Asking questions DURING the interview is the best. Don't wait till just the end. Turning the interview into a conversation makes you stand out
I wish I was built that way. I can't even carry on a conversation about the weather.
As a potential dumbass
@@dogwoodfan777 exactly I'm the same I never have anything to say to anyone.
I agree 💯. It shows you are interested and can carry a conversation. You can address your additional questions at the end. You should always have questions. Research the company they love when you do your homework. It shows you care and are willing to go the extra mile.
It's good to be picky at an interview. The conversation is both ways because you're evaluating them just as much as they are evaluating you. Chances are they already have your resume and know your background. They just want to see that you're alive, breathing, warm, and able to work while fitting in with their team. Pick up the vibe and run with it. Ask questions like "why did the last person leave this position?" and "how would you track my progress in this position so that I know I'm on track?" Be open and vulnerable so they can see you're a real person and not just someone trying to fit a mold. Get what you WANT. :)
At an interview many years ago, my question was: "when do I start". It got a smile out of them at least. I did get the job in the end too.
😂 I’m totally using this in about an hour, this is so my personality and I want to be able to highlight that
I did this too, at my first fulltime job at a electronics store. It made the proprietor laugh and the female manager smiled. They called me a few days after and started immediately
@@sincerelysavi6999😂 how did it go?
@@sincerelysavi6999 did you get the job, sis?! Rooting for you! I have an interview in the next 2 hours and I’m a bit nervous
@@sincerelysavi6999 how did it go
Interviewer: “Uh, sorry, what do you mean by that exactly?”
“I really don’t even know bro, I just heard it on a KRplus short”
Me : How to throw away a interview?
KRplusr : well you could mix your mediocre interview performance with something that obviously sounds too exceptional for you.
From what little I learn from management class is that a company has a feedback system that operates on a criteria, this is often called as the balance score card by management lingo.
The question is posed as such that it gleans into information as to the criteria of how you will be assessed.
Although this dude is more focused on making a lasting impression to the HR officer by making them rack their brains imagining you in their workplace.
Frfr because the real questions we need to ask they can't answer anyhow that would be for hr 😂 benefits, 401ks , stocks etc
Its a truly stupid question. They would know your the right fit cause your still working there.
And lets not kid ourselves. If you apply to a place you know more or less what kind of work your going to be doing. What it comes down to, is can you do that work properly, efficiently, what are your qualifications, and what is your availability. And even then, qualifications only matter for jobs that require a college education like being a doctor, because there are so many other people trying to get the same job as you. But if your applying to your local grocery store, the only thing they really care about is your availability. If you can work full time, six days a week, including weekends, theyll hire you on the spot.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is an excellent question. I always did the "polite" (mostly due to social anxiety) but at my most recent interview I asked questions like, "what is the best thing someone can do in the first month here to be successful in this the position" It was my best interview ever and I got the job.
Yay! SA sucks but you kicked it to the curb. :)
Damn, that's a great question! Not only does it lead to looking interested in it, but to them it'll look like they'd want to know more about the company, which is the impression I want out of them.
Definitely going to use this one for tomorrows interview.
@@iCreamDonutsme too
Going to use this one tommorow. Thanks ❤
When I get asked if I have any questions I always reply with "Where do babies come from?". It's a bold move that asserts dominance over the interviewers. They usually give a standing ovation at the end. It really works. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to get on that sigma grindset.
😂
No
😂😂😂
I say" what's your opinion on the political and economical state of the world right now"
I can't decide whether i find this funny or not. Definitely one of the more interesting trolling comments I've come across.
i always ask "what was your most rewarding experience within your role here" and i love every answer i've gotten
Thats a good one
another great answer.
Yeah. I think it's good to ask questions that will make them feel good rather than questions that will put them on the spot and make them feel uncomfortable (even though they do that to you) :-)
@@SuzannaKiraly well that’s the whole idea. Whether I have been to restaurant or IT/cybersecurity interviews, I always am the one on the spot and to have a small opportunity to turn it around on them (politely) is refreshing and I love getting to hear about some of the cool things they have done to assist customers/clients. But I have been at this same cybersecurity job for a few years now and although I was under qualified, they could see an actual human who cared about his craft/skill set and wanted to apply it in a proper setting, and that I had some social skills and asked a ton of questions.
this is a better question to ask.
