Here's why Interviews Make You NERVOUS

[@st3psp8]

I had 2 interviews last week. I get extremely nervous and I really wanted the job with the first interview. I binge watched your videos. Became very familiar with possible questions and ways to answer them. I did well on both interviews. I was not as nervous as I have been in my past. They offered me the job! I am so grateful I found you on youtube! Great advice! I have recommended these videos to my coworkers also looking to move up. Thank you Mr Georgevich!

[@DonGeorgevich]

congrats on your new job! glad to help you.

[@MB-qd2zz]

This is great! Happy to know I’m not the only one. I’ve been so frustrated with myself about my interviewing performance. Thanks for your tips 😊

[@sharp52092]

Thanks for your videos. I'm typing up some question responses while listening and trying to think of what I'm going to say. Anyway, I filled out this job application Wednesday night and got a call the next day. Needless to say I was shocked. I've been looking for a long time and this one I'll actually be able to put my degree to good use. My interview is on Tuesday. I hope it goes well.

What I dont understand is why didn't Don have 1M plus subs. The most underrated guy on KZbin.

[@DonGeorgevich]

i hear ya. if i had a million subs, then I'd have to pay someone to work the comments....

[@911S]

@@DonGeorgevich and we all know some people have fake subs ;)

It can be hard not to feel nervous, no matter how confident you are that you're a good fit. Being yourself and remembering that you're in the interview because the company is interested in you can really help to calm nerves. They're hoping you like them too!

[@avgonyma1]

I agree. I recently realised this (preparation) is the major clue to anything. I was very prepared (i thought of what they might ask me, i also prepared talking about me in a fluent way), and also had passed the technical home-tasks successfully, and in the interview i was acting relaxed and talked a lot, i wasn't tense. That was a revelation! And you're right, i prepared for 4-8 hours. Sounds ridiculous, but it works. Try to think of everything (specific to this job) that they might ask, then prepare the answers and tell them fluently. That will take the nervousness away.

awesome

[@carrolltonpal]

TO THE DON!!!! I AM 10-0 IN INTERVIEWS SINCE 2014!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@DonGeorgevich]

you are awesome!

[@elliegem8501]

This was me last week! I have not had interviews for the last 12 years! I wish I had seen this video sooner...I know I am so qualified for the job! Let wait and see...

[@susannahdean584]

The long term/short term memory tip was SO helpful!

[@jsmile5218]

I am always nervous in interviews, no matter what, it always seems to be with the jobs I really wanted too. For some reason I am able to get the ones that "if I get it, I get it, or if not, oh well."

[@markwalker5543]

I will be PREPARED because I want to be a part of something GREAT, P.S. The interview guide is phenomenal, thanks again bro.

[@DonGeorgevich]

thanks Mark and best of luck to you

[@faridlavasani1]

Hi Don, Thank you so much for your educational channel. I learned a lot from your videos. I have been looking for a job for a few months and thankfully I had 2-3 interviews with some great companies. I am an experienced and highly skilled person with some college degree in manufacturing filed, but I am losing lots of job opportunities because English is my second language and I can't express myself effectively enough to impress the hiring managers especially over the phone interviews. I am a professional technician with a rich resume but I'm not getting good results only because of my language. I get very nervous and lose all my words and confident during the phone call. I am sure I can do better in a face-to-face interview. I am very disappointed and frustrated for losing all these great opportunities. Is it ok to ask recruiters to have a in-person interview?

[@billlantz8751]

I agree that preparation and visualization play big roles in success.

[@sameralmuhareb834]

Don you the best i was watching your videos, went to the interview in Dubai and guess what they hired me! Thank you man from the bottom of my heart.

[@DonGeorgevich]

thank you my friend.

[@Catlover955.]

I just skipped a job interview 5 mins ago, literally left because I was so nervous. All the preparation and writing I did was in vain. So frustrated!

[@DonGeorgevich]

hope you are better prepared next time

[@solargirl7329]

I feel you dont feel bad i want to runway and not do my interview either but i realize being brave doesnt mean not experiencing fear but confronting fear be strong next time imma try to be strong today too your not alone❤

[@JJ-iq8mi]

I didn't eat or sleep for a week before my interview. Prepared every day for a week. Still fluffed it. Was so embarrassed when I got the feedback.

[@DJ-qi4zz]

Probably your best and most useful one ever Don. Fucking outstanding think this one will help a lot of people!

[@marlanharrow5597]

I was so nervous on my interview...i should say thank you .I say thank dear ..i have headache immediately

[@machumak4915]

I want to be better! I am going to be better thanks to all this extremely valuable information that you share with us. Thanks Don😛🙌🏾

[@DonGeorgevich]

you can do it.

[@aboobackersiddique2619]

Good subject Sir thank U so much

[@Scorp333]

This is a really great video ..I will definitely refer back to it as needed!!!

