      Unfortunately, it came to my attention that many companies have been taking discriminatory actions against people who suffer from anxiety and depression - some companies are strictly avoiding hiring people who might display these conditions because they don’t want the office to become a “therapy place”, not to mention several misconceptions about inclusion, socialization and the performance of such employees. I myself was let go from a job, after showing signs of depression. Truth is, our mental state is none of their business and we should be very aware of that not to let them get any clues or this could backfire. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles, I hope it’s nothing too serious. Get well!

    When asking about your limitation/weakness say something not related to the role. For example if the you are in an interview for an accounting role say that your weakness is in presentation skills. Avoid saying that your imitation its perfectionism.

    As always, all of those tips are very helpful! One tip that I always found useful was the STAR method when asked a behavioural question(s), such as: "Tell us a time you faced a challenge/adapted to change"
    I always use the STAR method to make an organized answer. STAR stands for: situation, task, action, and result. Through this you can give the interviewer a clearer picture of what you did to handle the problems.
    Also, one video that I'd love to see is a networking etiquette video. Often, I found myself hesitating when joining a networking event, since I'm too "careful" of my behaviour and then I miss the opportunity to join in the conversation.
    Lots of love from Canada!

  • @niketarb
    @niketarb Před 3 lety +14

    I have done 2 internships in HR and I agree 💯 with each and every point in this video, HR's actually do check these points -Eye contact, hand movements and gestures while talking, dress code, carrying extra CV copies, overall hygiene, how confident you are while talking about what work you have done in your previous companies, how much understanding you have about the business the company is into for which you are being interviewed. I have seen people being outright rejected by my seniors just because they didn't carry a extra CV or were not dressed right or were good on paper but couldn't convey that during the interview.
    Another really helpful video for people who are looking out for jobs.👍🏻

    • @niketarb
      @niketarb Před 3 lety +1

      Also I forgot adding one more point, the length of your CV shouldn't be more than 2 pages because lenghty CV's are a huge turn off to be honest.

    • @JamilaMusayeva

    I don't have a job interview, but I do have my first medical school interview in a few days and this video has really helped and made me feel more confident so thank you, I've taken many notes. The first tip reminds me of the idea "image -> confidence -> success", I don't think anyone should dismiss the impact that dressing well and looking presentable can have on your morale and composure in an interview.

    • @widdasiddiq8810

  • @srro9728
    @srro9728 Před 3 lety +4

    This is really good advice. But it depends on the culture in every country. For example, where I live, there is a culture of corruption and ''who you know'/who you are related to' in order to get the job. I personally have 3 college degrees and speak 3 languages but I was never able to get a job (and I'm 36), because even in the private sector the rules mentioned above apply (private companies have a ''recommendations'' policy, meaning that if an employee refers a friend who is less qualified, that friend has a higher change of being employed that someone who is perfectly qualified but no one from the inside recommends them). However, I managed to create my own small business (I was forced, in order to survive) and I managed to live decently but I can't afford to buy a home, for instance (then again, not many people do). I like what I do, it's an intellectual job, and I won all my clients (companies) because I'm competent (I've never even met the people, we only talk by phone/email or PM software). No company would survive if it hired only incompetent people, someone has to actually work.

    Great content as always, thank you, Jamila! 🙏
    One thing I would definitely add: the most important thing at a job interview is to stay true to yourself. By all means, present the best version of yourself, but make sure what you present is still 100% you. If you pretend to be something you aren’t, sooner or later it will show, which only gives the impression of manipulation and dishonesty. The more you try to be something you aren’t, the more nervous you are going to feel and the less credible you are going to appear. And most importantly, it is everybody’s shared interest at the interview to find out if you and the role you’re applying for are a good match for each other. The company doesn’t want to hire someone based on a dishonest interview only for them to turn out to be unsuited for the job. And you don’t want be hired for a position based on a false persona you present only to find out it’s not suited for you and go to work feeling miserable every day.
    Also, to avoid conundrums, don’t be afraid to send a polite email enquiring about dress code, and at the end of the interview feel free to ask about the team you are expecting to join, the everyday life and the culture of the company - these will be the factors impacting you personally and a job interview these days is as much about your finding out about your prospective employer as it is about their getting to know you.
