How to Introduce Yourself in a Job Interview and... (make a great impression)

In Skype you don't have to wear any pants 👖 ,its true , 😸👍👍

Thank you!

I love your videos they're awesome I learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. ❤

Doesn't matter how do you present yourself and what knowledge you have, etc. What matters is what is written in a certain database about you. A database which every and each employer consults to take a decision. Without it, they are completely in the woods. They cannot decide at all. They too dumb for that. It happen to me 3 times to get refused only after they went in the other room to look on that database about me. Do you think it recruiters know anything about IT ? It never happened to me.

The employer may wants to make you slave on plantation. I defended as hard as I could, but still there was attack after attack from operations manager. After 12 years he quit expressing publicly his frustration that I didn't want to speak with him under the counter.

Thank you very much for this video. It was very helpful, but I can’t avoid that when I look to you, you remember me Walter White from breaking bad saga 😂❤️ very helpful

What is name/type of your headset

😁

Hi Don, I like your videos. You make some very good suggestions. For skype interviews, I am always very conscience about my background setting. I prefer a real and very tidy office-like background. Messy backgrounds or weird fake backgrounds can really affect first impressions I think....

Most laptops and desktops support Bluetooth headphones. I use some inexpensive wireless earbuds. They're small and don't distract. You can hear clearly .Good stuff

Disagree on the no-selling during phone interview. If you don't sell at a phone interview, they will go with someone who did.

Can you do a video on the rare occasion that you are talking to an HR person, but you don't know what role you are applying for because they are trying to fit you to a role?

MS Teams is mostly used now. There's a web based client used most often. No need to install b4 hand.

HI my name is mikey and I work in HR, I like to pick my nose in public and play in traffic, do you want to be my friend?

your videos are very educational & info rich however
moving & swinging your arms and hands with every little word that comes out of your mouth it just doesn't look natural
you are over doing this to the point it is distracting from the value of your videos
visually tired following the direction of your arms & hand..

👍👌🙏

Thank you for your kindness well appreciated

I had this in every interview, it was initially hard to introduce myself, I feel like I goes on too long because I basically summarize my education, experience and why it led me to the job opportunity.

Stand up when new people enter the room, bring a notebook with a lot of notes about the company history and products. Take more notes while people are talking, this WORKS every time.

Love the content man. I've found myself back here a few different times over the years which has been very helpful. Subscribing this time around. Thank you...

Words control the world.
This guy understands them enough that he makes his living explaining that to us.
Liked and sub'd. Thx for the upload.

Super 💞❤️

Hi Don this is a great video with useful tips and helpful information.

Thanks for all your help! Your videos are great for anybody trying to get themselves in the right headspace for this weird human dance we call interviews

I am an Administrative Assistant at a hospice house. After losing my sister to hospice, it is emotionally challenging. Since I began working there I have become dependent on a rollator walker. I went for an interview at another hospital. When the hiring manager walked in for the second half of the interview, she looked at my walker and said, "do you really need to use that thing?" I felt so humiliated and offended. After I went home I sent an email withdrawing my application. I have been afraid of going on interviews ever since. Is "oh good grief" going to be my first impression on people? It can be an awkward thing to have around. It does not fold up flat like a regular walker. My coworkers are used to it and move it around as needed if it gets in their way, but still keep it in my reach.

Can you give some example when you say that you talk about yourself

This video was very helpful for my up and coming interview as this is a new function that I have not used before. Thank you for your guidance. Have a wonderful week. L. JONES

Hey Don! Im a 16 year old looking for jobs what tips do you have for people that are going in for their first job.

Great Information 👍
Really do appreciate your insight.

Have you considered advertising on your forehead?

awesome ty

Love the video content Don, I really enjoy them. May you be so kind as to share the link or information about where/how to obtain the iPhone headset?

Thanks I have a new federal detail Monday 3/28. I need to introduce myself to the group. Not a public speaker!!

I would really love to invite you for a webinar with my students at a local University here in Botswana. You are so good at this 🙏🏾💕

Useful information, I am glad that accidentally played this video and impressed, also learned a lot.. thanks

I would also add positive voice inflection as you speak. Show your love, support, and care to everyone.

Absolutely, thank you. Great insight. Your value to us seeking work and understanding the process is invaluable. So true to make sure you do your homework, show how you have passion for what your after, understand the values of the company, what you bring to the position, and how you will meld to create a positive growth in the position is great advice.

Went on an interview and thought it went well. I sent a thank you note to the gentlemen and included who I thought was his wife Kate. In thank you I said it was a pleasure meeting you and kate. Woke up this morning and thought OMG was her name kate. How do I address it. When I follow up Monday should I ask about if I had the name wrong?

Thank you very much for your videos...it helped me a lot to better my interview performance

Don you are worth your weight in gold my man! I've been binging your channel catching up on all the missed videos.

You still being the best Mr Don

I tried this and said: hi I’m don georgovich and they ended the interview. Haha. Jk jk.

Don, should I address the interviewer as “Mr. or Ms.” or use their first name?

Look directly into the webcam when speaking and the video when listening

Im 42 and re-entering the workforce after a 12 year break from being a stay at home mom.
I was great at in person interviews because i had a great hand shake, eye contact and a very upbeat, can-do attitude.
Now im about to have my first online interview to work from home. I feel confident but i hope that my personality comes through the online connection and hope that my face doesnt freeze in an embarrassing position.
