I just want you to know that the advice you gave in this video gave me the courage to apply and interview for a position I thought I wasn't qualified for. AND GUESS WHAT! I GOT THE JOB! Thanks :)

How did you do it? What job was it, and what skills didn’t you have?

Melanie, you just inspired me to apply for a job I think I'm no qualified for. Thank you so much.

@@elviscalix1408 I applied for the role of social media coordinator at a marketing agency without any kind of prior experience. I had managed a few social media accounts in my own free time but nothing professional. I knew once I went in for the first interview that it would be an EXTREMELY challenging place to work in, but after watching this video I felt confident enough to kill the second interview. I got the job and I’ve been working there ever since.

In a previous position, part of my responsibility was to hire new staff. Skills can be taught; personality and how you get along with others is, in many respects, one of the biggest assets you can bring to the table. Stay positive, be who you are and if the fit is right, you’ll be hired.

The biggest hurdle is sometimes persuading the interviewer or showing them that yes you can do the job. The interviewr can be very skeptical or scrutinizing sometimes. One of my biggest hurdles.

Thank you for this video. I am kind of in that shoe but maybe slightly have a differing situation I think. I do not know. I have a degree in Safety with no internship or any kind of work experience in safety. I am a people person, I have good listening skills, and can descend to diagnose a good fix. And after listening through the video, I feel that thump that, I can do this in the interviews coming up. Thank you for sharing the video.

I have had three coworkers over 10 years who were not qualified for their positions. They sucked the life out of the rest of us, who took on the work they could not do. It was hell. It did lead me to being self-employed, and my income doubled.

I guess you all were magically qualified and ideal candidates when given your first role huh?

Too many women focus on what they can't do versus what they could do. Already set up for excuses and failure. Most men assume they can and portrait the confidence to do it. They take on the challenge. We need to change our mindset!

Yeah, but when he gets to the 'nitty-gritty' of the matter - he makes the point that it's the techy stuff that will matter! She should gen up as much as possible before next Thursday, so at least she can talk about the bare bones of the system she's supposed to know.

Literally randomly clicked on this and I'm an instructional designer.

She was clearly qualified so the caption definitely didn’t match. 😆

She didn't seem qualified

It means something that you have an interview scheduled. Be confident in that.

K-12 teaching to instructional design is a natural fit. She's got this!

I so needed this & I love your hair... You commented on my new salon booth rental. You also helped me so much at the DR event in Dallas this past January!
