How To Get Your Dream Job | Mimi Ikonn

[@AnjaTodorovic]

I think the most important thing you said is that "Don't be nervous, they WANT you to succeed". It makes perfect sence and I've never thought about it, but it changes your whole attitude when it comes to an interview. Great video, thanks Mimi! :)

[@Angelina-dw6dq]

agreed💯💯

[@nataliesoutlet]

Great tips Mimi! Loved the sparkle effect! I feel like it's more of an aura and you feel people are genuinely interested in bringing value to the job. Great video

[@eerikkitaa]

Mimi, You are truly inspiring. Today I rewatched Alex video "What to do when you are unemployed? or How to get a job!", because right now I struggle with myself, feeling more down than usual. Recently I decided that studies I chose did not make me happy, so I just left without a doubt, but as days pass I feel so lost, not only with finding a job, but also with what to do next with my life. I know that university is not the only way in ones life, but I know I want to study something. Right now I feel like a failure, but watching Yours and Your husband Alex videos somehow makes me think that every person has it's own path in life. Mimi, keep what You are doing, because You have a beautiful soul and You bring light into people's lives.

[@MimiIkonn]

+Erika Bakūnaitė I never finished college and I turned out pretty good, haha! So no worries...I suggest asking yourself the questions I mentioned in this video and then finding the job you are excited about.

[@barbarafatelier]

+Erika Bakūnaitė Hi Erika! I know how you're feeling. I'm a nurse since 2009 and I'm unemployed for 6 months. I've sent hundreds of resume and I've got no job. I live in Brazil, here is quite hard to find a job in nursing. I was feeling so down and I was feeling so lost. Then I started to study English and French, because I always wanted to learn other languages and someday I can move to another country. Now I'm selling cosmetics and clothes to get some money and I created a blog, too. I'm feeling better, but I don't have a job yet. I've got 7 interviews but no ones hired me. This is so hard to handle. But I'll keep trying to find a job. I can't give up. You should try to do something that makes you happy as I did, till you realise what you want to study.

[@leylaflower1135]

+Mimi Ikonn #evolution comes from all those who have great passion

[@leylaZahar94]

I know how you feel. I switched univetsity 3 times and i feel as if k can't do anything Right and i feel so lost....

[@Angelina-dw6dq]

you're so brave to leave school because it wasn't right for you. Just keep doing you and going towards the direction you wish to go❤️ all the best and we'll always have Mimi & Alex to look up to👍🏼

[@jamisongee3324]

I was born with the sparkle and it has served me so well over my 60 years on this planet - dream jobs have come my way, truly amazing friendships and relationships and I'm just about to begin another new and exciting job! This sparkle comes from within, of that I am sure.

[@EvaRedson]

Every single time you post a video, you give me more motivation to chase my dreams! Love you Mimi

[@tiarahines]

+Eva Redson You took the words right out of my mouth! Love Mimi! She's always so positive, so inspiring and so motivating!

[@cerise8051]

Yes, please make a video what to wear for an interview

[@egglover9252]

Yes please Mimi do video about it it's so interesting to watch ☺️😘🙏🏻❤️

[@sapnanayak1453]

I wish she did a whole new talk series for getting mind and giving a good impression

[@maherookhan4469]

how to have a sparkle in the eye? that would be a great video!

[@MissCofia33]

I think she means, when someone's eyes light up when they are passionate about what they do. If you love what you do, the sparkle will be there naturally. You can't fake it. :)

[@maherookhan4469]

+MissCofia33 thanks for replying!

[@YildizOktar]

Couldn't agree more with you, I recently had a job interview and I must say, preparation is key. From your makeup to your hairstyle, from your outfit to your shoes. From printing your resume to preparing a Q&A. You will feel way more confident during the interview and you're likely to be less nervous. Thank you for this video Mimi

[@Keltynnn]

Mimi, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I just graduated from university and have been applying for jobs over the past month. I realize now that I haven't been getting these jobs because I didn't have the "sparkle in my eye." I wasn't passionate about the jobs I was applying for. I wasn't aiming for the stars and applying for the job of my dreams. I am afraid of my dreams: Afraid I wont reach them. But of course I wont reach them if I don't even try to pursue them! This video was so helpful and I am feeling so inspired and recharged to keep applying. Thank YOU!

