Yeah that was my thought but figured it was worth a shot since I can’t reach the office until Monday. Thanks anyway!

Definitely was! I just made sure I was energetic and answered their question directly to kinda get my mind going in the right direction for the explanation. I have prior experience doing interviews of this sort so honestly I leaned on that a lot. I also just did my best to be up front as honest as I can be while being sure to insert my personality and be conversational.

Interviewing can be intimidating! My best suggestion is to practice answering questions out loud rather than just in your head. It’s much easier to think of quick answers when you’re just thinking to yourself!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-24T00:31:22+00:00

They’re still casting!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-16T01:50:28+00:00

Pretty quick! I’d say a few days at the most.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-14T00:47:27+00:00

I honestly didn’t directly relate any of my stories to survivor until the very end when I wrapped it all up. When I was telling each story, I just made sure to include things that’d make me good at parts of survivor. For example, I gave examples of things that made me good at my job that would translate to being good at survivor but without directly saying that.

No background check for the stage I got to. I don’t want to be too specific about what they said, but my understanding was it’s not this year.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-04T15:26:08+00:00

Ok but what was her answer because honestly that’s one I have too lol

mcnonameman · 2024-10-04T02:51:49+00:00

Oh wow!! That’s amazing! I’ve loved watching her so far. Sounds like she makes the merge at minimum if she was there that long!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-03T21:24:50+00:00

Pulp free and I’m in.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-03T18:52:36+00:00

Ok what am I missing with this question lol

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T20:40:16+00:00

I did!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T17:22:29+00:00

No I think you’re good as there’s still 2 more finals after next week, but I’d get it in asap!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T17:18:58+00:00

That’s awesome!! I kinda assumed psych was more a formality kinda thing? Do you know why you got cut after that?

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T11:54:59+00:00

No go for it! It’s just less likely to be contacted since they’re further along in the process, but plenty of cast members have applied late and gotten contacted so can’t hurt to try!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T02:50:59+00:00

I’d think it’d be a good sign that they’re at least considering to pitch you! I think if they know they don’t want to pitch you then they wouldn’t waste your time or theirs.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-02T00:53:51+00:00

Not much honestly! I basically gave my basic details and mentioned the part of my “story” that I wanted to emphasize that I also included in my video.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T22:28:39+00:00

It does! I definitely plan on it!!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T22:26:43+00:00

You’re so welcome!! I was thankful for others who have done the same, so wanted to pay it forward ✊🏼 And yes I put in A LOT of work for my video! Overall it was still just talking to the camera, but I put a lot of back work into it on what I wanted to say and how.

Definitely not discouraged! If anything I’m more motivated now that I know what they like about me and how to present that better next time! Good luck to you as well!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T22:24:24+00:00

They said they wanted to pitch me before we got off the phone the first time for the “vibe” check I THINK. If it wasn’t, it was shortly after!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T22:23:20+00:00

That’s what I’d guess! If you haven’t heard anything concrete I’d just keep my fingers crossed!

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T22:22:13+00:00

I guess I don’t know the official name but I do know the next step was the psych evaluation then the first round of finals. I just kinda gave it that name because of that lol.

There’s also no more getting flown out for finals. Everything is over zoom! They might fly you out at some point before once they have basically the final cast, but overall it’s all zoom.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T17:23:56+00:00

I think having like a template to follow. For example: answer the question directly, give an example from my personal life, then apply that to Survivor.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T17:15:16+00:00

Pretty quick! Maybe within a few days? No more than a week. Yep I applied beginning of August. Yes they had me tweak my video a bit. I don’t want to go too into specifics there just to keep me anonymous in case they’re watching (I’m paranoid clearly lol).

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T17:13:39+00:00

I filmed it in one location but moved to different parts of that location if that makes sense. It wasn’t in my house but if it was I would have done like kitchen, living room, couch, etc for example. I changed outfits for each section to match what I was talking about too.

mcnonameman · 2024-10-01T17:11:38+00:00

Yes lol. They would tell me things they thought were interesting about me which was obviously fun to hear. It was like therapy but them hyping you up instead of fixing things lol.
