successfully have a successful interview so with that being said i'm just going to start off by saying i had three jobs and i off the job so i do not know how to accidently cause my personality is what got me the job i really don't know how to you know successfully do it so i'm a learner just like you guys out there who are watching for start off by going to the visual part because when you first come into an interview oh anyone ever is doing and poking at you so i want to start off by asking what is the appropriate way to dress for an interview when you're in and you know in jeans and sweat pants we don't need a tux but just showing that you're taking this seriously if you dress seriously i'm going to take you seriously i would also say like less is more definitely like play it say if you want to have neutral colors you want the person to be focused on you and what you can bring to the table rather than what you're wearing make sure your earrings your jewelry is neutral if you want to look a little splash of color to show your personality like that would be acceptable so playing  how do you think that's really funny yourself to your presidential employer i think it's very important and just this is not a time to be humble be proud of your accomplishments and this is a time to like kind of brag about yourselves but you also want to convey like positive body language so make sure you're sitting up straight you know you seem excited enthusiastic and just you know talk about your accomplishments be proud of what you've done and i feel like when you start yourself with that mindset rather than like i don't want to say anything about me but you know just be proud of like what you've done and saying you know like i'm great you're saying i'm great because i did these things this is what happened this is what i did and this is how it ended up and that's why i am so great if you just come in like i had somebody tell me like why do why should i hire you and he's like because i'm italian and i'm also like cool i but that does not get you a job you know if you say it like this is you know because i have an amazing background have a really i really take care my family like and i feel like coming into a job is a family and you know if you say like i'm italian and then back it up you know maybe like obviously still don't go in with that but you know if you're not if you're talking about something back it up if you can back it up then then you can be confident in it so what are i know at the end of an interview process people always as well the interview is always best you have any questions what are your concerns a lot of people get some dramatic type of thing because they don't really know what to do what are some maybe good questions or good ways to go about asking questions for the end of an interview i think a solid question and that's an easy one to ask and to answer is to ask your interview like interviewer like what do you like about your company that you work for you know why why why do you work here what do you enjoy about it and so that's something that you can i while you're interviewing you can understand little bit more about the company that you just can't read about online or you just can't you know look up you get like a personal insight and that also when somebody asked me that that shows when you know that they are really interested in and working there and want to know like i like my side of the story and you know what i love about my company you know when i went in for this one particular interview was a sports camp and one of the questions the guy you know with the job comes money but you don't want to say wall i'm here for the money how do you answer a question like this i think that's a good time when you're talking about yourself and why they should hire you but also relate it back to the company show that you've done your research like you know what the company about so you can relate something like i did x y and z which i also know that you guys are a part of x y z or like with terms of like volunteer work like if you love the volunteer and you know the company is really big on charitable organizations like you know this is what i can bring to the because you know i need a job any job for a summer like you know that's also everybody kind of what's a job for the summer but showing that you know you put the work into it you've spent like an extra half hour just looking to the company really shows like how interested you are and that makes you know then you are really kind of value your time a lot more i'm not you know calling you guys or leidy's or anything but you were a teenager once and you were to you know day two when you were teenagers sixteen seventeen can you tell a story briefly on your experience how were you little so i'm like that first interview i went in i didn't prepare like i knew i had and i went in and just like what you said you kind of when did you get on your personality but so going out of it i realized like you know i didn't know a lot of the answers for those questions or not you know maybe i should have like even googled like you know interview questions or techniques and so going from their job interviews now like in a more serious job market where i'm where i was in an interview with major companies and you know i'm still looking at that that you know i need to go in there prepared if you go in there unprepared you can interview or can see it right away i also think so and so she was saying it's also important to know that it's ok to be  nervous and when i first started like sixteen seventeen like like i was really shy when i was younger and i felt like being nervous in a job interview like if i started off really nervous or more going to get this job already they can tell i'm nervous like just knowing that it's ok and if you can like come back from that it kind of shows that you can think on your feet like if you get stuck in the ok i can recover but just look forward and don't think about like all like mistakes or being nervous when you're in a job interview you know it sounds like to me we're in the situation but to me it sounds like school you have a test on friday you have monday to thursday to prep for the test the test is the interview you know so i think the mindset that the teenagers in there and i school you know middle school that i don't want to  know about middle school or high school students they should prepare for it as if it was an exam or a test because that's what it sounds like to me when i heard she said you know she when did you know she knew that she should've done this to me that's important too because you don't know all the answers or all the questions that are going to be on the tests and research so you know you're prepared you know what are some fun to go to these should know yeah definitely what i was suggesting with even my own personal friends that are doing interviews now for a more serious job positions is making flashcards you write down a story you write down you know the situation your behavior and then the outcome so what was going on what you did give like specific answers give numbers give you know dates like actual hard concrete facts and then the result of that just having you know there is a five or six stories that you can kind of like take from your memory and use right away so they're not fumbling around and you know trying to figure out what you want to say if you have those like five or six or five to six stories you can you know pretty much answer a lot of major questions that you're going to be asked so having that gives you a lot of confidence and that's always what i tell people is make flashcards you know you're studying