[@beatadziedzic6576]

+Keltyn Kiresa Don't be afraid to apply for your dream job NOW, it will not only make you happier and healthier, but will save you a lot of time and probably money ;) However it could be hard to decide what is your true calling straight after university and how you can be 100% sure? Probably not, so is good to apply for jobs that resonate with you ( Mimi talks about it in the 1st part of this video) rather than just look for the ideal one. If you still feel it is challenging you can read "What Color Is Your Parachute?" and do exercise described in the book. Enjoy!

[@turnstyletouchbunny]

+Keltyn Kiresa I don't want this to be a downer but don't count on the first job being your dream job! I mean it could happen but in most cases the first job graduates get will literally be first one...followed by a second, a third, etc. Don't worry about it not being perfect. At the beginning what matters is getting your foot in the door, getting experience, and creating a network

[@Keltynnn]

+Keltyn Kiresa I just wanted to thank you for your replies. It's been a crazy week, but I actually managed to get a part-time contract job in the field of my dreams! It's the perfect job to get me exactly where I want to be and will propel me towards my dream job.

[@elisaflammini2492]

I love the fact that, although it is a long video, it's not boring at all because you don't ramble and go straight to the point. I really appreciate the clarity you have when you expose these subjects, since I imagine it must not be easy at all! :) Love from Italy

[@internqueen]

I completely agree working for free (internships) many times can help you realize what you like and don't like doing. They can also help you get a glimpse into the industry you want to work in. Great video Mimi! I'm a recent subscriber and love all your videos!

[@biancarenee6756]

Some people can't pick and choose sometimes you have to take any job to support your family.

[@raquelcarvalhoj]

+Bianca Fisher thats so true..

[@darkpearl88]

+Raquel Carvalho no, it's only true because you believe it to be true

[@kaungkhantthein5348]

After watching this video, I went for an interview. I passed the first round. Now I am waiting to go in for the second round .Thank you Mimi. I love you! From Sydney.

[@nelliedeleon3817]

Thank you for this video. This shed light for me. For many years I had been told and taught that , in order to get a job that I my resume, and interview had to pretty much be short, generic, and to the point. I had been told that employers dont have the time to read these resume's so more than likely the longer resumes would get passed by. I am currently looking for a job, and this truly confirmed to me that its ok to show my passion and personality. I love these types of videos and thank you for your love and passion in what you do.

[@sophia-pia]

I'm 15 and I am constantly asking myself what I like and what I want to do, especially when our school expects an answer! Your videos really help me with dealing with these kinds of questions and with staying positive and trying to be mindful etc. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon you and Alex! You have helped me a lot this past year, so thank you! 💖

[@angelicadau8122]

I love how passionated you are about giving us tips and preparing us to go out and explore with more confidence to apply for a job whether you have a degree or not . You are so sweet and always trying to help , that's why I love your videos.

[@RosaDaniello]

It was so sad for me to be afraid of shining. I used to talk to my friends about it and they just couldn't understand what I meant because I am so ambitious and I look so confident so they just couldn't see my fear of succeeding at something and finally shine. Now I know I'm not alone and I got emotional too when you said it because I feel less lonely and in some ways understood. All the information you gave in this video are really helpful by the way, and I'd like to see the other videos you suggested :) But the best part of the video is the end, when you talk about the "sparkle in the eyes" and I totally get what you mean. I really do love talking with someone who has that sparkle, and I mean even from a non professional point of view: I just love when people I've just met or even my friends talk about something they're really passionate about because they smile so lovely, they got excited and their eyes just speak their soul and I totally understand why you are looking for someone who can do all these things while applying for your company. I mean, every employer would be happy to hire someone who's really passionate about the job because it means he/she understands and care about the company himself. Anyway I'd see every video of yours just because I like you as a person and I'm really curious about your point of view about certain things so please do the fashion & sparkle related one! Have a nice week :)

[@scarabottenoname3967]

I am going to apply for an internship tomorrow and I was stressing out so much... But I have the sparkle in my eye ! This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you Mimi

[@MyStrawberryHeart]

I saw this video a while ago....and today I am applying for my dream job and thought I should rewatch it to psych me up and help me write a cover letter that shows how much I really want this job and why I am the solution to their problem (as you put it). Thank you for providing constant motivation through your videos. I hope you make all your dreams come true. Have a nice weekend! xx

[@Airinmo]

I have the sparkle in my eye! (anime eyes) this video came to me just in the right time.

[@MimiIkonn]

+Airin Moreno Good luck!

