She isn't more popular because intuitive ppl can see thru redundancy and bad advice. This is not good career advice she's giving. She's just stating the obvious, peddling Amazon products and talking out of the side of her neck. I took her advice, and it did not work for me. I'm going back to my old way of doing things. People who know what they are talking about become solid in the community and popular. When you don't know what you are talking about or something doesn't work, you remain unpopular.

Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

If you're young and new to the game or have time, have someone drive you to the place a day beforehand. You'll know exactly where to go, and won't have to wing it the first time.

Go to the location at least a day before the interview. Scout out parking, etc. Find out how long it takes, what's the best route. Don't leave it until the day of the interview.

I’ve been interviewing for the past two weeks and am so exhausted, overwhelmed and anxious from the process!! Your videos have been a HUGE help to me and have helped me better focus and prepare. You have simplified the process and allowed me to slow down and think!!! Your fantastic!! Thank you!!! 😊

You are a savior! I followed all your tips in my recent interview , I did get the offer but what is more important is I felt so confident throughout the interview. It went like a breeze! I could see I made the best possible first impression on the panel and I could sense they wanted me no matter what. Thanking you sooooooo much!

I really like her! She is really honest and direct!

I always learn something from these videos, so thank you!!

Thanks Cass. I was needing a padfolio and resume paper. You did me a solid adding the link. 😎

Very informative. Being the unorganized person that I am your vids have pushed me to prepare more in the days leading up to the interview and I've found they are less stressful because of that. Allows me to be more personable... calm even, which allows me to just be myself.

I just found her video tonight. She's great.

Love, love these videos! The information is so helpful and has helped me tremendously in the interview process. Thank you!

Just sad i didnt get to watch this video before my interview. Blame the youtube algorithm.. always bring extra copies of your resume! Or any documents you think they might want. It is mostly online applicatio so the interviewers usually have with them but you never know. Also i just typed some of expected questions and my answers and sent it to my email so i can review it just before going to the interview. And dont forget breath mints! Lol

I am almost through binging her interview videos... They are SO helpful. I am researching information for my first job and watching different videos about interviews and her videos really help calm nerves and make me feel a lot better about it

Just to add on the parking situation, scout the area if possible. We don’t realize that there are areas of our towns that we rarely go to & are unfamiliar with. I moved to OKC almost 5 years ago & went downtown for the 4th time just the other day. I’ve never had business there, so I had no reason to go. And make sure your printer has plenty of ink & is functioning properly. I rarely use mine, the ink dried on the nozzles & gave me bad printouts. Luckily I had time to stop at FedEx, but you just never know.

I use the cardstock from FedEx. People LOVE it, and it stands out.

I must say... some of these tips are really necessary. I have run into some problems. The water- YES I always bring it. food Yes- like a snack bar. yes. banana comb- yes ----------------------------- Im a male- so I always wear a T Shirt to the interview for the ride and then change into my Dress shirt- and Tie. in a bathroom or in my car. BECAUSE my seat belt gets my shirt all wrinkled and i dont want sweat spots from the ride under my shirts underarm area. .

I’m afraid that the padfolio could seem to formal in an interview? What’s your opinion on this. But i’m in love with the concept. ❤️ Btw thank you for the great advises

In this day of technology the employer has gotten the resume on their website. In my experience companies don't want so much paper to look at. They open their computer.

Thank you so much for these videos! They are super helpful. As a professional, providing us advice, do you suggest the ivory color for resume paper, versus plain white? Thank you in advance, Danielle

Hi, i loved your videos, they are GOLD! i have actually made some of the mistakes you mentioned in your other video, i wish i new it before failing an interview... I have a question for you, i'm in the middle of my master in business, and it take up one day of my week (although most of the courses don't have mandatory attendance), the question is - how do i mention about it in the interview without scaring them off?

You should also bring extra eyeglasses if you wear them. I lost a lens going from the parking garage to the building (4 blocks).

Thank you I interview a lot over the phone but I have my first in person interview in the last three years. I planned on bringing my resume but now I will definitely have the resume paper! Thank you again for the advice.

I've never been offered a drink at an interview. Just saying. 😁 💜 Allp the other tips I totally agree with, including bringing a drink with you. 😁 💜

Cass - what about bringing copies of reference letters, articles, etc...? Also, and if so, what about a cover letter with the position, your name and a table of contents?

Hi Cassandra, Your videos are excellent. I have learned so much in the past few days! I also love your personality and your little side comments ("Oh, did I just burp on that word?" Lol) and your puppy popping up,etc. I have an interview next week and my question is regarding my resume. It is 2 pages (I have 34 years of experience and there's no way to fit it on 1 page). I have read that I should not staple the pages. What are your feelings on that? Should I paper clip them? Just leave them separate? If they're separate I know my name should be on top of the second page. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Awesome video

Your advice and tips are incredibly helpful! I have a question. In my last two interviews, everyone already had a copy of my resume. Do I need to keep bringing my own copies of my resume to give the interview committees at all my interviews?

I usually write down the directions to arrive at the interview site

Any time I had my resume on the good paper I didn’t get any answer back lol but that was quite awhile ago as in - 2011. After this time I noticed people didn’t show too much interest in it.

Hello cass thank you for all these amazing videos...im facing a problem and I could use your help with it. After accepting a job offer from a company that i had a successful interview with they gave me my starting date after a month during that time i did another interview and i got another job offer. What should i do they both game me the same offer I love working for both and im still a college student so both these jobs are internship and i don't want to be rude with one of the companies because I know I might want do work for them in the future and they are both big companies. What is the best thing to do? Thank you

Hi Cass so while doing a zoom interview is it ok to take notes? I'm asking because the panel will see you looking down as you're jotting down names or individuals or key words or statements that you will like to have on hand when writing thank you notes or referring back to the interview.

@SirenUndine

I've never had an interviewer not like when I've made notes.

1. Taking a print-out email is unnecessary. They will give you the information, it is on your phone email, you can locate it on Google maps, and you can just do a dry run the day before. Dry runs are your best bet, so you will know exactly where to go in case you are stuck in traffic. 2. Nope!! Bringing copies of your resume is out dated redundancy. Once you apply online, the interviewer will have already printed it from your online application by the time you get there. They won't even ask for a resume. 3. She's being paid by Amazon. You can get the same thing at Walmart for half the price. 4. 3:55 Here she is talking to you like you are a kid. Everyone knows to bring a pen, and if you don't the interviewer has a million of them. Every HR department has millions of pens, even if you forget one. Notebooks are not necessary. Taking notes while they are interviewing you makes them nervous because they don't know what you are writing. Also, you run the risk of them thinking you have memory issues and can't remember where you worked that's why you are referring to a notebook. I wouldn't do it. 5. I've never heard of car chargers breaking or not working. Weird. Very weird. Anything that you can charge in a car, you should be able to charge at home the night before. I've had old cars that the engine was burning oil and smoking and the charger still worked great. 6. Breath mints, combs, brushes goes without saying. Even a 10 year old would know that. 7. Bottle water is another thing that goes without saying. Even if you forget your water, the building you are headed to is not from the Stone Age. They will have plenty of fancy water fountains for you to fill your jug with. 8. 7:37 Of Course a banana will calm you down because it tastes good and loaded with sugar. Anything that's good on the taste buds will calm your nerves. 9. Again 8:04, if you do a dry run first, you will already know this information, and sometimes the interviewer will give you a voucher anyway for paid parking. 10. Lastly, I took her advice and it cost me a job. She is just stating the obvious. I'm going to be careful with misinformation on the internet, and I think you should too. This advice on this video is something you will already do, nothing new here. Be cautious.
