Streamed all your videos the night before my interview and got the offer the following day! Thank you so much!

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Woohoo! Congrats to you and thanks for letting me know!

[@HamzaShares367]

Shake everyone's hand isn't gonna work in this post-pandemic world :) Great tips though!

[@shernicec4637]

Your videos are absolutely amazing! I was so nervous for my interview and I watched every single one, practised, and was offered tbe job today! Thank you so much 💕

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Congrats to you!!!!

[@colts21215]

Watched all your vids last night and this morning for an interview I had this afternoon. They offered me the job before I got home. I didn’t take the offer unfortunately because my heart wasn’t in it but I was very well prepared. Thank you so much.

[@Saleena3333]

Currently watching this and taking notes, I wrote out my answers and recorded myself. Huge interview tomorrow after speaking to the recruiters for the month - now or never!

[@lavenderpops5427]

You get the job?

[@Majesticmortimer]

Saleena Son did you get the job? :)

[@darrellsimon4462]

Hope it went well

[@JupitersFall]

I’m 16 and I have my first interview at a job on Monday and I’m super nervous but I’ve been binging all of your videos and it’s been helping me a lot

[@okyuyu1445]

Did you get the job

[@JupitersFall]

Yep! They hired me on the spot and I’ve been working there for about a month now things have been going ok

[@okyuyu1445]

Relevant Can congrats bro I also got hired on the spot

[@rachi5359]

Hi Cassandra! I scored a 2nd interview very shortly after sending a follow-up "thank you" email and following your tips! You're amazing!!

[@juzluvmusic]

Thanks for your great video, is very helpful. Can you share the tips for phone & Skype interview?

[@lucasley20]

There is a delicate balance between finding common topics and appearing too chatty. I know a couple of people that have had a really hard time getting hired and my suspicion is that their nerves take the best of them and their chattiness becomes a liability when they interview.

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Yes- you want to be friendly but not overly comfortable!

[@dajahspiva4272]

This was the last video I’ve watched before going into my interview & I got the job! Thank you! 🥺💕

[@ifuckedyourtiger]

"Shake everyone's hand" Me *triggered*

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Well clearly that ones out now

[@Nekole1]

I have 2 panels interviews for Federal government this week. This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@amarsengupta9525]

Its really helpful...... thank you ma'am 💗🙏

[@hopehitchcock9310]

I just graduated college in April of this year. I have volunteer experience in high school. I haven't had a job yet. I have had many interviews since graduation but I haven't gotten any offers yet. I am very discouraged . Post graduation depression is SO real

[@random-uf7pe]

Been watching interview tips videos over the Internet but your channel i may say, is the most helpful of all 💖 Also I've been searching about how to answer interview questions like salary expectations, how to handle pressure and what is your edge comparing to other candidates, but i seem not to find video that can really help me, i hope you can do video about those questions 💖💖💖

[@Andihollywood71]

I have been watching ALL of your videos and have learned a lot. I do have a question for you. Is it ok to take a paper in with reminders of your scenario answers for Tell us about a time.... not a huge written thing that you read from, but a one word example beside the scenario for initiative or difficult employee...like on a cue card. I tend to be forgetful when I'm nervous and have tons of great examples but I'm afraid I'll go blank.

[@MrOPD]

Watching these kinds of videos is incredibly frustrating. I've been applying for job trainings / apprenticeships for well over a year now, at this point probably around 300 applications. I designed my CV and and cover letter myself, changing the latter one up depending on company and specific job, I had several people look over them, including professional coaches and the likes - everyone keeps telling me how this and that is great, yet I barely get any responses from companies. On the rare occasion where I get an actual Interview I inform myself as best as I can beforehand, I dress the part, prepare for as much as I can, always on time, always polite, always eye contact (but no staring), I even trained to speak without any accent whatsoever. Usually during those interviews there's no way to connect with these people either because they tend to be just ice forking cold,not a single smirk, not a single frown, nothing, no matter what I do or say, no matter what kind of stories I tell, it's basic question after basic question after basic question - and when the interview is over I don't have any clue where I stand. I might start adding the hesitancy question, but at this point it's just getting depressing. I've watched dozens if not a hundred videos and read probably twice or three times as many articles about anything interview-related, and every single one keeps telling how 'you just need to be yourself and do these very basic things', yet I just can't seem to convince to take me under their wing for 2-3 years for jobs that any 12 year old could do well in. It's getting harder and harder to not sound completely desperate and resentful in these interviews and to remain energetic and enthusiastic. I don't know what it is, I don't know what else to do and every time I have an upcoming interview and I'm watching these kinds of videos I'm just getting angry... angry because it's so easy and so simple to get a job yet it seems like that I'm so incapable and uninteresting that just no one could possibly care to bother with me.

[@chrisbanda3869]

If you are called in for a second interview, should you again send a thank you note afterwards?

