So true

Everyone has to like you. That's about it. If you got the interview you were good enough to call in. I just got a job after trying to get jobs with organizations that I ultimately did not want to work for. I don't prepare, I just talk to them like real people. They can take or leave me because I know my worth. If the employer is rude during the hiring process or does not contact you with a respectful rejection, bullet dodged. In the end you wind up where you are meant to be, so it is best not to go where you are not meant to be.

Unfortunately this is also how you also end up with people who on their resume are good for the job, but virtually incompetent. They are "likable" but not not necessarily the best fit. It's not always the case. Fortunately if the interview process is done properly they will hire the qualified, yet likable, person. You can be the perfect fit for the job and if the employer doesn't like your vibe or there is no chemistry between you, that alone can eliminate you. You can interview with 4 people for the same position and it can just take 1 person not liking you to give you a "Thanks, but no thanks" email or letter.

I hate companies interviewing outside candidates when they already have someone inside.

From the start the hiring manager was being rude so when I got an email saying I was denied I wasn’t even surprised her energy was really cocky and snobby I’m bubbly and happy

It blows my mind how many hoops these companies make people jump through to get jobs that are like lower middle class paying these days. They keep raising the standards, education level, and ridiculous questions you have to answer. Its just a corny performance these days. You can thank the rise of HR for that. Plus, there are times you may even nail the interview but dont get it because they go with an internal candidate but still have to say they interviewed so many people...and put on the dog and pony show even though you never really had a chance in the first place.

Most companies are looking for people who will be the most benefitial short and long run. This rise of HR you speak of is nonsense. They like the rest are hired to do their job. If they don't deliver they will have to answer for it. In the end companies need competent and skilled people.

I had to fly 2000km to another City for an interview because they refused to do the interview online. It cost me a lot of money and time and energy and time away from my family. I was well prepared and had a great interview. They saw my commitment. But two weeks later I saw on their FB page that they appointed someone internally.

In the case of number six, I'd say that it could be seen as an opportunity to make ourselves be seen although we are not going to be given the job. I personally had this experience. I applied for a job which was already set aside for someone inside that large company. I put so much effort in that interview and it went so well that they finally hired me, not for the post I was applying to (it was already set aside) but for an entry level position. They said "we were so delighted with your interview that we want to give you this related job". I accepted it and eventually got the intended job. The thing is, if it hadn't been for that interview, I wouldn't have been known by them and wouldn't have gotten the job.

It sounds like there's a good chance they were waiting for another candidate to accept an offer before letting you know you weren't successful. It sounds like they didn't want to lose you if things didn't work out with the other candidate. It sucks being left hanging though!

Recently interviewed for a General Manager position and did not get it, then a few weeks later was asked to interview for a Co-Manager position (the same company). Sometimes just have to go through all the gears to excel.

Thank you, this was helpful and encouraging!

Good stuff. Have hired quite a few people. One thing to add is if a candidate is really good, knowing what's in it for them is super-helpful. If they want permanent work vs freelance, work in this area, shorter commute, really like doing x. All add to potential staff retention which says to the interviewer, "yay, not doing this again soon".

@Supriti Sharma Wow you are right in Texas they hire tall or just above average young skinny guys who are clean shaven between 5'11 and 6'3 usually never over 180 pounds.

It all comes down to if the interviewer wants you or not.

Listening to this. It feels more like... if i don't like your interest im not hiring you... at least with the first part

For millions of people who failed the job interviews out there, remember that it's not the end of your life whatsoever! By now, I failed 3 different job interviews this 2022 already, but I am still fine as always, you know. The reason I failed is because I know I do deserve more!

A month after my first interview as a development engineer, the hiring manager called me and said they had offered the job to an internal candidate. So in this case they admitted they had the job filled from the beginming !

So glad to hear that you were getting a lot of value for my videos.

I have done 2 interviews Blue collar jobs. The first I went in and winged it. I left feeling what I could do better. Then I saw your videos and I watched a few of them and when I went to a second job interview with a much better Job. I used what I learned from your Videos. I left the interview feeling Great about my Interview I didn't Get the job but I wasn't bummed out I looked for something that I wanted to do. I have a 3rd job interview tomorrow morning. I'm going in early and prep myself before I go in and again use what I learned. I hope I get in with this Company I believe they will help me grow and I will help them. If I don't get it I still feel your videos are helping me find a great job by teaching me how to go in with convenience.

The job is always set aside for someone else here.

I got.this feeling after they kept rescheduling my interview and give a lot of BS feedback on how I did.

