Thanks Richard, what about the one of Clerk of Works on a construction project
It's not free ??
Anyone else trying to get a tech job with absolutely no skills apart from living and breathing lmao
This may help: czcams.com/video/X6NlPT7WSdU/video.html
I swear 😅
yes! that’s exactly me
Yup. And that’s exactly why.
Tired of feeling like I got no skills. Makes you start thinking how far you’ll actually get in life
It's hard getting into Maintenance with no skills because it pays so good and plenty of people apply for tech jobs. I got lucky. I went through a temp service to just be a Maintenance Tech helper until something else came along. I just became a sponge and learned as much as I could as quickly as I could and next thing I knew the company approached me and offered me a Tech position. I've moved on to 4 different companies as a Maintenance Tech and not one I could've gotten or done the job without experience and knowledge
I listened about 3-4 times while jogging on the day of my interview. Definitely helped me land my first job. Thank you sir.
WELL DONE!

I have an interview can you please help me
Hey everyone. I’m a tech that’s been in the industry for 10 years.. I used this video to increase my interviewing skills and I received an offer way over my asking. This video is a great resource for those technicians who get shy and freeze up, or who not may be the best interviewers.
THANKS!
Don't lie. Don't say you know something you don't. Be humble and make sure you are willing to work hard and most places will hire you and train you up.
Thanks for your comment. You should always be honest in your interviews and you also need to sell yourself to the hiring manager
That's what I did, been working on cars professionally for 20 years, during the interview they were asking me questions I had no idea about, and I told them this, I felt there is no way they would hire me, I feel this job is way out of my knowledge field, the next day they called me and told me they want to hire me, I feel I am getting in way over my head, we will see.
@@TomsAutoGaragewell how has it been going? Im doing the same coming from 20 yrs automotive field
I always watch your videos to see where exactly am standing as far as my work is concerned and it helps me to learn more. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome!
As a Maintenance Supervisor I have interviewed lots of candidates and read hundreds of CV's. They all started to read the same because of online guidance on how to write a CV. It was hard to pick out genuine candidates. Also I have interviewed people who had been doing an excellent job as a contractor for me but HR would not hire them just because they froze in the interview. My opinion HR have too much say in the final hiring.
Thanks for sharing :)
Did poorly in my first interview for JLL(bad at interviews). Got a call back 6 months later for anew interview for the same position and this video is making me feel much better about my chances thank you!

@@Papicodone I know this is old but ya infantry in the army, I know how to kick in doors and call for fire lol.. any tips from your interview?
@@ab-qb4re a really big thing for me was Preventive Maintenance, so maybe find a civilian way of bringing up PMs from like your weapons or even vehicles. Instead of saying weapons I would say military equipment. Just have to find connections even if it’s something small as cleaning and finding synonyms for words.
Love all your interview videos

Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you...
Welcome

These interview questions are only just HALF of what youll be asked. Depending on where you want to work (i.e. GA, Airline,...) The interviewer will ask you SPECIFIC MECHANICAL QUESTIONS related to your line of work you're applying for.
For example, if you are going to an airline, theyll ask: what hydraulic fluid does the landing gear use, what is this tool used for, what is the name of this valve, what gives power to the aircraft. etc...
Thanks for the ADVICE. It is REALLY appreciated.
Yup lol someone is going to say engine oil instead of Skydrol 😂
That sounds like the most perfect person ever 😫 i'm lying to say all of this.. But thank you for the video
Wow, thank you!

lol.. this is what I was thinking. I had the first interview last week and had some of these type of answers memorized. The manager stopped me mid sentence and told me not to do that because everyone does that, like a perfect robot. He said just to be straight and the interview is really not that difficult.
@@eQuariuz …you could use these answers as a guide but put your own spin on it. These answers are a great foundation!
@@eQuariuz are you asked a lot of questions about ata codes and things like that? or is it mostly "tell me about yourself" questions?
@@ColemanCovers wow... this was 10 months ago?? Where did the time go... Well, my interview(s) went for months, with mainly 1 company. But that first one was with the largest company in my field and I did not get past the 2nd interview. they came in with some moderate technical-situational questions. How would you do this and that. What's he process you use for a xxx xxx ..etc
I interviewed with the second largest company repeatedly, and after 3 failures for 3 different geo locations over several months.. I got the offer the 4th try. And actually, I was interviewing at the same time for two different regions. A week after the offer, the other regional mgr. called to make an offer.. Go figure. I actually preferred that other one but I already accepted. The one that gave the offer, I knew from the opener interview that It would be me. It felt like the first interviewing manager, at the end of our interview, virtually put his hand around my shoulder and walked me through the final two interviews, like they had already decided. Laughing and telling me about the company and where I fit in and our great future together.... lol.
Anyway, the questions and approach differed from region to region, especially after the first round. First round is typically behavioral and get to know you type of questions. What's your story, interests, basic experience. Why do you want to work for us...? The next round will be some situational stuff, on the job stuff. The 3rd is usually the signoff manager who asks you about the stuff you already covered and kind of observes you. Also watching your energy level to see if you are congruent with the job. I was a little animated and high energy but kept it all real with him.
Hope that helps.
I was wondering what would you wear to the interview?
First lead position just landed. Wish me luck
GOOD LUCK

