hey everybody don georgevich here with
job interview tools and in this video i
want to give you five things you must
watch out for before your next job
interview because well if viewers are
sneaky they're going to frame their
questions in a certain way so that they
can learn more about you but maybe
without you understanding what they're
actually trying to learn
so hopefully once i go through these
you'll at least have some insider
knowledge on what some of their tactics
are and what they're trying to learn and
why they're trying to learn it now
before we dive right in if you like this
channel you like the kinds of videos
that i've been putting out please
subscribe that way you'll get
notifications every time i release a new
video and if you find this video helpful
if you really like it i'd appreciate it
if you give it a thumbs up that'll let
me know to make more content like this
that that you enjoy and that you find
helpful so the first thing you need to
watch out for in your next interview are
questions about your past manager they
might ask you you know how did you like
your past manager how did you get along
with your past boss what did you like
the most what did you like the least
and you know did you trust your manager
so any questions
revolving around your manager you really
need to watch out for because what
they're really looking for
are patterns
they're looking for patterns from one
manager to the next so as you describe
the last three jobs that you had they
might ask you about your manager in each
one of those you know what did you like
about them what didn't you like what
were some of the best things about him
and they're looking for patterns so if
in each example each job you describe
your past manager as you know being mean
to you or maybe not giving you enough
responsibility or you just didn't like
them if you say that about all of your
managers then they're going to see that
you have a pattern
of disliking your manager for certain
things and what they're really going to
think whether it's true or not what
they're really going to think is that
you have a problem with management and
that if they hired you into this
position
that the pattern would continue you
would find things about your new manager
that you don't like either
and that's really what they're looking
for so now you can turn this around
you can also say you know good things
that you liked about your manager now
maybe maybe you didn't even like your
manager at all
but
there's always something that they're
probably doing that's good
and
if you're consistent with your answers
if you're always saying something good
about each manager and you can even you
can even preface that and say you know
we always didn't see eye to eye on
things or maybe we didn't have the best
working relationship
but you know we always got the job done
and you know these were some of the
things i admired about him or her
always keep it positive
but
always try to be consistent from manager
to manager i mean it's okay if you have
one outlier maybe you know out of five
managers you know one of them you really
didn't get along with but the other four
that you did but like i said the things
to look out for is the pattern and
they're looking for a pattern of
consistency throughout your career so
like i said if they see that if they
hear that you say a lot of good things
about each manager then they can
probably assume that in your new
position you're going to say good things
too
or you're going to you're going to have
a good working relationship if you just
describe all bad experiences with all of
your managers or half of them then
they're probably going to assume the
problem is with you and not with your
manager so
moving on to number two they might ask
you some questions that are like you
know how's the weather
and they're really not asking you you
know how the weather is or how the drive
was into the office these are trick
questions that you need to watch out for
because when they say you know so how
was the drive in and if you're like oh
man you know there was so much traffic i
couldn't get through
there was so many people on the road it
was raining if you just complain
about the weather then what they can
probably assume is that you have a
negative reaction to things
and that if they hired you that you
would be that type of negative person in
their environment and
they don't want that i mean i don't want
that and you don't want that i mean do
you want somebody on your team who's
always you know complaining about
everything so the how's the weather
question isn't really how's the weather
it's just a test it's just a test to see
where you're gonna go are you gonna say
oh yeah you know it's an easy drive in
or yeah the weather looks great outside
a beautiful day or you know hey you know
even though it's raining today i think
it's supposed the sun's supposed to pop
up this afternoon whatever
give a positive answer
not a complaining whining answer so
moving on to the third thing that you
need to watch out
for in the interview is the question
why did you leave your last job
and again the same thing with the first
one in manager what they're looking for
are
patterns they're looking for patterns of
why you left so if they were to look
back at your last five jobs and see that
you were laid off twice you quit and you
were fired
you know that's not a good pattern and
they're probably going to assume that if
they hired you you know that pattern is
going to continue but if you describe a
pattern of you know hey maybe i got laid
off here but this position i quit take
another position because of greater
responsibility and more opportunity for
growth and then the next position i quit
to you know
again you know more growth more
opportunity more responsibility
you want to show a pattern of leaving
jobs for growth now and maybe that's not
entirely true for you maybe you were
laid off twice or maybe you were laid
off and then you then the next job you
quit maybe you were fired but what you
want to do is understand their reasoning
for asking this question of each job and
what they're really looking for in the
end it's just a pattern if your pattern
shows that you're leaving each job for
for gains for more responsibility
for more opportunity then they can
assume that if they hired you the
pattern will continue you'll keep
growing but if you're showing a downward
pattern of maybe you're taking jobs with
less responsibility each time or maybe
maybe you take a job with less
responsibility and then and then the
next couple of jobs they're just um
transitional jobs there where you know
there's no real change in anything that
you did you just switch jobs to switch
jobs those are lateral moves
so if they see that you're just making a
bunch of lateral moves then they could
probably assume that the pattern is
going to continue so it's all about
patterns and that's what they're looking
for so moving on to number four they
might ask you
have you ever
asked for a raise
it seems like a pretty innocent question
right no what they're really testing you
for is entitlement
because why should you have to ask for a
raise if you are doing such a good job
in the last company why do you have to
ask her a raise if you were to do a good
job your manager would have already
given you a raise you shouldn't have to
ask for the raise so it's a trick
question so be careful for it and i'm
not telling you i'm not telling you to
lie to say no i've never asked for a
raise you might be totally justified in
saying you know what there was one time
where you know this job that i had i was
really working hard at it and i think my
manager just forgot about the work that
i was doing so i kind of had to remind
them or you know maybe i had to ask for
a raise because i literally just wasn't
making enough money anymore i couldn't
make ends meet there's always exceptions
to the rule
but the point here is
to watch out for the question and
understand why they're asking it they
want to see if you're entitled or not
and
why should you have to ask for a raise
nobody
most people really shouldn't have to ask
for raise some people do and some people
get it
because you know their team forgets or
the manager forgets about you know all
the great things that they've done and
but they shouldn't i mean a good manager
really never shouldn't forget should
forget about that kind of stuff but just
keep it in mind on your next interview
watch out because that's really what
they're looking for so moving on to
number five the last one here
tell me something that makes you angry
if they ask you that question tell me
something that makes you angry
pause for a second
what they're looking for is to identify
people who
are angry and i don't know about you
but
i don't want to work with people who are
angry who are always you know flying off
the handle about things so if i'm in an
interview and they say you know tell me
something that makes you angry
my response would probably be you know i
really don't get angry
i might get frustrated a little bit let
me tell you something that makes me
frustrated or let me tell you something
that makes me annoyed or let me tell you
something that makes me feel
uncomfortable
but i'll never say something that makes
me angry i mean sure i mean i get angry
i'm human you're human too we all get
angry but it's a trick question you
don't want to get in there and tell them
something that actually makes you angry
um because then they're going to label
you as a as an angry person and and i
know you're not an angry person you have
emotions too i mean we all keep them in
check and i mean that's that's what we
do that's how we control ourselves so
it's just a question you want to watch
out for and you want to know why they're
asking it because if you give them
something
that uh if you tell them something that
makes you angry
they might be like ah okay this person
they they have the potential to be angry
we don't want them here i mean nobody
wants angry hot heads working for them i
mean i don't know about you but i've
worked with people like that and i can't
stand to be around them they're always
flying off the handle they're always
yelling at everybody they're always
complaining they're no good for the
organization and i know that's not you
but
be careful about the question so there