I tried this and he took me to the back and broke both of my legs .
Good lord where did you got interviewed. 😂
Lol
Oh my gosh 😂
??do you mean u did it?
@@apollo180 blud got interviewed by a cartel 💀
A job interview is an opportunity for *the company **_and_** the employer* to interview each other. People seem to forget this. You're there to interview them and ensure the job is a good fit for you too. You should ALWAYS ask questions, be confident in yourself and know you don't have to take the job if you don't want to. You have options. You're a valuable addition and any business/ company would be lucky to have you.
I’m not… I just need that money
Lol 😂 @@Tidasthompson
Shame we have to be told this.
If you ask too many questions, the assumption from the employer is that you did not research about the job properly
The last time I was asked this my question was "how do you like working here" I led to a small fun conversation and then my interview ended. I got hired a few days later.
Now *that* is a good question.
Ima use this instead of what i just saw
I guess that's a good question. What if they don't like working there. I've worked at jobs and I don't like and I don't know what I'd say if somebody asked me that in an interview
I like that because it creates rapport and is far more personable, there is no wrong answer to that so the interviewer will feel more comfortable and you’ve given them an avenue to open up to you
Bro... So simple yet so impactful thanks for sharing with us.
I always ask, "How do you ensure the success of your employee's?" And watch them scramble to come up with something, 9/10 they cant come up with anything and i always got the job
Really? Do they not feel butthurt that you’re the one asking questions?
@@nomnomnommy2955 if they are then don’t work for them. The point of an interview is for you to find the right job for you. Don’t fit into their description.
@@nomnomnommy2955 usually asserting your dominance is a good thing. Just by asking them a hard question it shows them that you’re competent and don’t need to be babysat on the job
so how’s the job hunt goin?
@@nomnomnommy2955 always gotta ask questions how are you going to negotiate your pay rate without yours and their inference
Them: “oh I saw that Instagram too”
Lol! It’s possible but people should be asking questions either way.
I wouldn't even want the job after that.
😂😂
Hands up for those who come here just the day before the actual interview like me? 😂
Try day of lol
ayyye me too!!!
I always treat the interviewer as if I'm interviewing them as well, it's not about me getting a job it's about me getting a job I actually want to stay in for a company I actually want to work for
Yes, indeed. I used to do a ton of research on the company and anything in the news within the last year or two. And it usually ended up that the person did not know what I was talking about or had no comment or no interest in the question. Very sad. Especially when you don't get the job and put in the work
@F Nigs cringe? So I assume you are a bottom feeder and burst of a joy at a job being offered to you on the spot by a company with a high turn over rate. But yes, treating an "interview" as discovery for both sides is definitely cringe..
Enjoy dads credit card while it lasts.
@F Nigs how is that cringe?
Stay broke like a bum you clown!
Lol I like how your phrasing it like. It's a new concept you've come up with and no one's ever thought of interviewing the interviewer before. Even this videos of certain ridiculous. It's human nature. You can't predict people. You do the best interview ever but you can remind them of somebody they hate or somebody they like. Interviews are no different than being pulled over by a police officer and wondering how this ticket or non-ticket is going to go. Or maybe even more reminiscent of a waitress. Some people want coffee topped off every 10 seconds and other people don't need to come back to the table ever. It is hilariously incredulous when people assume they know how to handle a social interaction.
@@TheCompdept are you some angst teenager or something? How is this even something for you to complain about. All the person was doing was leaving a comment on the video of how they handle their interviews. Not claiming it's some new never before seen information, you created that in your head.
It seems you have some internal issues to work on.
If an interview didn't go how you wanted it to, you were never in control of the conversation.
On my last interview I said “when do I start?” We all had a good laugh, I got the job. Three years strong.
Nice one!!👏🏼👏🏼
i guess ill ask that too
@@playversetv3877did u?
@@playversetv3877 how did go bro?
Thank you for the tip 😅
i’ve gotten almost every job i’ve applied for in my industry (trucking) by showing up 10 minutes early, dressing in uniform, and bringing a notebook with questions already written down. ask them questions, write down what they say. it shows you’re attentive to the interview and are being selective in your job choice, making sure you have all the information.
