Kevin, this is super helpful. I started watching your YouTube as I wanted to gain knowledge of Excel and learned a looot. Now I'm doing a job search and happened to notice you have this great video on how to nail the interview!! Sadly I've applied for so many positions but haven't gotten an interview yet, but I'm pretty sure this will be super helpful for me to prepare for the interview. I really appreciate all the educational videos you have posted. Keep up the great work!! -

Hi Kevin, an option for Self-reflect is also -no, I wouldn-t have done anything differently-. I-ve answered this many times as it-s much more assuring than submitting to questioning judgement. Being encouraged to self doubt isn-t a growth mindset. Granted not many have the confidence to respond like that but if you-ve done something well, you-ve done something well.

Hi Kevin,
Great structure. To the point questions.
My only suggestion is to add -product manager- specific questions as applicable to tech positions in big IT developers.
examples used in thus video are specific to -how to interview for YouTuber assistant- ---
Thanks for all your hard work.

What do you think about -Thank you note- and how it should be send if you don't have the interviewers contact information (which is most of the time with the Microsoft interviews)?

As someone who had recruitment experience (although ad hoc), I can say those ssmple questions were on point. Although the landscape of hiring is a bit different here in PH, particularly in BPO, I noticed most applicants are really not prepared for Behavioral/Situational questions.

I really enjoyed this and I-m not looking for a gig. I-m about to lead a search for a new hire though. I do wish you had named names and said you were interviewing Kevin for a position at the Kevin Cookie Company where all the employees are named -Kevin.-
