You ever have an interview and not get the job?

[Mastery]

Man I just got a call back from a job I really want. She said I'll be getting interviewed by 3 different people at the same time. I hate those types of interviews. Shit stressful bruh

I love panel interviews bruh. I look forward to them shits. To me, I just get to impress more than 1 person at a time. Kill 'em all in one fell swoop yo.

Another thing I've done in the past (including the job I have now) is stand up during my panel interviews. Sitting down for a panel interview is way to formal for me, I like to be relaxed. I was told that in the 10+ years this Corporate Employee Program has been running, I'm the only person who has ever stood up. Had them eating out of the palm of my hands bruh.

I'm too scared to try this but I just might do this at my next interview this coming Friday.

@Lady_Capoeira

You gotta be super confident to pull it off. They can read your body language. Also, make sure you ask if they are ok with you standing right before the interview starts.

It'd be mad weird if you just standing up when they expect you to sit down.

Standing sends a message of self-assuredness—but it also makes you appear taller, which around the world is seen as a sign of smarts, confidence and credibility. You should appear open and approachable, which means your hands should be at your sides (not stiff, but where your arms fall naturally) and ready to gesture naturally.

LOL please don't do this.

If I'm interviewing you in my office and you just want to stand over me, I'm going to take it as you have problems following direction and using cheap fake psychological tricks to sway my opinion. Instant rejection.

Stand OVER you? You doing interviews in broom closets? Lol

Problems following direction?

I see you missed the whole point.

Like I said, it's always worked for me. I'm assuming you've never had anybody stand up and present themselves to you during an interview based on your response, so in reality, you don't know what you'd do, aside from what you think you'd do/say.

You're one of many people who conduct job interviews, and every interviewer is different.

I've interviewed a ton of people and someone standing up wouldn't bother me at all. I think it would only bother people that are insecure and fear losing their power.

Just saying.

This ^^^^^^

He comes off as if he would take it personally, like a direct insult or something.

Which is why I asked what kind of positions he conducts interviews for cause I was thinking maybe it was the industry he is in, but in all reality, the industry shouldn't matter for the most part.

Lol I ain't trying to go in too much detail, b.

Shout out @KillaCham though, real niggas

know what it is.

I'm in the service industry.

If demanding to stand has worked for you, press on. And you're right, every interviewer is different.

But in my case, it's not about power or insecurity. Like I said, if I tell you to have a seat and you're like "Nah b, Ima just stand here" I'm going to think something is wrong with you LOL. Now I may ask if you require any special assistance to work because I wouldn't want to discriminate against a potentially mentally disabled person, but ultimately, you're not going to impress me by opting to stand in front of me at my desk.

Impress me through your resume and the answers to the questions I ask.

 

[dnyce215]

Any has done an interview through video before, where they record your responses?

Who said I demand to stand though? Lol

I clearly said I always ask the interviewer beforehand if it's ok, if they say it's not ok, I'll sit my ass down haha

I've never been denied the opportunity to stand though.

Trust me my dude, I didn't get the job I have now or any past jobs by just "standing." Lol.

Like you said, I was hired ultimately because I impressed.

Interviewer : How do you stay organized?

Me: In regards to what?

Interviewer: Everything

Me: I map out the process mentally and proceed to do it. It comes naturally, there really isnt a step by step process

Interviewer: I cant really gauge that response or gain anything about how your work with that answer

Me: I can give you specific scenarios but thats to vague of a question to know exactly what youre asking

The fuck I'm supposed to answer that bullshit? BTW its an Equipment maintenance/IT Support position

This is a good example of how you could have tackled that question.

One thing I've done in the past before every job interview was go online and look at a shit load of possible interview questions to get a good idea of how I'm going to approach them if asked.

For the ones I see and am not sure how to answer, I look up examples on how to answer them then apply my personal experience to it.

I do that too

But something so vague and he was like "walk me through it"

Not sure if he knew what he was asking moreso seeing how i would answer

I think i sufficiently answered his question given the lack of substance behind the question itself

 

[Max.]

Yeah im sure i didnt get the job

Simple, always find a way to relate it back to the position you're interviewing for. That's why they're there and that's why you're there.

A general answer I would give: "Well, from my experience in working in IT Support, I'm well aware there will be days where we're swamped with work, so when faced with the dilemma of solving multiple high priority items, I would organize my workload/queue by taking the following steps": *insert answer here that fits your work behavior*.

Most of the time these interviewers are drones that just want to hear buzz words so their green light goes off, and they can check off their little sheet.

I understand your frustration bruh. General questions piss me off as well haha. It can be tricky to answer a general question with a very specific and detailed answer.

But when he said "walk me through it," I think that's the point where you provide specific details, from A to Z, if possible.

Specific details on 'everything'?

[jmol]

I had a entry level interview working for Chevron the gas plant and i passed the test and everything high scores and the interview i did well but they asked did i have any relatable exp i said no and didn't get the job smh. The pay was 88k

Listen.

One of the hardest pills to swallow when hitting the pavement is the fact that not every employer has practical, ethical, or plainly effective hiring processes. From the application process, to the applicant selection process, to the interviews, to the actual hiring and training, alot of places just don't know what the hell they're doing.

You could have done everything right. But all it takes is for someone to not forward your phone call to a manager, or for someone to scroll through whatever name they find appealing, or someone forgetting to click a certain button on a computer program and you might be out of luck.

So try, try, and try again. The company I work for now, I had applied for years before I got hired but whenever I called to speak to management, my call got bounced around and I never got in touch with anyone. Because someone, somewhere, didn't feel like doing THEIR job. There's no telling what could've been but it's worked out for me.

Don't give up.