I would do this, but because I'm 16 and applying for my first job, would the interviewer not think I'm weird or trying too hard?
@@purplehearts5938personally, as a 19 year old going after another job now, at the least showing up earlier than scheduled already shows the interviewer you're serious about the job
@@purplehearts5938when it comes to securing your first job or any job even, you want to stand out, even if it means going a bit to the extreme (like this dude writing questions FOR the interviewer) so all options are on the table
@@purplehearts5938it doesn’t hurt to ask at least one question or two to the interview, but it may come off as too hard if you ask too many questions. This is coming from my experience job hunting. However, be careful about what you ask to the interviewer. This is coming from my personal experience job hunting. If you’ve already gotten your job, congratulations! If you haven’t yet or are looking for a new job, I hope my insight helped!
@purplehearts5938 yeah I think so , minus the notebook everything is good
U can just prepare one or two questions beforehead
Foreman: "what are you some kinda fancy schmancy fruitcake? grab a shovel and get to work sally boy"
Very accurate 😂
Sally boyy
Interviewer: "ah, you're trying to manipulate me based on podcast pseudoscience. have a nice day"
Seriously, this is like PUA bs to 'mindhack' a girl into going home with you.
@@newerest1 lmao trust me no employer is gonna diss you for trying your hardest to get a job. Stuff like this works; it shows you give half a shit
Not pseudoscience. This is real. You get the interviewer to visualize that they hired you. That’s no mind tricks it’s just smart. You are bringing everything together for them mentally.
its a psychological phenomenon much like the "Don't think about blue bicycles" trick
If you think about what he said when the interviewer answers they'll be basically giving you a checklist of what they'd want you to do in about a years time... You're welcome, slow one. 👊
You are supposed to say, “when do I start” 😂 worked for me!
Yup. Simple. No fancy bs, just plain respectable interest.
Good one!
This
No I’ll use this!
This should've been the question in the video
Everytime I think I will do all this cool stuff in a interview and then I just clam up lol
That’s why you write thing down 😉
I’m the same way 🤦🏼♀️😂
The single best end of interview question is actually..."From what you've gathered from my resume and this interview...is there anything you see that makes you feel I'm not qualified for the position? Then watch them go to bat FOR YOU. Catches them off guard and puts them on the spot. MOST people aren't prepared to answer that with anything other than the good things they see in you. It's got me hired EVERY TIME. You're welcome.
dude at the end i asked for advice and stuff. he checked my resume and hes like nah man ur all good, you seem like a hard worker (ahem i barely had work experience)...and i never heard from him ever since lol
I asked a similar question in an interview. "What was it about my resume that set me apart and made you think I would be a good fit for your team?" They didn't interview all applicants. They were hand chosen by the Nurse Manager and her assistant. They both explained to me all the qualities that they were looking for that my experience gave me. The interview ended with them selling me to themselves. I got a job offer the next day. For those of you working in healthcare, you know that's rare! Good questions can make all the difference!
That’s awesome!
Ohhhh I'm totally using this one lol
Said ‘I think we covered everything’ in my last 2 interviews, got both lmao
Yep. If you haven't made yourself stand out by the time they ask you for questions, you probably won't get the job anyways. I rarely ask questions at the end. And if I do, it's for some trivial matters like report times, office structure, etc. In the 13 years I've spent at my current company I've landed every single promotion I've interviewed for and didn't ask questions on like 90% of the interviews. Hell, even before I came to my current company I never asked questions on the interview and always got the job.
Asking questions like these also don't help. They've heard them a million times before you, and will throw you a curveball to see if you even understand what you're asking or if you're just asking it because some guy on the internet told you it will make you sound sophisticated. 99% will fail that test, make a fool out of themselves, and screw themselves out of the job completely. Good looks and a little confidence go a lonnnnng way :)
Yea, you probably have shit jobs lol
@@GIJew Good looks ? so genetics ? if i’m ugly i won’t get a job? what kind of dumb shit is that ?
@@GIJew Promotions? What's that?
I literally interviewed once and the lady physically recoiled when i told her that I thought she covered everything. You never know
I always ask “when do I start?” And I
always get the job lol confidence always makes them hire you.
