I just found this video but wanted to say: I went through school, took many tests, had to go through 5 different interviews with 4 different supervisors at each interview to get a job at a Chevron refinery. The coveted job is high paying so I worked very hard to get to the interview. During the last of the 5 interview's they asked me if I had any questions for them, I said yes, can I please have the job? I am here to work hard so I can put my children through college and build a retirement for myself. (I mentioned a few other things and said: thank you for your consideration, shook each one of their hands and also thanked each one for their time.) I GOT THE JOB OUT OF OVER 3000 APPLICANTS. It works!!!! Just ask for the job. :)
@rodredoun1922
Most comments are missing the point, he said only ask for the job when you feel there a connection, a good vibe that the interviewer liked you.

Covid killed my last job so I was back out hunting. Applied for a job I thought I would never even get called for. During the first interview the manager asked why should you get this job before any of the other applicants. I said because I will show up every day and on time. Apparently that struck a nerve because I got a call back only two days later and in that interview was offered the job. I work in a field I've never worked in before. A very secure position with good pay.
@GlobalFreeLiving
Always ask for what you want! You will get it. Wise words from my father...thanks dad!

I'm an introvert so job interviews are my kryptonite. I'm a nice guy and hard worker but am just awful at verbalising it. Keep going all. God loves you.
@MishMashTravels
I asked this question at the end of the interview and they told me they would let me know. I ended up getting the job :)
@beautifulcrazy
Oooh such good advice. I remember I once said, "Great interview hey? Can I sign the contract now? I'll start tomorrow." I got the job there and then.
@PandoraEast
Wow, I never thought this was possible! I've had those moments! The last one the recruiter touched based with me the next day. I told him I would be surprised if they didn't offer me the job. They told me they would let me know in a week. He called same day and confirmed!
@mattlindgren2886
A manager gave me this advice around 15yrs ago. I've used it for every job I've interviewed for since then and I got the job every time.
@RodtheFrog
It was a panel interview and although it felt awkward I said, "I like the job, I think my job skills are a good match for the position and I hope you feel the same. Can I have the job?" All three interviewers cracked up laughing. Later that week, I got the offer. Thanks for your suggestion. I start Monday.
@tonydodd1631
I did an interview in the UK just after seeing this video, and at the end, I asked for the job, the interviewer loved it, and said he'll push me through. I got the job :) Thanks
@izzyinthe210
My closing statement was always " if this job is open to anyone,I'd like to have it,I hope you consider me for this position".. and it worked..

Hi Don, thank you for all your content. As a career changer who hasn’t had to interview in 4 years, it has been a tremendous help. I wanted to let you know that this worked for me! I had my final interview with the president of the organization on Friday. My last question was asking for the job. He chuckled and let me know that I was the last interviewer and they’d get back to me within a week. On Monday I got the job offer! After being on pins and needles throughout this 2 month interviewing process, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I’m so glad I am on your email list because I received an email a day before my interview with this helpful tip. I can’t thank you enough!
@drpill1230
4:50 I can’t believe that actually worked, I had a 90 minute interview the scheduled time was 60 minutes at the end I said after discussing about most of the job details at the end I said after a moment of thinking was “I made my decision, I want to work here when can I start.” They immediately we’re laughing, I was still confident and gave me a tour around the office. A week later I got the offer letter in writing. The interview was for a associate civil engineering position and during the interview it was derailed multiple times, why are talking about scuba diving instead of engineering so I had to steer the conversation back to Engineering side. I didn’t sleep before the interview, was completely sleep deprived and the interview was somewhat awkward at first then went better later on. It felt like a conversation than an interview. Pro tip: Be genuine and confident about saying those words. Thank you

I did this once. They asked "Do you have any questions for us?" I responded "when do I start?" They went into the hallway, talked for a few seconds, came back in and said "Do you have time to start the paperwork today?" Then I was escorted to Admin where I was introduced and handed the new hire paperwork. Serious the best job I ever had!
@melissarita5069
Wow! I've been saying "So when do I start?" for the past decade for jobs I really wanted. I was hired on all of the ones I asked the question. I never correlated that until today.
@XtremeRT04
At the end of my interview today, I felt comfortable asking the hiring manager "Can I have the Job?". 30min later I have an offer letter! Thanks Don! Good Idea!! 😁
@betsyc6055
I listened to a bunch of your videos before my last interview and I did MUCH better than I had during the past year of unemployment. I’m expecting to hear I got into the next round next week. If that comes true I’m definitely doing this. I want to share that I used the question “imagining me in this position what would you expect me to accomplish in the first six months in the job?” The panel LOVED the question and took about ten minutes to answer it. One of the panelists at the end said that he would welcome working with me. And then after my thank you note he said he welcomed my application. That’s never happened to me before.
@buttafly58
I tried this at a job interview today, they both chuckled when I asked… I got an offer the same day. I’m baffled this worked so well. Thanks for the advice!
