Never ever give a crap whether an interview went well or not. It doesn't matter. It can go well and you still not get the job or the offer is low. All that matters is the offer. It'll come or not whenever. My job is as soon as I walk out of an interview is to put that behind me and focus on the next company, searching. Worrying about how an interview went takes your head out of the game. I look at interviews as practice. I do my best to improve my game. More interviews I do the better I get. The more interviews I have in the pipe the more at ease I am. Confidence sells.

You don't have a job until it's in writing and, truthfully speaking, you don't have a job until your first paycheck hits your bank account (because sometimes companies recruit and then collapse before they pay new hires). Trying to gauge how your interview went is a dangerous game to play...the moment your interview ends, you need to continue searching for another job. Just my $0.02 about this.

I was just hired a couple days ago. I had a good feeling my interview went well. I followed all the tips, didn’t slouch, looked at the interviewer in the eye at all times, sounded confident throughout. The thing is I came in 15 minutes late to the interview I really had to sell it to the interviewer.

One thing that has been a good indicator for me (when interviewing with the hiring manager) is that after about 15 minutes or so, it turns from a somewhat formal Q&A into more of a 2 way conversation.

I had this last year until we had a face-to-face over zoom and they realized I was in my late 50's. I checked all the boxes, twice, had killer phone interviews.

It's all a numbers game. No matter how good the interview goes stay focused on any other interviews you have coming up. Something will eventually stick. You are interviewing them as much as they are you.

Had interviews were I said all the right things, had good personal connection with interviewer, and was well qualified. Thinking, yeah I nailed that one! Had one just like he described. Long interviews, hitting it off talking about tangents ( obviously not an interview question). And never hear from them again. Gone into interviews not wanting to even be there, even can't think of anything to say on those trick (gotcha) questions, fail to even keep good eye contact, don't really like the interviewer (absolutely no personal connection) and get a call back saying I'm hired. So, you can never tell.

Last year, I thought for sure that I was going to get a job offer because the manager saw my work and really liked me. I suspect that my age is the reason that I didn’t get hired. The good news is that I got an even better offer from a better company for more money.

I had a few interviews that felt like it went well, but never got the position. Recruiters be making it feel like you got the position already but then doesn’t.

i did 5 out of 7 interviews at a company. Got a job at a different company that only required 3 interviews. I called the first company and said I have accepted a position at a different company and thanked them for their time. THEY THEN TOLD ME I GOT THE JOB EVEN THOUGH I HAD 2 MORE INTERVIEWS TO GO. They know if they are going to hire you by interview #2. Trust me

I've gone through many long, arduous interview processes, and...nothing. No feedback, only ghosting. That's how it goes the bulk of the time. On the rare occasions I actually get any feedback at all, I've seen all these signs, and been told I interview well, and still did not get the job. So it is all a moot point.

It’s all so so random, and just total luck. It’s not unusual for hundreds of people to apply to a job that’s not even that great. 60% of those people could do the job well. The interviewers are just looking at minor shit to make their decision. I’ve been told the “selling point” for me getting a really competitive job came down to a statement I made that the key hirer really liked, but he totally misinterpreted it.

Do you ask for feedback during the interview? Maybe that could help ask stuff like Do you have any advice for me to be the best worker? What qualities am I lacking to be considered for the job? It’s scary but it can give you some really honest feedback.

Can confirm. They'll make you do tests, interviews and yet will not give you any feedback whatsoever. Just ghost you.

No matter how well the interview goes, until you receive the offer in writing, the job is not yours!!!

I learned this after I left a temp agency position for a job that was promised verbally. Im a commercial driver so after the interview he said he will run my insurance ( i have no tickets & accidents) & I'll start by next week. Next week comes i call, he has his assistant make a excuse, call again another excuse, last try straight to voicemail. On Indeed they always have the same position up, probably because their a POS company the way they do things.

The biggest tell is when they're selling you on the job more than they're wanting you to sell yourself to take the role. But yes, you never know. I just got a new job and everything went smoothly but I've finished second many times for job opportunities in my past.

I just try to mix the "How is an employee's day in the company" question in the "Do you have any questions to us" question. If they go on about the schedule in a dry and monotonous way, then I know it didn't go well. But if they go on and on about all the benefits etc., I have a small sign it went well.

