Job interviews are theater—gently script and heavily practice delivering lines, drink an *extra* coffee/red bull if possible, practice emoting, learn your professionalized character and reduce the rest of your persona, vocal warm-ups, wear a costume, and rely on behind-the-scenes personnel to help you ready yourself.

Be confident. Fake it if need be but be confident.
Just got a job after three months of trying and 6 interviews.
I asked my supervisor how many were interviewed and why they chose me.
He said they had over 100 applicants and they interviewed 20.
They hired 1.
Apparently I interviewed well.
Im sure the other 19 they interviewed had just as much experience as I did.
I asked them exactly what the job duties were and explained how I have done exactly what they are describing
I finished by asking if there was anything else they needed to know.
They had a few questions I answered.
I thanked them for interviewing me and shook everybody’s hand and told them I looked forward to becoming a part of the organization.
I followed up with a thank you for interviewing me e mail.

I'm binge watching all your content right now. I'm on my 2nd round of interview for a super opportunity

This last point is exactly what I was told in my last interview - I came off unenthusiastic however the recruiter had enough experience to know that comes with nervousness and shyness. Also personality type. It sucks that I can't get the job roles I like due to something that's fundamentally a part of me. However thank you for the tips, I'll definitely put them in practice.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I’m currently binging all of your videos and shorts because I’m applying for a new position to advance my career and I’m sooo nervous but also so excited and your videos are calming me down so much and helping me channel my anxiety into confidence! Thanks a million!

[suzylecomte]

Hey Erin! I used all of your tips, including these ones, the questions I should ask, the thank-you note, etc. I think I nailed the job interview today! I really hope they will hire me! Thank you so much! ^^ <3

You mentioned doing makeup in the "look your best" part. Would you recommend doing makeup for an interview if you don't plan to wear makeup daily once you get the job? As an autistic person with sensory issues, I really dislike the way makeup feels on my skin, and I've embraced the freedom to go without it since I was about 25. Now that I'm 35, though, my skin is changing and I don't think I get away with "pretty privilege" anymore just wearing the skin I'm in.

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL!! i really wish you had a compilation or something with all your tips from shorts in one video.

[micheledoblitz]

Erin, I recently came across your channel, and I must say, how refreshing! Love the your energy and warmth. Thanks for all these great tips.

I feel like I'm stuck. I became a stay at home mom in 2001 worked from 2008-2010 and got laid off. Then I began homeschooling my son from second grade through high school. We just moved to a new state and my son will be starting college in the Fall. I really don't know what I want to do for work right now (because I don't want to do the jobs I did in the past). I enjoy helping people and also being creative. My husband definitely needs help with finances since our move which of course adds to the stress. The anxiety and feeling overwhelmed kick in and I just become "paralyzed" because I don't know what to do. Woo that sounds super whiney, I apologize.

be confident
repeat the words
slow down bring voice down
look attractive (professional clothing) - you feel how you look
halo effect
use affirmative language ( something that I’m currently working on is)
say Yes not yeah, absolutely,
dial up your enthusiasm
actively smile nod

[angelos]
