  1. I just go in and state that I am qualified, yet coachable with a deep desire to learn and improve. I provide my salary requirements based on market value with predetermined increases based on performance. Then, I tell them to provide all the phone numbers to the other candidates so I can personally call them and let them know that the position was filled. True story that worked (during an economic downturn) and received an offer letter before I arrived home! <not-so-humble brag 🙂 You just have to be prepared and be your real self. If you're a straight up hardcore intellectual gangsta; then be that!!

  2. I totally made the mistake of answering my salary expectation right away during the first interview. Is there a way to fix that in the second interview?

    Thanks those are useful tips

  4. I just follow some of these steps for my group interview… landed the second job interview.. now I'm on to do research of the skills they are looking for and the story-liners I will say to let them know I am a good fit. Honestly they even said to me things like "most people are not as prepared as you are" and "that is an excellent question" which like Tori mentions it does show you're actually interested and prepared.

  5. Loved these tips, thanks for sharing 😊

  6. Very useful video! Thanks!

  7. You are an absolute scammer. You sell junk garbage on your website and when people are stupid enough – like me – to buy something – you hide and never answer emails when people come to you to complain about the scam. DO NOT BUY THIS WOMAN'S FAKE COURSES. – scam

  8. Thank you mom and dad, even I do not have opportunity to go to school, but I learn from you to find a challenging entry level job with limit skills. Thank you

  9. Thank you! Will definitely use your tips on my coming interviews.

  10. Great advice! Thanks!

  11. Absolutely savage advice in a very palatable time-frame. I did hours of job seeking research before getting my last job, this neatly ties everything I learned in five minutes. Great starting point

  12. You can give tips to business owners..

  13. Insightful indeed!

    Great Tory dunlap, I invite you for a live session.

  15. That is exactly what happened to me when I shared my salary requirements first. I was offered 15k lower than what I asked for. But after a year, developing all this domain knowledge, without a backup I ll leave the company as soon as i get an offer. They will lose time and money because they are stupid. On the other hand i am using company’s reputation to get more and more interviews!

  16. Great video, great tips! My 2cents on asking questions – 1. ask questions that give some insight into your motivations for the role. 2. Ask questions that show your business acumen. 3. Ask questions that show you’ve done your research