As others have said, there are LOTS of variables determine why you got (or refused) the job. The best way for me is to stop micro analyzing the situations. I know it's much easier said than done but it comes with practise. The tips in this video are definitely useful, but do not get overly excited if you feel those clues represented your situations, because you might get disappointed at the end. Just as you might think you could've done better in an interview just so at the end you end up landing the job.

From my personal experience, I've noticed that these signs don't always correlate to increased job offers, but one interesting trend with myself has. Everytime I'm interviewed by more than one employer in a session (I'm talking multiple employers interviewing me at once, not multiple interviews with a different employer each time), I will ALWAYS get the job. To this day I have never been rejected after an interview like that. If I'm only being interviewed by one employer, I will very rarely get the job.

Panel interviews can be really good or really bad. If there are managers or senior level architects on the panel, those are the best interviews. If there are lower level employees on the panel, don’t be surprised if those people try to submarine you because they may want to get promoted into the position that you are applying for. One interviewer admitted that he wanted the job himself. I have never seen multiple companies or divisions in the same company conduct panel interviews.

I have had some great interviews that I was sure an offer was coming and nope 👎🏻 I don’t get my hopes up until I get a concrete offer.

Man, your content here is rock solid. You helped me a ton and your focused way of making these videos (no lame jokes, bs,... etc) are pure treasure.

A lot of these signs were present during my interview! Thanks for the info! Just signed my offer letter.

I went for an interview one time and was informed I was over qualified, then the following week, the job was posted online again. I have no idea what I did wrong, I followed every tip and trick and then a friend said "they probably didnt want you in there as you would show them up for the slackers they are or they think you are after the bosses job". Neither of these things entered my head. I just wanted a job.

Thank you for all this information. This whole channel has boosted my confidence in my intuition and has helped me stay true to myself.

Thank you for those tips. I am glad you explained in depth of what to look for.

I just wanted to say thank you for providing this service. Thank you very much.

This was an excellent presentation. I have not interviewed in many years. Had a panel interview the past Friday for a position I'm interested in transitioning to. I definitely felt the interview went great!

Thank very much Sir. May God bless you with these learnings. So powerful

If a company has a high turnover rate and they have a hard time keeping employees especially if its an entry-level low paying job then 90% of the time you will get the job since they are just looking for a body to do the job and anyone that applies for the job will do. Especially if the company is very busy with a large workload.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. Need it

Thank you- very insightful.

A final interview with the boss’ boss could also be the interview that could blows it for you.

Great videos, big fan. This is one of your best videos with real unique perspective and content and a topic not covered elsewhere that I've seen. My comment is I disagree that simply because you've gone over time and the interviewer didnt get through all their questions that things are going well. Interviewers want you to answer the questions. Keep it short and ask if they'd like you to expand. There are signs that things are going well, length alone doesn't tell you much. And you should pay more attention to them getting all their questions answered than to how long you've been talking.

You are a good human Sir doing humane counselling sessions on ethical interview.

From my experience a sign the interview went well is when the interviewer or manager gives you a thorugh tour around business or have you shadow someone for a few hours. A sign it didn't go well is they usually give you the old "we'll get back with you"....lol.

Thanks for your insight, I just landed a great opportunity, a job I never even thought of, but think will be a great choice

This is really helping me...thank you!

I appreciate your personable style, clear communication, excellent content, and great pacing. All of your videos have been helpful and insightful.

Wow super lucky… must be one of the few ppl on the planet who r in your situation

The best sign I got the job was 2 years ago for my current one. I did the tests and was asked if I wanted to start the following day. Another great sign about the company itself was during the interview and testing, the owner never mentioned anything about it being a "family" company. I work with actual adults and not men-children.

The interview can go just ok and after the first three people they make offers to don't work out you get the call.

The idea for this video is a great one and it's really good advice! This is making me feel really good about the last interview I had. So with that in mind, could you please consider some new videos on this subject? There has been some changes in the last couple of years regarding interviews. The hiring mangers don't have you come in person anymore and most of all, they will not give out their phone number. Usually it's only an email and it's normally the office admin, not the hiring manager themselves. Keep up the good work, it's a valuable tool.

