The Interview Finesse

The video I wanted to post was too long  and my music was over my voice, so this was one of the outtake videos, still some good info. Along with the video; here’s what you need to know:

1. Practice, practice, practice..Practice popular interview questions (https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-answer-the-31-most-common-interview-questions) Practice possible inquires that could come up with your resume finesse (We couldn’t find this job on your record, How long has the business been closed?, etc.) Practicing will help you so much! 

2. Research the company! (It’s super impressive when you can answer “Why do you want to work here?” with a fact about their company.) Every company has a website and “About Us” section, STUDY IT! If there is no website, that’s a red flag, especially if someone contacted you through email. 

Example: Why do you want to work here? Well, I am very passionate about breast cancer research and your company donated over 1.3 million to the National Breast Cancer Research fund as well as your employees volunteering over 10,000 hours at their different facilities Worldwide. It’s important to me that my professional and personal goals can align which is helping people struggling with illnesses and giving back to my community through donations and volunteering. 

(YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND YOU ARE SO IN THERE!!!!) I did this and they offered me the job on the spot right there in the group interview! 

3. Practice going through your new finessed resume. Practice your new job titles, responsibilities. You want a error free flawless presentation. Be ready to answer any question about the responsibilities you listed. That’s why step #1 is so important. 

4. Don’t you ever leave an interview without asking questions! Never! Here are some great questions you can ask your interviewer:

What are additional responsibilities I can expect other than the ones listed in the description?

How long have you been working here? What is the most rewarding part of your position? What do you enjoy about working for this company?

How are our positions related?

Where do you see the company in 5 years?

Is there room for advancement or growth in this opportunity?

Do you have any hesitations about my experience or qualifications?

What kind of training is in place for this position? 

What kind of benefits do you offer?

What is the anticipated start date for this position?

5. MAKE THE FIRST THING YOU SAY ABOUT EACH JOB THE MOST IMPRESSIVE!! The first bullet point under each job should also be the most impressive duty/accomplishment/task. 

6. Tell us about yourself. This is not your opportunity to tell them you’re from the South side of Chicago and you moved to Atlanta when you were 12 because your mom wanted you to have a fresh start. NO! This is your moment to give some amazing adjectives and background PROFESSIONAL experience about yourself. How long have you been in this industry? What are your strengths? What are you looking for with a new opportunity? 

7. Always have multiple copies of your resume with you. Always ask the interviewer(s) if they would like a copy. 

8. SMILE! 

CONTROL YOUR ENERGY BASED OFF THE POSITION! (Customer Service interview? Give them professional high energy! Corporate Amerikkka Interview? Give them lowkey professional demeanor with a sturdy handshake and smile.)

9. DRESS THE PART!! I do not care if you are interviewing to be a dog sitter, BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL IS THE ONLY ATTIRE ACCEPTABLE FOR AN INTERVIEW! Retail corporate, home care, medical, it doesn’t matter, dress your best! 

10. Do your research on the current salary and city/state average for the position matched with your experience and/or education. This isn’t for the interview, this is once you get an offer.

Resume Templates  (click the link) 

ATS optimized resumes!! (Available on the link above) This is the system ALMOST every employer utilizes for their candidate database. This system will be the difference between employers seeing “Cashier” vs “Customer Service Manager”. ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. All cashiers go in once place, managers go in another. It also organizes by last name, age, city and all that good stuff. 

Original Post: 

The US - general public opinion - were pretty pro-nazi because they saw them as a way to beat back Communism and socialism in Germany (the two leading parties before the Nazis took power were the Communist KDP and Democratic Socialist SDP) and keep it from spreading from Eastern/Central Europe to the West.

Almost 40% of Americans polled in 1939 wanted to restrict Jewish-owned businesses and “Jewish business methods.” 53% said they thought Jews were too different from them and didn’t want them to “mingle in the wrong places”. 10% wanted to deport all Jews immediately, while 68% said Jews should be barred from immigrating to the US.

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.

The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.

The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.

The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.

The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.

The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.

If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.

You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.

The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.

Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.

Veterans' benefits suck these days.

Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.

The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.

The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.
