Comments by "Rich B" (@richb1576) on "AdviceWithErin" channel.

I just nailed an interview and got a job offer thanks to Erin. I followed all of her advice and did everything she suggests in this clip. During orientation my supervisor who was showing me the job was also one of the interviewers so I asked him why I was hired. I told him I was part of an online support group and would share his answer if he did not mind. He said it was fine. They interviewed around 12 people and hired 1. He said and I quote him here. “You interviewed well.” I was not expecting that. I thought it would be my experience (28 years) Or my professionalism. Nope. It was my interview skills. Thank you Erin.

I recently lost a PT job I was at for 28 years and honestly thought I was going to retire from. There I was. 57 years old and back on the market. I needed to find a PT job to replace the one I lost and thinking nobody’s gonna want to hire somebody who’s 57 years old. Im putting in applications all over and getting little action on them. Yea I could prob get a fast food job or retail job. I have tons of experience in both but I did not want a min wage job. I came across your channel and It changed everything. I changed up my resume and started getting interviews. I brushed up on my interview skills and went in with confidence knowing I got this. I landed a nice PT job working for my state in my field of work. When I got hired I asked them why they hired me over the other candidates. My supervisor told me along with my experience I interviewed well. Thanks Erin. You helped immensely. I look forward to your new venture.

Went for a job interview for custodian at a state college. Now Some might think oh they will hire anybody. No. Thats far from the truth. I went for a city custodial job and there was over 100 other applicants. They took us in bunches of 50 and we had to take a test. Kinda like the post office gives. So I get an interview for a state college. I looked up the colors of this college and wore clothes in those colors. I walked into the interview wearing a blue polo and all 4 of the interviewers were wearing blue. I have not done anything yet and I already look like I belong.

Be confident. Fake it if need be but be confident. Just got a job after three months of trying and 6 interviews. I asked my supervisor how many were interviewed and why they chose me. He said they had over 100 applicants and they interviewed 20. They hired 1. Apparently I interviewed well. Im sure the other 19 they interviewed had just as much experience as I did. I asked them exactly what the job duties were and explained how I have done exactly what they are describing I finished by asking if there was anything else they needed to know. They had a few questions I answered. I thanked them for interviewing me and shook everybody’s hand and told them I looked forward to becoming a part of the organization. I followed up with a thank you for interviewing me e mail.

Good for you. I too am in my 50s and last year I lost my pt job. Learning how to navigate this new job searching world was key to finding a new pt job. There are places that put up signs still like Grocery stores or retail which is what I did for work. Im glad it worked out for you. As for that other poster. Haters gonna hate. You said nothing wrong.

@callenstewart Good luck to you on your Journey. I believe everything happens for a reason. Usually that reason is not apparent for years.

Go on interviews. I never thought Id be looking for a job again. Im 57 and my main job is 2-10:30 at night. I had a PT morning job and after 28 years the place went out of business. The first interview I went on I was a nervous wreck. It showed and I did not get a call back. I kept on going to interviews. Even ones for places that were way down on my list. Each interview gave me knowledge and I was more confidant because of this. I got a job offer after 2 months of looking at my second choice and accepted it. 2 days later my first choice offered me a conditional offer that I accepted and started the process of sec check, health check and fitness check. I passed everything and was offered the job with a 2 week or 4 week start date. I told them Id love to start asap but I have committed to a job prior to their offer and needed to give notice and I took the later date. It was only 2 months until I got that first job and 3 months until I got and started at my first choice job but it felt like a year. I went on 8 interviews and 2 video interviews. Out of those 10 interviews I got 2 job offers. 2 emails telling me they decided to go with somebody else but would keep my name on file for a year and one voice mail regretfully informing me that the job went to another applicant. The other 5 ghosted me.

For the past 25 years I had 2 jobs. One main job 8 hrs a day working 2-10:30 and a morning PT job for extra money. A year ago my PT job went out of business in July. I was 57 years old and not sure if that would work against me. I learned pretty quickly that sites like monster and indeed were fairly useless to me. The one thing they were good for was giving leads to where the jobs were. I would then go to that company’s hiring website and a lot of the time the job on the big job sites would not be on the company site. I got my daughter to fix my resume and started sending it out into the world along with watching videos by Erin and other u tubers to get advice on how to navigate this job searching world. Like she says in this video. I used to just find a job in the paper and go apply in person. Most of the time you got an on the spot interview. So this was all new to me. I guess I was either lucky or all the advice paid off. It only took me 4 months to find a replacement morning PT job. It pays more than my last pt job and is stable. Applying directly to the companies website and practicing Erins interview tips got me this job. I fully believe without updating myself with utube videos on how to interact with todays hiring climate I would never have found or been able to land this job