I was in a hiring process recently where I did two interviews with HR (an 1-hour phone call and then a quick Zoom call), then I was interviewed by the hiring manager & director, and lastly by the CEO (it was small non-profit company with around 20 people). I was really interested in the position and saw most of those signs. Silly me, I even stopped applying to other jobs for a couple of weeks... Then they decided to go with another candidate

Btw, I don't think they were dishonest, and I'm not complaining or criticizing this video. The HR company (the employer was actually their client) did mention once or twice that they were interviewing some other candidates as well. In the beginning, they had asked me if I was "actively applying to jobs", which I was, but answered "not actively, but yes, I've applied to a couple of other jobs this month." Not sure if that had any impact on their final decision but it felt right at the time. After that I stopped applying to jobs for some time, which I realize was a mistake. In the end, HR told me it was a tough decision because everyone from the company really liked me. And I know I'm supposed to take that with a grain of salt but I genuinely think it was a great experience (even though rejection is always shitty). I try being careful not to be naive but I also don't wanna fall into this mindset that companies only want to take advantage of you all the time (which is something I see a lot in these comments sections). Anyway, I'm a newcomer to North America and this channel adds a lot of value to my job search. Thanks, Bryan!

I once had a zoom interview, and when I asked them when they’d get back to me if it was a yay or a nay. That date came and I emailed them asking if they made a decision two days later I got an email that told me they had a really tough decision between me and another candidate. Never before had I felt both honored and disappointed all at once from an email.

Thanks! Helpful

This comment section is exactly what I needed to hear!

thank you especially for the advice @ 7:00 forward

Very good teaching.

I went in for a round 2 interview at a major Household goods comp, the major household comp , after an extensive mechanical aptitude test which you must pass to even be in the running , next what transpired was the most grueling psychological interview ever, 2 engineers grilled me on lean economics , just in time theory etc , I felt like I was being interrogated for the FBI, or CIA lol, all answers had to be in the star format, etc. I didn't get the offer, although I did reach out to see what went wrong the recruiter said, I didn't put enough emphasis on I would have done to change my future outcome in the , Tell me about a time you missed the mark question. Other than that he thought I did well! It's just that crazy though, miss the mark on one question and your done. Sometimes they must make up a reason for why they didn't hire you. Some candidates go through a corporate type of Hunger Games while others cant even string together coherent sentences and get the job, Which is why I never beat myself up ,lmao

I had an interview with the HR Manager and the Paralegal Supervisor - the feedback I got was that I was not going to fit in with everyone cause I was ‘too’ outgoing and too energetic. They also thought my positivity was too good to be true. I walked out thinking I wasn’t going to get hired, then the managing attorney called me the next day to offer me a job. I’m not sure what happened.

@@zhin4362 I did take the job, the attorneys were very kind and supportive. It was the support staff that was the problem, I found out that the supervisor (that interviewed me) was promoted from the receptionist position. Long story short, I left after 2 years because another company had better benefits.

I think it depends very heavily on country culture and/or company culture too

Me too! It's so draining. I had a 3 round of interviews for an analyst job. I felt like I bombed the last one as it was a team interview and I was being questioned by 4 people back to back for an hour. Some things I had no idea how to answer as the questions were make believe scenarios. I feel I bombed it. I did my best to answer but felt dumb bc I know they could tell I was making up. I knew I could do the job and well. Interviews sometimes are the worst. Your resume and 1 interview should do.

Thanks!

I went to a job interview, and the guy starts off by getting my name wrong. Downhill from there. The hours didn’t work, so I figured I’d bullshit it the rest of the way. (The hours weren’t consistent with what the position said either) so I start saying about how I’ve been cheating on my wife with her sister, telling her I’ve been at work, but now bills are coming due. The guy just looked appalled 😆. Needless to say, I got an email within a few days saying “Thank you for your time, but we’ve decided to go forward with other candidates.”

This happened to me once. I got the final call to talk to the departmental lead. I did 2 interviews that went well and the day I needed to all to the department lead she couldn't hear me well (bad signal). It didn't go well. I was basically in line to get the job and the department lead didn't give her blessing. 3 weeks later I got an email that I didn't get the job. Still upset about it today.

