Watching this cuz I’m starting my dream job next week and thanks to her amazing tips I was hired!

[@IsisRenee1]

I got a new job thanks to your “Questions to Ask at the End of an Interview” and “What’s Your Biggest Weakness” videos. After I answered that question the interviewer said “wow, you just answered my next 4 questions. Nice.” Thanks so much for making these helpful videos. Just finished the one about exit interviews. You’re awesome, Isis Toussaint

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@timmontagjr.3171]

How did you structure your answer that you answered 4 questions?

[@susannalaughlin5965]

I just wanted to say I GOT THE JOB!! I had my pocket answers and I practiced them, and practiced them and practiced them so many times. All the interviews went so very smooth. I have not been in an interview in over 20 years. With your help I did it!!

I just got a SECOND interview with the GM thanks to yuour advice! THANK YOU! I asked the "hard" quastion and the interviewer didn't even flinch. She scheduled the next interview on the spot! It's on a Sunday which is wierd, but it's still a second interview.

[@prestonhurst]

@Kry Kry Most companies I've had interviews with usually start with the hiring manager interview, but ultimately it's the General Manager (or the equivalent) that makes the decision, hence the second interview. Which is retarded. Like, why even HAVE a hiring manager?

Hi Cassandra- I got the job!! I was laid off from a job I loved & had been at for almost 15 years . I started interviewing and watched several of your interviewing videos. I learned so much and used many of the tips. I start my new job in about 10days! Thank you for all the great information!

I’m Starting a new job next week. Such great advice.

[@SugaryPhoenixxx]

I am one of those people who can listen to something & remember 95% of it. But when I got my first sales job I went out of my way to write down tons of notes despite the fact that I didn't necessarily need them to remember. It made a very good impression with my managers & they brought it up to me after I had worked there for a year & said they knew I was going to be a great employee because I took so many notes when I started. I had them fooled but I was still a great employee! I am not always a people pleaser but I think first impressions are very important, especially in sales. Sometimes we need to do things for other people, not just ourselves. That is what working as a team is all about.

[@Abbasid2023]

I just got my new job offer yesterday. I will try out these tips and your videos have been so helpful for interview prep. I wish I would have found your channel sooner. Thanks again for all your tips.

[@paryakhoshroo5204]

I got my first job in Canada after watching your videos, especially after practicing your videos for the second round of interviews. I am so grateful for all your help and useful information, without them I was not able to get the job. So I truly appreciate your valuable time. :))) Besides, I love your very nice personality, your videos are not only informative but also very fun to watch. Thank you :)))

[@karaingram4833]

I GOT THE JOB! I used how to answer “Tell me about yourself “ and “Questions to ask at the end of the interview .” I was told I asked really good questions of the interviewers. Thank you for your guidance! I appreciate it!

[@ericmilzarski9659]

Hey Cass! You make amazing content and I've always referred back to your videos. But today I seem to have found myself in the exact opposite situation. I was just laid off about an hour or so ago. It wasn't personal just the way things go some times. I was given my two-weeks notice because "restructuring issues." I shook hands with my manager, asked if I could get a nice letter of recommendation, and thanked him for the opportunity I've had so far. I kinda saw the writing on the wall since the new year. I've been casually looking - which I guess means I've got to start actively looking now - but it still doesn't take the sting out of it. I need some advice. What's your advice on making the most of your final two weeks? That might be a bummer of a video, I know, but hey. "When life closes a door..." or however the saying goes.

Great video! I move to another city and start work in about 3 weeks, so gotta be prepared. Surely will take a ton of notes! The other day we had a kind of orientation with other people who had also landed the job, but nobody was getting notes - so I felt it would be weird if I was the only one doing it. Now I kind of regret it - maybe everybody wanted to write stuff down, but everybody was shy or self-aware of what other people were doing, and I should have been the one to break that awkardness. Or maybe I am just nervous and overthinking everything 🤪

[@timmontagjr.3171]

I feel the same way as you! The meeting conversation continues as I’m noting something that applies to me and I feel like I might miss content while I’m writing myself a note. That’s even writing myself just a few words to spark my memory and not writing full sentences.

[@sapphire-holytornadoes1118]

Question - With COVID-19 would you still recommend donuts or pastry of the area for the last day of the week? For example I love to bake and I was wondering your thoughts on would you still recommend buying baked pastries or would it be okay if I were to bake some pastries for the last day of my first week? While I just started my job search after my 3 year contract was rejected for renewal with COVID-19 aftermath, I'm trying to prepare for the ins and outs of this process. I love your videos. I've been taking notes from all of your videos now just putting it into practice. Thanks for all you do to help myself and others with these wonderful tips!!! You rock! I'm going to use these tips and pray I get a new job. I hope you have a wonderful day!!! 😊

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

This is something a lot of people have asked lately. My thought is try to bring in something pre-packaged- Buy a set of cold brew cans at Costco or make use of all the Halloween candy out right now and put them in a cute bowl or basket and set them out. Something not too crazy to show your appreciation. But yes, totally get that the pandemic took away our donut sharing!