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Yep. Thank yous on thank yous!

[@Blehhh3000]

Watched a bunch of your videos and got the job today 😊 Thank you!

[@JustmeCaden]

Currently about to have a group interview in a hour and I'm just watching all these videos 😂

[@manchega15dg]

I have such a problem on answering questions with exactly what the interviewer asks at times, especially if its a multi-part question! I guess practice makes perfect.

[@killabarbie4923]

I’m bingeing your videos- I need to tape myself answering questions I don’t know why that makes me nervous 😬. I also got the resumes printed with the resume paper. I’m waiting for the recruiter to give me the date for my third interview this will be onsite.

[@mariecambacomes3710]

Been watching your videos. I have 2nd interview in a few days, any difference writing thank you from the initial interview? Love your videos and please keep going.

[@stevesk3089]

Cassandra your videos are really priceless!!! We are many of us really privileged to have access to your great advices 💯

[@aps-pictures9335]

In the UK - never send a thank you note. It’s cringeworthy here, seen as trying to peddle favour with recruiters and very fake.

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

Good to know

[@katielines5281]

I followed all your tips and went in ready for anything for my group interview and I had a call to say my application won’t be took further :(

[@RealMadrid-qe7mz]

Whatever there is no point dwelling on things that don’t work out the way you want. A thing might happen to you that you disliked but it might have been good for you. The only thing we can do now is learn and grow.

[@kcarroll671]

Your videos are awesome and the content is super helpful. I nailed my online interview and got the job.. Thank you x100!!

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

YES! Congrats!

[@olaoyepeter2556]

Thank you

[@willmoriwaki257]

Thanks for all the great information. I have an interview scheduled soon. Do I want to shake their hand or fist bump? I do not want to make a covid faux-paw. what do you think?

[@RobertDe0613]

Hey Cassandra. I passed my first interview and the interviewer informed me he will pass me to the second interview. The original email communication was from HR and I did not have the interviewers email address. I searched for the email via LinkedIn and he did not have it posted. I also scoured the company website and nothing. Any advice? I would like to make it more personal seeing it was him I interviewed with and not HR. Thank you!

[@clowntingz490]

I have a group interview tomorrow fingers crossed! 🤡

[@hannamariewilson]

I definitely prefer sending mailed thank you cards

[@viktoryanna]

Thank you so much for your videos!!!! It so helpful and amazing 👏! I got an offer next day after interview! You have the best tips for interview process and loved your video, how to prepare for video interview! God bless you!

[@fahnikan]

Thank you for the great videos! I am watching them from Europe. Please include a video on cultural differences too, because some of the tips that you mention come across as unnatural in other cultures. Thanks.

[@matthewsnowdon8530]

I’m volunteering right now so once a position comes open i then have work backing me and they then know of my work and how well i work Also helps being friends with the manager

[@calvin9187]

ah good old nepotism

[@AmericanEagle33333]

Thank you notes I'll just do that

[@bananasauce9422]

I practiced so much but they asked unexpected questions hah ig I’ll see if I get in later haha

[@willyb507]

But how do you send thank you note if you don't have their emails?

[@prospernow1319]

Is it appropriate to send a thank you note directly to the interviewers over LinkedIn? The email that set up the interview was from a different person in the HR department.

[@deebradford2431]

Hi Cass is it inappropriate to ask for the names of the panel prior to the interview?

[@1314isaias]

How do you look the crew up on linkedin?

[@alexlorence7796]

What do you think of video thank you??

[@iliasgierts910]

Hi Cassandra! I followed your advices and I got the job! Thanks a lot!!

[@KavereeJain]

Please make a video on assessment days/ centres!! :)

[@mtrotter325]

Great content, and hair

[@MelissaMaiga]

These videos are amazing!

[@MSJOJOELITE]

Love your videos, I'm doing made research on the company.

[@africaineuh221]

Captions please

[@Majesticmortimer]

Love your advice! Thanks so much!

[@locsnpetals]

Thanks for all of your tips!

[@taninbhm5618]

Question : if we’re in a bit of rush to get the result of the interview cause we already have a job offer somewhere else, How can we tell them in way that’s polite but at the same time straight to the point? Thanks

[@mtrotter325]

I'm not a career counselor and don't play one on KZbin 🤓🤓 What I am currently doing is phrasing that I am being transparent with them and let them know where I am in the interview process. If I prefer to work at one company, I tell them that they are my main target and really want to work with them however have received an offer from another company. Also I would let them know the timing of when a decision needs to be made. You may not be in a financial position to wait for their response in a week or two. If you believe they are delaying the process, the company may have issues making decisions, which is something I consider. Good luck to you!

[@bp7671]

Ugh I sent the note and still didn’t get the job. Lol

[@CassThompsonConsulting]

You can't win 'em all! Keep going!

[@bp7671]

Cass Thompson Career Advice Yes mam! I have an interview today!