That’s true
The thing that majority of people don’t understand is that you getting hired is based on the interviewer liking your personality or your looks. Everybody has a type.
Not sure what jobs you're applying for but this is 99% untrue.
Hahaha nope.
Truck drivers (straight trucks,box trucks,semi trucks or whatever)...
The employer does not give a fuck.They need truck drivers badly.
some people don't understand that if you don't know what you're talking about it's ok to stay quiet.
Depends on what ur applying for. Most jobs that require actual skill look for employees with actual skills.
@@LaughingInTiny in sales roles they want personality and looks, so there’s that…

Employer: "Do you have any questions?"
Applicant: "Yes, where is your bathroom?"
Employer: thinks to himself "Dang he's good!"
That’s a pretty good question because it makes the interviewer imagine you going to the bathroom in the workplace.

I asked an interviewee if he has any questions for me one time. He thought for a second and said “tell me a little bit about yourself.” Hahaha
Ohhh, how the tables have turned haha, seriously though, it's good to know some things about your boss, but I doubt he or she would give away anything in an interview that'd make someone turn the job down.
I’d honestly just give some basic info and then say he has a good sense of humour
He will be a notable one on my list of interviewees
lol I'll be using that at my next interview
You should have said "That's not a question, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT"
@@APersonOnKRplusX 🧢
Interviewer: “Bro you are a babysitter, chill out”
"If you hire me, how will I be your boss in a year time??!!"
LOL THIS THE ONE😂
I think my interviewer typically wants to gtfo of there as much as I do.
Perfect answer
Absolutely.
Another way to put it to let them know you’re serious is “what would someone in this role in the first year struggle with the most?” It shows them you’re already looking at way to improve yourself before the situation arises
Yeah have them visualise you struggling and possibly failing that’s fantastic advice 😂
that's fire cause they're forced to give you a kind of genuine assessment on their part and it also gives u a real heads up good work man
Better than this video that just sounds like you got advice from a YT short
@@ArtyMars if thats what you got from that okay lmaoo. As someone with experience in moving up and hiring applicants myself , questions like this engage the interviewer as well as gives the applicant vital information on how to succeed. Working on elevating a possible weakness/struggle from day one, works wonders when it's literally told to you before you even start lmao.
Honestly, way better advice that this guy is giving. He just writes resumes that ain’t special
Interviewer: "Bruh, you got that from google"
“I ask the questions, I am the captain now”
Rofl
Hey that's mutiny.
“Well let’s see how your first day goes and we’ll go from there” that would be the response that I would expect after asking that question lol
I've killed interviews like that. And I usually ask them "How do you see my role in your team" and the other one I always leave them with, besides being productive, "What are your expectations from me as a valued team member" many times they stay puzzled, amd that my red flag not to take the job. They will usually call me back almost begging and I usually squeeze them for a much higher salary. If I see I can grow within the company I take it. If not I passed and give them suggestions. It has worked every time. I have done it about 12x since I left college in 2006. And every time may pay has gone up significantly. 👍🏾
Thanks
What an achievement. Well done 👏🏻
I'll make sure to do this once I'm looking for my second job I currently have an interview tomorrow for my first job, I just want some damn relevant experience on my resume
What are the answers that u are expecting from ur questions?
I always ask “in the next 5 years in “insert industry”, what are you most excited about?”
This will get them talking about what they’re passionate about and give them a hit of happy hormones which will hopefully then make them feel the interview went really well.
His is a LOT better
That's excellent 👌
This is good you know their all scared their shit company is gonna liquidate on 3
@@tonytravels2494 his doesn’t even make sense. It’s not even a well constructed sentence. You perform the tasks and responsibilities to the job spec. Nothing deep in their. You should be asking questions about the company and role.
I've asked a similar pair of questions like this once, and I learned very quickly that I was much more passionate and optimistic about the industry than the folks I'd be reporting up to. It was actually pretty helpful in discerning whether or not the role would compliment my strengths and promote growth. Turned down the offer, ended up in a higher position elsewhere, and it worked out well.
Yes! When I go into an interview, I go in with the mindset that I am the one giving the interview, I'm there to interview them to see if they are a right fit for me. Since I started that, I've never not been given a job offer.
