Job Interview Protips: Avoid these Assumptions and Mistakes

[@andylacivita]

Hey Folks, thanks for stopping by this job interview video. I hope you enjoy it and I encourage you to drop any feedback, comments, or questions you have about this video or anything ailing your job search or career. Also, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel for new videos weekly plus LIVE OFFICE HOURS every Thursday. Hope to see there!

Hello Andy, sorry...your videos are all excellent and don't really want to share with others..can't really put likes on these lol.

[@dig1272]

Quick question: I do not see the jobscan app you referred to in the video amongst the drop down info. I do not want to assume the jobscan app for androids I found is "the" one.

[@jennifergersch9126]

Myth #3: Interviewers know...: This is so true! Never assume the interviewer can connect the dots--connect the dots for them!!!! I was in a hospitality interview with four hotel managers recently when one manager noted that I had no formal experience in hospitality. I replied saying I had all the skills they were seeking, only I had previously worked for the client and not the company itself, and I then proceeded to outline the specifics of what I had done and how it related directly to the role in question. Never assume others can see the big picture; be prepared to spell it out for them.

[@jorgegrullon]

A lot of times THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR... CHARISMA MAY BE A KEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS :)

[@andylacivita]

This is unfortunately so true so you might as well. So right Jorge!

[@lyndastevens4664]

Andy - I was in a job search panic and hired a very high priced firm to support my efforts. While they delivered on the collateral front, for me, the real lift in my search has been your interpersonal coaching. Yes, a slick webfolio makes an impression, your storytelling guidance seals the deal. Thank you!

[@andylacivita]

You're so welcome Lynda! :-)

[@TacoTeaser]

Here’s a great easy out for recruiters who are lazy; NEPOTISM. The job I last left loved hiring and promoting relatives. I got tired of the nonsense and got out. Your videos have helped tremendously in my find of a new job. I share everyone I know with the KZbin videos you present. Thank you so much

[@andylacivita]

It does happen Max unfortunately. But, I do hope my videos are helping YOU!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Andy, the work you do and the resources you provide are amazingly helpful to so many people. I love watching your videos because it's evident how passionate you are in the work you do. I love the topic of avoiding assumptions and mistakes because we ALL get caught up in assumptions at some point or other! Thanks for highlighting the truth about these myths. Cheers!

[@andylacivita]

Thanks Adriana, appreciate that much!

[@IAm-IAm-]

[@flarealfajolinha]

​@@andylacivita ​ hahaha. what a honour! Hope you had a great dinner. Glad you read the comments! And i made a mistake: its HR not RH (thats portuguese!). Thank you so much for all info. I was so insecure to seek for a job before seen you. Now, nothing, neither my age will stop me from get it. haha. As I get a job Will get back to you asap to let you know how I ve used your knowledge and how it was the interview. Wish you all the success and happiness that the Universe can bring to a person. You deserve it. Thank you so so so much.

[@jennifergersch9126]

Andrew, do you have any videos on following up with an interviewer after a rejection? Skills and experience they were looking for, definition of success, etc?

[@andylacivita]

Your wish is my command: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n32Xanhvhrmgga8

[@hajnika1111]

Thsnk you for your videos, I've been getting interviews, have a great looking resume and experience, but my interviews haven't been closing the offer and it's frustrating to say the least. Now with covid, interviews are going the video route and your videos have changed my attitude even with these new hurdles. Do your coaching sessions include feedback on how someone comes across on video? Thanks for all you're doing to help.

[@andylacivita]

Hi Nika! I most certainly can provide you feedback on that especially because my coaching sessions are done via video and recorded for you to see!

[@mskimberly7777]

You having been helping me so much. I'll be in boot camp next week!

[@andylacivita]

kim Brody love it. Kim, email is at support(at)milewalk.com so we can provide you a little price break if you’d like.