[@Emily-us4gq]

Wow don I have just discovered your videos as I have this new thing where I am psyching myself out about going for an interview it's so silly. I have been for many in my life and I've pretty much gotten every Job I've interviewed for I'm only 26. I don't think I'm even that bad I think it's just low self esteem and worrying that these people are full on judging me negatively. How do you not think that interviewers are these scary people on pedestals? Cause I swear that's what I convince myself lol

[@user-pb7wl2fq5b]

Emily Bond I have the same issue!

[@ateniahroacher9888]

I have a question Don, I’m in need of some help. What if Im asked “ Name a time you broke policy to make someone’s day better, why?” Is this a trick question? If not, how would I end on a positive note? How would I answer this? Help... thank you. Your videos are very informational. Keep up the awesome work. Your changing people’s live simply by sharing your knowledge and key points.

[@Ha76532]

Hello. I am not sure their intentions of the question, but a great way is to spin it to a positive instead of talking about when you broke a policy.

[@Elly-lx3zi]

Sir I listen to your video that’s totally happened to me. I kind of brain freeze.dont know what to say . Although I’m very qualified..

[@frankiecarrrierivg03]

Any job interview you could get is hard nowadays because you have to submit your resume and cover letter online and you have to wait sooner or later in order to be call up

[@jacobtry6090]

This video is good. I enjoy it. Tnx.

[@DonGeorgevich]

many thanks

Great

[@Weedfish]

Hey Don, I wanted to thank you for your videos - they have helped me a lot. If this help was successfull in helping me to get the job or only helped me gain more knowledge - we will still see. Iwas told, that i would unfortunately not fit exactly for the (leading) role of the new team they were building up. After asking for more clarification on how i could improve myself for the future, it was messaged, that they couldnt give more insight on this, but that they would be grateful, if i would consider them for their future roles (those that eventually will have to be filled in the newly formed team.) From your experience, is it likely that this first "no" could still lead to a "yes" in the future? How reliable are those (not really) "promises"? Best Regards, and again thanks for your work - you rock!

[@Ha76532]

Da Far- Thanks for watching. When it comes to a "no," sometimes yes, there may be more opportunities down the road at that company. They may have been looking for a specific person for the team, but there may be other roles in the company that you could provide. I would continue to follow-up with the company every couple of months to see if they have any new opportunity that you may fit. Best, Don

[@Weedfish]

@@Ha76532 Thanks for answering! Keep up the great work - you make the (sometimes daunting) task of applying for jobs a lot more pleasant for a lot of people :)

[@MG-ui8jk]

Hy sir, watching from East Timor, would you like to make a video about time management skill pls, it would be great if u make it simple and easy to understand because of my English. Thank you

[@Ha76532]

Thanks for reaching out Mery G. I can look into making that video. What would you specifically like to see?

[@jamesryan6224]

Just be yourself. As a business owner, I always pass on applicants that seem pretentious. You can so easily talk yourself right out of a job, lol In case you missed it, "Just be yourself".

[@cu806]

What do you mean talk yourself out of a job?

[@jamesryan6224]

@@cu806 The more you talk, the more you reveal about yourself. You never want to say any more than you have to. When people start talking to me about things I dont care about, it is wasting my time and it can be distracting. Just answer the questions directly, and honestly. I actually hired a guy that wotkd at a crappy restaurant and dint have much training, but he stayed there three years. He said their food sucked and the joint was a dive, and he knew he couldnt get anywhere with his life by staying there. I hired him. One I turned down once was bragging and bull shitting. I ended the interview quickly and marked his application as a "never hire".

[@cu806]

@@jamesryan6224 so what is that all about selling yourself? Do you think maybe it's dependent on industry and the people?

[@Weedfish]

@@cu806 As far as i understood it, Mister Ryan was looking more to answer behavioral questions, rather than expertise. An applicant who, eventhough the product he represented was not to his personal liking, gave his best for a long amount of time - and has a realistic vision of his future (and the need of changing things in his life because of this realistic view) is even in my non-recruiter eyes a far more benefitial employee, than someone who "braggs" and "bullshits" around :)

[@frankiecarrrierivg03]

James Ryan people who worked at low level jobs is harder to ace an interview

[@Thatoneamericanchick]

Interviews sucks when you're not a people person

[@DonGeorgevich]

whats that mean?

[@frankiecarrrierivg03]

I feel embarrassed to record myself to prepare for an interview I rather just write a script and say it aloud

[@tastyDungeon]

Whatever works best for you, i am also embarrassed. Which is actually the root of the interview anxiety for me :p

[@frankiecarrrierivg03]

LRFLekk did u went to any interview and got hire

[@Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward]

This is 30 percent sales pitch

[@DonGeorgevich]

everything in life is a sales pitch. 30% of your interview performance to an employer is a sales pitch ;-)