😂
😆
I do the same thing. They may not fit what I'm looking regardless of whether that is a job I want. You will be worse off in that toxic environment.
Dude nobody will say this to your face but I guarentte that if you genuinely behave like this then nobody likes you, like at all. I promise you that behaving like that makes everybody think you are a wanker.
@@MX-kg6uw I haven't had to use the technique in about 10 years now. Found the right place
I wrote some questions down on a notepad for my first job interview and brought it out after he asked, “Do you have any questions about the job or company as a whole?”. I don’t think he was expecting me to then interview him on my job’s role and responsibilities but I know he liked it cause after I left I immediately got an email about getting the job.
Being prepared is looked upon better than just going with the flow.
It shows you want the job and that you're smart and capable!
Well for my first job interview I pretty much did the opposite and I was hired on the spot.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s restaurant
One doesn't exclude the other necessarily. I mean, if you actually are in the flow, you gonna be led to get prepared. This is how it works with me.
Good point anyway! Preparation always play a role.
Or nobody else showed up for an interview u got the job lmao
I did this for a job interview out of 3 other candidates and I got the job because I was the most “mature” and “sharp” one even tho I have a mullet and a beard in a office setting . I’ll probably never meet this dude but I appreciate the advice
I was also one of the only ones to ask questions and be curious about their work - this question really helped with having them notice that.

Me: but we didnt even have the interview yet
I once got a job by asking for a tour of the office, then proceeded to talk about how WE could improve as a company, i had the job before we were even done with the tour. So it’s definitely not wrong advice. Make them envision you already working there and the jobs yours.

When i was searching for a job, i had so much interviews lined up that by the end I started interviewing the interviewers. Lol i ended up getting the one that I interviewed.
Told my kids to ask a similar question years ago. I told them to ask, “If you hire me, how would you know I was the right person.”
much better!
When I was always looking for employment I always asked what makes a successful worker. Now that I’m in a position of hiring others I typically know the answer but do tend to try to coach others to ask a question after an interview. I’m always about teachable moments so whether I plan to hire the other person or not I try to give some feedback about how well they interviewed and what can be worked on.
That's nice of you
Good on you, Edward.
Very well appreciated. Please do not stop and may God bless you.

"dude this is a janitor job chill out"

"Whats the staff turn over like" It's important to remember you are also interviewing them
Depends on the job tho. Sometimes can be a selective position. But I get what you mean, just devils advocate.
@@laneanderson3005 tbh I work in private health care, in a good company staff turn over should be low
I apply for jobs I don't want or properly won't get , it's amazing how many you get accepted because you have confidence to be yourself
Alot of the time its who you know, pretty much most of the jobs ive gotten were from people who knew people and they would tell me to hand my CV to a specific person to get the job, if you go through the normal channels they chuck your CV in the bin or wont bother to even take note of it
I applied for some smaller jobs between jobs, telling that they would be just the space filler. Always got them 👌🏼 never EVER talk BS in Interviews, what goes around comes around
A better question would be, “ what are your expectations of me in 6 and 12 months?” This shows you’re looking for longevity but more importantly, you’re wanting to know how to meet their needs to the best of your ability.
You're question is fucking stupid.
The word “expectations” makes me think the person is looking for how hard to work and that they may not do anything past that. With what the guy said in the video is more or less the same but it makes me feel like the person being interviewed is like give me what your ideal candidate would do, implying that it is you who will be doing that. I think expectations is more or less the same but in a sentence it made me feel a different way. What do you think? Maybe it’s just me lol
@@CurtisOnKRplus no sir, you’re asking where the expect you to be at developmentally in that amount of time. What you should know and what position they expect you to be able to achieve in that amount of time. It shows them drive.
@@DieselJLUx2 Look up the "Dunning Kruger effect" for a better understanding of how you come off right now.
@@DieselJLUx2 but I’m just saying the wording could be misconstrued. As when I read the statement that’s where my mind went. I new you probably meant it in another way as of the context of this video.
Next minute boss is like: You know what? You're right, how will I know in a years time if you were the right fit? I can't possibly know, I'm not hiring anyone anymore, Thank you!
My go to response was this question, or rather “What does success in this roll look like” and then you can start to talk about success after a month then a year and then possible promotions and so on. If you let your employers know you’re looking to make a career and progress the right company becomes even more interested in you even if you have no experience and are fresh out of college.
