What if the reason why I'm overqualified is I demand more pay because of my experience? How do I get hired then?

she was explained step by step made everything clear to me

Very insightful

all 10 here

I also hear that sometimes if an employer contacts references it’s just to verify someone worked there and and I also hear a person’s previous employer often times is only instructed to disclose the minimum like job title, pay and dates of employment.

very good advise.. Thankyou!

Only in Montreal that interviews get done in franglais 😁... Great video Dawn. It helps to see how employers view the recruitment process.

These are great questions! I will definitely be asking some of these.

Sign number 11. If you're watching this video, even thinking that it's time to go, then it's time to go.

Awesome video!

Aswome advice! Thanks so much!

Great value. Thank you for such generosity.

Niiiiiiiiiice. You need *promosm*!!!

I spoke to a female manager when looking for a job, and she gave me an on-the-spot interview. Now, we hit it off great, almost too well, as it seemed that she may have been flirting with me. I didn't get the job, but I wondered if I had, what she would expect of me (like would she want me to stay after work).

The best thing to do is assume you DIDN'T get the job, no matter how well you did. Then keep looking. If you don't have it, you have already moved on. If you get it, you haven't got your hopes up unnecessarily, so it will be a nice surprise. It is always better to hope for the worst and get the best, then vice versa. Also, if you land more than one job offer, you are in the box seat, and can pick the job that bests suits you. You don't owe them anything. .

I think, screw applying for a job. I think the best job is where you offer a service direct to clients. You are your own boss, work your own hours, and only have to answer to the customers (which you have to in any job regardless), but you are the boss, and as long as you provide good service, and are offering a service that will always be needed, you can do really well. I know three people who have done this ( one a builder, another a mechanic, and a third one fixes computers), and they clean up, and are constantly working. I wish I knew a service I could offer, so that I could do this, instead of dealing with disinterested interviewers.

A lot of interviewers want too much, have too high expectations, and some even border on having a God complex. I wonder if employers really want the best worker, or an adequate worker who they can get for cheaper, and not have to pay as much. Businesses are crying out for workers, so should cut the BS and hire someone who can do the job and is good to have around. All the other garbage is not important when you need someone ASAP.

This truly helped me thank you

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I liked the advice on quitting gracefully because leaving on a professional note does more in maintaining good references and professional connections long term.

I'll keep this in mind in preparing for the interview process Thank you for giving me a different perspective on interviewing.

Superb ⭐ Mam after getting hired as fresher what should an employee do to impress the boss & earn promotion without being seen as desperate for attention ? Also is it a good choice to climb the corporate ladder when our aim is to stay away from larger responsibilities & have work life balance ? So that our time is saved & spent with family..

Dawn, thank you for the excellent advice.

I had a phone interview today. I thought it went well but at the end she said "we are doing first interviews this week and will have 2nd interviews next week, you would be contacted if you are moving forward. I knew at that moment I wasn't going to be asked back...disappointed...

If you are over fifty, do not go back more then fifteen years of employment. No more than three or at most four jobs on the resume.

Dawn, Researching a company's reputation is starting to do more, thanks to advice like yours. Thank you for the excellent advice, as always.

Thank you! great questions

Why should we give you notice you don’t give us 2 weeks notice if we are being terminated 😂

This is pure corporate propaganda 😂

Thank you so much!! I'll have a talk with the manager and as my first job I was searching this kind of questions

Great tips, Dawn. These tips will help make more engaging with potential clients & employers in the future.

Very inspiring presentation, Ma'am. I have applied for the "Sales Representative, Business Services Ref No: 3902" role with Sirius Personnel Inc. My name is Cyrus. Thanks

Dawn, this video was right on time! Thank you for the thought-provoking advice, as always😁. Be well.

Really good video

Dawn, this was right on time. Transparency is the key. I started a new contract job a few months back & was excited to work with this client. I've learned a lot about the importance of making sure an employer is as transparent as I am. Thank you for the right advice always.

I've been hired after a 5 minute interview. I've had an hour interview and never offered the job

Why am I here as an old retiree?

Thank you, Dawn, for the insightful tips. One of the things that stood out to me was employment questions and how to answer them. I appreciate the advice.

Very helpful information

if they say were being considered for position in Poland? what does it means? no more interview or our application were being review?

good day ma'am can i ask question? if they said were being considered for a position in Poland? does mean no interview or there's interview

The way I look at your videos you would swear I was some young thing embarking on a career instead of .... you know.

My interview ended with: "I am going to be very honest with you. We are very selective when it come to our candidate in both skills and profile. the selection team don't always agree about one candidate. I need you to know that. We will contact you to tell you about our decision in less than a week. " Just tell me i didn't get the job right now jackass.

I agree with a commenter about short interviews....when you are right for the job and the interview sails along with rapport and covering enough important territory,, sometimes a 15 minute interview is all that is needed..the client and the candidate "know" its a fit.....and why blather on with a process neither one really enjoys.. long drawn out interviews can be such a waste of time...people make up their minds very quickly about who they "like".

The advice about learning from past job experience helps provide applicable skills to the current job an applicant is applying for. I often ask myself those questions, even for a job different from what I'm applying for. That is how transferrable job skills clicked for me without feeling unqualified. Thank you for the sound advice, Dawn.

I don’t know what to do I got a job offer but I’m not sure I wanna make sure I’m making the right choice

I had my last interview and I didn't get any of the points. The guy from the interview was really rude at me, and he told me "I don't even know why you applied to this job, you don't match with what we are asking for, but here we are" and he was not intersted on what I was saying, he was like "Im wasting my time with you on this interview". I feel I'm not gonna get the job.

Ahh so spot on. I just had a 45 minute interview when it's supposed to last for only 30 minutes, and the HR ended the call by saying that she will be sending me an invitation for a line interview afterwards. A sure sign that you passed the interview is when they give you a clear message that you would be proceeding to the next step. Another thing that was relatable here is when the interviewer asks you if you have any other pending applications at the other firms. I thought my interview with my hiring manager didn't go well especially when she asked me about my applications elsewhere. I thought it was a bad sign bec I thought they wanted me to try other firms instead T___T but the next day, I received a call from the HR that i passed the application process and that I should be expecting an offer in a few days.

Awesome video, thanks!

Tremendous advice
