I just went to an interview today two hours ago and i just got the call that i’m hired! This will be my first job! for the past two days i have been watching almost all of ur videos and they’ve helped me to prepare and feel super confident! So thank you soo much!

In some ways, job interviews are pointless. People come in with rehearsed, practiced answers to questions and you don’t get to see their true work ethic, behavior, and personality until they have been in the position for a bit.

I guess the real benefit is weeding out the people who are unwilling to even dance correctly to the music, as it were. Your point is why companies have 90 day probationary periods before you are a full hire.

I'd agree, especially if the questions an interviewer asks are coming from a script that you've heard in every interview and everybody repeats the same answers. But, I have rarely run into an interview with hiring managers asking the exact same questions. Yes, the recruiter will come in with the basics, but the hiring manager should be asking specific questions that will prompt responses that will show not only the skills but the culture fit of the person. And, you as the interviewed, should be asking similar questions to see if you fit. If you have a family and want to only work your scheduled time, but find out everybody seems to work well past their scheduled time, this might not be the place for you.

There were some job interviews that I was on, I didn't have to say much and still got the job. Then there were other job interviews, it didn't matter what I said, I was not going to get the job.

new healthcare workers: one thing to say for a weakness is saying you are a new grad or new to the field however you are eager to learn new skills. This is good because you address the elephant in the room that you're new and may not have had this position before ( new RN). And then you can add the little line of you're eager to learn. I then asked based on this interview if there was anything they were hesitant about and they said "just the lack of experience" and I was able to again reiterate that I am eager to learn and look forward to obtaining new skills.

I GOT THE JOB!!! Thank you Cassandra!! I watched a bunch of your videos before my TWO interviews with the company and I just got an email of acceptance Aaaaaaa

This is great advice. As an employer, I use variations of some of these questions. I find it refreshing when my candidate doesn’t bend over backwards trying to avoid admitting they don’t know. As a matter of fact, in the past six months, I’ve hired staff based on their honesty and directness. They didn’t know some of the applications we use, but through their answers to other questions, I knew they would easily learn. They are now two of my top workers on my team, far outpacing some of the people who have been there longer. Never be afraid to admit you don’t know. If your new employer values knowledge, they will empower you to get it. Good luck out there! Cass, keep up the awesome work!

Thank you Cass! For the people who are watching this video, I encourage you to pause the video once Cass asked the question - so you get to think for it yourself first, and see how effective your answer is!

Done! 😁

So I watched your video's for 4 days in a row. I had a video interview and made it to round 2 and the Manager hired me on the spot!! Your video's are so great, keep up the good work! Bye the way, I like your hair!

Cass-THANK YOU. I have goosebumps typing this. I'm 52, and haven't been on/to a legit interview since shoulder pads were in fashion. I binged your videos/listened while walking in the park. I had stories in mind to apply to behavioral questions, I had practiced 'tell me about yourself' and I was completely at ease with the screener. Who turned out to be the only person I would talk to!! I asked the hard question too. I was offered the entry level job of a LIFETIME!!! There is opportunity to get training and move up the ladder-in any direction I want. It is all there for me. I have friends who work there and attest it really IS a dream employer. I was so much better prepared thanks to your videos. THANK YOU!!!

I had one of the most important interviews of my life a couple days ago. It was also my first ever "formal" interview so you could imagine how nervous I was. I watched every single one of your videos, asked the uncomfortable question and KICKED ASS!!! The coronel who interviewed me was so impressed and excited for my future. THANK YOU!

I think a happy ending using the STAR method is gold.

Hey Cass! I just wanted to express my gratitude to you. I am job searching for the first time in 5 years and I didn't prepare for my first interview and bombed it horribly. After consuming your content, practicing, trusting myself and my experiences, I just landed a high paying job in my dream state of California. Thank you so much for your content! It still feels surreal!

I'm going to an interview later today, and I have been watching your videos all morning. I'm really nervous, but I'm preparing. Although we haven't had ink in our printer for months, so guess who has no resume? I did take photos of it, and am going to offer to send the interviewer an email afterwards.

I just had my phone interview this morning and used your tips. I asked the hard question and immediately she and the other interview said that they didn't!!! I'm so excited! I should hear something back by the end of the week! Thank you!!!!