[@boompeach]

You should do a video on how to get dressed for an interview! :D Yeey! :D

[@inkap5824]

Mimi, you can not even imagine how much you are helping this word to be a better place. And not only that, you are helping to make many ppl (me!) totally inspired to live a passionate life. Thanks soo much and I promise to spread the spark futher on! 💖

[@holisticmaya]

I got teary eyed when you told us the quote about our true fear... This is totally me. I'm almost 24 years old and am still scared to succeed. Weird but so hard to get past it...

[@mariazak37]

Mimì, you really have sparkle in your eyes EVERYTIME: if you talk about food, about fashion and travel, about your companies! You have sparkle because you basically love what you do :)

[@MarjoleinEvelienKlok]

That quote got me emotional too. I completely understand its deeper meaning. Thank you for making this video. It comes at the right time as I am currently looking for a business or organization to graduate at with a research paper. The second I'm done typing this, is the second I am going to work to get my dream internship!

[@malinrandeniye4448]

My best tip is to see an interview as the first day of your new job. I tell this to all my friends who goes to interviews. The reason that it works is because then you start asking the right questions instead of thinking about yourself.

[@simplyshama]

Like all of your advice videos, this is really great and incredibly helpful. I started applying for internships at 17, despite the legal age being 18, and got replies from everyone I applied to because of the effort I put into my CV and cover letter to stand out. I even had the editor at one of my internships show my CV to the entire office (an infographic I created on photoshop). I'm now a writer for the first magazine I interned at so the effort you put in really does pay off guys!

[@TheShipraDiaries]

Mimi, this video could not have come into my life just at the right time. I have been struggling figuring out my life for a while now, and you have provided me with the motivation to accomplish my dreams and fight all my demons to get there. Thanks for always inspiring me. Love always xoxo

[@g.s.632]

I truly hope you have!!!!!

[@susanalves18]

Hi Mimi! You are so beautifull! i've went all the way down to depression cause i never question myself if what i was doing was right for me...now i' ve decided to change my career... I m trying new things to actually get to know what brings me joy! It is quite painfull sometimes to tell you the truth! But i m so happy right now, even in the middle of a lot of tribulation and even if i dont know were is this going! THANK U so much!!! You and Alex have been my friends in this process! I love u!

[@melinamedina780]

I finally got my dream job interview today, and I am so nervous and excited. You are a true inspiration; everytime I watch your videos I feel so empowered and confident. You just make me believe that my dreams can become a reality. It is true that you have to go after your dreams and do not give up. I applied for an interview about 2 years ago and kept re-applying, I just did not give up, today I am finally going to my interview =)

[@linddaaa]

Mimi THANK YOU SO MUCH! Not long after you posted this video my friend showed me a job posting that she knew I'd be very very interested in. I rewatched your video a few times and interviewed all week, and I just found out that I got the job today!! I truly think I got hired because I had a "sparkle in my eye" because this was in an industry I had no experience in and I was competing against people who actually had the technical experience! But I practiced and studied and now I actually have the job :) I can't thank you enough Mimi, you're an inspiration!

[@nannalambert3980]

Mimi, everything you mention in this video is great. As an older woman I do not want to discourage the young generaton. It is not easy to be hired now a days. There is a tremendous challenge and also I believe you have to attribute "luck" and "who you know." So to the new generation do not feel bad not being hired even with the best resume. Keep trying and do not loose hope, do not feel sad even though you are not happy at your job. Sometimes things happen for a reason at times. Good luck to all.

[@LauraBoontje]

Smart! Making this video a day after releasing your need for a new videographer. Also, I can so relate to what you're saying about being happy in 'whatever' you're doing, but also pushing further on what it is you enjoy about it. I cherish my memories of working as a waitress from 15 onwards, I remember loving my super-tough, long-hour shifts and still trying to give every customer my biggest smile. Being able to make somebody's day made me so happy.

[@FedericaMutti]

Mimi, I really really thank you so much for all these wonderful and inspirational videos you make. I'm 20 years old and I'm figuring out what I want to do in my life and how I will reach my goals and dreams and your videos help me so much with everything! Your words are so motivational and I'm really happy when I'm watching you, I feel so powerful and confident! Last week I published an article on the Italian web magazine I work for (tasc.it) and it was about the 3 women that have inspired me during the year, of course you were one of them! I will share this video on my social media, I think everyone should watch this and learn a lot from your tips.Thank you so much my dear Mimi, you are amazing. Lots of love from Italy!

