Thanks for this! Saved me a lot of time bec I have an interview later,I'm practicing right now and there's one question I'd like to go back to.

[@corinnebeenfield8227]

I switched from non-profit to the wedding industry a year and a half ago. About a month ago the state's newest luxury venue reached out and asked if I would come interview for their head manager position-then the next day called and apologized, they had meant to contact a Corinne they had been priming for 2 years! But they said, "Happy accident! Come interview anyway, we'd love to meet you." So I decided to put my best foot forward and binged on Cass's videos, prepped all my answers. (Her advice to career changers was GOLDEN as well as this video). At the interview the energy went from "pity interview" to lapping it up! They still went with the person they primed for that position, but because it went so well three other interviews transpired and on Monday I start a position that is a much better fit for my single-mom lifestyle! THANK YOU CASS!! I don't use the phrase, "This changed my life," very often, but I'm using it now!!!! Virtual high fives headed your way!!

[@arlynlopez5383]

Thanks for all your help. I was laid off Nov 25. I started watching your videos on Nov 29. I applied to 6 companies. I was invited to 3 interviews. From the 3 interviews, I received 2 job offers. Accepted the best offer, my first day on the new company is Dec 7, 2020. I applied all I have learned from your videos. You rock!

[@lauryannrodrigue7439]

[@Misdy]

I got 3 days notice for an interview that I had today. Thankfully, I watched your videos and got familiar with the questions. They only asked walk us through your resume-none of the “sweating bullets” stuff. I was so grateful that I thanked them for making it easy. Now, we’ll see. Meantime I’ll craft a thank you for the interview email. Thank You, for posting this info. It was a life saver.

[@windsongdove]

I've literally spent hundreds of dollars on phone calls with interview prep coaches and this video tops them all. I might as well have just started here. I will be using this when preparing for my next job interview!

[@Sh3ylaXD]

Girl… so I had an amazing conversation on the phone with the Manager and was enthusiastically asked for an interview. I agreed and had two days to prep. This video helped SO MUCH. I literally GOT THE JOB! 🙌🏽

OMGG, I have an interview tomorrow at Funplex and I’ve watched almost all of your videos to prepare! wish me luck! UPDATE: I GOT HIRED ON THE SPOT AND I START TOMORROW, THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHHH CASS I COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!💘

[@ahartlmk]

Just wanted to let you know, I watched every single one of your interview videos, did everything you said from practicing, trying on my outfit beforehand, talking to people on my way into the interview, power pose, and asking the question! I had the interview last week and by the end of the day they requested I come in for a second interview! Second interview is today, I reworked some of my answers and have been practicing. Wish me luck!

[@ahartlmk]

Update: I think second interview went well - found out I'm 1 of 2 possible candidates. Made sure to send the thank you afterwards and I should hear something by early next week!

I’ve been trying to break into the banking industry for 4 years as a teller. I’m qualified, I have a lot of customer service and cash handling experience. But I’ve never interviewed well. Because of this video, I was able to nail a job in my dream industry!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@happygrass5]

This is an amazing video Cass. Thank you very much for compiling your other videos into this one. My interviewer asked most of these questions: tell me about yourself, tell me your greatest strength/accomplishment, tell me your greatest weakness, tell me about a difficult circumstance you had with another employee, and why should we hire you. Your insight into how to correctly formulate a response helped me prepare for my interview and be granted a career offer the next day. Peeps take notes, this is worth every minute.

[@patoaventuras]

Just the perfect answer I have been looking for the question, "Why did you leave your last job?" Previously, I had no idea what to say. Thanks Cass. You came to be a life saver.

[@fourgoalfit4251]

I just want to take this time to say thank you so much watched your videos for 2 months. I interviewed for a promotion last week got the phone call today offering me the position. The two questions at the end were spot on. The HR manager told me I blew them away. I highly recommend your videos to anyone applying for a job. Thank you so much God Bless

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

That's awesome! Congratulations!

[@annewinters1615]

WOW just wow! She is a really really great source of knowledge & information & is super easy to watch & understand. There are a lot of time wasters out there but this is so worthwhile to spend an hour on. She has great real world, fresh (not old fashioned like so many others) answers. Another thing, she changes clothes between the answers. While this sounds like a weird comment, it makes it super easy to jump around & figure out whether to go forward or back depending on which section you are trying to find. Thanks Cass. Great class! Update - Gotta say...that "hesitant" question is an effing rock star question. You win either way. You can learn, fight for the job, show you can handle feedback...or...get what you want...an offer. I used this yesterday and the *division president* was impressed and told me I did a great job on the interview! Cass - is that unusual? I thought they usually held that kind of thing close to the vest. I'm tellin ya...if I get this job, you have 20 more coffees coming. You were invaluable and I wish I had found you sooner.

[@Proposal12]

The "Tell me about yourself" question is by far the most "useless" question to ask because it´s too vague and doesn´t really say or answer much about someone even if given the "perfect" answer. I had an interviewer once who said to me at the beginning this and I was blown away by it. "I´m not going to ask you typical interview questions,, because the answers can be googled and people will simply just tell you what you want to hear, I want to get to know the real you" and it was very much just a conversation between two people and he got to know more about me as a person then by asking those "canned" questions, getting "canned" answers. I moved on to the final stage...I even told him that it was one of the best interviews I`ve had and he smiled....Really wish most would adopt his approach.

[@SleuthKahlua]

I have my first job interview on Friday and I'm soooooo glad I found this video. I'll definitely be spending tomorrow practicing for the interview using these tips!

[@JacobKinsley]

OH MY GOD I JUST DID AN INTERVIEW AND IT WENT SO, SO WELL! The recruiter was really into 3D modeling and when I said that I used it as both a creative outlet and for blocking out ideas for projects where 3D is needed at some point, he said that no one in his department except him got into it and, get this, he said 'Something I really want in this workshop is people who are eager to use the new 3D printers and operate machinery'. He also studied at the same university as me and had the SAME LECTURERS for some modules. Holy. Crap. ...oh yeah, I should probably write that other thank-you note before writing this thank-you note...
