you are guaranteed not to get the job
what's up y'all Matt Doddato here. We're gonna talk about something today that all of
us have had to go through in our lives at least a little bit and that's job
interviews. I've been through, like I don't know, a billion job interviews
carry the one, five, three... that's not even a three. I've had a
variety of jobs throughout my life in college I probably had like 50 jobs alone it
felt like. Shout out to MacFrugals, TCBY, Foley's, love y'all. Job interviews are
something that are so important because if you are just starting out, getting that first
one is just tough. So being a person that's gone through a lot of interviews
in my life, and a person that's given a lot of interviews in my life, I have a
pretty interesting perspective. So here's some tips for you guys on how to prepare
for an interview. Tip number 1 - Be on time. It is amazing to me how many people
still struggle with being on time to their interview. Now I have to admit I'm one
of those people that I'm naturally like punctual, there's something that bothers me
mentally when I'm late. Alright I get it, I have a bias towards being on time.
But, this is an interview. As an interviewer if the person that I'm interviewing
can't even make it on time on the day that we're interviewing them to
potentially give them a job, then what are the chances that they're gonna be on
time once they have a job? hey I apologize for being late you know just
you know 10:30 is kind of early for me. I mean this is basic stuff, look you can't
predict everything they're gonna be times when you do everything right but
you're still late because of some you know unexpected thing that happens.
That's okay. I guess. It's really not. But that thing that happens better be like
alien invasion happens to hit the interstate right when you're going down,
you're like two hours early but because of the invasion there's like cars and
traffic, and then there's aliens, people flying by, you had to help a grandma
across the street because you're just a nice person... Outside of that...be on time.
Tip number 2 - Be dressed...appropriately. Now here's one that I love talking
about because people always have something to say. You should come looking
dressed nice, all right. It's going to depend on the industry, it's gonna depend
on the job that you're interviewing for, but you should show that
you cared enough about this job to dress up a little bit. People say "Well I don't
have any money, how can I dress nice?" Stop. You don't have to be dressed in Dolce &
Gabbana, you don't have to be dressed in Calvin Klein. You just have to look
presentable you can go Walmart, Target, Ross, wherever.
Get something nice, get something that fits you well, and you're already gonna
be ahead of the game to the other 50% of the population out there that can't even
do that. You know how it goes though right? What's up with this job?
And let's not talk about how you don't have money for nice clothes. You got money for that Starbucks,
and you got money for that iPhone, you got money for them Jordans. Look, you gotta
prioritize. You don't have to be dressed in designer clothes, just wear something
that fits you, wear something nice, show that you care enough that you put a
little bit of effort in to look presentable. Please. Oh and one last thing
on this tangent, please don't give me the argument of "Why do clothes matter? It
should be all about the person." If you want to philosophize about does it really matter
about the clothes on our skin or the character of our being, yes all that is
wonderful. And we can have a beer, sit on a porch, philosophize all day. You're
trying to get a job. This isn't a philosophy class. Dress nice so that you
can present yourself in the best light, so that walking in you don't look like a
dumb ... Tip number 3 - Know a little something about the place that you're
interviewing with. So this is a personal pet peeve of mine, whenever someone comes
into interview I want them to know a little bit about the place that they're
interviewing with. It doesn't take a lot of time to do a 10-second search on
Google just to find out a little bit about the company that you're
interviewing with. This is like basic. Know a little bit about the place you're
interviewing with so that you come across as someone that actually took
the time to look it up. I am very excited to be here at company X.
This is company Y.
I'm really excited to be here at company Y.
Tip number 4 - Be yourself. I know this sounds like total mom advice.
<singing> Be yourself
<still singing...> Be yourself
<still singing...> Be yourself
be yourself A job interview is a two-way interview we
never look at it like that because we're humans and we want the job. We wouldn't
be asking for the job if we didn't want the job, and so we naturally look at an
interview as "here's my chance to try to impress them enough to give me the job."
But it's also a two-way interview, you want to make sure that it's the right
fit for you. If you get in there and it's a bunch of people that do stuff that
you're not comfortable with, it's not the job for you. If you get in there and
they're asking you a bunch of things that make you uncomfortable, it's not the
job for you. If you get in there and you realize wow these dudes are working way
too hard, I have a family I'm not trying to do that, this may not be the job for
you. You may not have a choice, you may not have a job, and you struggling and
you need to just make ends meet and any job is gonna have to do. That's the
situation and you have to deal with it. We spend a lot of time at work, you want
to make sure it's something that makes sense for you as well. I'm gonna answer
every question in the way that you want me to. So be yourself.