[@joelizabethwilder]

You're the kind of person I could have benefited listening for 'careers day' at school. I got my first job at 14 year old for Clarks shoes, I was too young really, but I remember being hungry for the position, and pulling out all the stops. I got hired on the spot, and it felt so good. I'm my own boss now, and when I come to hire people soon, I will be looking for that sparkle in the eye too. Great work Mimi 👍

[@theshoppaholic95]

You're amazing Mimi, my dad actually has many successful companies and when i listen to you and alex, i see you have the same vision of life has him and that amazes me. It is definitely the way to go in life. Lots of love! Xx

[@jessicamoore5180]

Yes yes yes! I would love an interview lookbook!!! 😍😍😍 I'm planning on applying to a bank and I'd love to get some ideas! This video is amazing and I really appreciate how much you do for your subscribers! Love you Mimi! 😘 mwuah!

[@averykiefer9941]

Hi Mimi! This video came at the perfect time for me, as today was my first day of studying to become a Graphic Designer, my dream job. Watching this while getting ready for my big day this morning helped give me some more confidence to start off on a great note! Thank you for inspiring us all to go after what we want in life and putting in the work to be successful!

[@mizzonno]

HI Mimi I am sending this video to all my friends! I was lucky enough to find my dream job after returning to my hometown last year. I love to help people, have fun with others, and to travel. Surprisingly enough I found this job that gives me all three at once. I figured that I would never be able to find a job that fits all these three things in when I was young. I've had jobs that have one or two but never the three. I would like to say that it's possible and it does take time. I took 7 years to come back to my hometown after college and university and working in another city to find it. Also I would like to support your opinion about it not being about money. You have to be happy to get up in the morning and at the end of the day. If you are genuinely happy in your dream job, the money is second. Thank you for posting this video and all the amazing up beat encouragement videos.

[@mihaelal8838]

Yes to "what you wear for an interview". Great tips&tricks Mimi. Have a great week! Lots of hugs.

[@xoCHAISExo]

i've never been so inspired by a youtuber before! i could only hope to work with or for someone like mimi. a job that allows me to be creative with inspiring people surrounding me is honestly a dream and i plan on achieving it in the future. thanks mimi!

[@ashleyy6592]

Yes Mimi please make a video on having sparkling eyes! I'm in the process of starting my own business right now, it's not easy but what drives me is my genuine desire to create value, uplifting people and giving back to this world. I read tones of books as my virtual mentors and I watch lots of interviews/videos of people that I admire and aspire to be (you and Alex are definitely in this list!) and what I've realised is that you all have this sparkle in your eyes, I want to live with that kind of sparking eyes as well! So again, please make a video on having sparkling eyes! Being a fan of yours for a long time but first time writing a comment. Love ya Mimi!:)

[@beatadziedzic6576]

+Ashley Y Let me give you one advice - for the next 2 weeks watch one Mimi's video EVERY morning ( focus more on her business/ personal growth videos). That is it. I am convinced this is one of the best business advices;) an ambitious woman can get. When I decided I want to set up my own business I did it and it helped me a lot in the challenging time of the shifting to a different reality. Let me know:)

[@roxcandymountain]

More of these please! I'm in transition right now in my employment and I'm trying to find that "perfect job" and way of life for me and my family. These videos are immensely important and inspirational to me!

[@thejesscheng]

This video came at the exact right time, I'm between jobs right now and am trying to get back into the fashion and creative industry in Toronto. It's hard sometimes when you don't hear back from certain companies but I must keep in mind to never take it personally when certain agencies receive hundreds of applications per posting. Had no idea you are originally from Toronto, just found your channel recently and instantly subbed - will be watching all your videos now Mimi :)

[@LuOsorio]

Very good video Mimi. I think another tip would be to don't underestimate yourself. I've seen a lot of people not applying for the job they want because they assume they are not going to call, but you have to dare to apply for your dream job and show them your passion and motivation to do it. You can acquire experience or knowledge but you can't acquire that attitude.

[@sarahmavignierr]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you,Mimi!! I REALLY needed this video because i have no one to advice me how to behave in a job interview. Recently,i applied for a job at my university but i got rejected and i cried soo much! I smiled a lot,i didn't spoke more than i should,i didn't showed that i was nervous BUT i tried not to be myself in the interview! I am SUCH a passionate person,all my friends tell me that,and now i know that i didn't show how much i wanted that job. Next time,i will be myself and tell them how much i want to help the university in anything they need!! You are a true friend to me and my favorite human on this earth! :DD

[@Emilyak85]

This video was an absolute godsend!! I'm in the process of growing my career in banking and I totally related to your stories about serving people. I love that part of my job. Your advice nailed it and I can't wait to utilize more confidence in the job market!!

