I just had a interview with a job that I have experience in. The interview went well it was about 30 minutes. They really gave great details about the job so at the end he asked me if I had any questions. I said no that I was satisfied with everything. I was told that they had other candidates to interview as they have 4 positions to fill. I believe that because as I walked in he was on the phone setting up appointments for people to be interviewed. I think I'm over thinking the entire thing now.

[@CareerShakers]

It's always good to have questions for your interviewer, it shows that you're invested and really want to work there. 4 positions is good news, that means you have a high chance of getting one of them!

I just bumped into your channel and I appreciate how you take time out to reply questions. So I had my first remote work interview 3days ago, it went from the supposed 45mins to 1hr 38mins.. There were 3 interviewers BTW. In the beginning, one of them said they liked how I am already picturing myself in their team after I answered the usual; tell me about yourself question.. Along the line, another said, she liked my confidence.. Then when I was asked why they should hire me, after my explanation, I pulled out a work plan of what I’ll be doing on my first 90days if I become successful and one of them left a thumbs up on the screen.. The lead interviewer then said, I came really prepared.. Then he asked what my salary expectations were and when I mentioned he asked if we could negotiate and we did.. In the end he mentioned that, they have other candidates to interview, but if I’m successful, the next step would be to review my docs. They even forgot to ask me if I had any questions and when they were about to log off, I rose my hand to ask my question and they apologised, and answered my questions really well.. What do you think?

[@hal2903]

What’s the update?

[@istvantoth7431]

Useful tips pal. I recognise some of them from past interviews.

[@RyanFerrier-p1i]

I expressed excitement for the role early on in the interview, so they did not sell me on the job (I did feel like I built a good rapport with the interviewers). Also, I did skip one question, that I returned to later with an ok, but not great answer. Other than that, I felt it went well because the other signs were all favorable. I do not feel confident in getting the role because they are interviewing 16 people for 4 positions (we are all internal). If it were an external posting, the competition would be higher. It's tough out there folks, good luck.

[@CareerShakers]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Let us know if you ended up getting the job

[@JJ_TheGreat]

4:25 But how do you remember what answers you shared? I assume you don't write them down as you are answering the questions. But for me, I write down all the questions - and ask them to please repeat them until I get the entire question.

[@CareerShakers]

After each interview, I write down all the questions and which examples or "stories" I used. For the hypothetical questions, you don't need to write the answers you gave. It can be tough to remember all the questions and all the stories, but write down what you can. Also, we all have those really good stories that we use in every interview, so try not to use those more than once

[@rickysingh3262]

I don't get it if you were to reject someone why would you discuss about shift timings or what is the current CTC of that candidate. Don't invite candidates for interview if you are going to reject them anyways.

[@GTInai]

Last phone interview felt strange. It was like they laid out everything too easily. It is a 10-figure company. We went the full 30 minutes though. They only asked me two times about my experience. Right off the bat they already told me the salary. I didn't even have the chance to ask my more important questions; for example: why they're hiring, benefits, and future career goals; because they answered all that when they told me the position opened up due to a promotion. Supposedly an upcoming round 2 interview. I like to leave the smaller questions for emails, and they got back to me the same days.

I had an on-site interview the other day, I felt like I needed prompting on a couple of questions but the interview ran over almost an hour in addition to the 90 minutes that were scheduled (I had five different people asking me questions). The most senior member who was in charge of the interview kept getting calls (production line had stopped) and at the conclusion of the interview said he better take the call or he’ll get in trouble. This could be positive because why risk getting in trouble over a candidate you have no interest in hiring?

In addition, I looked at the company website, and the job is posted there. I know that it is the same job as indeed because it had a job id, which is the exact id listed in the company's website posting as well. And judging by other job postings, this is a unique ID for the posting itself. One interesting detail is that on the company website, a job with the same description was posted with a start date yesterday and a unposting date this coming sunday, just 5 days. Then, right when I started this youtube comment, I tried to refer back to the company website to bring up the job listing, and its gone (it early and not working hours yet).

Recruiters at agencies are paid for every person they hire, but if you're working with a recruiter who is an employee of the company, then they are paid salary.

Nothing wrong with confidence and knowing the type of work involved like the back of your hand as long as you're not cocky or a braggart. Confidence with experience is key. The only issue may be is that they won't pay you what you deserve

[@X-EliTe-Ghostride]

My first interview with that Little Caesars I was so nervous to talk to the lady so I don't think I have the job p I guess I will keep looking but they said they will call me on Monday

[@CareerShakers]

Let us know if you got the job! It's ok to be nervous for an interview, it just means you really care about the job

[@silverfuryranger]

I have been patiently waiting for a month now, and I understand that there may be some financial constraints. I kindly request an update on the status. I received this reply : Thanks for your interest on being part of out team, we now need to establish the new Budget for the New Fiscal Year, as soon as we finish this process will be able con continue with recruitment efforts and if selected you will receive a notification through email.

