the company's goal: profit. my goal: keeping a roof over my head. Anything else is a lie

[@rebeccalafontaine8738]

if I always told the truth on interviews I would never get a job in a 1000 years. The problem with today's employers is that they want someone with a perfect resume but life doesn't always turn out the way we want and we make mistakes and we (hopefully) learn from them and do them differently. However, I don't think I can be transparent in an interview because they automatically judge you. For example if you admit that you've been laid off they automatically assume you're no good and a troublemaker. I am a very honest person and every time I go on an interview it's very draining for me because I can't be honest with them.

[@DonGeorgevich]

contrary to popular belief, employers don't care about a perfect resume. They want people who are aligned with their culture and get their vision.

[@acan970]

When I interview people I actually look for honest responses which fits into our work culture. I remember an interview where the candidate opened up so much that he thought he ruined the interview. He got the job (which was 9 years ago) and is still a happy contributor.

[@DovidM]

@@acan970 I have also hired people who were more candid just because the other applicants were too guarded in what they said, and were telling me what they thought I wanted to hear. Some of the candid interviewees worked out well but, from time to time, they turned out to be too abrupt with their co-workers or were considered prima donnas by their department. I’m sure that there are interviewers who pass on an applicant who has too strong of a personality. I believe that there needs to be a balance between those who do their job and nothing more and people with strong egos. Worker bees are easy to find but what I need are people who will jump in when there’s a crisis.

[@mrtekbunny]

True, employers just seem to want dishonest employees. Sort of sad really.

[@samppakoivula9977]

Perhaps they don't want perfect resume, but they do want people who can do nearly everything. Like in researcher position you have to have tons of reseaerch articles to even get to the top 10 positions and in IT business you have to know about 50 (at least figurateively speaking) programs perfectly,. No time to brief total newbies, as there is so much work to be done. Or if there is a briefing, it is some telemarketing job nobody wants anyway. Also, the demand lists grow year by year so the gap grows year by year. Besides Iive in small country so all the jobs go from under the table - nobody wants to hire total nobody, no matter how badly you want the job. I know, you shouldn't complain, but after being rejected by work life time and time again that kinda gets to you, eventually. Well above are some facts about hiring culture in my country. Now what are my strengths/"superpower"?Basically I really have jus one "superpower": I am knowledge guy - meaning whether the subject is society, human behaviour, music, food&drink, art, health care, languages etc. I usually have some knowledge of the subject and skills to have find more about the subject - from both official and unofficial sources. Which means I usually have wide perspective of things. Don't know how to use such a skill though, as there is no single field of expertise that this skill would fit: Maybe a mix of research and IT, if such a job even exists...?

[@ShadowEpoch]

i HATE that question! it's the worst part of looking for a job because there's only really one true answer to it "why do I want to work there? because you're hiring." I didn't want to work at as a taxi dispatcher but I ended up nearly taking over when they went out of business, I didn't want to work at Amazon but I stayed there for 5 years and the only reason I left was because I "died". I don't get jobs to do something I like, I get them because life isn't free!

[@givaFlyingFiggz]

Honestly, I have a great resume; I have great LinkedIn connections; I have terrific experiences; I give great examples/stories to questions. I do a lot of contract work. Getting the job... what works for me, is confidence. Getting rid of the nervousness (difficult I know!!). It seems the interviewers have a check list they love to complete, checking off one by one as you give your answers. Confidence seems to help bridge the answer to the question. I think when you feel nervous and uncomfortable it's contagious. When you feel awkward, they feel awkward. When I say confidence, I mean feeling comfortable. I believe that too is contagious. Helps them feel like you are a good fit. I love/appreciate Don's perspective from the other side of the table. Very helpful.

[@Critical_Path]

Excellent advice

[@frankmacdougall938]

This is one of the worst questions an interviewer can ask. If you are an employer that doesn't understand why people want to work by this day and age, you deserve to get bowled over by competitors. The real answer to this question is "because I developed an affinity when I was a kid for not starving to death." Do any of the interviewers work for free? No. Why? Because we all need money to live. People are just going to say what you want to hear anyways. The only time this question matters is when you are already rich enough to not need to work but want to anyways. I think maybe a lot of you need some time in the military to get taught what dedication to a job means, what teamwork really means, what doing a job over and above expectations means, what real multitasking is and what actual stress management is. I've seen supervisors in different places just melt when they have more than two things to do. Try asking "What would you do to protect this business and it's assets? What method do you use to determine how to improve the job / make it more efficient and how would you relay that info to your employer? What in your mind is being late for work? (you would be surprised at the answers to this) What is an employees role at any business?" If they ask "what do you mean improve the job?" then just end the interview there. Cheers!

[@StreamHugger]

Don, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the phrase on the blackboard on the shelf behind you in this video. "Good, better, best. Never let it rest..." Seeing that made me smile. My grandmother used to tell me that her mother (my great-grandmother, whom I never met) used to say that to her frequently when she was a girl (over 100 years ago). Good advice never gets old. Thanks for all of the great content on your channel.

