Thanks, Abby. Excellent! I discovered your videos the same day as my interview for the position of copyeditor-proofreader for an education institute called Language Academia. I’m sure glad I did. The interview didn’t go as I had predicted except, sure enough, the first question was, “Tell me about yourself”! Fortunately, I had watched your video on CAR and written a note about what to say. I glanced at it while answering to be sure I mentioned keywords--15 years of copyediting for Penguin Random House, copyediting the work of students for whom English was a second language. I mentioned that I spoke Spanish and French, but in reply to her question, “Could you teach those languages?” I was honest and said I didn’t have that level of expertise. She indicated that wasn’t so important and then went on to tell me that she was starting a project copyediting and proofreading books translated from foreign languages to English. I reacted strongly and positively and said I thought that was thrilling, and she appeared flattered. To me, her focus and passion were LANGUAGES and not so much the editing process itself, so I emphasized my love of language and thanked her for her marvelous blogs on the company website about different accents in films. She seemed stunned that I had found her blogs (I had just discovered them like an hour before!). I segued into how I love foreign movies, and she asked how I ranked them by country--I said Scandinavians make the best movies. Then we talked about Indian and Chinese movies, and I named some Indian Netflix films so she would know I wasn’t faking it. Thirty minutes passed in no time, and as soon as I saw her glance at her watch, I shut up, since that was a sign she wanted to wrap up. Again, as Abby predicted, the final query was whether I had any questions for her. I had prepared some questions, but I went off script and asked her how she had thought of this “amazing” idea, to which she seemed pleased and happily launched into quite a story. I remembered what Abby had said about how the interviewer probably enjoys the opportunity to talk about themselves,. It was more like a conversation than an interview, and to this, I’m thinking, either she likes me as a possible candidate, or she’s already dismissed me and decided to idly spend thirty minutes!.As Abby recommends, I immediately sent a thank you email and asked if there was anything I’d failed to answer during the interview. I'm a bit worried about my CAR, and wondered if her immediate switch to talking about her idea for the project was a good or bad sign. I got it in under 90 seconds, but then I was worried I’d been too sketchy. Only time will tell. She said she still had a few more interviews and let me know in about two weeks. Fingers crossed! Whatever the outcome, Abby’s coaching will remain with me for the future, and if I need any more interviews, they’ll probably successively improve.

Whatever you do do not ask the interviewer if they have any hesitation about your qualifications for the position,if they did they wouldn’t be interviewing you. I did that mistake and please don’t

I think the question is, “From what we discussed in the interview, do you have any concerns about my suitability for the job?” In other words, a question not about the qualifications but the interview itself.

Abby, I am following some of your videos and I would like more info about your mock interview. 🎉

Amazing! I offer two types of interview prep sessions: interview strategy sessions and mock interviews. Check out my website for more info here: lwbalance.com/services/pricing/ Most of my clients prefer an interview strategy session (where it's more of a conversation about how to prepare for your interview, going over specific questions, etc.) over a mock interview. A mock interview would be me acting as an interviewer, recording our interview (20-30 minutes) and the debriefing the interview with you afterwards. If you're interested in getting something scheduled with me, please email me at abby@lwbalance.com. Thanks!