I went into my interview very confident thanks too you ! I literally watched everyone of ur videos that would help me and I got the job ! My very first job so thank you so much they hired me on the spot 💙🙌🏽

Thank you so much Cassandra! I have been watching your videos and I got a better job this week! The interview skills you shared are super helpful. :)

Hi dear, thank you once again, got the job, I interviewed for, it was given to a more experienced person and was give another position that I didn’t know existed, but I love it

I just wanted to tell you that after watching your videos AND asking the hard interview question I got the job!!! Thank you for all your help and prep!

Asking for clarification is great advice for *ANY* interview question you're unsure about!

Ahh I have a job interview tomorrow this is really helpful!!❤️

I would say where can I get so many pennies to stack up to the height of the Empire building, haha

I have an interview today, in a couple hours! I’m at the final round and I’ll be speaking with 4 people.. Thanks for your videos, they have been helpful for my interview prep!

In case anyone is curious, the empire state building is 443 meters tall and a penny is 1.52 mm thick, so it would take roughly 2,914,474 pennies (rounded up to the nearest whole number), this assumes you count the antenna. If you dont, its only 381 meters tall and it would take only 2,506,579 pennies, saving you 408,395 pennies, or $4,083.95. Your welcome.

Thank you, this was very helpful!

I just had a zoom meeting Interview and I GOT THE JOB!!! all thanks to this video I was so nervous at first but she asked me the questions you had went over so the interview so it was a PIECE OF CAKE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Thank you, super helpful video! I have been doing some interviewing lately and have gotten the why do you want to leave your current company question. Which was fine. I had prepared for that and knew how to navigate it without speaking negatively about my current job. The one that surprised me was what is your favorite and least favorite part of your current job. I was able to come up with something on the spot but I definitely had to think of something to not be negative and came up with something that I knew would not be the case for the position I was interviewing for. I have a final interview tomorrow!

Haha. When you said "how do you make eggs" I was thinking about how to actually make them from scratch without a chicken.

Im in a job search and I appreciate your videos!! Questions I recently wasn't prepared for were "Tell me 5 words about yourself" ---- and "what do you like least about your last job." Pretty sure I bombed those, after 4 words I drew a blank! And then I BASICALLY said I didn't LOVE expense reports and thats a big part of the job - LOL! oops !

This is fantastic! Reviewing for a promotion at work and wanted to brush up on my interview skills as that will be a part of the promotion! Thanks so much!

Got the job !! He never asked one of these questions. However I did add to my conversation some of the pointers you suggested. This video gave me ALOT better understanding and more confidence. Thanks

I 100% love & appreciate your videos and stellar tips/advice as I prepare for job interviews. Thank you!

I know I have commented before but your videos helped me feel prepared for m th job interviews. I had a job interview at one place that didn't go well but then I had a job interview at another place and got the job. I finished my training shifts tonight.

a lot of your videos helped me get a job 💗✨ thank you!! very excited to be starting next wednesday :D

I looked up this question after my interview based on the Empire State Building question. I was the only one so far in all of their interviews to answer correctly. Although I answered correctly I looked up the answer afterwards and sent the answer to the person that interviewed me and got a call that night from him very excited that I answered correctly. They still have many interviews left and I’m still nervous 😂. But I believe I nailed the interview. Also got the willing to fail question

Back in November 2020, I started searching for video support to prepare for an upcoming promotional interview. I've been involved in several of these, both giving and receiving. Then, I came across your videos. Specifically: a) The ULTIMATE GUIDE to TOP 10 Interview Questions and Answers, b) Interview Tips: How to Answer What are your Strengths?, and c) Questions to ask at the End of the Interview / Career Interview Tips. I watched with great interest and practiced. I don't know if it was just the videos, the peer support I reached out for, the preparation to assume this role, or a combination of all three. But I think without the video input, I may not have performed to my full potential. Needless to say, it all worked. The promotional list was posted yesterday and I'm on the top. I'm waiting for the job offer. I'm so happy you posted these, and that I was able to find them. Your style is easy, informative and supportive. Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us in KZread-land. I'll be happy to share your channel with others.

I watched several videos and so far, this is the best content. Very helpful.

I dont know why...its 2:43 am in here, and u got the answers....top notch swords..

