I watched all your videos about job interviews, in addition to learning English, I also learned a better posture for an interview, in my interview they asked some questions similar to the one in the video. I'm Brazilian and I applied for a position as an engineer who needs to speak English. I did really well and got the job. Thank you very much, Rachel!

Dear Rachel, Last year I was approved in a hiring process guided by this video. I wrote down every tip and every detail of your guidelines. Last week, I was approved in yet another hiring process and, again, I revisited this video to prepare for the interviews. It worked again! I see this video as a classic of essential videos for anyone who wants to be approved in a hiring process. It's just amazing how this works!! Congratulations on the content.

[@jahualhaq9853]

I have some questions: 1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate). 2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role 3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies 4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years* *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*.

[@quantum7934]

Hey, Rachel! This video was really out of the box. I didn't expect you to come with the 'INTERVIEW' series. Let me clue you in, Rachel!. You justified this video by bringing some cool interview tips and many interesting idioms and phrases that caught my eye. I acknowledge! How well have you used these words, such as PERSEVERE, DEMEANOUR, CHOCOLATE, CRITIQUE?!. I adore the way you explain, the correct sitting posture. There are still many things to incorporate. I like the interviewer's demeanor and his sets of questions too. Perhaps, your performance, I would highly appreciate and last but not least, that last question you asked ( IMAGINE.. ) was a really good one. I think this interview will help me to increase my probability of hearing these two words 'YOU'RE HIRED', whenever I'll go for an interview. I have a question for you, Rachel! Sometimes you pronounce T in INTERVIEW, you drop it as well. Make the cat out of this question box, Rachel! Finally, excited about your Tuesday video!.
