I have trouble with the 1st question tell me about yourself. Even though I have a graduate degree, I don't have much relevant work experience some temping, some working for a college part time. The relevant work I have is from a long time ago and isn't on my resume. Also because of the pandemic I was out of work for a long time, now I landed a job and have been there for a few months but its a clerk position which pays very little and has no future.

Watched many career coached vids here to prepare for my interview, this is probably this best one, with clear great examples to follow. Highly recommended for anyone seriously trying to impress their interviewer and to win the job.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Thanks Souri! So glad you enjoyed the video. I wish you the very best on your job search.

[@JonnyQball79]

Great questions. I got one yesterday that stumped me. My interviewer asked me if I was interviewing with anyone else. I said no because they were the first. Just thought it was weird.

[@jamesvisionary5957]

I like down to earth and practical the questions and their respective answers are. .Thank you

[@alanahern8690]

I think you're wonderful Heather and I could watch you all day. Your passion is inspiring!! The various videos have been so helpful in compiling a CV from scratch following redundancy after 21 years with the same Company. Thank you.

[@ronaldguadamuz5406]

Thanks a lot for all your videos. I got a team manager position. I applied all your suggestions for my job interview. Ronald from Nicaragua.

Professor Austin, I wanted to thank you for your amazing content. I started with your how to use LinkedIn, build a better resume, and how to ace phone and in person interviews and got the job! Thank you so much 😊

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Great to hear! Than you for sharing.

[@MNFLLL]

This video is more for ppl who have strong work history and are moving to a diff. position. I could use help with moving up from a clerk level position and not having much relevant work history outside of temping.

Hi Heather! Great content! You're definitely providing incredible value here! Good job on the funnels too! ;)

You are absolutely amazing. Having this tool to practice beforehand is life changing. I surprise myself with my responses when practicing. I was nervous about a role for a software company and used your tips from another video. I landed a 2nd interview with the senior manager of the company! 🙂

Yeah! So happy to hear this. I’m sending you good vibes.

[@lulim8895]

I got in!! Thanks so much for this video!!!

[@dananorthover9022]

How do you answer the question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" when you are expect to be retired by then as I am a (very) mature job seeker. Maybe "I hope to be still working here but in a part time position? ?? Thanks

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

You're very welcome!

[@tinahansen932]

"In five years, I hope to be living my fullest life - having advanced to the highest level of my career, giving back to my community, possibly mentoring up-and-coming xx's in their professional development." You do not have to say the word retired, but you can intimate while still addressing being a part of the company.

[@shyetloka17]

What if you have made the mistake of answering the expected salary question and its still up in the air... but answered and have other job interviews with possible higher offers?

[@CareerShakers]

Before answering "tell me about yourself", I recommend you first ask them to explain the role and what they're looking for. Then you can tailor your answer based on that information. Works everytime!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Great perspective! Thanks for sharing. I think it's important to learn as much as you can about the role and their ideal candidate before the interview. Thanks for watching.

[@CareerShakers]

@@ProfessorHeatherAustin I'd love to collaborate on a video one day :)

[@lisabush8549]

I highly recommend NOT doing this. It shows lack of preparation. It’s also indicative that you’re going to any and every interview and does not make an EXCELLENT first impression.

[@heidih3048]

Doesn't seem good to not answer their question and instead ask them.a question. It suggests that you don't already know about the role you are applying for.

[@CareerShakers]

@@heidih3048 Depends on how you word it, but it's always better to give a highly relevant answer. Good luck!

[@MountainDewComacho494]

I have been on the interviewer side of the interview a number of times. I have seen people outright freeze on those behavioral questions.

[@so_blow]

glad I'm not the only one. LOL!!

[@riturajsarma3953]

Hi Prof. Heather, what could be a reasonable answer to 'On a scale of 1 to 5, how do you rate your Excel (or any xyz) software proficiency?' I probably made a big blunder while answering this question.

[@GerminezEdiage]

I’ve searched for such contents for long. Thanks

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

So gald you found this video. What was your favorite part?

[@GerminezEdiage]

@@ProfessorHeatherAustin my favorite part was question 4, specific challenge that I was in. My last interview which technically was my very first as I was self employed. I did answer without knowing how to really answer except I told the daily challenges I faced and that was enough for the interviewer. Preparing for a big opportunity soon and I’m glad I can watch all your videos which I have been to better prepare. Thanks once again 🙏🏽☀️

love you tips and encouragement, However I am wondering is the FREE Interview Guide Cheat Sheet! still available, it's been over 20 min. I tried a second time it still doesn't come through to my email. I can't purchase the tool kit. Is it required to get the cheat sheet??

[@The_Source_2100]

I know this is a suuuper late response, but it is still free and available through the same link. I downloaded a copy today (9/21/22) without paying or purchasing anything through that link. Make sure you click the free cheat sheet link & not the toolkit link.

I’ve been watching a lot of videos to prepare, sadly my interview went horrible, although this is my 1st ever job interview it’s like I forgot everything I know about interviewing, I don’t think i should be working anytime soon😪

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

You’ve got this. Don’t let one lousy interview hold you back. Practice makes perfect.

So crazy to think someone would rather work at the office, instead home!! I wish their decisions would affect only their commute.

[@philipb2134]

One of the most challenging interview questions is: "what is your greatest flaw [where you work]?" / or some close variant. There is no stock response which will let you off easily. Over-engineered replies won't generally place you in a favorable light.