This scenario was how I ended up not only landing a job, but getting paid more then my coworkers and having negotiating power. Within my first month I was called into a meeting with my district manager talking about how to make my aspersions into reality and how I could help the company.
You can show up and just be a grunt, or you can show that you are passionate about something and will put in the work it takes to get where you want to go.
I like to say "I've read the description and I have a general sense of what the position entails which aligns with my skill set but how would you describe it from your perspective and what are the greatest challenges this position could potentially face?" Works everytime.
That sounds really good
I’ve read the description and I have a general sense of what the position entails which aligns with my skill set but how would you describe it from your perspective and what are the greatest challenges you’ve seen or know of from hopefully my new position. I’d like to help you out with anything that arises including your current goal of filling the Assistant position. I’m your gal I’ll start right now I don’t have class till 1:30
Works for FAST FOOD. I'd laugh you out of my office!
@@j.thomas7128 that question is not meant for minimum wage jobs
@@j.thomas7128 Agreed. It's the same rehashed question that's the #1 result when you "questions to ask in an interview" on Google, just with a bunch of extra filler words to make yourself sound more sophisticated than you really are. I'd throw out the application of anyone who asks it and maybe give you a chuckle as you leave my office.
As someone who gives interviews regularly, this is bullshit. We just ask if you’ve got any questions so you can ask the questions you may have without feeling uncomfortable. It’s not complicated. It’s 99% likely we already know whether you’ll be recommended for the job or not by the time you get the end of the interview and asking a question doesn’t factor into that at all.
Facts. I'm just looking for competent people who have the technical skills I require. I'm not going to be impressed by whatever question you have at the end of the interview.
Depends on the company. The one I work for if you don’t have questions at the end then it’s marked against you
I've never asked any serious questions when asked normally just say no I don't go looking for jobs to make friends and have conversations I need money to live and they need people willing to work.
Damn thats how I know you higher for entry level jobs.
Correct, imagine an interview procedure that relies on the final comments lol. Surely the 99% that happened before should determine if someone gets the job. Behavourial and competency are the key factors.
I asked this question today to a panel of 5 interviewers and they all concluded that it was a great question.
How did your panel interview go? I haven't had one in forever and I nervous about one I have with a panel of 4 in a few hours for a position I'd really like! 😬
@@sparkle8725 Hey girl! I got the job! I just celebrated my one year anniversary there on 12/3..good luck to you, you got this!!! Just be you! 🙏🏾
I was always told to ask at least 1 question, about benefits or overtime, possibilities for advancement... It shows your interested, you were listening, and you are not afraid to speak up...3 qualities every employer loves!!!!
I tried it and then my interviewer said, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”
Lmao
actually improvised something like this in a recent job interview, when asked if i have any questions i asked a few filler questions while i came up with something to make myself win the employer over (mind you i’ve been in the military for awhile and haven’t done a job interview since my junior year of highschool and came very unprepared to this one) finally a lightbulb came on and i asked with full confidence “ when i start working, what should i focus on to do well here?” the employer looked baffled, as if nobody had ever asked such a thought out question and actually didn’t know what to say at first. needless to say i start thursday
This is why I love KRplus shorts and KRplus as a whole. The information it provides is incredibly intuitive and helpful. Props to this man for aiding others in writing their resume's. The type of content I want to see blow up.
You can tell by the comments how many people here haven't had a serious job, or have actually interviewed for a job with actual responsibilities. If there's one thing I would add, it's this... If you like how the interview went, and you decide that you want the job... At the end, shale the person's hand, look them in the eye and say... "Thank you for your time today, I think this went very well." Now they've envisioned you thriving in that role and the last thing said in the interview was... "This went very well."
sounds scary lol
Interviewer: "Nah, I can't visualise, the door is there."
Too funny😭😭😭😭
You should always show up with questions. It could be about the job specifically, the trajectory of the company or even the career path. Always remember that you aren't the only one being interviewed, you are interviewing them as well.
