    Your videos have been so so helpful to me for my last moment preparations. I can’t thank you enough to have started this channel for people who want to prepare for their interviews. The answers were crisp and to the point. Just wanted to let you know that I got the job that I was preparing for. Couldn’t be happier. Extremely grateful to you and your videos that help so many people out there. Please continue to make such videos and we’ll be here to support always!! Much love ❤

    Hello, thank you for the video. I am recently unemployed due to a corporate restructuring. I have 10 years in the company as an Operations Manager. As I interview, I feel they are looking at my age a red flag. I am 61 but I don't believe I look or even act like that, but I know the interviewer(s) are taking notice. As I try to promote my experience and why I am the best candidate, I am not sure they get past the age thing. Any ideas on how to sell yourself beyond the age issue? I don't plan on retiring (even though I can) for quite some time as I love working. Thank you.

    But I have a question for you. Currently I am searching for new opportunity and the hr/recruiter seems to be anxious about my current salary and I have experienced that if I am not giving them numbers they just try to end the conversation. This question is asked even before scheduling an interview. How do I overcome this?

    Hi Sonal, what is your thought when the interviewer is asking a question that is too personal for the company that I worked before? For example: who is your biggest client ?
    I am currently applying for sales position in one of the biggest OTA in Southeast Asia. At first she asked how much was our market share, commissions, selling price. I thought she wanted to measure my performance in number. I was still positive about it.
    Then I was shocked why she asked who is our biggest client? Why? For what? Does she want to contact the Travel Agent and listing them your company? I found it very unethical.
