The Job Interview Experience

Interview question "Tell us about a time you received negative feedback" has hidden depths. It's not just about weaknesses: It reveals how you react to criticism, assess your skills, and approach improvement. Good answers: Acknowledge weakness, explain how you learned from it, and showcase growth. Bad answers: Blame others, make excuses, dwell on the past mistake. Tip: If you've never received major negative feedback, discuss seeking feedback for improvement.

This episode explores the changing landscape of work and how job seekers can thrive in the new normal. Shahrukh Zahir, CEO of RightFit Advisors, a recruiting firm that uses AI to match talent with companies, shares his insights on what modern professionals are looking for in jobs and how employers can attract and retain top talent. Key takeaways: Remote work flexibility is a top priority for modern professionals. Employers need to understand how to assess and value potential employees in a remote setting. Highlighting your impact on others during the interview process can set you apart. Cover letters are still important and using AI tools to personalize them can be helpful. Job seekers should focus on tailoring their resumes and cover letters to highlight skills directly related to the job description. Persistence is key! Don't get discouraged if you don't land the first job you apply for. #jobsearch #recruiting #remotework #worklifebalance #careeradvice #artificialintelligence #hiringtips #motivation #interviewtips

The traditional career path is dead. People are no longer expected to stay in one job or industry for their entire career. There are more resources available online than ever before to help job seekers find jobs and understand what skills are in demand. Remote work is becoming increasingly common, which gives job seekers more flexibility in where they live and work. When applying for a job, it is important to do your homework and learn as much as you can about the company and the position. Job seekers should also be prepared to answer questions about their skills and experience. Here are some tips for job seekers: Get out and talk to people in your field. This is a great way to learn about different career paths and get advice from people who have been successful. Be prepared to be persistent. The job search can be tough, but it is important to keep at it. Don't be afraid to apply for jobs that you are not 100% qualified for. The worst they can say is no. Take advantage of online resources such as job boards and career websites. Be prepared to negotiate your salary.

