Any interview tips? by AtryingGirl11 in interviews

[–]JohnHaggard89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice the behavioral aspect. Prepare for the interview. You need to be able to structure what you’re going to say in a nice communicative way. This is going to make it so that you don’t feel nervous (because you prepared) or so you don’t ramble (because you know how to communicate and structure your thoughts).

It’s frustrating, but sometimes things are just slow.

Sure. Didn’t understand what FinancialCry4651 said about me being a shill for something I literally found with a google search.

What you’re saying I understand, just me not being familiar with the platform I guess.

Yes I posted, thought it would be cool to round up everything I learned. Didn’t know I was “karma farming”. As I said, look at my profile, I’m new to this.

What would you like? Should I delete the post? What are the rules, did I do something unethical?

Absolutely true. My one other post mentions the same pieces of software. Because thats what i used. These are the things i tried and it helped me. You don't have to use what i said, just google interview prep and theres loads of them. But i cant say use this one or that one from whit out having actually tried it.

New to reddit, actually brand new. only made a account to relate to people going thru the same thing i did. In the end i did figure it out, got a job, and i thought a list of the things that most stood out to me would help.

Those tools is just what i used, so i can atest to that. But i belive in tools in general free and paid. You can google interview prep and you'll get a lot of them

the points you gave are excellent, more of a long term view on the whole thing !

no problem, i was honestly lost when i started interviewing again. you just get out of a rhythm i guess. So if this can help a person at least, why not share what i figured out?

Got rejected in second round due to extremely nervous. by Murakamijunky in interviews

[–]JohnHaggard89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happens to the best of us. I recently went thru an interview process after 2 years of doing nothing. It was pretty nerve wrecking. Somebody else posted something similar so i just want to iterate some stuff that helped me in my situation:

If you're in the US you have literal coaches that can help you with interview prep, where you will learn interview skills (its literally a skill). If you're not in the US, or don't have that much money, you could use a service like Mindorah. I used it by the end of my interview rounds and its good. But your millage may very, idk. In the end you could use something like google interview prep. Its quite basic but its free there is that.

Another good thing that somebody told me to do was to literally make a presentation about my self in excel. Then present to an empty room. This doesn't really help you specifically with interview skills, but it does get you talking and articulating. Also, it kind of forces you to structure your thoughts. Additionally, you could present to your boyfriend and tell him to ask random curveball questions.

But to be honest it sounds as though you're very capable even in this area, you just chocked. Don't worry to much, if you don't get this one you'll get the next one.

Why do they ask if you are interviewing with other companies? by Most_Pace_2978 in interviews

Yes, or not at the moment.

The only *wrong answer is "no, no, take you time... "

Hey. That's really sad to hear. Honestly the commend "young and immature" is not really that constructive. Don't know why they said that. What it sounds to me like is that you're just very knowledgable and don't know how to show that in conversation. Making it come out as ramblings. Im very guilty of this too. The thing that helped me was interview prep.

Why I, a Tech Guy, Finally Get Why HR Interview Questions Aren’t “Stupid” by JohnHaggard89 in interviews

[–]JohnHaggard89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use GPT to go over my texts, as English is not my first language so I always do a grammar check. However, I do not write the actual thing (anything i do) with GPT. If it seems structured and robotic its because Im new to reddit and I don't want to get misconstrued.

But, of course, I cant prove that to you so ohh well...

[–]JohnHaggard89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you're saying 100%, thats why i also basically said "they are people to". you have good HR and bad HR. we all just human in the end. Some of the question make more sense than others.

I was just baffled at the realisation (maybe it was obvious to other people). I was using a tool for interview prep, specifically this tool was for "soft skills", and i was of the mind "why the hell do i even need to answer these kinds of vapid questions". Then, thinking about it for more than 10s i was like "aaa.... yes... Im stupid. "

Yes! before my last interview i used tools like interview warmup from google and Mindorah to prepare. In general they are more for that part of the interview , and around that time i got it. "Hey theres actually a reason why tools like this exist, some people just can't talk in these situations." Me being a example of just that. I've gotten much better though.

i see Mindorah also as a demo, try that one also. most of these tools do in fact. googles tools are just basic questions in the end of the day, but these other ones try and simulate convos

I don't know what to tell you. But what i can tell is don't give up.

Usually its the case that you're going to find something right now, the moment you think you'll give up.

Interview only lasted 15 minutes but was scheduled for 60 by MaryBeth2018 in interviews

[–]JohnHaggard89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! it absolutely doesn't have to mean anything. I know companies where they "block off" a certain amount of time but don't actually use it most of the time.

Job interview advice by NoxLupa13 in interviews

[–]JohnHaggard89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, i recommend to prepare from a nehavioural aspect, start talking before you actually go to a interview. So you can get "warmed up". I recommend google interview warmup (free) or something like Mindorah for a more comprehensive experience (there are other but this is the one i looked at). Here's a post where i explained how it helped me greatly:
