I remember hearing over the intercom one day "If anyone scheduled an interview today, your interviewee is here at the front desk." đ
@ikemattern9440
I showed up at an on-site interview and the interviewer was a no-show. I was standing around in the lobby until the owner came in to ask what I wanted. I said I was there for an interview and "Mike" was supposed to meet me. He then took me in and we went looking for my interviewer. He then showed me some things they were working on in the shop and then showed me the door, saying they will let me know next week. No questions, no discussions, nothing. One of the worst experiences I've had interviewing. I call it a "field trip", not an interview. Glad they passed on me.

"Winging it" has worked better for me in interviews, and I landed my last two jobs just being myself and not "playing the game". The interviewer helped by talking to me as a person and having a simple chat, rather than talking to me like a murder suspect.
@Dave-zo7ks
Regarding winging it--it's difficult to practice and prepare for questions when you don't know what the questions will be. I've prepped answers for all of the "usual" questions we hear about in these videos, but once in an interview, I seldom actually hear those questions.
@tiffany64871
1:53 when the job posting is extremely vague and your unable to get any more information despite thorough attempts to research, they seem annoyed that you donât know and have to explain it. Itâs insane.

I recently went to an in person interview with a prominent insurance company. My interview was set for 2 pm. I arrived 15 minutes early, and they didn't bring me in until 2:45, the interview didnt officially start until 3:05pm. They had not reviewed my resume prior, and it was overall just unprofessional to call me in after several previous interviews, and it all really felt like a huge waste of time. Especially given it was almost an hour away. And leaving during rush hour traffic in a metropolitan area, it took me almost 2 hours to get home. Now days looking for a great career is a joke.

The last interview I had, THEY forgot I was even scheduled for an interview and told me as much. Lol! They then sped through the interview, shouting across me every 20 seconds. I actually had to stop them and explain that I can keep my answers to under a minute but they had to let me speak if they wanted to know what I could do. No dice! They were incredibly rude and one got outright hostile at the end despite me remaining professional. Would love if you did an video about dealing with hostile and unprofessional interviewers: I'm sure we've all met them.
@MannyLoxx2010
I'm always real comfortable and casual during an interview because of the nature of my personality, character and my current profession, being in IT and Tech. If they don't like it, then I don't need or want to work for that employer. Another great video, Bryan!!
@tinabird1045
It's horrible when you do all the preparation and research for the interview, but you don't end up getting the job.
@LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus
Uff. I was applying to 30 jobs per week and suddenly like 2 weeks later a recruiter called me. His phone was of a bad quality and I couldn't hear him clearly, I couldn't understand the name of the company he said, I asked if he could repeat it and I still didn't get it but even when I later saw the name of the company in the interview invite email I still didn't remember it and I had to Google it. The funny part was that at the screening call he asked me how much do you know about our company and I said well I will need to look at the website. He called me out of the blue while I was doing something else. I mean it is not possible to remember every and each company I applied to. Especially when the recruiter calls me without a prior announcement, I don't get a chance to Google it while talking to him. Of course I did my research for the interview with the manager.

Itâs all about connections, connections, connections
@raincie802
My best intreview at a company was last year in November and it felt more like a conversation. I had 3 groups of 2 people at a time and even though it was over 3 hours long it didn't feel overwhelming. They flew me out and payed for everything, even the gas in the rental car. There was respect on both sides. My time and effort to prepare and their preparation and actual intrest in getting to know me. They never asked how much I was interested in making becaue I already put that in my application. It needs to go both ways.
@istvantoth7431
Why do companies offer 2021-2022 salaries in summer 2024?? Could you make a video about that as well?
@jermainemyrn19
This is ideally how interviews should go: Company: "i need workers and you need money to live. Can we make this mutually beneficial , I'm willing to train also if you have no experience. " Employee: Sure, please respect me, don't micromanage me, and pay a minimum of 3x the rent with the consideration of day to day living cost. Humans complicate EVERYTHING
@oniondeluxe9942
Preparing for the interview by studying about the company? Thatâs all about putting up an act. From my perspective, as an applicant, I donât care that much what the company does, as long as itâs not in advertising. Regardless if they make feeding equipment for cows, headache pills or parts for the space shuttle, itâs what they expect from the role, and whatâs in it for me. Not to talk about these âcompany valuesâ. They are all the same, albeit dressed in different wrappings. Work your ass off, donât question management, and smile when they humiliate you.
@caetano.santana
Man, I'm giving my all to get this job position I want right now. literally been preparing for the last 6 days. Yesterday I aced the first round, and tomorrow I'm going to do another one. I'm really apprehensive but I'm doing the whole checklist as best as I can - hope I get the job!
@geektanic
As someone who is disabled and works in the accessibility space (and sometimes in disability inclusion training), your videos make a great point about how slanted job interviews are against people with disabilities or neurodivergent people. I'll be using them for an upcoming procurement training, thanks!
@someonenamedjonny4553
tbh, I'm glad you're doing these tutorials but I'm getting kind of sick of the job market. It's all about confidence and lies, not about skill and ability to learn. I'm so annoyed of having to pretend to be the perfect fit and so on when the interviewer hasn't even read my cv an hour prior to meeting me. How about I open my own company and offer contracts to these annoying companies instead? Why should I always be the one reaching out to some random no-name companies that won't pay me more then 20% more and expect me to take 10x the responsibility. Net-income doesn't scale well anyways, so why bother playing the game anymore?
@mjs1557
For the salary question I always say the minimum amount required by law. Itâs worked like a charm for me every time.
