This helped me land a second interview which I have today. Most importantly the interview went smooth in 15 min talking about myself and resume and I got the second interview. Practicing this video is so important and will set you up with confidence.

Hi Ben! Awesome videos! I subscribed today! This video is so important. I think about how I've silently coached myself to answer this question and - I feel like I know the basics... show how your background shines, briefly describe your major accomplishments at your current/last position and let the answer direct you into why you're a good fit for this new position. But when it comes to formulating my own answer (especially about "what I do now") I get so lost! My issue is - my job is different EVERY day. Everything I've done is using skills that needed to be self-taught on the job and can be too complex to explain or too specialized to be a relevant topic of discussion. I also on many days consider myself somewhat of a master troubleshooter but also a generalist where I will know how to do anything/everything at my company but I plan not to be the expert and rather shape my experts under me. This is so hard to explain and somehow does not come off so great in an interview, especially when my next job I'm interviewing for is NOT a COO job or Director of Ops job. So I end up losing myself in the question and I don't seem to articulate the value I think I can bring to a new company when I try to explain "what I do now." Hopefully, you have some advice for us who have a very difficult time explaining what we do!

[DavidRojas-oucy]

Thanks

I subscribed: I'm in the process of transitioning back into the workforce after a 6 year work sabbatical. During that time, I focused on pursuing my passion for photography and digital artistry in an self-employed capacity. I think those activities, along with my previous work experiences will be an aid in helping me to land a job in a related field. Your videos are are great aid to help me get back in mindset of interview questions and answers.