[@roxyismylife]

I needed this so much! I'm looking for a job for two months now and it is very easy to feel depressed when you got rejected a lot of times. But you and Alex are constant reminder that I have to continue and dont give up, so thank you for that! On interviews I always say that I want to bring some value to the job and to go one mile further and they are always surprised with this attitude (well, not enough cause Im still unemployed :D) Aaaanyways, thank you for everything you and Alex do, without you I would probably cry in my bed about how nobody wants to hire me :D

[@Buttercupaatea]

thank you Mimi for this spectacular video! My mom does not want me to get a job (I'm 16) but I love the excitment that I get when I work hard. today I am going to apply for a job at a frozen yogurt shop. it is not my dream to be a frozen yogurt shop owner, but I am interested in business and people. You have made me realize that a job is not just about the money, but the experience. love you!!

[@hannahturner6693]

Mimi, this was such a useful video! Thank you! I have to say your quote stuck out to me the most. I definitely recognize my "friend" fear when it comes to showing my light and brightness. I'm on a journey of finding myself, I have to say you and Alex have helped me so much, for that I am truly grateful! Wonderfully done video!

[@karolinauvizlova4309]

Thanks Mimi! Your videos keep my motivated and make me try harder ! I'm a student now but I try to make my visions become a reality in every possible way and I try to take every chance and every opportunity to learn, just as you say in your videos. Please do the video about the sparkle in the eye ! I absolutely know the feeling when you meet someone that has a sparkle, energy doesnt lie ! Love you!

[@kingajesman1503]

OMG Amazing timing. Just today I start looking for a new job. Everyday I felt I I'm loosing more and more energy. Now is time to get it back and I'm really happy and excited for the new will come. Thanks Mimi for you great advices 😘😘😘

[@nadia7595]

Thank you so much for this Mimi! It's so great to hear from someone who is on the hiring side. It's changed how I view applications and interviews. I also found from experience that applying for your dream job is in some ways easier than for a job you don't really want to do. I worked at a supermarket because I wanted extra money at university and the application was so tedious because I found it really hard to answer questions like "Why do you want to work for us?" But when I was applying to my dream master's degree course, writing the statement of purpose came so natural because I was so passionate about it.

[@NOWHEREGOD]

Hey Mimi! I totally agree with you! From my own experience when I was looking for a job I did not expect to get a good salary and was even ready and open to work for free (like internship and volunteering) as far as I really wanted to be a part of that team and do what I love the most. And how many applications I send non of them reacted towards me as possible candidate because I was luck of experience as I just graduated from my University. However, I never gave up even I felt so down and not appreciated I can tell that being honest to your possible employer is the biggest plus. That is how I got 2 jobs at the same time, just by writing very open and honest letter without attaching my portfolio (I am a graphic and web designer also working with production in general filming and editing). So one thing that is for sure right - if you want something from all your heart and do anything that do not harm others to get fulfil your goals as job you want for this matter, you will always get one! People should stop being stubborn, do whatever it takes to and believe in themselves no matter that previous job interview was not successful or application did not get through the next step!

[@leidycalderon1095]

that's why I love you woman because of your mind, and advise. Now I am creating my vision board and now this, its like my best friend on the internet listening the things I want to hear from people near to me. Thanks you very much. I love each one of your video and this is your dream job because nobody can do it as you do. sending lots hugs and kisses from Dominican Republic.

[@linzithreipland945]

[@karolinaannis2743]

Hey, interning for free and just getting out there and telling people and institions that I really want to work for them - that's exactly how I got most of my jobs so far :) I'm a historian, and all my former university classmates are complaining that this field is so competetive that you don't have a chance getting a job, but that's not true. You just have to try hard and show people your passion and interest, and they will be happy to give you that chance! Btw thanks Mimi, I always watch your videos when I'm feeling a little down or depressed and I always feel encouraged and inspired afterwards!

