Hey Abby! Ive been watching your videos for a week to prepare myself for my first interview! The truth is I did 150 practice questions as well and I liked how it taught me about myself (I havent got to do much self reflection in my life yet). Its super important for people to ask the "do you have hesitations about my fit for this position" question at the end of an interview for real! Ive done loads of volunteer work in the past, so I know that first job can be hard to get! Well good news, I got called in for an interview and it went so well, I basically got hired on the spot cause they were so impressed! Thanks for giving me hope to land one of my dream jobs, your tips are so important and I hope you realize how many people you are helping!

Great tips! Thank you!

Excellent video. As a hiring manager, I usually immediately reject the candidate when they ask one of the questions you indicated they should not have asked. Other questions that should never be asked on the 1st interview but are good questions once you get the offer are: 1. What is you vacation allowance. 2. I heard this negative news or review about your company, please explain. 3. Can I bring my dog to work? 4. How did you get into this job? Okay questions, but I really want to learn about you rather than hear myself state a story I have so many other times before. 5. Why are people leaving your company?

[@LifeWorkBalance]

GREAT advice! Thank you for sharing!! I agree, these shouldn't be asked during the first interview, but could be good questions once you've got the position/offer.

[@ilovechocolate934]

Why shouldn't people ask "why are people leaving your Company???" Why always a candidate is expected to transparent but never the interviewer??? After a while the one-sided kiss up gets old!

Hey Abby- as always thank you for your tips! For the topic of salary... when the topic does come up in the second interview, is it appropriate to ask how raises work? Is there a cost of living raise/performance review raise each year? I feel like when discussing salary, knowing that I'd have the opportunity for a raise might allow me to accept a salary slightly less than I was expecting. Same with vacation time, when negotiating salary, maybe it's slightly less than I was expecting but the company has a generous PTO policy that is calculated the salary.

[@LifeWorkBalance]

Hi! GREAT question. I would say YES this is a good question to ask when salary comes up. One of the ways to start this conversation is asking if they can share the benefits summary - this should outline their PTO policy, health insurance, etc. and once you get access to the summary of benefits then you can then ask about the other aspects of compensation, including cost of living increases, raises, commission, etc.

Can you advise your interviewee that your rusty as you haven’t interviewed in a long time. Example I’m trying to get a management position with the same company I’ve been with for the last 4 years so officially I have only 2 jobs in the last 13 years….what are your thoughts please?

[@LifeWorkBalance]

Great question! You can, but I wouldn’t necessarily do this because it may result in you over-focusing on your “rustyness” which might make you feel even more nervous! I’ve got a video on confidence and body language (watch the part about the power pose) I hope this helps!

I say leave your cell phone 📱 in the car at job inview/ it can wait 🤔

[@LifeWorkBalance]

I do agree - or at least turn it off or put it on do not disturb mode!

[@SeanManks]

In todays recession and downwards spiraling job market, it doesn’t matter how you do in an interview, they still have a million job seekers.

[@LifeWorkBalance]

They have a million job seekers, but if you can stand out in the interview as a top candidate, then you'll be at the top of the list to get the job!