https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/coaching TESTIMONIALS “Matthew is a real pro. He is extremely insightful and even more gracious with his time. I am on a journey to build up myself as a professional and surpass the career and financial goals I've set for myself. Having Matthew in my corner has helped me take big steps in my career and I am grateful to work with him.” JEFF E “I was preparing for an all day, onsite interview with various members and teams of the interviewing company. I felt prepared as far as researching the company's mission, goals, values, etc., but felt totally unprepared in my talking points and how to present myself. This is where Matthew helped greatly fill that void. During our coaching session, Matthew helped solidify how to create a solid strategy to present my best self during the interview process by going through potential questions, providing feedback on my responses, and giving me novel perspectives on how to address some of the weaknesses I felt I had. I am happy to say that I landed the position and truly believe that was with Matthew's help.” BRIAN V “Matthew can quickly assess an individual's career situation during a coaching session and get straight to the point. He provided valuable guidance on improving my resume to effectively showcase my skills to distinguish myself and also assisted me in adjusting my approach. In summary, I would recommend his coaching services for those seeking professional guidance.” GINGER T “If you're competing with me for a nonprofit marcom director role, I wouldn't recommend Matthew's coaching. Move along. Nothing more to see here. Anyone else, let me tell you that my 90-minute session with Matthew flew by and felt like the best step I've taken in my job search for a while. He gave me valuable feedback on my CV and LInkedIn profile based on his deep experience in recruiting. We role-played and discussed several interview questions. For some, he pointed out how my answer could work against me and suggested changes. For others, he urged me to write down and practice elements of strong responses. He helped me understand how to tailor my answers to resonate with the interviewer. This was the kind of practice and coaching I've long felt I needed, but felt reluctant to ask friends to provide. I might sign up for more sessions soon!” JEFF O “I've had the pleasure of working closely with Matthew for a couple weeks now, and I can confidently say that he gives exceptional advice. His expertise and guidance have been instrumental in preparing me for interviews and navigating the job market. Matthew has helped me articulate my experiences and strengths effectively. He has a keen understanding of what recruiters are looking for and has coached me on focusing on scenarios and achievements that truly resonate with the job description. Thanks to his advice in Coaching Session #1, I had a great conversation with a recruiter and had my interview scheduled with the hiring manager before that call even ended. Thank you Matthew! You truly are an invaluable asset to any job seeker.” JENNIFER H “Matthew, I wanted to let you know I accepted a position today. I have to give you a huge thank you. When I had my interview for this position, I enjoyed myself. I heard you in my head with all the great tips on handling myself in my job interviews. Take care, and thanks again for what you do and how you change people's lives.” ALYSSA B I was in a contract job that didn't quite meet my needs or expectations. When the contract ended, I faced the challenging task of job hunting. Despite numerous applications and interviews, I felt like I was spinning my wheels and not making any progress. It was a frustrating and disheartening period. That's when I came across Matthew's podcast from Candidate Club. His insights resonated with me, and I found his advice to be practical and grounded. Encouraged by what I heard, I decided to seek personal coaching from Matthew. The impact of this decision was significant. In just two weeks, I secured a job at a company that aligns perfectly with my skills and career goals. Matthew's coaching provided the direction I needed to successfully navigate the interview process. His personalized approach and understanding of the job market were truly helpful. I'm grateful to Matthew for his support during a challenging time in my career. His guidance was a turning point in my job search. If you're feeling stuck in your job search, I recommend considering Candidate Club. His expert advice was a turning point in my success. KEITH G Matt with Candidate Club is by far the best interview prep and coaching I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond to ensure you are prepared for an interview. The tools he provides are very useful, explained well and honestly guides you towards results. He was very responsive to my questions and setting up sessions. Extremely professional throughout the entire experience while actually caring about his own clients success. His attention to detail along with his overall knowledge makes him truly best in class. If you don’t work with him to further your career you’re missing out big time. I cant thank him enough for everything he has done. Matt. Thank you again for all the advice and assistance you provide for me to land into my new career. KRISTINA B I cannot recommend Matthew’s coaching services strongly enough, or say enough wonderful things about our session! I first met Matthew through his podcast, and was so impressed by the clear and actionable advice that I took the leap of booking a session. I’m so glad that I did! I’ve worked with a lot of career and interview coaches in the last few years, and my session with Matthew was by FAR the most insightful, supportive, actionable, and confidence-boosting! I couldn’t believe how much I got from our session, and how much of it has stuck with me. A year later, I still look back on my notes and use his tips in my interactions with colleagues at my new role. A++++! JENNIFER N When I was contacted by the recruiter at a company that I had applied for multiple times without success I knew I had to do something differently; I searched for various interview coaches and none had the service I was looking for. I came across the Mock Interview package on Candidateclub.com and it was exactly what I was looking for plus more. I used all CandidatClub.com tips and materials, and Mathew was responsive from day one and with short notice and limited time he promptly responded to all my emails. Mathew prepared me to succeed and gave me the level of confidence that I did not have otherwise. After my first interview I received an offer and Mathew continued to help me negotiate to ensure I got my dream job. Candidateclub.com has been the absolute best decision and professional investment of my life. Once again thank you so much for everything. You changed the course of my life and my career. CATARINA S “Gave me the confidence I needed to get my Dream Job! I signed up for Matthew’s coaching class when I was on my job search because it did not seem like I was making much progress. I had a very strong resume with my education, work history and background but I was not able to land my dream job. Matthew’s training came at the right time, it was timely, detailed, and on point for today’s job search. The training covered many topics and got me to see things from the hiring manager’s perspective. Many of these techniques I did not cover in school and his training greatly leveled up my job searching skills. We went over such topics as pitfalls to look out for when interviewing, how to properly interview over Zoom, how to have the confidence to go for the job you want, how to manage nerves and stress as well as how to be properly organized before interviews. Training also covered Resume and Cover Letter reviews, stress reduction techniques, and understanding exactly what the employer is looking for in a candidate from the job description. Once I made the changes suggested to my search techniques, resumes, and cover letters, I immediately started seeing more success. I had more second-round and final-round interviews than before. The interviewers frequently told me they were very impressed with my resume. they could tell I was very detailed and organized candidate, and wanted to learn more. So much so that I landed my dream job with an amazing company! I could not be happier. Matthew’s training had a direct impact on my job search success and for this, I am extremely grateful. His training made a massive difference and gave me the confidence to go after what I truly wanted. this is life-changing content; I hope more people’s lives can be impacted by his good work and obtain their dream job! Thank you, Matthew, your show has amazing content and the best I have found online for job seekers. You are changing lives. Continue being a blessing to others and producing amazing content!” ZWADE J I had the privilege of working with Matthew and I can't praise him enough! His personalized approach, wealth of experience, and unwavering support made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance, I went into my interview feeling confident and well-prepared. He also did a great job of pointing out areas where I can improve and gave great feedback on shifting my mindset for the interview. I highly recommend Matthew for anyone seeking interview success!

Learning is a constant: The tech industry is fast-paced, so showcasing a willingness and ability to learn new things is essential. Be honest (and proactive): Don't be afraid to acknowledge skill gaps in interviews. Instead, demonstrate your initiative to learn by mentioning courses or resources you'll use to close the gap. Tailor your approach: Recognize that different company cultures require different interview tactics. Startups seek creativity and enthusiasm, while large corporations might prioritize deep expertise. Quality over quantity: Consider focusing on a few well-developed projects on your portfolio instead of a long list of technologies you've barely touched. Be a generalist with depth: Focus on a broad range of skills, but become an expert in at least a few areas. Showcase your abilities with real projects, not just a laundry list of technologies. Tailor your approach: Adapt your interview style to the company culture. Enthusiasm and creativity are valued at startups, while Fortune 500 companies might seek deep expertise in a specific technology. Honesty is appreciated: Don't be afraid to acknowledge skill gaps in interviews. Instead, demonstrate your initiative to learn by mentioning courses or resources you'll use to close the gap. Follow up strategically: After an interview, follow up to showcase your eagerness and initiative. You can mention that you're enrolling in a course to address a specific weakness you identified. Recruiters will learn: Technical expertise isn't everything: Look beyond specific technologies and assess a candidate's problem-solving skills, communication, and cultural fit. Involve engineers in the interview process: Engineers can assess a candidate's technical abilities and compatibility with the team. Beware of bad resumes: Resumes with extensive keyword lists might bypass HR but may not reflect real abilities. Readability matters: Pay attention to how easy it is to scan a resume. Highlight relevant skills within the first 15 seconds to avoid getting passed over. There are more bad companies than good ones: Encourage candidates to research companies before applying.
