Why would anyone follow subjective advice you give that isn’t even true a lot of the times? You don’t know what you’re talking about in a majority of your videos I’ve seen. If you did go to a university then you are proof that not everyone who has a degree is intelligent or knows what they are talking about. You sound really ignorant in a lot of the clips you make.

Notice how the correct examples were things previous employers had said about her. Don't say what you think you're good at. Say what others have told you you're good at.

That would be a great reply, if only I could say it and mean it.

My greatest strength is resilience. I can adapt quickly to changing situations and priorities without it wearing me down.

If you tell your future employer that you're "dependable" what they actually hear is "you can ask me to do shit beyond what I'm getting paid to do" and they'll not only think it, they'll expect it.

Exactly. Ditto with “responsible.” You’re now their scapegoat and door mat

I hate when I'm asked "tell me a little bit about yourself..." I instantly panic and think "..... wait. Who tf am I?!!?!" 😂 Or "tell me about some of your hobbies or things you do in your spare time." I know telling them I lay around my house nakie watching Netflix in my free time isn't what they want to hear but it's literally all I do 💀

And my motto is "If you wanna win the lottery, you gotta make the money to buy a ticket".

I tell them I'm reliable, I always show up to my scheduled shifts on time and if I ever have to take off due to an emergency I give sufficient notice. So far its done good things for me. Course they don't realize I also mean I will not show up on days I don't work. I have very strict boundaries there. I will not work on days I'm not scheduled. Even if someone calls out, I am disabled, I cannot come in more then I do

"Reliable" is something you value in a minimum wage worker, because it's the minimum requirement to be employed. If you are after a high paying job, it's assumed you will be reliable. What do you bring to the table other than just showing up?

Congratulations on the new job!!🎉

one of my greatest strengths is that i can stay focused. Previous managers have told me that I’m good at completing the task without getting distracted by others.

I always say my greatest strength is humility. Understanding when I am wrong or when something could have been done better, I turn them around very quickly into learning moments and ways I can improve.

One thing I learned about Job interviews is that you are essentially selling yourself. Would you rather buy something that "Can cut bread pretty good" or "A high quality aluminum edged cutting blade"

Specificity is good - if it’s a job that you’re trained in talk about a specific part of it and how and why you’re good at that and then a part of your character that amplifies that specific skill.

Thank you for the interview tips 🫡🎉

Thank you so much! I have an interview coming up soon and I want to ace this.

Any advice for severe performance anxiety? i am on two mental medications that pretty much keep me ok. but i haven't had an interview in years and i have no clue how i'll react. in the past it was stuttering and no plan. even if i had a plan i cant think straight.

I always answer my greatest strength is also my biggest weakness in that my love of helping others with special projects and helping solve problems outside my normal responsibilities can on occasion side track me but I always get back and take what I've learned in the special projects and supply it to my normal job. Do you think this is a strong answer?

@catinabox3048

I think that's a great answer for what your greatest weakness is. But if you're only asked for strengths and not for weaknesses (which usually doesn't happen but who knows), you could probably find another strength or frame it in a different way.

Can i get some opinions on my normal answer? I usually say that I have been known to come up with very outside the box solutions and i love problem solving

Be cautious with the outside the box comment. A lot of corporations don't want original thinkers because you cause disruption. Be a team player.

Wrong! The correct response is "I get shit done".

Your eyes as they widen 👁👄👁😂😂😂

I show up on time😁

oh so it’s just things other employers or coworkers have said about you? ok so like my greatest strength is that i’m not afraid to ask for help understanding a talk or how to best manage it efficiently. this was something that my previous employer appreciated because it allowed me to get a task done correctly first time as opposed to doing it incorrectly and needing it to be corrected later.

Tenacity is my greatest strength

Tap the screen at the end, Erin...😊

"I squat 200 kg for reps."

Dependable... Could I say efficient? I get the job done quick n well?

How should I answer, “What is your work history?” when it’s my first job?

Ich habe noch nie so ein feedback bekommen das ich z.b immer versucht habe positives in den Arbeitsablauf zu bringen oder andere feedbacks

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I’d start with ,why don’t I start with my greatest weakness. I work to hard. I care too much and sometimes be too invested in my job. Then explain how my greatest weakness are also my greatest strengths.

For fresh graduate please😢

rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, and don't be yourself

But what if im not really any of these things.

I have none of these, what do I do now 😂

If your job interview entails being asked “What is your greatest strength” then you are not applying for a very good job. This is a question most likely to be asked at an interview for McDonald’s

This is exactly what I tell them and I get the offer... Didn't need this video.

Do you think telling your weakness is that question could demonstrate honesty and self-awareness?

Her advice is subjective, not this skit particularly but others that she’s done with the “wrong” answers I’ve said some of those answers before in interviews and I’ve gotten the jobs I applied for by giving those answers so this isn’t an accurate way to tell people how they should respond to interview questions.

There is only one answer to this question: My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a strong opponent in any realm of human endeavor.

What if you actually don’t have any strengths? lol

The faster you talk the more obvious it is rehearsed and they are not seeing the true genuine person. Also it comes across as tanky insensitive unthoughtful and potentially passive agreesive. If they are looking for a vocalised adept not saying the wrong thing pushy type then maybe. Solutions involve thinking that maybe what there are looking for. If they start saying we like corporate fun runs. It is a not fatties or oldies environment and it's all a bit pants.

This is a load of rehearsed waffle... When the experienced interviewer hears this drivel...they smile..they're not really taking any notice of your slick rehearsed answer And they know you're not genuine... Cos in s situation where you can't predict and rehearse a good outcome you are history...and usually incompetent...smart answers doesn't mean that you are..😎

Honestly, this answer is so superficial it's literally useless and a waste of both your and your interviewer's time. Just say what you think makes you good at your job.

I think your advice is wrong. A better answer is: "Why don't I tell you what my greatest weaknesses are? I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job." And when they ask you what your strengths are, you can tell them that your weaknesses are actually strengths.

No one wants to hear that you're TOO good at anything because it's cliché and forced and not true. If you have to give a weakness, give a true weakness that you've since overcome or that you've worked hard to learn to control while on the job and emphasis how far you've come. Even if it is "I care too much," it needs to be phrased in a way that makes actual sense, like "I care a lot about my work and sometimes it makes it difficult me to work to someone else's schedule."

If you have a goal and you'll do whatever it takes to get there... I work in the chemical industry, and --- that's not a good idea. Do things safely or don't do them at all.

What if you’ve have no paid work experience beforehand

In other words.. lie your ass off!!
