You are definitely right - a big red flag is if you go through 2 interviews post screening and they want you to keep going. Your first interview should be with the hiring manager, a peer of theirs and maybe a subject matter expert they rely on. After that it should be the hiring managers boss and it should end there. If a company can't figure out this is the person they want after discussion with those people, the company doesn't even know what they are looking for.

They kept saying that wanted someone with my background....turns out they hired an internal candidate who didn't have my background....so it was kind of a waste of time. Given the manager's behavior during the phone interview...it probably was just as well.

Hell, I had an interview over the phone where the guy asked me if I had a copy of my resume up as well so we could reference it. I appreciated that.

I worked for a company that had the so-called "unlimited vacation" policy. It turned out it was just their way of getting around employees accumulating unused vacation time. After the same company merged with another, they announced that they would look at the benefits of both, choose the best ones, and that's what we'd get. What they meant by "best" was "cheapest for the company."

Well they are honest. Best for them and sucks to be u

I recently accepted an offer where the outside recruiter called me, and had actually read my résume. After an initial call, my next call from the hiring manager, followed by an in person meeting. He asked me what my salary expectations were, and advised that the range for the role were higher than that. On my way home from the interview, the recruiter called to say that the company would be calling the next day with an offer. They offered close to the max of their range, which was already higher than I was expecting. The best thing was that when asked, the hiring manager told me exactly how the role opened up in the first place, and how I would be able to grow within the role and beyond it.

Got an offer that I liked and accepted it. Already got a few certifications that the company paid for in less than 2 months.

1:05 is on the money. If they mess you about during recruitment process or after you accepted but before you signed contract (or before you started) this is most likely their general MO.

Great video! Yes, always look for real benefits, not stuff like “we have an ice cream day”.

Company I currently work for I was kind of iffy about the salary range they posted. I've been a software engineer for over 20 years. I didn't say exactly what I was expecting but they offered me way higher than I was expecting. Above the range they set. And because of my experience they started me out with 4 weeks PTO instead of 2 weeks. Benefits are great. I only have to be in the office 2 days per month but our whole team has to be there those two days. So we coordinate that around each others schedules, PTO, etc. After my first year I got 5% raise for my merits. We report directly to VP of Technology. He is so laid back... as long as you get your stuff done he don't care what hours you work or if you have to cut out early for something. Doesn't micromanage us at all. We have daily scrum meetings for the most part.

Thank you so much for the videos you create and the insight and tips you offer. I have 10 years of experience in my field but have always been in the bottom range of pay at companies. I’ve tried through the years to apply for hundreds of jobs offering better pay, but I would rarely make it past the first interview and when I did, I was offered more low ball pay. I felt stuck and incompetent in my work. After watching your videos as well as a few other channels, I completely changed my resume, and online profiles. That made a huge difference in getting interviews. I’ve been applying for jobs again for the past month and I’ve connected with several companies for multiple rounds of interviews with each. In my interviews, I started to focus on telling stories instead of rattling off stats or bullets of work I’ve done. I’ve received multiple offers that are 25-35% over my current pay and in the upper range of my field. I honestly can’t thank you enough for your help!

This has given me so much peace about my upcoming work transition. I not only got a great offer it is with a great company. Thank you for the content and the description of what a great company provides.

Property and Casualty insurance had an abysmal year last year. Only a couple of companies made an underwriting profit.

Fortunately, I have a fairly niche skill set, and I found a job at another major car insurance company within 30 days that I'm really excited about.

I just went through a very sketchy company that tried very hard to screw me over. He tried to put me in a position to where I would be desperate for work. After he thought I didnt have any other jobs lined up for this very reason. He pulls me immediately from the job. His goal was to try and have me drive 100 plus miles a day on a on call basis. He got mad when his plan failed. This is definitely a reason why not to burn any bridges. I was able to go back to my other jobs. Cant stand supervisors that play games like that.

I have a bit of a different experience in it when it comes to reading those "signs". Too smooth a process could mean there is no tech assignment or even discussion - bad! That means that your future colleagues might also be untested. You should be brought to a bit of sweat during the process. Boss very excited? - bad as well. That means that they might have been struggling to find anyone to fill in this role after the previous guy left, and then you applied - they have finally found you, so they are excited out of relief! They won't even test you, or they will say your crappy solution was excellent, just to get you signed asap.

Is it ever worth to negotiate for an extra $1,500 per year? Last time I negotiated an offer, I asked "Is this the final offer or is there room for negotiation?" And the recruiter said, "would you be willing to commit to accept the offer if I get you a $1,500 increase on the base salary?" I think it was very clever from the recruiter, it is just a bit more than $100 per month extra and he pretty much locked the negotiation. Btw, congratulations for reaching 100K subscribers!

If the offer doesn't meet your salary needs, does the extra $1500 bring it in line? Though if the recruiter phrased it like that, sounds like there is room and the recruiter was trying to avoid any back-and-forth.

Make a spreadsheet for the final wage negotiation after the actual offer, work the numbers to both annual base or hourly. Then shoot them a nice round number like, "can the company meet me at $70k?" or "is there enough room to meet at $35 an hour?" $1500 sounds like you owe someone some money. Lol

Hi, new viewer here !! Thanks for the great videos. Can you make a video on MLM (Pyramid schemes)?