for a test like you said and it helps tremendously produce so that we will be right back after these messages when you think about sports what do you think of that ball football lacrosse track but you probably never thought about golf as a way to learn valuable life skills plus it's challenging and fun the first year of greater trend and beyond expectations are working together to give you a better shot to learn how to help you gain new allows people to make a computer control that anything including bananas which is pretty awesome we talk a little bit who laughs and some of the emerging technologies that are earth well this is actually somewhat of earth who actually will float on this kind of but it brings any fun to or to go to they should know for like preparing for their yes for the year and you have been and it's with me i think you know just being really aware of you know your body language talk in front of a mayor take like your mom or your cousin or somebody like a family member or friend in fact just like have them sit down and you know quiz you when things are asked like prepare interview questions and see they can give you feedback like oh well you look nervous about this you looked happy about this you know they can tell you like how you are responding to questions so you have a little bit to go on playing all preparation for an interview how generally how long do you give yourself if you're in an interview situation to prepare for an interview we cope with things  well for my last job that i interviewed for it was a solid week before i researched different questions that i knew that the company tends to ask that's something you can look up online so i wrote wrote down all those questions on flash cards and that was about fifteen to twenty different ones i want a little overboard but it definitely helped me as a reading that down going through answering those questions back and forth my friends having my boyfriend asked me them so i could answer them with like confidence researching the company knowing where they were their organized organization started from where they are now c e o those kind of like their financials what's going on behind that and i also like the people side of it so the more time you give yourself the more confidence you give yourself an interview because if you walk in not really knowing what you're getting into you're going to stumble around you're going to kind of fish around but then even for like a less serious interview i mean you still want to give yourself you know some time to really kind of go through stuff and prepare yourself so you're confident for that i think the biggest thing in every interview that i look for is confidence in some things that i think saying i don't know you had a funny story or a story earlier you know if you come into an interview i had i had somebody come in with with food with them with different wherever you want to think of that it's like it's important and you don't know what this job is going to lead for your next job so you always want to make a good impression and you know dress your best and be ready you know i just curious because i've never been in this situation before and if you guys can answer that question this question time have you to either of you ever been in a group interview situation i've been in one it was like a three like a three interview process and the first out so you know definitely putting a personality through being the first person to say you know raise your hand like we did some weird like team building things and you know and sometimes even saying like a weird like memorable thing really just kind of put you on the spot  then you know at the end you know giving a good handshake eye contact and just really making yourself known to the group interviewer kind of definitely helps you for them to remember you you want to be memorable i mean i think in their any interview situation you want to make yourself stand out and not fit in with the rest of the interviews because i mean when you interview people you're looking at how many applicants a day were i mean sometimes like you'll will go through about four or five interviews in a day and seasonal stuff comes in you're doing at least five to six interviews a day for like two to three weeks so with that with those numbers how do you you know pick that one for the job and it's definitely it really comes down in into the confidence so i keep on saying is that even if they don't have the best answers or even if they seem really kind of nervous you know it but if they can you know show that they you know they really put time into it because like i understand being nervous like that's something that i dealt with so i i definitely don't put that as a strike against somebody have them like i want them to use that something that they can you know step forward with so i'm just having you know really good i think i just can't stress enough i contacted a good handshake you know just really kind of such a part because not a lot of people do that it's really weird very people don't do that a really you're doing an interview just make sure you let like really show because that's what's going to make you stand out more than like what do they want me to say or what do you think they're looking for just like really you know it's cliche but really be yourself seriously and so on top of being yourself just prepare for your interview it is at mcdonald's am i allowed to say that whether it's i'd make donald's i read any kind of job out there perfection will be professional but the number one we can all agree on today is confidence  well because the your so slash be confident and surely that you will get the job with no problem so that is it for mind talk today thank you ladies for coming by the way we're sitting next to i don't think we jade leatham and solomon brown and i free the people that do not know what my talk is i am here to explain that and i i will do so a couple months ago i came to this guy i met him through a mutual friend named seo muso and he runs a nonprofit organization called the oly and under that nonprofit organization we came up with book and the reason why this came into existence was because growing up in the neighborhood that i am and i see that people around my age my peers are filled with apathy in i want to eliminate eliminate that with making a positive outlet for them to fill themselves to be themselves  just i said many women stayed i join mine talked because i felt that it was a really good way for the youths express themselves not only for them to express themselves to us but for us to ask express ourselves through them and it's a give and take sort of thing so i really like that aspect of it it's just been a really high opening screens because you don't really see a lot of people who are young being comfortable with expressing themselves in a way that's productive to their growth so i think that mind art is a really good way for people who are young to productively and positively express themselves in a way that can reach a lot of people i read by the man in the solomon and i'm the producer of tucson solomon the reason why it's my talk we came up with this name because we believe that everybody should express themselves whatever is going on in your head let us know and let's you let your mind be heard and i always say th to everybody that i meet are our friend or anything but i like to go by that our minds are filled with a magination motivation and inspiration and you never know who listening so let your mind be heard and don't be afraid to speak your mind which is just i would you agree with me like it's i feel like it's not only a place where you can
