I took your advice. I got ready like any other work day. Even shaved for a phone interview. The questions were a little out of my range because of the companies ecosystem. Got the short term contract, that might lead to a full time hire.

Are you a good problem solver? 5. What if your plan backfires? 6. What do you know abt our company? What kinds of products do we make? 7. Tell us a time you solved a problem.

Thank you so much for this! My mom was unwell for the past few years, and needed me to stay home, and take care of her so I wasn't able to work full time. Now that she has past being homeless is a Real possibility, unless I get a good paying job this week. My sister, who has a job where she hires people, has helped me with my resume so it doesn't end up in the "round file". I just finished it, and will be applying for jobs this Monday. So I am taking the weekend to learn about acing jobs interviews both in person, and on the phone. This was extremely helpful.

I've already had two phone interviews and I have one more phone interview, next week. The first two were put on hold because, But, they were still eagered to proceed, once one was available, in a closer area and said to contact them, so, we could proceed to the next step. Which is good. I still have one more to go. Good tips to prepare.

So, on Saturday during lunch, I got a call from a company that set up an interview for Monday (that's today) at 3:00PM. Because it was my son's birthday, I had no time after work to prepare and Sundays I do different things. Monday morning, at 9:30, I read all about the company and filled out their online job application and touched up my resume, then I dug it to your videos. I aced the interview and they hired me!!! WHAAAAH! Thanks to your insights and contagious demeanor I gained the confidence to just get it done.

[@TaiAnLugoRamosREIBO]

I smiled the whole time I listened to the video. Thanks for the tips!! I can wait to ACE my phone interview!!!

[@solamisandwich05]

Same. I'm out of college and would sell a kidney for a fair chance at any decent job. Yet they'll pick and pull anything and everything apart for anyone who doesn't display an oscar performance. As if this wasn't hard enough already.

Many thanks Don. Just one thing: afer many lessons about how to do interviews, I get the impression that speech rivals everything else no matter how good you're in doing the job. You're done if you're not a good speaker.

I think most hiring managers want to put as little effort as possible into it, and just want to get "somebody" onboard as soon as possible and with as little work and time as possible. That s one of the main reasons that they hire recruiters to do the work for them.

@@DonGeorgevich please let me know if you have a video on how to research AND talk about the company during an interview. I'm always told to research the company, but when I do, I never end up being able to fit it into my answers or my interview. I could ask them questions about anything interesting I find I suppose, but I mean, do I just reel off interesting things I saw on there, or what? I've done lots of reading today, but I have no idea how I'll talk about it during the interview.

[@h3arty]

Actually I was able to today! The interviewer said "I'm not sure how much you know about us, would you like me to explain about what we do?" and that's when I said "oh well I've had a look at your website, and..." ahh finally I was able to do it well!! Still would be nice to have a separate video on this some day 😁