Ive loved this video . I am normally terrified in an interview. I have been just recently in the past five minutes in a interview that i just rambled on. i have been to the point where i know what they mean but my answers just ramble i would love to get it to the point where i would just like to have quick straight to the point answers and make it easier for a job interviee to explain to me that yes that is what i am looking for . i have hated my job for the past 3 years and would love help on how to make it easier for me to get a job with someone that shows that i am the best person for the job. i know that you are supposed to sell yourself but i believe that being truthful and honest with a person is a much better way to go. Im scared that i completely just bombed this interview and would love new tips on how to ace the next one. in your hands and awaiting your wonderful words of wisdom thank you for your videos and thank you for your time

fun fact in a practice interview my business teacher asked me the empire state building question, me and one other student knew a ticket to the top of the building is like 20 bucks and he asked about quarters so we answered 80 quarters. he was very impressed.

I had an interview where the employer asked the tell me about yourself question but after I answered it they told me they were looking to know about myself personally. They wanted to know something that wouldn’t be on my resume and it really threw me.. I wasn’t sure how personal to get or what exactly they wanted to know. I think that question largely depends on the employer or the person interviewing you

It does, but you should always answer professionally first, but have some personal information queued if they want it. I've been on many interviews where they ask if I'm a fan of some sport or specific team. Since I have moved around a lot, where I live is not necessarily a team I grew up watching...or a sport I'm interested in. However, I understand this question is trying to find out personal information. An example of how I covered this would be a time I was on an interview in the Milwaukee area and the hiring manager asked if I was a packer fan. Well, I am a fan of a different team in the division, but I don't want to turn off the manager by saying I am s fan of a rival team. So, I'll do one of two things. I'll either say I'm a fan of football, but I don't root for a specific team. And then mention something about a player in their team like "Rodgers really lit it up last season". To show I have some knowledge of the sport. The other is to go opposite. I'll say I'm not really into football, I'm really a hockey fan (which I am). This is what I said to the interviewer in Milwaukee and it must have worked as I was offered the job. Now, whether you like a sports team or if you like kayaking shouldn't have a bearing in if you're qualified for the job nor should it prevent you from getting it. However, something personally interesting might stick out between to very similar qualified candidates. An interviewer might remember something about the applicant with a similar interest over someone that didn't provide any details about themselves. Again, this depends on if they asked for those personal interests.

Omg I freaked out when you said Spacex might be willing to etc..... because my internal interview is tomorrow . Let’s do this !

I think that something you should say in like a restaurant job if your introverted is "I'm more introverted but I think this job will help me kind of talk to people and be less introverted"

I am watching this, tomorrow i will have a job interview thanks a los😍greetings from México

Hey! I have to say you are an absolute LIFESAVER as I'm applying for a job, and if I hadn't found this channel I would definitely be losing that job opportunity (I had everything planned out and they all were very bad plans). However, I do have a question when it comes to the "Tell me about yourself" question. I am only 14 and applying for a job at Chick-Fil-A, and this will be my first job. I was wondering how you answer that question if you have no prior work experience!

This is how I get prepared for a fast food position!

Honestly, if I was interviewing for Google and they asked me how many pennies high is the ESB, I'd totally just say "No idea bro, let me Google it real quick!"

Fantastic information yet again, thank you so much! I interviewed for a Project Manager position with a major tech company. Two final questions from them: (1) the pennies and the Empire State building and (2) you are "gifted" a full grown elephant, and you can't re-gift it, what is the first thing you would do?

Hello Cass. I have a question for you. What if the person has direct experience (which occurred 35 years ago) relating to a position he applied for today. Is this something that should be brought up? Or, left alone.

I am applying for an associate PM clinical research position while being a PM in an event management company - what could I say why I am interested in the position?

Got my panel tomorrow and im nervous 😩

Interviews are especially nerve wracking for me because I have been a stay at home home for the last several years. I do not have recent experience! How could I ace an interview with no work experience?

The sell yourself questions i hate like Why should we hire you? Or How will you benefit the company?

What do you do if you are at an interview and they ask you to write an 600-word essay in 30 minutes about a topic of their choosing? This happened to me and I would like to know how you would approach this challenge.

I was asked ''Describe a perfect manager'' and i stuttered quite a lot, i cried after the interview .. like how i even answer that

Fun fact: Most companies don't ask those type of quiz questions anymore, because so much feedback was given that interviewees felt those questions were pedantic and simply made to make interviewers feel smart. Now they ask you absurdly hard programming questions :D
