Jesus, this all sounds like the inner thoughts of a sociopath – it’s clinical manipulation! If this is how companies judge people and expect them to act, it’s no surprise psychos rise to the top 🥺
So many videos and advice on how people should behave at an interview! Where the f**k are the videos on how recruiters should talk, behave and give feedback at the interview and after the interview?
Too much BS! How much is the salary again???
Thanks so much
Stop overcomplicating hiring with superficial criteria. Skills, humility, responsibility, and genuine care should matter most—not just handshakes or body language. Yes, presentation is important, but overemphasizing it misses the real point of hiring: finding capable, dedicated people who add value. Judging candidates primarily on these minor details is shortsighted and unfair.
if you are confident in your abilities, these small behaviours come naturally even with introverted people. the video focuses on soft skills which are needed in all industries
That uncomfortable stool is making the speakers weirdly disturbed, which in return makes me unbearable to watch and listen to what they are saying. Poor video. Learned nothing.
i needed so bad thanks wired
2025 no hands shake…. it was the past
Learning by doing.
Fake it until you make it.
Just do it!
I hear people moaning about the job market and income. I do not have the highest possible income but that is because I acknowledge the other benefits of my current employer/company.
I could have a 40% higher income though, which I know because I do have interviews on a “regular” basis. At least once a year – better would be 3-4x a year.
You build a network, you stay in the interview game and you know your market value!
Go out and practice.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think this video is putting too much of emphasis on outer things that, sure, matter, but these are okay for HR and Marketing kind of job interviews. If you understand how any technical interview goes, be it in tech, finance, or accounting, you will stop saying “Don’t clear your throat” or “Don’t take time to think/reflect”.
If it’s just constant yapping in the name of flow, it means you have clearly not worked on enough complicated things; you have just performed theatrics or performative role duties. And sometimes it takes time to condense the intricacies of the question at hand, and make time and space for other questions as well.
Side note – The lady in the black dress, I don’t know why, but there is something off about her; she hardly has any expression. That’s highly questionable in my humble opinion because poise does not look like this.
Those stools for the ladies 🙄 so uncomfortable 🤦🏻♀️
bunch of baloney. none of this matters. especially Forget whatever that barbie says, its all bs.
As someone who hires in IT, this advice is irrelevant.
If I were hiring for body language or presence, then maybe this might make sense.
This was interesting but what if you have a disability and handshaking is not an option? How are you proceeded then?
I know this clip is old , but one said I should open my hands, the othe said dont…..wut????
They are pretentious lol
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
What should I do if I’m Muslim and don’t shake hands, it always feels so awkward (I’m a woman – don’t shake hands with men)
Great tips and all the unspoken tips that are helpful – Amazing video
There is also a sadness in the fact people are so judgemental about all these small details. Like it actually says more about how you do your job than your skills.