@@owenleal Of course you are going to tailor questions depending on who you are fucking interviewing with. You aren't going to ask the same questions you would ask at an interview for a career as you would at a part time job. And No...you ask questions that you genuinely want answers to. That could be directed towards the interviewer if you wanted. I'm an engineer and I interviewed with a start up. A question about company trajectory/projections and my career path within the company are not generic questions. For a pro/career interview asking detailed questions shows that you have a genuine interest and makes you stand out from others.
Asking questions that reveal what you already know about the company and position also helps too. This is especially useful if it's a job or company you're returning to and the interviewer doesn't know you personally.
Asking questions back to the interviewer really is vital. Definitely ask them about how they got to be in the position they're in currently. If they don't seem lost or struggling to answer, run for the hills! 😂
“Who said you’ll be here a year from now?”
I like to trick them into talking like we’re already cool as if I’d be a good one to have around then bam show up half alive with shite attitude everyday✨
Bro are you me? I mean at least I work hard I got that going for me
@@ratsun1723 what the hell did you just even ask
@@LBenn302 He’s saying he relates to what that person said.
@@inSynced the “at least I work hard I got that going for me” contradicts the first question though lol
@@LBenn302 😂
I always ask at the end this --
"Is there a 'Nap Pod' in the office? My creativity and productivity tend to skyrocket after a quick power nap." 😂
my best tip.. ask what qualifications does their current best employee have and what makes them valuable..
Sorry, that's a confidential issue.
We'll call you again (NOT).
Bro imagine the gas station manager looking at you after saying some shit like this 😂😂😂
My question I asked was what can I do today to be a good employee for you tomorrow. They absolutely loved that question
How??? That's cheesy af.
@@mikelytou college lvl interview bro
@@mikelytou you're not trying to get a date, no reason to be a master level speaker to a job interview. Anything that makes you stand out from the crowd is good unless it's something negative.
I’m in IT. I ask about their environment. I try to see how big it is, I try to find if they manage it well. I try to find problems they have so I can fix them when I join. I’ll ask something like: what is the biggest issue you have right now and how do you think I could help you.
And they answer "blow me"
Burger King interviewer after asking me that question and I say that response he says “Huh?”
If it's a dead end job, you shouldn't even need to be interviewed, or at least be extremely brief.
@@censortube8838 yeah they interview just make sure you are not a psycho. Dead end??? It's entry level job lol.
That’s actually damn good advice. I’ve always felt like I needed a tangible answer when employers ask that at the end and never have one. I do now.
Great follow up questions:
-What do the day to day operations look like?
-What can a newly hired employee do to be more prepared for his first day?
-What is considered the hardest aspect of this position?
I do everything I can to make the interviews that I've been in a two way conversation. Its kinda like you're interviewing them in a way.
Use this question but ask it in a fresh way. Interviewers are starting to expect it, based on personal experience 😉
These interview channels are giving the whole game away😩
@@egusisoup1826 why wouldn't you watch what occupies a good portion of your life
A reason I like my line of work...
blue collar, is that you dont really need any smart answers. Just gotta show what skills you have and show that you are eager to work
You are 100% correct. And the advice of this video is pretty bad. Trying to put the interviewer on the spot is not the way to finish an interview.
22 years construction.
You're either who and what you claim to be on day 1, or you're going home at lunch.
@@Gr8thxAlot what? It’s a question that sparks the imagination of the interviewer and envisions the interviewee in the position. It’s a great way to show initiative and drive and that you plan to be with the company for at least a full year. If you’re in the position to be doing interviews for a company- then you’re more than capable of thinking of an answer for this basic ass question.
@@LBenn302 See how wound up you are over this? Anyone that likes this question is going to be a pain to work with. I'm already annoyed.
I’ve hired and fired a lot of people, I’ve also applied for a lot of jobs, 110% agree with this statement. I always turn the interview around at this point and make sure I really want the job and try and see what kind of person I’m dealing with, I don’t want a job that makes me want to quit in 6 months.
One thing I asked the last time I was in an interview (where it was clear at the end that I wouldn't get the job) was what I could do to improve my chances in getting the job next time.
I’m grateful for his many months of experience in the workforce
🤣
Until everyone starts doing this and they start hearing it all the time lol
Exactly thats the problem
Lmfao
Maybe we should ask them if they want to hear our morning routine.