Interesting. My question are as follows: 1) How can I, as a job seeker find out about a company, when many times the company is unlisted or anonymous 2) Honestly, I don't have the time to look into the companies I'm applying for. I apply to a minimum of 150 - 400 weekly 3) In the company's eyes, every employee is replaceable, no matter what they say. Why should I find something about the company that I really would enjoy? as a "cog in a machine" as it were, I understand that the sole point of the company is to make money. If you get fired, quit, or die suddenly, the company must move on no matter what. So... an answer along the lines of "I want to do XYZ for myself and I want to make your company money." should suffice, should it not?

[@aqualung1466]

You can. And you should. This video is all wrong. Depending on your skill level and industry, the answer changes. In many cases, it's almost always going to be to ask the prospective employer who is recruiting you, "Hey.... why do YOU feel I should leave MY current job and come work for YOU?". IOW, what is it that THEY are offering YOU? Money? Influence? Position? Prestige? Again, depending on your skill level and industry, the answer changes.

[@petechau9616]

[@chublez]

We can be. Takes 2 to tango. We just have to all agree that we don't give a hoot about him, him, him or any other hiring manager. I want to work for whoever values me the most. I understand value in USD not "family atmosphere" or some other corprate shill speak for we want to pay less.

[@lluewhyn]

I'm not sure I've ever heard this question in the several dozen interviews I've done in my professional career. I've also never *asked* this specific question when I've interviewed candidates as a manager. I've asked about career goals to ensure that my company and their goals are aligned. If someone tried to turn the answer around to showing how much they wanted to help me or the company, they would have to be very deft in how they did it or I'd be thinking that they're full of it. Although it's critical to assess whether their skillset and personality will help the organization in their role, my presumption is that anyone responding to a job posting is doing it because of their own needs, not the company's.

I've been asked this question in the past. Honestly, I feel like this question is a double edged sword. We could provide a "it's all about me" type of answer. That should tell an employer that a given applicant is self-serving above all else. On the other side of the coin, we could provide an answer that suggests an applicant will "live and breathe for the company's benefit." That suggests an applicant has no sense of who they are. I tend to use answers centered around a specific need on a company's part, and how my skills can resolve that need.

[@SuprousOxide]

What's "self serving above all else" about saying why you think the company will be good for you? I'd never ask a question like this, but I've had a partner in interviews who asked it, and I'd be really put off if someone tried to pretend our company was the greatest thing since sliced bread. No, be honest, you want to work at the company because the job description statement, and what you learned in the interview matched what you were looking for. Nobody really thinks you want to work at Company B specifically.

Companies tend to think that their corporate culture is unique. If you’ve worked for different companies of similar size, you will be able to see similarities between the company you are interviewing with and at least one of the other companies that you’ve worked for. Look for clues in both the mission statement and other parts of the website as to what it might be like to work there so that you don’t look like you are just itching to leave your current position, and will settle for the first job that comes along.

Oh puh-lease, how many companies, apart from the 3rd sector, think anything but profits? Anyways, if you want to balance your goals and your contribution to the company, the best way is just say what you bring to the table (aka your skills that benefit the company) and what your personal goals are. Better keep it short...unless you are a smooth talker of course, then by all means just do praise the company (of course don't overdo it) same time you praise yourself

[@96Logan]

This has been an amazing experience to mentally digest. Thank you

[@rimc8783]

The truth is always the best answer! I need money to live anything after that is secondary.

[@DonGeorgevich]

you should always be truthful

[@CareerShakers]

Beware! This is a trick interview question because they don't actually care why you want to work at their company- They care about why they should hire you

[@DovidM]

Agreed. You should be asked “Why should I hire you?” since that is what they have in mind.

[@CareerShakers]

@@DovidM Learning to understand what each interview question is really asking can be tricky!

[@zpvnrt]

New Questions people are being asked: D. E. I. - how to you handle these types of questions? How do you feel about DEI initiatives? Can you give us an example where you used DEI concepts to build and/or interact with a team on a project? (or derivatives thereof...)

[@jasonjmarchi]

Sockdolager advice! And I love your engaging manner and bright energy. I'm now a subscriber. This makes so much good sense; enthusiastically tell the employer why you want to help them (and how you'll do it) while also pleasing yourself. Both are vital. One has to love the work in order to do the best work the employer needs.

[@DonGeorgevich]

you nailed. you have to love the work in order to do the best -- and that's when the raises come.

Be like this guy, making all these GREAT videos! Be: Prompt, clean, prepared, positive, out-going, kind, patient, respectful, eager to learn and do... all the time! Smile, ask short, clear, relevant questions, be confident, competent, not arrogant... all the time! Don't interrupt, or get tripped up if and when they do... all the time! !(: Good luck, best regards and HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE... all the time! ;)!