[@CareerShakers]

A month does sound unusual, but maybe they have a hiring freeze and don't want people to know about it...

[@jabirkhan4190]

They said they are busy for my hiring and and my aplication in pending and they will call and finalize hiring

[@CareerShakers]

Good luck!

Sir i have a interview and i feel i get rejected as interview scheduled for 1 hr but it last for 25 min and i feedback she told based on your experience level you are fine ... I am feeling low can you tell me what should i expect as i am thinking mostly negative

[@CareerShakers]

I don't think this interview went well if it ended 30 minutes early, but it's amazing to get an interview in this tough job market right now! Many people are struggling just to get an interview right now so keep applying and don't give up!

Don't use the word of rejected. Use that they denied or refused

They did not say anything after completion of the interview. What does that mean?

That by itself might not mean anything, did you see any other signs?

Is it a good sigh that I got the interviewer to show me around the office ?

It could be! Did you see any other positive signs? Otherwise it might just be standard for in-person interviews

I failed mine today...but it's fine we move

[@CareerShakers]

Sorry to hear! Why do you think you failed?

[@angelataylor3822]

So why in the hell do they waste your time when you can go look somewhere else

[@CareerShakers]

They aren't wasting your time on purpose- based on your resume, first interview, or referral they thought you would be a good fit for the job. But then your interviews didn't go as well as they hoped so they aren't moving forward.

[@PrimericanIdol]

​​@@CareerShakersWell, what you said is precisely why you need to apply to dozens, if not hundreds of positions at a time, so you land enough interviews to have multiple options in the event you start getting offers. It also doesn't help you when you're literally getting compared to other candidates who may be orders of magnitude more experienced than you.

[@CareerShakers]

@@PrimericanIdol The volume definitely helps! Try to customize your resumes as much as possible though so you give yourself the best chance and don't get blacklisted

[@nameless1426]

Hi there. Thank you so much. This video really helped me a lot. I avoid some red flags and revises my script or reviewer to my interview. Guess what? I just passed my final interview and the new company is offering the job order to me. Again, thank you very much! You're a big help!

[@CareerShakers]

Thank you so much for sharing your update and giving us positive feedback! You made my week! Congrats on the offer

[@Istanbul0687]

No, there's a lot I don't agree with here. Maybe because I'm in software engineering and it's different, but for example when you say it's bad to say "I don't know" for an answer, that's actually not a bad answer at all. Not the best, but it's even worse to start guessing out their ass. My past companies have actually recruited these people for being honest.

[@CareerShakers]

Thank you for your perspective. I also interview and hire swe's. But for any job interview, if your full answer to an interview question is "sorry, I don't know", it will not go well. You can say that you don't know, but then you should start to whiteboard a potential solution or explain how you would try to approach the problem and ask for feedback. Our engineering managers would prefer you try something so we can see your thought process and how you handle new problems rather than give up and ask to skip a question

[@khalidyo640]

I just had an interview, two bomm MF* kept asking technical questions like i am a f* AI human.. these recruiter need to relax and keep their questions simple and focus on the character that they are hiring. Like yoo interviewer is already sweating and frustrations rolla coaster, and this automatically will reflect on the interviewer answers

[@Kuro-kr8gb]

So what if they say “I have other applicants coming in and ill call you based on how those go”🙃

[@TheEnlightenedOnes]

Sounds like the place is a dead end career wise if a Hiring Manager is like that

[@CareerShakers]

It's probably not a good sign, it might mean that your interview didn't go that well and they were being direct/honest. It could come across as mean depending on how they said it but I'm sorry it wasn't the outcome you wanted

[@timjarvis9078]

Group interviews are a classic sign that you’ll never get the job group interviews are a way organizations use to eliminate the candidates they’re pretending to hire all while the position has already been filled internally. I’ve been to a few group interviews in 2008 and wish I had just walked off. One was at the ministry of justice in my old home country of new Zealand I arrived and was left waiting on a 100 degree room with 10 other applicants they kept us there 30 plus mins over the scheduled interview time. They kept us in an office where we had to say who we were etc some were very scripted meaning that they already work there and are pretending to be interviewed. They then kept us in for 5-8 hours without letting us leave for lunch there were “note takers” in the room however the guy sitting behind me who was supposed to be taking down notes was only pretending to write his pen wasn’t even clicked down he was writing on his paper not writing anything at all. then we got interviewed finally at the end which was just fake and then once I got the rejection call later that evening I told them that I knew that was all fake and waste of my time.

[@CareerShakers]

Sorry you had that experience! But not every panel/group interview is a sign that you aren't getting the job. I know lots of companies who all require every candidate to do a presentation and group interview. This is very common for consulting companies and strategy & operations roles

[@dhenderson1810]

I went to a group interview, but it was for a new store opening up, so there weren't any internal candidates.