[@mialarsen3585]

Would love to see both videos you mentioned Mimi! Both the sparkle and what to wear to all sorts of interviews. Thankyou so much for taking the time to create these videos, so inspirational! xx

[@SoowTH]

You make me feel like a superhero. Thank you from the depths of my heart. Your words mean a lot to me. Thay make me want to stay sleepless because of how wonderful the life is! You are the piece of art, Mimi Lots of love from Ukraine♥

[@gr8o2h2o]

Mimi, great inspiration given by your video. Another thing being on both sides of the hiring process is sometimes the employers are not clear about what they want, where they are going and if being the best is important. I listen to employers and potential employees when they say they are the best and are market leaders. I ask how do you know you are the best. The ones that are the best are able to articulate the moment in their life when it was evident they were the best, show it and explain it. I may not understand it, but I look at the energies from them and it is clear what excites them and why they are who they are. It takes a very good HR person or someone who can bring that out in a person. Not many have those skill sets knowing you have that feeling you are looking at a diamond in a rough. It is a spiritual evidence that people give you when you allow them to give there inner selves to you. You feel it and yes you can go through hundreds if not thousands to find that one diamond in the rough. I tend to feel the words since the words give a lot of clue about themselves.

[@vvstiya]

Mimi, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I love every single one of it! I can see how much effort you put in there. I'm starting professional photography and I can't agree with you more .. Thank you so much for your wonderful work..You are truly inspiring! Wishing you nothing but happiness and success!!

[@kelonda]

I truley feel grateful for this inspiration and im only in the first couple minutes! Its true. I am afraid of my light. But as the new year continues i am trying to challenge myself to break this habit so that i can achieve all my dreams. This wont happen if im scared. And i have to start somewhere. So thank u for this.

[@cecelliiiaaaa]

[@chloenoretkrey1265]

[@kannitha89]

I'm scared.... Now for the first time in my life, I have the time and the means to perhaps create a project that I love to do, but I'm scared... I'm afraid to fail before I even dare to begin, I guess I'm so afraid because if I fail, it's my heart on the line as well, it's not just business. Thank you for making this video, I'll sit back, and ask myself what I REALLY REALLY want to do in life. Thanks Mimi, you're very inspirational to me.

[@leylaflower1135]

This advise is on point! Yes, calm those nerves down ! Excitement is great but communicate with the interviewer, you must share your joy!

[@sjp1902]

Please do more of these types of videos mimi! It gives so much insight and I can't wait to apply these tips in the future 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@marissacohen11]

Hi Mimi! I am a college student, so I found this video to be exceptionally helpful! This is all the information that traditional education does not teach us that we NEED to know! Thank you so much for this great advice. Please please please do more videos like this.

[@annacurrubicapdevila480]

I like all your videos, but I love this one. I like a lot the wide range of topics you cover: fashion, beauty, travelling, food, work ... This video is very useful for everyone. I am afraid of losing my job and I am sure your tips will help me in case I have to search a new one. It's a little difficult to "sell yourself" when you are shy. The key is convincing the company that they need you. :) I would like to watch videos about what to wear in the interviews and the sparkle in the eyes.

you seem like such a genuine person, I admire you so much.

[@Citylivingguide]

We think alike! I have my dream job now and I'm as happy today as I was when I was a teen so long ago, working in a bookstore in Toronto. So glad I found your videos - they help me to inspire my own kids who are on their career path now. You're such a refreshing and brilliant voice in the world Mimi!

[@joyjoyoo]

Which bookstore(if you don't mind me asking) ??

[@Citylivingguide]

Smith and Jenkins bookstore - long gone.

[@joyjoyoo]

City Living Guide aw man..i wanted to visit,lol

[@Citylivingguide]

Ha - the bookstore job was years ago when I was a teen! I wanted to be a book editor. 10 years later (after university) I ended up working in my dream job in corporate public relations. Skills I gained in the book store + schooling positioned me to do a job that encompassed all the things I liked doing (writing, editing, promoting).

[@joyjoyoo]

City Living Guide nice. I was doing PR for a bit too as an entry level. Now i am doing media engaging

[@mandy631]

Thank you Mimi for creating this video. I have been seriously job hunting now for a while now in the creative field and it is really easy to get discouraged with "am I practical in my career goals", the truth is it doesn't matter entirely if it is practical, its what I'm good at and what I love and I'm not destined for just settling. You video gave me a little more motivation to keep going. I know all this hard work will pay off! Thanks for being so beautifully inspiring

[@pallavihushangabade7494]

omg..Mimi,you so inspiring and full of energy.I am facing same problems while finding my dream job.I am in technical(software engineer by profession) field and I don't enjoy it much but i also don't know what i enjoy the most.But i m gonna follow your techniques and lets where it goes . Thanks a ton .you are really Mimi the ICON (Ikonn).

