision a reality. A couple years later, he unfortunately passed away; and the person that replaced him didn't have that same vision, and in fact changed the direction of the group drastically. Because of that change in vision, it was like working for a completely different group, and I no longer had the same passion that I did prior.
I explained that in a job interview - about how it was unfortunate, but I was (because of the drastic changes) no longer working towards the mission that drew me to the position in the first place, and I really fell out of love for the group.
I ended up getting the job.
I feel like that still kinda counts toward #1 because you explained how much you loved the group before, before segueing into the circumstances which forced you to leave.
Interviewer: -"Why do you want to work for this company?"
Candidate: " I applied for like 300 companies and you are the only one called back ,I don't even remember applying for it , I have no idea what the position is , like seriously man get real"
Interviewer: with dramatic music 🥺🥺🥺🥺😢😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
Happens...happens
Literally me I applied for something but I didn’t even remember what it was, so I didn’t even know what to say…
Honestly I've had a similar experience like that. I applied to numerous jobs and got a call from one that I applied to like 3 or 4 months ago and was like "wtf? Why they call me this late?". Utter rubbish tbh.
Hahaha this happened to me and I told him the truth. I applied at like 200 places but I needed to pay bills asap
I would like to add "I don't have a car" is something that will lose you a job in an interview, even if it has never made you late or miss work.
It’s quite possible. It depends on the company
If they dont ask no need to tell if you have or dont have a car
So true. I let slip last week at an interview that I use public transportation (I have epilepsy and am not able to drive) and immediately the interviewer let me know he "wasn't crazy about that fact". Regardless he still was cool enough to push me forward to the second interview. Hopefully it goes well and they can look past it. Ive been out of work for close to 2 and a half months.

I chuckled at don't say you didn't like the boss - I've been a self-employed photographer for a few years and now I'm kinda sick of the hustle and want the stability of a steady, regular income. These tips are helpful to me as it's been many years since I last went through the job interview process. I'm almost tempted now to say "I didn't like the boss" - the boss being me. lol

I think a big one that you missed that i learned the hard way is to never mentioned any entrepreneurial activities or side hustles. Companies want you 100% committed to their work and their work only. Any additional things you do isn't considered a positive, but instead a reason you might leave quickly.
My boss fired me because I asked for a day off so I could register for night classes at the local college. In those days, you had to register for night classes during the day and there was no Internet so you could not register online.

I agree with a z. I have worked in Management for 35 years. I'd rather hire someone who is honest about their bad experience in a previous job, than hear some BS they tell me thinking it's what I want to hear. I look for strength of character and integrity over loyalty. I do not want a group of fearful pleaser's kissing my butt. I want a strong team who will challenge me if need be. And to be honest, as soon as I detect that someone is "just telling me what they think I want to hear", it's over. NEXT!
Happy to work for you ..I too hired managers who challenged me but either I convince them technically or they convince me..but once agreed..they need to comply
@@granand One more thing, and then I'll get off my soap box! LOL If you go for a job interview and you tell the truth about a bad experience in your previous job, and they don't hire you. Trust me, you did not want to work for them anyway! They are staffed with a bunch of back stabbing, two faced weasels! None will take the blame. All point to the others. Because they lied their way in. Hold your integrity people. There is still room for it . I know things have really gone to crap.. But you will find a job where truth where truth is a good quality, and you will be respected for it.
God any positions open ATM in the Mass area. I Like the Cut of your Jib. It escapes me how companies don't see that hiring a bunch of kiss asses does nothing good for the org in the long run.
35 years experience in "management" and you don't know there's always 3 sides to a story? Your side , their side, and the truth. You don't EVER talk bad about a previous employer because the interviewer can't know the full story. That's a huge red flag. Fucking RUclips managers lmao. You keep it professional and when you get to know your new boss and he gets to know how you are, then you can tell him.
@Ursula Mae : Indeed and you do not want to work for them.
Yes! Avoid anything negative during the interview.
agreed, but some people really like to trash talk their past boss or company and for some reason think that will benefit them.
Don Georgevich true! Sometimes I wonder if candidates try to play the sympathy card with showing how terrible their company is and why they will need to leave.
@Itty Bitty Glad to hear that you haven't! Unfortunately some do and it doesn't end well.
These were great questions and answers. Thank you so much.
Thank you Don for your time abd efforts to make these videos for us. I know it helps me out a lot!
Me: i need a job asap..
Interviewer: can you start Monday
Me: ok you need to calm down..😂
One time I actually absolutely honestly said that I love what I do but I quit my previous job exclusively because of the employee that had bullied me at work non-stop and the management hadn't done anything about it. As you understand I didn't get that job. But I was hired by another company where I have been working for over 5 years by now and the management loves me and I love my job and I am trying to do my best. It's sad though that honesty isn't appreciated so basically the interview shows your acting, ability to show off, ability to hide unpleasantly looking details and even lie trying to look better than you really are instead of admitting unpleasant things had actually happened to this person and he could do nothing but leave. It's very sad to see this approach in 2021.
I absolutely can relate 😢
I agree
Exactly. The problem isn’t the candidates. I think candidates should be allowed to be honest. Sure candidates shouldn’t go on and on about some situations, then it turns into a Dr. Phil show instead of an interview, but they should be allowed to be honest without the recruiter and hiring manager automatically assuming the candidate will cause trouble or “claim” to be the victim. Simply, they shouldn’t assume the worst and focus on the strengths of each candidate. The goal should be to find the best candidates for various positions, not try to disqualify each one. The candidate should be praised for being honest, not awarded the job based on acting ability. If that’s the case the purpose of the interview should be questioned and then adjusted. I think the interview is an outdated way to screen candidates, but that’s another topic.
You can always spin that experience into how it made you do good things. It's up to the interviewer to choose which part of the story they find more interesting! You don't want a boss who doesn't really like to see reality and how humans transform bad experiences.
Sometimes, your honesty will get you away from a toxic environment.
Why they don't hire you if you were a victim of an office bullying or sexual harrassment? Chances are they can't solve what's going on in their workplace too... hence they let you go to protect you.
I once got to ask by my contractor how to get into the company I am working for. I honestly like him, I said... don't ever come in, they are sweatshop.
i liked your vibes bro very natural aspect i liked your know how and wasn't forceful or manipulative. Great content and delivery BRO! I am gearing up and preparing for a great job interview. Doing some research on the company foresay. I wanna put my best foot forward!
This is a good video, I appreciated it. My job search is a bit different over the last few years, I have been working while also learning other industries and how they relate to work I have already done; no organization is perfect, and I have truly gained insights from everyone I have come in contact with at work and beyond.... I am very grateful and I also understand the value of humility as well as matching your skills and acumen with appropriate roles. The disconnect between volume of availability of roles and skills is not always easy to transcend. But, over time, the work helps.
My last two jobs hired me for my honesty and lack of sugar coating the answers.
What answers did you give?
More importantly, what were your last jobs?