Tip number 5 - Bring extra copies of your resume. I mean this is a basic one, shouldn't take ten seconds
but people are like "well hey I already emailed my resume," "I already sent
my LinkedIn profile," "I already gave them a copy of the guy that I talked to that
one time.." I sent it to Sarah, did you not get that? oh okay. Look, just bring copies of your
resume the person that you talked to on the day that you interview may be
different than the person that you emailed, may be different than the person
that you called. It shows that you're prepared, and it helps the interviewer
have all the information they need in the moment that they're trying to
evaluate you. Tip number 6 - Be professional. Showcase some
professionalism, don't just come in like you talking to your homies like "what's
up dawg?" "what's going on?" "Crackalatin" "I need a job" yeah It doesn't take a lot of
effort and it goes a long way. Even if the person that you're interviewing with
is someone that you know, showcase that you actually care about this position
and that you're taking this serious. I wasn't really sure on the way if I
really wanted this job after all so I kind of like stalled a little bit. But I
really made a tough decision and I really do want this job so here I am.
oh no no. A good interviewer will try to make you comfortable, they want you to be
comfortable, they want to see who you really are. Don't get too comfortable to
the point that you're just unprofessional. Know that they're always watching what
you're doing. They're trying to evaluate you, show a little bit of professionalism.
Number 7 - Try to find a way to stand out. Now what I mean by this is prepare
some examples of your previous work if it makes sense. Create like a little
pamphlet of your accomplishments or something that you've done, something
that's interesting. Find a way to make sure that you stand out in a positive
way. Depending on the job that you are interviewing for, there can be a lot of candidates,
a lot of people trying to get that job. A couple examples of things that I've seen -
a person made like a fold-out pamphlet of all their accomplishments, had their
picture on it, I was like "whoa" this is cool. I can just take this around and
show people, "look, I talked to this guy today." Do something that makes you stand
out and shows that you put a little bit of extra effort into it and it'll go a
long way to probably being able to separate you from the other people that
they're talking to that day. Don't take anything for granted. And the last tip -
Ask questions. So this kind of goes along with the fact that I said it's a two-way
interview, the fact that I said that you want to know a little bit about the
company that you're working for. Ask questions. Show them that you also want to know
what it's like. I know what you're probably thinking - "well what questions would I ask,
I'm the one that's being interviewed?" About how long do you think until I get
your job? The type of questions you can ask are
things that are pretty basic about what the job might be like so for instance...
What would success look like in this role? What type of characteristics do you
think a person who would be successful in this role might have? What do you
think are the top three things that are important for a new person coming in to do?
You get the point. Ask questions that show that you're
engaged, that show that you have an interest in this job, and that you're
gonna be a person that asked questions, and that wants to know what's going on
and isn't just here to say "I'm trying to get a job." Look guys, an interview is
literally a company trying to evaluate if you're a person that they want to pay
to represent them. That's it. At its most basic level, that's what it is. If you go
into it with that mindset and understand that it's about what you can bring to
the table for them, and if they're a good match for you.
If you treat it that way and you showcase that you actually put some
effort into it, and you care about the fact that you want this to go well,
you're gonna be ahead of the curve compared to most people out there.
These tips are just to get you started they're not a magic pill. Every situation is going
to be different, every interviewer is going to be different. Make sure you
understand that that matters. So that wraps it up for our tips on how to
prepare for an interview. I hope that helps you guys, good luck in the
interview process, hope you get that job. And if you do remember who helped you.

let's have some fun. Tip number 2 - don't be stupid just kidding. Shout out to
MacFrugs, MacFrugs! I totally lost my train of thought
okay uh I said shout out to MacFrugals. You know, it doesn't get any
better than that. This is a high-quality entertainment right here. You got money
for that... You got money for them... I just totally blanked right there. You got
money for them...them..knickknacks you got money... and research on Google yet I don't
know what this is. What questions would I ask I'm the one that's being
interviewed? What questions would I ask I'm the one that's being interviewed? I don't
know why I did that voice like that. That's probably not your voice. What would success...
What would success... what would what would <dj scratching> What's going on guys I look I looked
right at the freaking monitor, "what's going on guys??" bad, bad, bad. What do you think about the crazy religion...
Do not say that. How do you view the war on just kidding. You gonna learn today. I'm gonna
answer every question in the way that you think you should I wait what?
What's up with this job? Tip number 2 - Be dressed...appropriately. oh don't come not
dressed you are guaranteed not to get the job. I guess it depends on what job
you're interviewing for, actually. So that's why I think I could be a great
asset to your company. I think the interview went very well. I do too I
think the interview went very well. I'm very excited to hear from you guys.
I just had one question though. Sure ask away. What's up with this job?