[@Thinking_Elephant]

Hi Andy, I really like your videos and flow of explanation. Can you please provide hints or tips on how to tackle job interview with Senior Directors . Scenario is ‘You went through 3 interviews with department head, director and one of the team member. Now employer comes back saying we have one more round with Senior Director who owns multiple departments across that vertical.’ Thanks for your support and keep doing good work of sharing wonderful knowledge. Thanks and Regards, Akshay Ramesh Dhole

[@andylacivita]

[@Chicgeek88]

I’ve been binge watching your videos the last couple days. They’re great! Do you have Q&A every Thursday? What time? I have a slightly unique situation I’d like advice on

[@andylacivita]

Hey Tiffany! Normally, I am on KZbin every Thursday at 12 PM ET, but last week and this week I have been live with my job search boot camp program. I will be back in a week or so or maybe sooner. Hopefully you are on my email list (and subscribed here) so you get the announcement. I might be going live on an off day. Also, please don't miss this live, free event: www.milewalkacademy.com/p/andrew-lacivita-resume-writing-live-masterclass. It was a raging success when I did it back in September. Hope to see you there!

[@navpal8567]

Thank you for your great advice on all of your videos! It has helped me tremendously in my interviews.

[@andylacivita]

Nav Pal glad you liked it!

[@TheJaninem22]

Hi Andrew, really helpful videos! What's the best way to explain why I resigned without having a new job lined up?...... I resigned after 7 years of a very toxic and f ankly

[@andylacivita]

After seven good years I wanted something new. 👊

[@veganmermaidyogi3299]

Hi Andy!!!!!! It’s me again! You’re biggest fan! Lol!!! I was wondering if you have any knowledge on positions in claims for insurance or large financial institutions 🏦????? If not, no worries! You’re still the best!!!! Happy May and Friday!!!!

[@davidlempko3933]

Great stuff Andrew. Going through exec process right now - you’re right on! Specifically, talking about the future vs the past. They don’t need us for the past.

[@andylacivita]

That’s right!!

[@amsct1130]

This is great! Andy is there is video for how to interview with executive search groups and there top managing directors?

[@andylacivita]

I work for rick case automotive group. They literally have a “culture card”. I thought that was funny. Great company everyone is happy

[@andylacivita]

Love it!!

[@KeepItFresh02]

I had a second phone interview a couple days ago. I was told in the first interview I was going to get a Zoom link emailed to me shortly for a second phone interview in the next day at 5pm. I never received one and got a phone call from the company at the time I was told. I was confused and did not think I was going to the next round. The interviewer said he gueses he messed that one up and then at the end I get the do I have any questions for him. I was caught off guard not expecting a second interview and did not have any questions gathered... and now its been about 6-7 days without hearing anything back. Lol

[@andylacivita]

Sorry to hear this, but it sounds like they’re disorganized. They probably don’t deserve you!!

[@bravestarr55]

Hey Andy. Great video and awesome information, as always. I am facing a written round of an interview. During the first interview, I was only told that the next round will be a written part, but they could not share what it would look like. So I am kind of stuck and not sure how I can prepare not knowing what’s coming. I am doing some interviewing as well, and sometimes we do written rounds as well, and we keep it usually scenario based so we can identify if the interviewee is technically skilled to do the job. Do you have any pro tips, dos and don’ts, for a written interview round in general? Thanks again. All the best from Ireland!

[@kiwonder1708]

Thank you, wonderful video felling motivated. Will be using these key points for my next interview. 👍

[@flamingjob2]

awesome video!

[@AlanWagoner]

Some great tips Andy! Many thanks!

[@andylacivita]

Thanks much Alan!

[@healthy_midlife]

For the avrage Joe qualified for low-end jobs, we're not going to prepare that meticulously because we know what you do in each basic role.

[@andylacivita]

Either way. Good luck!!!🍀

[@healthy_midlife]

@@andylacivita can you expound on that?

[@PracticalInspiration]

Awesome tips Andy. Cultural alignment is vital in the job application/selection process

[@andylacivita]

Thanks and glad you liked it!

[@sannajohanna5579]

Networking…. I‘ve forgotten it!

Mohammad Ferdaush Miah you’re welcome a lot!!

[@SonicBoomC98]

The people hiring have no idea what they're doing

[@gdiver]

I like his videos.. pretty good and informative. but he spends way too much time talking and telling what he is going to talk about, he is going to get right to the point, because he doesnt want to waste time giving a bunch of information that is not going to help, so right to the point we go, because if he just tells us a bunch of useless information.. so he doesnt want to do like a lot of video makes do and ... get the point? your videos are informative and good but get to the point quicker

[@ljones2537]

Culture what is it in these established organizations... I am an African American and cultural traits are questionable the definition hmmm