[@andrear6566]

Yes please make a video about how to have a sparkle in your eyes! It would be incredibly beneficial, especially coming from you Mimi!

[@tiarahines]

It was so beautiful to see how passionate you are about helping people reach their potential and live their dream life. As an aspiring business owner I am now faced with the reality that I will soon have to build a team so I really appreciated your advice. Cover letters are such a crucial element in the hiring process. They really give life to the resumes. And internships are such an amazing opportunity to build your skill set and network with people. And today, most internships are paid which is a nice bonus. Definitely loved that you mentioned body language. So much can be said about a person from the way they carry themselves. And I loved that you said the employers want you to succeed. They want you to be the person they want to hire. Such a great, positive message! Overall, great advice, Mimi!!!

[@perrinebtll]

Hi! I know about "the secret" and the attraction law, and I just realized how much it was closed to your way of life in a lot of points, so I wanted to thank to share this with all of us. I 'll try to apply it today and I hope my life will be as full of happiness and great fullness than yours. Thank you again your such an amazing person, love you ❤️ from France 🇫🇷

[@689acdc]

Mimi, just want to say thank you for your positive attitude ( your always positive attitude!) and valid advices!

[@Godilove100]

I still have a year left to finishing college but I really what to prepare myself, so I'm so happy that you made this video. You don't get this quite often, because employers really don't want to give trucks on how to get hired, so I thank you soooo much for giving us this information!

[@thejellybeans92]

Hi Mimi :) My names Cynthia, and I love watching your videos. The one thing I love most about your videos is how enthusiastic and cheerful you are. Watching your videos makes me feel good and inspired. Just like this one for instance. I learned a lot. You mentioned different things that I would have never thought about. For instance on how the employer wants you to succeed and if you are nervous to just mention it while mentioning how thankful you're for the opportunity. Watching your videos makes me feel like you're my older sister giving me advice :) Id love to see a video on how to have a sparkle in the eye.

[@irinanezhyvenko1106]

Thanks to you and this video, two mounth ago I GOT my first job! Thank you for your always right advices, Mimi !

[@lailaakbar5283]

one thing I noticed we as human WANT to get motivated. I have my dream job thank GOD but still these motivating words keeps me charged :) life seems easy n energetic when we hear positive words. I was little sleep but this vdo left me wide awake :)

[@no_ordinary_jojo]

Hi Mimi! I would like first, to say sorry for my poor English (I’m a French Canadian!). So I woke up this morning, completely hopeless and sad about my current professional and financial situation. I’m a full time student of 24 years old, and I a work occasionally in the kitchen of a medical center. For most of my life, I have always aspiring for something greater for my professional life. Because being a full time student and having so much to pay whether it for school, or food, or rent, I always and up with no money in my pocket! As the years goes by, I found myself being more and more depress about getting a better financial and professional status. I often apply for jobs that are reaching my dreams and expectations, with discouragement, lack of hope and constant fear to not be good enough. So I often end up putting the minimum effort on those jobs hunting. That pattern always leads to no results at all. By watching your video this morning, I started feeling hope again. Your advices and encouragements have strongly helped me to get back up on track. Now I’m convinced that something greater is waiting for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much Mimi, you are an extraordinary woman and please keep doing what you do. -xoxo-

[@no_ordinary_jojo]

+Mia thank you :)

[@Carmina2005]

+Jojo t Girl, your English is perfect and you are waaay too young to be that frustrated. The fact you study and work at the same time to support yourself is also an achievement already. It's not you the one who has the problem, the problem is that nowdays we generally think of success as a one-fits-all standard and we make social status a life goal. Not having money sucks but people who don't have it are not the ones to blame, at least not always. And having money doesn't guarantee happiness. Even people who have become rich and/or made all their dreams come true can be unhappy (it must be boring not having any more dreams to achieve). Anyhow, what I mean to say is you should be proud of yourself already :)

[@no_ordinary_jojo]

karmina83 Thank you very much. You are so right when you refer success of our current society as a one-fit all standard and I definitely agree with you. Sometime, we are so focus on reaching that standard and so harsh on ourselves whenever we don’t, that it makes it hard for us to appreciate and congratulate our self for the achievements that we made so far. And the lack of money sure makes it even more difficult to realise this. But once again, you are right, money is not the key word for happiness! Thanks again for taking that time to cheer me up, I really appreciate it. :)

[@marlenemarquez9545]

I am graduating college this summer and before I started applying for jobs I made sure I watched this video a thousand times and took some good notes! I hope I get hired thanks to your advice! Love you Mimi

[@TheLunaPulvia]

This really motivated me to get out of my comfort zone and go the extra mile because I'm worth it . Thank you Mimi !!

