I hate these questions. You posted a job, and I'm a worker who can look you straight in the eye, pass a background check, and show up on time. Match made in heaven!
@Snuzzled
To all job applicants: if you bring a skill to the table like fluency in more than one language (or even just being conversational in it) KNOW YOUR WORTH. Do not settle for minimum wage with a skill like this. Depending on factors like where you're working (eg, call center, customer service in an area with many customers who speak that language) and the rest of your skill set, you can negotiate up to 20 percent more per hour than if you didn't speak another language. Never bring more to the table for free.
@PumpkinMozie
I appreciate that she focuses on all types of jobs including minimum wage like this video instead of only focusing on high-level stuff like a lot of other channels do
@AlexisBevitt
I love how you ended that like they already hired you. "I love Chipotle. When can I start?"
@Gloszz
I used this word for word and the hospital director asked me how Chipotle and fast food is relevant to me applying to be an anesthesiologist.
@The_Second_Sister
One of my friends responded to this question with "because I'm cool" and got the job
@KeganKirby
Or alternatively, when they're desperately short on staff, just say: "i have two feet and a heartbeat, now give me the apron"
@moonhowlerwolf
I love how she uses several job levels for her examples, not just entry level or experienced job levels. Makes it relatable to everyone!
@amysmall9066
Dear job applicants. NEVER SAY " I am a fast learner and I am a hard worker". Instead, say this ==> " I can quickly learn new skills and adapt to new technologies or processes. I can also work effectively under pressure and prioritize tasks to meet deadlines."
@bethanyk.5378
I have been watching your videos for a bit now and your tips of another video help me negotiate a $1.50/hr raise so I will be making more than I was in my previous job with the total compensation. Thank you so much for all your help and tips I will continue to watch.

I think for any service industry position you just need to be confident and polite. Don't worry too much they need you more than you need them. If you show up on time and are somewhat pleasant, you'll be a key carrier in a year and a manager in 5.
@lucyknight841
I really love that you use examples from all types of industries, positions, and pay. I’ve seen you talk about some of the lowest to highest paying jobs, designer to service industry, independent contractor to manager to employee. Also I feel like often growing up what missed for some people in employee interviews are the subtle things you talk about. The main reason I think I interview well is because I know how to show them what I want while also being honest but I could never give clear advice to friends on how to do this. You explain these subtle things so well! In a way that helps people entering a job at any level and in any industry. I appreciate what you’re doing so much.
@alypsytmp
I would just reply with, “i guess let me answer your question with a question. Based on our conversation, my resume, and my experience, is there anything preventing you from hiring me that I can address?”. Or ask “what about my resume/application cause you to invite me in for an interview?” Or “what do you like about my background/experience?” Or start asking questions about thejob, typical day, what the manager’s goals are, or what a great year for them looks like or What problems the company is having or why the position is open in the first place etc. you are the solution to their problems, not a “nice to have” for the company. In sales you should be always asking questions. This is the same as the “sell me this pen” situation. You start asking questions like “how long have you been in the market for a pen”. Don’t fall into HR or the manager’s traps.
@spamham897
I know this is an example but fast food jobs really shouldn’t be asking the hard questions. More just “can you work weekends and holidays”
@Caitlynn552
I could never stand to do food service jobs again, but I do really miss the connection to my community that those jobs had. I miss seeing my neighbors and old teachers and knowing my work had a direct effect on them.
@brittany09
I’m so disappointed. I had an interview today and I think they just didn’t give me a great chance. I prepared to give it my all, but leading up to it they downplayed my opportunity. The manager was sitting in her office like she was exhausted, the seats in her office sank down and back so I couldn’t lean up and forward, I sat my purse down because I wanted to switch chairs but then by that moment everything was falling apart. I’m just so disappointed because I knew they already had someone else in mind but they had to interview me as to not cancel and look rude. It’s just disappointing.
@richb1576
I was asked this question and I said you should hire me because you need an employee to fill a role that I have been doing for company A for the last 28 years. If they did not go out of business I would still be there. Im loyal,trustworthy and dependable. I was confidant thru out the whole interview. I demonstrated my knowledge of the job and answered all of their questions. I asked a few of my own at the end and all in all I thought the interview went well. I asked what the next steps in the process were and they told me they had a few more interviews and second interviews would be by email invitation in about 2 weeks. 6 weeks later and no email positive or negative. Ghosted again.

I'm autistic, so basically I have a persona I use at work, a very cultivated mask to make sure I'm valuable and paid well... And you shouldn't promise what you don't have. And since I'm autistic, I don't have the skills that are valuable to be an office drone. So I pretend. I hide. I take breaks. And once a week, I do something without asking that's important and driven before hiding some more. If you aren't a fast learner, say something about how you are persistent worker and you like to make sure you're doing the best job with the least amount of errors. I HATE customer service. 10 years in customer service anyway. I hate working with people. Always on a team. I am not passionate about my work, I just need money to survive. So a carefully cultivated mask that I give at work is almost 100% the opposite of who I am in real life... I'm so fucking tired.