Question: when working with an agency you never know how much they make off the top. As far as I know they could make as much per hour as I am making them. I interviewed recently for a project management position and I’ve never been a PM before. This would be a great opportunity to learn because it’s a unique position to learn. Thing is the pay is very low and the agency is unwilling to budge just a few dollars. I kept pushing for more but they said $41 per hour is as high as they could go which to me is very low. The role was advertised as a project coordinator but in the interview I asked that it was listed as a project coordinator but it reads as a project manager and it was confirmed that it is a project manager just a project manager one level. How do I know the agency or the direct client is not paying me appropriately because they didn’t categorize the job properly? PS - the direct client makes 10 billion plus per year. Thought that was important to add:).

I remember spending about 3 hours in an interview process, only to find that the job wages would not cover the added work they put in after I accepted.

I will say that one reason why people bank their PTO hours is so they have a bit of a "severence package" in the event they leave for a job elsewhere.

Can you make a video what chances to get a job for a external candidate (contractor working in company) or for an internal candidate?

My manager called me at 4:30 on Thursday before the long Easter weekend and said I may be outsourced soon. How's that for a good manager?

What is clearly defined? I found out during the interview that the job description was only 2/3 of what they want from a candidate. Now the salary range is not as attractive. Also, the BASE pay is below the range. They enthusiastically expressed interest in hiring me after both interviews, but...The final package is within my range, but again, I feel that they do not value my skills as they claim.

My calculation on this scenario was to set a $ number and how many months I'd give to the company. The higher they got to my target $, the longer my longevity could possibly be. If they give that lower number and not a dollar more, then start shooting out resumes after about 6 months. The new place will love to have you, at your true value. *edit for spelling

Do you have a similar video for contract work? I'm currently interviewing for a contract position, which will be converted to a full-time position after 3 months.

What if they meet these flags, but customer reputation/reviews suck?

I just got a job offer, and even though I had a good interview experience and had a good connection with the managers, I think that the workload they described is for 2 people. The last thing I want is to fail and be on the market searching again. What should I do in this situation?

Both places I got an offer from went above my estimate. It was a good problem to have that I had to turn down one of them.

I am in negotiations with this company and im SO disappointed. I interviewed with them and it went "too well" - the interviewers (3 of them) were complimenting me a lot. All well and good except, the over they gave me was low. When I sent them my counter offer, they came back saying they can't budge at all bc they pay everyone the same for the role as its entry level. I found the job posting and it clearly read that the top of their range was $5k more than what they offered me AND they take experience, education, etc., into consideration when extending an offer. Additionally, what the manager told me i would be doing didn't match up with the job description. They also kept saying that I "skipped an interview" bc they liked me so much. So they're not only inconsistent with what they post v.s. what they say, but they LOVE the value I bring but don't want to pay me what I'm worth. Byeeee!!! Im upset, though bc this would have been a good foot in the industry im trying to enter. But its not the last opportunity ill ever have.

I can't get my foot into the healthcare field and only have worked: retail, tutoring, front desk reception, and convention + uni volunteering. I do have a useless BA and AA in Chem. Seems like my only move is to volunteer for 1 year at a health organization. I might go back for my masters in Health Admin or Health Info Management, but idk if its worth going into debt again.

Back to schooling is a trap. Been there, done that.

Uncle Dave will tell you not to indebt yourself for a Master's. Maybe if you were already full bore into the healthcare industry. Otherwise you probably need a better resume, regardless of experience you have a real education.

@@nia6849 There is a degree's arms race that keeps people in debt without really raising their earnings. Glad I didn't buy into this idea and I stayed in my crappy job and invested during the last 14 years. As years go on, there is a higher probability that I'd be more financially independent far sooner than if I had gotten another degree.

Oh my, I quit my job just before covid hit, so lost a fair bit. But I started with a volunteer CNA course, then interviewed to volunteer before I could actually start volunteering got a job working with disabilities support and from there managed to get a level two then a level 3 health asst qual. It took about one and half years and lots of online work, paperwork and signings off from staff who I worked with ..

One sign that you should accept a job offer in 2024 versus 2022: you got a job offer.

I've been to a aerospace companies with great benefits but I work so much I can't even use my medical. Also aerospace companies work you like a dog or the pay is garbage.

You need to set boundaries. No one else will set them for you. While you’re at it, you could also start looking for a job at a different company.

My husband works in aerospace and although he does have to work overtime some weekends, he has vacation and sick leave he can use anytime, without question. Plenty of time to use the medical/dental/vision we pay for every month. He’s also union, gets regular pay raises, plus a cost of living increase every 3 months, bonuses, and reward points that he so graciously turns into gift cards for me to buy things for our home. Maybe it’s your company and not an entire industry?

The guy says that good companies are those that pay a lot, respect you, and have a good reputation? Thanks HOW WOULD WE HAVE GUESSED WITHOUT YOU. Recruiter with vast experience.

I see your name suits you well.

I had a job interview with Interfor and the HR gurl gave me the wrong address for the interview location. She also said the previous person had a dispute with the management so they quit. Then I was interviewed by some flunky employee who asked me questions unrelated to the position. I didn't get that job thank goodness but I wouldn't have taken it anyways.