I sooooooo appreciate your comment about how it is "rude" how prospective employers just drop you like a bad habit once they decide to go with someone else, even if you ask for feedback. Yes, I am going through a VERY difficult, psychologically and emotionally taxing search for a high school social studies teaching position in Chicagoland. At least in a general sense, I am as qualified as anyone out there relative to my level of experience in the field and whoever does eventually hire me is going to get one of THE best high school social studies teachers in the world and nothing less. But for now, good God, I just need to get a frickin' interview and for the most part, the process feels very cold, detached, and just plain discouraging. But I WILL get through this and land my dream job because teaching is my life's purpose and that's just the way it is. And when I do get there, I VOW to NEVER forget what this process is like and always do anything and everything I can to empower those going through this struggle.

Brandon Zurvale, I get the impression that you are a little desperate. If that is the case, it probably comes across in the interview and that could be a turn off. I know you posted your comment 9 months ago and I hope you found the job you were looking for. If you haven’t, try a different approach. From my experience, when I went to an interview for a job I was not that excited about, I was very relaxed, talked to the interviewer like I would talk to a colleague and more often than not, I was offered the job. The key is to just be yourself. Eventually you will find the right fit.

Sometimes they know who they plan to hire and they're just going through the process...

Your too old is one of the main reasons . Age discrimination!

For the record i just wanted to hear what you had to say!...A lot of factors go into it! The personality and attitude of the interviewers! Sometimes just there bad attitudes! and negative energy have a lot do with it!

Finally, after 10 days practicing for an interview. At 4:00pm!. the NEXT day at 8:00am got the rejected email and was dirty trap from the HR

Thank you for your video.

Thank you so much for this great advice and info Don:) The interview processes for my position require 3 rd rounds of interviews. i interviewed 5 different companies, meaning total 15 interviews. However i always fails the last round of interviews. Its sooooo frustrating and depressing 😭I spent so many days for these long interview processes for nothing.. Again much appreciated for sharing this video🌷it cheers me up😁

I think sometimes it is also very subjective. I worked with a manager who chose someone with NO experience over someone who HAD experience simply because this manager thought the one WITHOUT experience was a nicer person and went on to justify at the deliberation that this candidate seem eager and willing to learn and therefore this compensates the lack or absence of....in this person‘s opinion. This manager is often vocal about disliking candidates who are too knowledgeable because apparently this mgr did not like to lose the job to someone who is better.

I like your videos so much that I have started to binge watch your videos

thank you for supporting my channel.

I just went through multi round interviews with 5 different companies within the last 3 weeks. Some I was overqualified for. Not one of them panned out and I am so extremely frustrated. I must be missing something.

Great video! I’ve learn a lot of interviewing techniques on U-tube but yours are really relevant. I am currently employed but looking to get into Pharmacuetical industry as controls automation engineer with 15 years experience. It started with screening and ace that. Invited to campus to meet with department head and 2 other engineers. They were impressed with my resume and atmosphere was friendly which put me immediate to ease. I was very confident throughout interview and felt relax enough really open up and conversational exchanges just seem flow. 24 hrs later follow up with thank you email address individually to all three interviewers. Had interview on Friday and it’s now following Thursday and I haven’t heard back. The last interviewer did mention that they had one more person this week to interview. My question is how much time should lapse before I follow up if I don’t get a call back. Funny thing is, early week HR called to inquire about my salary and vac, is that a good sign after having interview or is that just routine that companies do after meeting with individual?

I have a question that I hope someone can shed some light on. I've done two interviews with this one company, the 1st was with the manager and the 2nd was with the store manager. At the end of the 2nd interview, the store manager told me straight up "I'm not gonna hire you." The weird thing though, is that the store manager also wants to continue with more interviews, so I shouldn't give up. The store manager already told me I wasn't going to be hired, so why should I keep going back for interviews? Do they think they're going to suddenly find something out about me that they haven't already?

1:42 - Love this honesty about rude behavior on employer's part! Thank you... it is reassuring

Stick with it and what you can from Field interviews and apply that to the next one

Why don't employers provide feedback? There should be a service that acts as a go-between and lets applicants know the reasons for being rejected. I went through three interviews including a grueling two hour video interview with four people only to later receive a terse rejection email. I do wish I could know what I did wrong.

Thank you Don for all your encouragement. I had an internal interview for a position at the same company last week. It went vey well and next day, they contacted my curent job managers to check my references. One week later, they called me: " ..we have another applied.. very close and tight..if you are still interested in .., reapply next time." I am so frustrated becuase my current managers knowing that i want to leave, eventhough they were seem very nice and told me they gave me a good reference. I have been interviewing multiple positions in same company. I can't believe it is so difficult get a job eventhough I am internal employee. I feels so depressed and hopeless. What should i do now? Give me advices pls.
