The problem with job interviewing is that everything is SO scripted, both on the interviewer and interviewee side. And this makes it difficult to determine whether a position is truly a good fit on both sides. Some of the best jobs I've landed happened when I treated the interview more like a conversation between professionals and less like a script.

I don't think professional recruiters should exist ngl, there's all these bullshit tactics that are completely pointless because as soon as they get found out they become irrelevant. It's literally just a one big meta-game that I'd rather not focus on and just deal with the details of the job. Why would a person expect "tell us a little bit about yourself" to basically just retrigger a resume regurgitation with embellishment again? Seriously, I hate lying, I don't want to lie, and I don't want to lie by omission, but if I ever want a job, I *have to* lie, because everyone else is doing it, all the while recruiters are eating that shit up while they know its a lie - so it just becomes a meaningless, low information game with unnecessarily high stakes and zero use.

I liked your recruiter example. That was very concise without being braggy. Having sat on more interview panels than I wish to recall, I will relay my experiences with this question. At one company they used it to gauge your comfort level under pressure. If you appeared nervous or uneasy, you were OUT. At another job, they were looking for the concise-factor. If you rambled, you were OUT. At yet another job, they were vicious and honestly wanted to see candidates sink themselves in their own meanderings. What I mean by this is, as the candidate starts to explain their background, they might nervously say "What I meant was..." or "Let me backtrack on that..." Unknowingly, the candidate was self-eliminating themselves in their opening statement! The interviewers would laugh afterwards how "the candidate sunk themselves in their opening salvo". I never laughed. I was disgusted and left that job shortly after. So to summarize, my experience with this question is very negative. It has always been used as an eliminator during the interview process. Part of me thinks that most companies don't understand the real use of this question. It's not meant as a torture tactic to get the candidate to walk over hot coals.

I spent many years interviewing people 1x1 and on panels. I always made a point of getting the candidate to laugh at something unrelated before we started and then made a joke that I wasn’t going to ask that dreaded question. It doesn’t serve anyone to intentionally trying to make candidates uneasy or nervous or “try to get them to sink themselves”. Maybe it’s because I’m a damn human being and remember being on the other side of the table, but I want to actually get authentic responses from people and that can only happen if they feel comfortable. It’s pretty gross that you worked for so many sadistic places that seemingly enjoyed watching people squirm for no reason at all. Edit: I don’t mean you are gross, just the situation. Also, I would simply ask the question I wanted answered. If I wanted them to “tell me why they think they are a good fit” I would ask them that. “Tell me about yourself?” Is the stupidest question ever. Just say what you mean ffs.

Interesting, I was always told the question was just to see if you could communicate effectively beyond simply answering direct questions, but it makes sense to use it as an opportunity to highlight your experience and/knowledge directly related to the position. Anyway, I essentially wrote a small script that was maybe 4-5 paragraphs long and practiced saying it out loud so until it was very natural sounding. Once I did that, I never worried about this question again. Tailoring a small part of it to the specific interview you're in sounds like a great idea.

I just want to say thank you! I’ve had a very lengthy 4 part interview process. After what felt like forever, I was made an offer and was also able to negotiate my salary to a higher rate! I have to say your videos ranging from introduction, to questions you should ask, and negotiating your salary have all been instrumental in my success! I was never great at the interview process although my resume could back me up. After the offer the recruiter told me they knew by the second interview just by the questions I was asking and the way I handled myself. Thank you thank you thank you! You’ve earned a sub from me sir!

Makes me wonder how many great candidates recruiters lose because because mind reading isn't in the job description. Why not rephrase the request to clarify its intent? "Please tell us what you bring to this position that isn't explicitly stated in your CV." Isn't that better? As a hiring manager, I quickly concluded that the standard HR hiring model is broken, and cut HR out of the process whenever I could. Many of my best hires were people who never would've made it past HR because they didn't fit the mold or use the right jargon. The field is ripe for a revolution.

Your logic is not without merit. But also remember you have to come prepared, this includes your ability to read between the lines. HR is judging you on that as part of the process to see if you have a genuine interest in the role. The HR questions are so standardized that you can be ready for each one of them and ace it. Use it to your advantage.