I had a very interesting interview a few days ago for a role that I am really rooting to receive. The only question they asked me was "Why would you want to pursue a role like this instead of something that would be more familiar to your experience?" Then, they proceeded to speak at great length about the role and the day-to-day tasks (which I appreciated), but then they ended up answering all of my prepared questions before I even had a chance to ask, so showing that I did my research on the company was shot. I was expecting at least one behavioral based question, but there were none. I'm confused what that phone call was. lol

Great videos 👍

Thank you for this video! I’m actually very glad I found this. My recruiter recently put me in touch with a fairly large company for an account manager position. So up to this point, I have had 5 rounds of interviews these last 3 weeks. The first interview was with the person I’d be working and training under and I felt that went pretty well. The next two were on the same day, one with the global sales manager in Europe and with the president in the USA. The interview with the person in Europe went exceptionally well and lasted well over 20 minutes our scheduled time. They then wanted me to talk to two additional people, so just this last Thursday I spoke with the director of administrative services and the VP of operations. I know in the video you said if you get to a point where you speak with the VP of operations, it’s a good sign so that was good to hear. At the end of the interview with him, the only timeline he was able to advise was “soon”, so not sure what that would mean for a large company. Any thoughts on your side if I’m likely to get this role? I’ve been obsessing over this pretty much this whole month and can really only focus on this haha.

If you made it to the final round it’s a good sign - just depends on if there are other people in the process. If it’s been more than a week since you last talked to the recruiter, I’d reach out to them and see if there’s any status. Good luck and keep us posted!

I’ve only had one interview that had this much lingo and structure. I even had a follow up with the “regional manager” scheduled. Turns out they wanted me to sell knives to my family and friends. Every other time, they either interview you just to make sure you can talk and don’t show up late/high/whatever, and to make sure you bring your ID with you so they can just hire you there and tell you what to wear.

I don't think there are really any signs that you can count on. I once went to an interview and found all of the compliments, accolades, etc. that you talk about from the interviewers and at the end, the lead architect even shook my hand and told me that he was looking forward to working with me. I got a "thanks but no thanks" email a few days later so you really can't ever tell. Also as a former hiring engineering manager, I used these techniques on every candidate. I always sold the company and was complimentary to my candidates because I wanted them to feel comfortable. I am sure there were many candidates that left thinking they nailed it but they were a "no" 5 minutes into the interview. With that being said, there were times when I was very direct at the end of an interview and told the candidate that I was going to be submitting an offer and we talked salary right then and there. When I found a candidate that I liked, I didn't screw around. The only "sign" that really matters at the end of the day is when they call you and actually offer you the job.

I had an interview with in my own company. I know I killed the interview, only to have them offer the job to a kidcI trained. I asked for a meeting with the manager. I was informed that I was extremely qualified and could not have interviewed any better. Their deciding factor was this kid had transferred out to that department and was already working there. I said I can see your point, but what about my 30 years of manufacturing experience, and 11 of those years with this company. He didn't have a good answer. Then he reaches out and informs me " we are having another position opening soon". My response was, I want to thank you for remembering me for this new opportunity. Unfortunately, I will not be applying for the position at this time. I other words, that's a professional fk you, you had an opportunity and blew it.

Thank you, for videos. I had an interview 9 month ago and lasted only 5 minutes its was the only interview. Then I got the government position with a start date. I thought I was not going to get the position.

Noticing lately that some (not all) recruiters are shortcuting the process by asking salary specifics initially, setting up the client with an interview but then flaking on follow ups. The other signs do make sense and jive with getting other jobs that I've had though, so good tips overall.

I had a interview yesterday with a rather large company that I feel the interview went well, with a few signs mentioned in the video, but i still just have that lingering doubt that i feel is in everyone’s mind after the interview. I will report back what they say 🙂🙏

True, if they try to sell you the position, they are very interested. I just had an interview and this pattern surfaced by the CEO. However, it is true; nothing is certain until you get an offer on the table.

Depends on where you are. My last job I got a call back and offer that I accepted.

I don't know why I'm watching this even though I'm not actively interviewing, nor plan to do so anytime soon

You got an offer. Thats a good sign.

My top sign is: when the interview goes well and smoothly, interviewer asks a lot of in-depth questions, doesn't put my answers into doubt