[@Quargos]

Honestly, this is feels to me like you're saying "you should answer this question they're not asking, but want the answer to anyway." Useful advice for sure, but very much demonstrates the subtle toxicity in how interviews, and the hiring process at large function.

[@mrtekbunny]

Yep, based off these videos, the extremely flawed hiring process most companies practice basically boils down to "how well can you lie to flatter me and our company?"

[@Quargos]

@@mrtekbunny Yep. It's also just unfortunately a natural result of how being the only liar among a crowd telling the truth is the optimal strategy.

[@mrtekbunny]

@@Quargos Lmao, that certainly explains the current state of 95 percent of all elected officials. I remember a history teacher in high school mentioning that we were entering the age of manipulation where the ability to effectively lie and deceive others was going to be the defining quality of the generation. Sad that she was so spot on.

Super helpful. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

[@MN_Engineer]

You looked like Robert Picardo from the thumbnail... Lol only reason why I clicked.

[@DonGeorgevich]

That would be so cool...

[@norihan-taib]

Absolutely make sense, thanks for this. Is this question the same with ‘’why should we hire you”? Thanks Don 👌🏽

[@DonGeorgevich]

sort of, yes

[@evilarchconservative2952]

Wish I had seen your videos ten years ago.

[@DonGeorgevich]

me too

[@jacobmeredith6437]

Why do you want to work here? Well depending on the job might dictate how you would respond but the honest because I need money to survive and you need a worker to profit off of generally is not going to work. Let's be real for a minute, does anyone actually want to work somewhere or do we just NEED to? For me now now it's not an issue but before I became a truck driver, this was the one question I truly hate. Why do I want to work for "walmart"? Well I don't, not many people ever aspire to working at Walmart, its a job, it kinda pays the bills and right now it's the best one I can find wouldn't have worked. So I lied like a champ , "I would like to work for Walmart because I enjoy interacting with people, and helping them find exactly what they are looking for, I also see a lot of room for upward mobility in the future so that leads me to believe this is not just another job" it worked, but I hate lying and that was a big lie since I hate peope

I'm having interview tomorrow as facilities assistant

[@monstermind66]

Thank you just what I needed right now

[@DonGeorgevich]

so glad to hear that

[@jboreing]

I just got this questions today. It was my third interview. I disagree with the premise that speaking exclusively about yourself is not the best approach. I just did it. It was fine. I might agree that this could add some fluff to the conversation, but honestly, neither the interviewer or the interviewee should care more about the company than they do their own goals. I am not saying this advice is bad, just kind of the submissive way of seeking employment.

[@dieselscience]

I'm winding up grad school and I had an interview a few weeks ago with a large multi-national company. I told the hiring manager, _"I've talked to four people from [company], who did not know one another. Two left to come to grad school and two are now working for the company. I could not get ANY of them to say one bad thing. Everybody knows there are good days and bad days but none of them said anything negative. That really spoke to me about the mindset of the people and it left me with a strong positive impression."_ BTW, the application is for a very specific role in an applied STEM field so there was never any misunderstanding about what they do and what I would do with them. SO... neither the hiring manager nor I had a need to be vague.

[@philipludwell339]

havent watched yet but the only question i can think of that would encite such a reaction is.... "do you have any pre-planned holiday?" :D

[@lidiavaldivia1368]

Very insightful thank you

[@DonGeorgevich]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vickydascalu9490]

You know when somebody asked me why I should hire you my Question Is why I should accept this job And in the end the people who hire they need personal in company or whatever they want to do but Also it's the point that why we should give our time ,from our life to this job what make them better than the others?

[@jeremyreese54]

I have never given a crap about the companies I've worked for. I am mission oriented, but not in the company mission statement or any of that garbage. I'm the magic sauce that solves problems and makes things happen. I'm the talent, don't get in my way. If you do, I'll find somewhere else to apply my skills.

[@DonGeorgevich]

sounds like you're a bit of a lone wolf. I like that...

[@jeremyreese54]

@@DonGeorgevich Probably not the best way to answer in an interview. But a good mindset to go into it with.

[@DonGeorgevich]

agreed. at least they know what they're getting from you.

I have always just said that I liked what I found when I rearched the company and mention thier high Glassdoor score.

[@jamesbranch2078]

Sooner or later, companies and hiring managers have to realize they are the ones who are asking for help, not the other way around. When I need help moving, I don't expect some speech from my friends about how devoted they are to making sure my family succeeds as a unit. I just need someone who can move furniture from point A to point B without incident. Same goes for companies that are hiring. When you expect an answer like this, expect to be lied to. I will say anything to work at a company. This sort of expectation can be loosely translated to: "So if we trash our end of the bargain and expect you to pick up the slack by working longer than you're supposed to, getting paid less than you're supposed to, not getting paid on time like you're supposed to, and being degraded every chance we get, how devoted are you to us abusing you?"

[@skyranger1366]

Amen

[@carlitarichardson8027]

Then.... Why do companies not just ask plainly what do you think your contributions will be to make us successful (Not just to provide paychecks).
