Hi Richard. I just wanted to share with you that I was interviewed for a senior managerial job in the NHS today and I got the job!!! It wouldn’t have been possible without all your amazing online resources. I am grateful and want to say a massive thank you for all you do.

Hello Richard, I would just like to tell you that at 70 years young I was successful in obtaining a position with the Cross River Rail project for the upcoming Brisbane Olympics. I found your documents and reviews helpful and enjoyed your informative voice and mannerism. I have been employed since I was 15 and thought my youth LOL would be an impediment. Many thanks Susan

I just wanted to say a huge Thank you for all the content you’ve provided on job interviews. I cant even express you how much you’ve helped me. I have been working in my current job for 18 years and probably should have left at least 5 years ago, but struggled with my confidence as I felt I couldn’t do anything else. I found a job and the description really resonated with me and I decided to go for it. I filled out the questionnaire quite quickly as I presumed I would have the opportunity to attach my CV. That didn’t happen and after a week or so plucked up the courage to ring the number and ask if the position had been filled and and explained I was wondering if I could possibly send over my CV as there was information that I hadn’t included that would hopefully ensure my an interview. I was too late, but an hour later I received a call to say I had reached the next stage and was invited to screen test for a mock call and mock email situation. I then spent hours and hours watching your content making notes and practicing my answers to relevant questions I imagined I would be asked. Non of that’s came up in the screen test (as I guess I didn’t really understand the process). I passed that part, And interviewed the following day. Had the zoom interview with a panel of 3 people, was honest about my nerves but felt confident in what I could say, in most situations. I turned off the camera straight after and really felt I couldn’t have done more. All the questions came up that you’ve covered and I had an instant response for them which really enabled me to come across calm and in control, and they were all nodding and smiling whilst taking notes. When asked if I had any questions for us? I used one of yours and got a “ooh great question, I will let Alison answer that” Haha she was put right on the on the spot.
I find out beginning of this week either way and regardless of the outcome .. I’m know I can do it all over again in the next interview with the skills and confidence you’ve given me .. thanks a lot 😊

I've been watching your videos in preparation for a couple of interviews (video and in person) and your tips helped me land the position. Thank you for helping land my first supervisor position.

[raadyusuf]

Had my first ever final job interview for kpmg this week, got rejected :( but I have to say your videos are definitely helping me mate, tysm for making them!!

[kennethmfon]

Thanks for these videos Richard, they are golden! I prefer the answer # 1 to the free time question as it captures exactly how I use my free time. Thanks once again for the videos.

[xbombwarrior]

I got this question on my recent interview. I told the hiring manager I played video games, but I recently stopped playing as much as I did before. I joked around and told him it was probably due to me getting older. I then told him I held and played board games as a hobby. Last week, I got the job offer and I accepted it!

[bellaem]

Hello Richard, its a long overdue comment but I would like to express my gratitude for providing us viewers with your very helpful videos. Your videos helped me prepare for my dream role. I followed your advice and even bought a pack from your website which helped me in my application and interview! Thank you once again, and I hope many more people will see your videos 😊

[ahmadpourjavadi]

I love all those THREE comments&answer: but the second one is more resonated to me as a creative person! Thanks, Richard

[maheswarimohankumar]

Hi Richard, I did get through my interview after watching your videos and gaining tips, they were very helpful, means a lot to me, Thanks so much, All the best for your upcoming videos

[lxoxyxi]

Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing all your invaluable tips and advice. The first impression lasts. I think I have to get all your tips in my arsenal and use them appropriately. As for three options that which one I think is the strongest, I would be choosing all three. Because in all three I can see my pattern of my daily routine and activity. You are doing a great job teaching the basics of interview. I think I would like to add two more qualities to your success interview list. Speaking confidently and not to get too excited. You rock! Cheers!

[AK-vbjh]

Hi Richard I prepared myself by watching your videos. When I was interviewed I managed to answerd them satisfactorily and got the job. My first interview successful, thank you very for your supporting videos.

[tinashemashao]

This actually came up in my interview yesterday but in a form of “Do you watch tv & what are you interested in or your goals outside work”

[franciscojoseortegadiaz]

You always put a lot of energy in your videos, and your voice is loud and clear, I enjoy that and also of course that the information that you provide has a critical importance, and you always give as many details as you can, thank you!

[mariabelen]

I am grateful with you because you take your time to help people to get a better job

[mdrabiulakand]

Hi Richard really you're amazing, your content is very much helpful I'm always waiting for your upcoming content and grateful on you, stay safe and take care ❤️

[jonashjelm]

I was helped by your videos and used them to create good answers ahead of my interviews. Even though the interviewers questions proved to be somewhat different from what i had prepared I was mentally prepared to answer any question. The day after my second interview and even before the scheduled last interview they called me and wanted to hire me!

[KingOMiami]

Thank you for this video! I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I have enjoyed the videos I have seen so far. As I am about to embark on my quest for new employment opportunity one of my concerns is how to explain that I am now taking care of my elderly parents and whether that could hinder me in my job search. I appreciate that you touch on this and how it can be used as a positive aspect. Cheers!

[xDkSpantegon]

Thanks for the video, it helped! I agree with nearly everything.
From my point of view, games and series are not necesarily a negative point to mention. It depends on how you mention them.
("Too much" of anything is never okay)

- Games (online and at a friends house) can also be a means to an end: Socializing.
- Tv series can also show that you can become very enthousiastic about a certain one.

Furthermore, sports and family/friends are indeed always good topics to mention.

Keep up the great videos!

[petraseiferth]

I am from Germany and i watch your Videos. I have learned so much. I agree with options 2, but with a little Fantasy you can mix something together from the answers! Thank you!