THANK YOU SIR!
Very very useful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you think so! Do you have an interview coming up? :)
@@CareerVidz No, my nephew does and I sent the video to him. I watched the video very good information 👍👍👍
Them jobs are easy to learn most techs dont do much especially if you work at a factory. Its all about morale and how much effort you put forth to learn. You could go on these jobs with little to know experience
Are you currently in the role?
I'm very confused I'm currently doing my cert III in engineering technical and after I will be doing technician engineering maintenance is that repairing and machinery and much more or is it a normal technician
To my knowledge your current and future studies are setting you up for a career that combines both technical knowledge and practical skills in engineering, with a focus on the maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment. This is a vital role in many industries, ensuring that machinery runs efficiently and safely. I hope this helps! :)
Do you have a any plumber maintenace and boiler interview?
Hi, that is a great suggestion! Although I don’t currently have this, I’ll add it to my list :) For now, I recommend you watch these two videos:

Best of luck!
Thank you ☺️
tomorrow is my online interview
I will post my result after completing my interview genuinely.
How did it go?
@@hidros1461 😂 no response= no job
I'm probably far too honest for my own good.
I'm not particularly skilled at mechanics yet, as the job I have now is my first mechanic job. So that first answer, for me, is complete BS. I'm afraid of answering it in a way like that, because not only do I feel I will be lying, but also that I'll be setting myself up for far more demanding work than I'm prepared to take on.
Do I have to lie at the interview?
No, you don't lie.
i can tell what there gonna ask, There gonna see if yoi understanding how s gearbox works, Hydraulics,, pneumatics, and electrical. know schematic symbols and know for example what happens when a solenoid is made on proportional control valves by looking at the schematic what the fluid is doing, same thing with electrical. Know how to wire in a 3 phase motor snd check rotation and swapping leads if rotation is wrong. Also safaty os something that you gotta stand on!
Do you have an interview coming up? :)
@@CareerVidz no sir i just started ama new Job about a month ago, ive been in maintenance almost 17 and im beginning to see these employers want to he certain understand the job
get up n stand up
Do you have an interview coming up? :)
i dont get that 1st one, 'tell me about yourself' not tell me about how safe and diligently you do tasks at work. is that question to do with work or general?
The very best way to answer this question in my view is to provide your relevant skills, experience, achievements, and the type of person you are, and match this with the job description. Good luck!
It’s about your experience and a little about your personal life don’t follow his answer on the first question lol the employer is going to think your cocky
I wish I had known you a long time ago
Glad to hear my videos have helped you! I have some great interview videos here for you which have been helping people pass their interviews:
1. Top 30 Interview Questions: czcams.com/video/dHTgzj7owFc/video.html
2. How to Pass a Job Interview: czcams.com/video/5oXMr8ZRJiw/video.html
3. Behavioural Interview Questions and Answers: czcams.com/video/RFqO4cZfp80/video.html
I watched the whole video
I hope it helps!
Thank you for this video! I personally try to do at 2 interviews per year to
1. See what’s out there
2. Try to keep up to date with the questions that are asked.
With that being said I have found the questions are more personality based with little emphasis on the technical questions. Why is that? One example of a repeated question is “ You have a co-worker who is difficult to get along with, how do you work with this person to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently?”
I am going for interviews in the next couple weeks as I just got my airframe license. I am worried about being asked operational and technical questions because I have virtually no on job experience. My experience is all from school and the O & P airframe test. Are you ever asked about specific ATA codes or anything like that? I feel that I would have a hard time selling myself based off the fact that I have no job experience, I am only 22 years old and did not come from the military so I don't have any bad habits.
For people watching this for an AUTOMOTIVE maintenance technician, this is not it. I was confused for a minute until I realized it was not, this was for machinery/industrial (im assuming) maintenance technician.
Yes, that's right :) Do you need assistance for your interview? :) A great place to start on my channel is here: czcams.com/video/2n13nDfSGXw/video.html

@@CareerVidz thanks man I’ll keep you on the loop🙏
Using the weakness portion as a strength spot just feels like you’re avoiding the question. If I were hiring and somebody told me their weakness was being frustrated with other people’s weaknesses - I’d probably be less likely to hire them.
How would you answer the question instead?
Can u share any apply link to apply this job plz
Which country are you applying in? :)
@@CareerVidz India
Hey can you give panel technician interview
I have this for you: czcams.com/video/U7TdqpFyg7s/video.html
Is there a video for technical maintenance questions?
Not yet! But I recommend this: czcams.com/video/RFqO4cZfp80/video.html
If only you had done this video 3 weeks ago.
Yeah, nightmare 😢
But can you troubleshoot high interstage pressure on a gas compressor ?
Do you have an interview coming up?
Standard BS answers for someone who has never worked a day in maintenance
😳
i think these are kiss up answers for the compony and not about the one being intervened
intervened?
Seams that you have never been on an "interven" :D
These answers brought back memories of when I did my level 3 engineering course, I will look for this video when and if I leave my job, nice video fella.
LoL. HR must be woke
Sounds like managerial questions where the bosses job consists of many lunches
What do you mean?
🇵🇬,,,
Do you have an interview coming up? :)
So when they say tell me about yourself, lie
Who said lie apart from you?
I'll tell you who...nobody.
Your videos telling people what to say most of what you say sounds good. But it’s not true for most
Are you serious? This is a damn joke!
😳
Thank you
You're most welcome! Is your interview soon?