That one yt short
@@abasotto1697 if that's what you're worried about 😂 .... nevermind
What a great question. Forces the interviewer to envision you as the best candidate for the job and gives you a good idea of what they hope from you and thats something you can aspire to. Love the power of imagination.
Self-awareness speaks for itself!
If only I could overcome my shyness to actually apply it in situations like this you know?
Right there with ya 🥲
But we def can beat shyness. Even if it’s a bit painful to actually do so lol..
@@soomi5667Any job updates?
I hate that question so much lol, thank you for the advice
@lasthumankindIt's called having interest in the job. This is for careers, not side gigs. People should have a few questions when they're expected to stay around there for at least a year.
Have a big interview, this week, totally using that .
Good luck. Lmk if that question worked. 👍🤞
GL mate! You got this 🤘
Budyy research the company and ask smart questions about the business - I did my research and found x, how do you plan on improving x in the next quarter, be prepared to answer the question yourself and/or give your own opinion on the matter. I interviewed 100s of people at bulge bracket bank… what he is suggesting is alright but this is better
WE KNOW ALL YOUR TRICKS PHILLIP YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT!!!
~Management
Gonna get fired before you get hired 🤣
I said no everything is covered and got hired that same day. The only thing that matters is that you're sociable and passionate and make a connection to the interviewer.
The only thing that matters is how low are you willing to work for. The cheapest wins.
i always say "when do i start?"😂
“How do you know in a years time that I was the right fit?” Simple answer “well we didn’t fire you and you’ve been here a year.”
Right lol. So many people commenting and I'm like that is a simple answer.
it's a stupid question to begin with.
Always works. And always bring a key pad and take some notes during an interview. Make sure you checked out the website as well and let them know you did, subtly.
The McDonalds manager called me a psycho and kicked me out horrible advice it might’ve been all the coffee too 🥴
Agreed with that. Got all my jobs by acting like i read something on their site and barely remembering it. Shows that you're interested in the history and goals of the company.
"Oh yes, i believe you guys mentioned it on your site last time I checked. I personally believe that i could help your company in yada yada yada way..." Works wonders
So bring a keypad... lmfao the thing that connects to your desktop? Lmfao im fckn dying, I can only imagine a dude typing away on a keypad with no moniter while the interviewer watches the guy like hes insane 🤣
I asked my manager how many times they change the oil during a shift, never heard back
@@garfumple LOL autocorrect, I don’t even remember what I was actually trying to type. Note pad ? 🧐
Yass 👏✨ if I had two same candidates, same background and personality I would go for the one who prepared questions for the interview. It shows that they care about the position and the company, that this was not their random interview which they applied to at 3am in the morning out of boredom as well as to 20 others. 💪 I love candidates who are curious 🙂
I always prepare questions but what always kills me is what's not on the job description. I was once told "we need somebody who is an expert BA not an expert in Salesforce" and they hired a BA with way less experience because he was an expert in Salesforce.
Are these people just lying?
Ah yes, the common occurrence of applying for a job out of boredom, and not because you need money to avoid becoming homeless and dying.
The Reply I got was "I don't, it's up to you to prove if you're worthy of that position in the long run"
I had two interviews a few days apart. The first one was very uncomfortable and I declined to ask questions. Second interview was much more professional so I felt confident asking questions and even negotiating my wage. I have been on at my new job with the second place for two weeks now, very content with how everything turned out. Praise God!
Congrats man! Truly I thinly that enjoying your job is a very hard thing to do nowadays in society and if you are able to find a profession you really enjoy and make money from then congrats bro. I’m still in college and worried abt the future but I’m hoping for the best and that I can be in a situation like urs one day
Bro its 2 weeks in....is this your first job or something?
@@swansen7431 It takes a little hard work and a lot of commitment. I wish you all the luck in securing the position you strive for! Thank you for your kindness.
@@c10wnbaby22 I've had more than 10 jobs in the past decade but for the last 3 years I have been a general labor contractor. Being your own boss can be very rewarding but also very depressing at times. I'm now working for a co-op where I get to work on and operate heavy machinery, servicing and running the rigs that cultivate America's food supply. The pay is awesome. The folks are kind. The drive is less than a mile. The benefits are great. I just really love working hard, especially where I make an actual difference and am truly appreciated for my work ethic.