You seem like a very wise guy in the job field. I wanted to get your opinion on something, especially since this video is your most recent and I seek your advice ASAP. On my Docs schedule, there is a shift at 3:30pm (9/23) I could take, "requiring" (I say loosely) four people. One person signed up. Thing is, I'm already working a 10:30 shift tomorrow morning (possibly now by the time you read this), but that doesn't mean I can't sign up for the later shift. The thing is, it's a delivery with service, and I think that's the type of shift my supervisor would be in. Her name isn't on the schedule, but I should think she would be there, given the past deliveries with her coming. Thing is, I really can't stand her. She isn't a toxic boss or anything, but she can be stern and kind of intimidating. She's questioned me before, and I don't like her. Assuming she will indeed be there, that would make it just her and the sole coworker who signed up if I myself don't. I feel guilty about that. I don't completely mind working two shifts on the same day, but if the second is with my supervisor (and, as a negative bonus, a delivery with so much to load, set up, and bring back), I hate that. Based on your job-based wisdom, how wrong do you think it would be for me _not_ to work the later shift pretty much _just_ because my supervisor will likely be there? From my experience and understanding, a smaller number of workers required doesn't make or break them; so far, it seems to me the shifts turn out okay, even if few (or no one) signed up for them on the Docs. I guess there's always someone in the end to take on the job? My manager below the boss never even asked me to work tomorrow's afternoon shift, so that could be good.

Although I'm only a entry level analyst the COO took his time to be aquainted with everyone. I have a unique opportunity where I would be able to write a rough draft and have him sign off on it. It was suggested to me by a senior of mine that I do this, and it won't be out of line for me to request this gesture.

Have you done or can you do a video about what to do if your resume pretty much stinks and you have to find work? Meaning if someone has had more jobs than they can remember, can't recall details about previous jobs and has had gaps in employment. My last job was doing data entry as an independent contractor, which died off as soon as the pandemic hit. I haven't worked since and don't want to go back to that job because the pay was the absolute worst and I was barely surviving and only because I lived as minimally as possible. Being 54 and looking for work again is so hard.

In general asking for clarification is a positive thing. However, the question is vague, the recruiters know this, you need to say something first, otherwise you come across as unprepared because it is a very common question. Give it your best shot and then at the end of your answer ask if there is anything YOU can clarify for them. The best interviews are conversations, not interrogations. That's how you build rapport, which is essential in the game.

The “tell me about yourself”is an immediate turn-off in my book. I think it’s a lazy and disingenuous question designed to throw the candidate off and empower the prospective employer/interviewer/interviewers. I give a quick nickel tour showcasing my experience, why I’m there, what I bring to the table. But as a general rule, if they start with that premise, I’ve already disqualified them on my end.

Well it shouldn't throw you off as every interviewer is pretty much guaranteed to use it. So you should expect it and thus have a good idea of what to say in response. Can show the difference between a candidate that has prepared for the interview and one that hasn't.

I second this. I can respect being prepared but this question is a turn off. It appears to be less of are you a good fit vs how can I disqualify you

It is a wonderful question in that in a way it allows you to start off by explaining things you are good at. HR is going to follow up on this. Don't you see that it can work to your advantage?

Interviews: I either hate them or just don't care. What a pathetic way to determine a person's abilities and worth. Just put them on the job and you'll soon know. There are tons of highly qualified people that are cancelled because of stupid canned interviews.

That is so very true. But if you eliminate recruiters and HR then that would put too many ppl with no skills out of work. That would be bad for the economy.

@ghost mall Ask the interviewee specific questions. If you can't figure out how to piece together a candidate's responses to get a sense of who they are, then you shouldn't be interviewing. I don't mean you specifically. All this question does is make people feel even more uncomfortable in an already stressful situation.

All this scripted interviewing are pretentious & fake. Most.interviews don't even need to be this extensive & scripted for low pay jobs. I don't like that fake read from a script question answer part of it all. It should be just having a real conversation. Not specific answers to their lame questions. It encourages lying & manipulators to take advantage & learn the answers & move on & than we have to work with those bad employees.

Horrible places to get interviews, are most bottling companies hiring warehouse workers. If you are in your 40's or 50's, they absolutely will put you in the no pile. Especially when they ask you questions like, "so what if you have a cocky 20 year old flipping you shit for being slower than them, what would you do?"

I don't know if it's a good idea to overstrain the recruiter with an insanely detailed breakdown of all your work experience and achievements. If you bombard them with that high level of details and play Buzzword-Bingo the only thing the recuiter does is switching off.
