Maybe you've gone on a few interviews, but you haven't made it to the job offer stage or you're struggling to get interviews at all.

Today's video is going to help you big time.

I am going to be talking Thio, one of my amazing clients and students.

She's actually here in my studio with me today and she's going to share with you her story and what she was able to dio that got her from being unemployed, not being able to land any job offers to then being able to sell herself confidently in front of employers and finally getting the job offer that she always wanted.

So if this sounds like something that you want to learn more about, stick around.

Thank you so much for being here with me today.

Thio have you in the studio and talking to the audience.

First of all, why don't you tell us a little bit about your professional background.

Been working as a business analyst for last over 10 years, and I have mostly worked in operations and customer contact center team, where worked on a lot of different projects in terms of my education.

So how my business analysis certification from there, I also went back to school again and finished my lean six a month certification from University.

Essentially, you've had a lot of years in that field.

So why don't you share with us a little bit about your story before working with me through standard get hired, tell us a little bit about what was going on with your job search.

So I finished my last contract in October of last year, and since then, on and off, I was looking for work and I wasn't getting a lot of call box, so I wasn't getting a lot of interviews, and even when I would get an interview, I was in having my success like will make it to the first round.

But I wouldn't make it to the second round where the third round I was working maybe 10 to 12 hours a day, applying for jobs.

I would apply for anywhere from 5200 200 jobs a week, and I wasn't having much success.

And I do remember I thought I came across your quarters for working on my resume, so I ended up taking off course, and that did help me get more interviews.

But I know my weakness was the interview process.

So when I get a lot of questions, sometimes I get really nervous or don't share the right details.

So that was my experience in a nutshell before I started the program with you.

So, yeah, and you know, that's something that a lot of people struggle with is they can get the interview.

But once they're in the interview, they're not able to sell themselves, and they're not able to communicate Well, okay, so Sudafed, why don't you share with us before learning my interview strategies and techniques?

And then how are you approaching interviews after you learned my interview strategies and methods before using Linda's interview strategies I was going into the interviews feeling really nervous, really anxious.

I didn't feel prepared for the interview, and at times I would feel really overwhelmed as well, because if it's a panel interview, you have three or more people interviewing you, and it would feel like the whole focus is on me and everything that I'm saying everyone is like writing it down, and that was really overwhelming.

There were times when I would wake up in the morning of the interview, and I'll be petrified just knowing that I have an interview today and I wouldn't want to get out of bed just cause if I just slept longer, maybe it's going to go away.

Maybe my anxiety will go away or they'll call and cancel the interview because it made me so nervous.

However, after meeting with you and going over the strategies while what I learned was, that wasn't a good way to go about things.

So then I would prepare my answers more from the job description.

So really, look at a re skill that have listed in the job description, break it down and kind of prepare questions around it and then prepare my answers around you, too.

So what that did was it really prepared me when I was going into a job interview?

I would feel like any question that they threw at me.

I was already expecting it had one version or another version of it already prepared in my head, so it gave me a lot of confidence doing an interview at any point of time.

If they were to ask me a question that I wasn't sure about where I didn't really prepare for it, I knew that Linda, talk me a strategy where I could prepare extra stories and advance and I could use one of those stories to my advantage.

So it gave me that extra boost of confidence, which was really, really helpful in it really showed during interview.

So I would see that the people interviewing me that would start smiling at me with a psycho like I could see the look on their face like, Oh, she just thought, if it on the spot because I'm not good at hiding my emotions so you could see pretty much everything on my face so they could really tell that I just thought if it on my feet and that it was a good answer that really impressed.

Okay, So who had been looking for your job for a while and you had gone on interviews?

And, like you said, you were really nervous and you weren't sure on whether you were going to get a new job and you felt not good enough.

So then you decided to sign up for stand up, get hired.

So I was thinking about signing up for the program for maybe four or five months, and I think the only reason why I didn't sign up for it sooner waas me basically just turning in my own way in stopping me or my career from moving forward.

And the reason why I signed up for the program was because I really believed in.

You have read so many of your testimonials.

I watched so many of your videos and energetically, there's something about you that always attracted me.

I decided to finally invest in myself in my career toe.

I wasn't going to invest with anybody else but you because I had confidence in your program.

I knew that when I started the program, whether I was able to land an offer in the forced four weeks or three weeks, or even by the completion of the program, I knew it was going to be successful, whether it was doing that time frame or whether it was going to be later on.

And I knew a lot of what you're going to teach me.

It's not going to be just for this particular role.

I know that I'm going to be able to take this forward and also be able to use this and my current role moving forward cause I mean everything that you do teach me.

So I do review my notes from time to time, like every other day or something, and it gives me a lot of confidence, everything that you've taught me.

Well, thank you so much for sharing that you know, because a lot of people they feel well, when it comes to finding a job, I should just be able to find it myself.

I should just should just be able to do it myself.

And, you know, obviously Google, there's a lot of information on Google.

I mean, obviously, if you search me up, you'll find me on Google.

But I guess what did you have to do from a mindset perspective that shifted you from saying I'm not going to keep trying this on my own.

I'm gonna ask for help, and I'm gonna reach out to Linda specifically to help me.

What was that deciding factor for you or what?

What did you have to tell yourself To shift your perspective?

So I'd reached a really low point in my life, which haven't last 15 16 years.

Like a spoke a little bit about it earlier, above nervousness or not feeling good.

That feeling didn't just last during the interviews.

That feeling was becoming a permanent feeling in my life.

So we was starting to impact my relationship with my husband or my relationship with my friends because most of my friends had jobs and when would meet I would just not be feeling good about, like spending money where he didn't know what to talk about and that became apartment and feeling, and that's not a good feeling.

And I started really worrying about myself that if this feeling last too long, like things are going to turn for the worst.

And what really shifted was eventually not that I wasn't feeling guide like I wasn't motivated to do anything.

I wouldn't really want to take him out for a walk.

I would do it because I had to walk him every day.

But it wasn't because I was excited and I really, really wanted to do it.

And when I reached that point and I make it a point to write, like one page or two pages every day, if not every day, I push myself to do it every week, and then I also go over and review my notes.

So when I reviewed my notes for the loss like month, month and 1/2 and I saw what I had written down and how it's feeling, I told myself I was like, No, something has to change what I am doing.

What I'm researching on Google or what I'm finding on Lincoln.

Yeah, they may be helping me, but they're not focusing on me and my personality.

So I knew I had to change and I had to invest in myself, and that was really the turning point for me, just knowing that I had to do it for myself and myself only, you know, now that I think bok at it, I feel like I should have done it sooner, because then I wouldn't have went through all this emotional and psychological mess that I did go through.