[@shelbyathena]

These are some of my favourite types of videos from you. You and Alex inspired me to improve and put in the hard work for my KZbin channel, and I am so so grateful for that. Much love xo

[@nahlablondie7096]

honestly your videos have change my way of thinkng about goals and dreams ! thank you wish you the best.

[@thej2719]

I'm a fresh grad I have no work experience before or have been to an interview and I have been so nervous to even apply for jobs recently. But now I know why I kept everything on hold, this video is so informative Mimi thank you so much for the tips and advice now I think I'll be able to apply for jobs. Hoping for the best! Thank you so much Mimi you just gave me a bucket load of confidence😌

[@nancyramirez5771]

Mimi! I would love to see all of the videos you mentioned! I just relocated to another city and decided that after the retail company I have been working for over 3 years, did not complete my transfer, I would quit. It's a little scary, but I am interviewing for jobs that I am genuinely excited for and interested in. I think part of the sparkle comes from that? This video was extremely helpful and encouraging. I appreciate what you do and how motivating you are. I have also been meaning to invest in the productivity planner! I feel that I am happiest when I am organized and have things to motivate me to do more for myself and for others. Sending you so much love and light!

[@nsz6]

I just want to say a big THANKYOU for this video Mimi!! It couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just finished my degree and I am currently looking for a job. So all the advice you gave just boosted my confidence and determination and also gave me more clarity as to what I really want to do. :D

[@stevejobsforever]

Your last note about 'the sparkle in the eye' really made me think. What do I want to do so bad that makes me so utterly excited to work for? So far I have always been following a path that was not clearly directing me to a specific goal. It seems it is about time that I should think about what I truly want to achieve no matter how long it would take me to get there. Thank you for this great video!

[@juliakhali4114]

yes please! the sparkle! do a video. i do feel the same as you 😍😍

[@beingAmber]

I am currently at the state of completing uni and saved this video to when I will start applying for jobs. Thank you Mimi, you really inspired me and now I am so pumped to write the best application letter ever! :) Wish me luck!

[@matejakovacicsubic168]

I had an internship interview yesterday and it's so funny you've publish this video this time when i've been looking for a job. And I understand now that I have to make an effort with writting application and the interview...I worked pretty hard on my application, mostly personalizing it and describing my experineces in more details. I've put some of my work about my workshops as well and employers were very interested in me. They've practically just called me to tell me, I've got it. And all it took for me is to be myself on paper as in person and just believe in myself that this is what I am capable to do. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@CiecieNewson]

For the past few weeks I've been working with a friend doing the exercises from the book "What color is my parachute", that helping me put my best forward and find what I really am best suited for career wise. I think it's the best book to help people. So many times we are miserable because we are getting a job to fulfill our expenses and now living a life we love and sorting out a career that fits in with our life we love. Great tips MImi. Smile!

[@alyonamaslovskaya7501]

I don't know if you had Russian-speaking subcribers, but I think that your videos about picking up the right clothes and how to have a sparkle in the eyes can be very useful for us:) And in the end I would like to say a few words in Russian. Спасибо тебе за такие прекрасные мотивирующие видео! Ты заряжаешь такой позитивной энергией на весь день! Надеюсь ты продолжишь снимать видео и радовать нас)

[@amat68890]

this is why i love you mimi you arent like other youtubers you actually motivate and inspire me thnx so much

[@adriennamccarthy2193]

This was very inspiring and helpful Mimi. I am currently in the middle of my Masters.I feel that recently, I am not certain in finding a job that traditionally this Masters would lead you too. I feel a pressure though to conform to certain job applications and traineeships from my classmates, oeers and my own family. That being said, I do know where I want to end up. I know my dream job, I may not know how to get there exactly yet but the journey excites me. Thank you again for the wonderful tips and the uplifting positivity.

[@jessicaanniam]

Love your videos Mimi! I've always internally struggled with doing what you love versus what makes money. Your videos are so inspiring and give people confidence to chase their dreams and to be a more confident person.

[@schneefloeckchen5274]

i would love a video on how to make your eyes sparkle. and a video about confidence. i think you'd have a lot of useful advices on that as well
