A short YouTube video ("Don't Skip Your Mock Interview") in which the speaker (energetic-surrealism) gives concise, actionable interview advice: 1) do serious mock interviews with a friend and get direct feedback, 2) pause after questions to collect your thoughts before answering, and 3) prepare situation-based stories that address the question. The video opens with promotion for a guide called "Prescribed Motion, the Thriving Guide for Young Professionals" (pre-order CTA) and a webinar launch. Ends with an invitation for comments and requests for future topics.

Hey guys. Happy Friday. Thanks for checking this video out and thanks for all the support with David and I's upcoming guide, Prescribed Motion, the Thriving Guide for Young Professionals. Head to my featured section for some awesome testimonials that just came through. It made every single second we spent building this guide worth it and you can pre order a copy there. Also, look out for Dave and I as we launch it next Monday live on his webinar. For this week's Friday video, I wanted to talk about interviewing. I've been talking about it all week and I wanted to kick it off with mock interviewing. Go do one. Get a friend, have them ask you 10, 15 questions in interview type situations. Serious. No laughing, no joking, and get critical feedback right then and there. I'm telling you, no one else in the candidate pool is doing a mock interview. Go get that practice. It's one of the best ways to practice for an interview. The second thing I wanted to talk about is the pause. I just did it right there. It's not that deep. Make sure you do it. When you get asked a question in an interview, give yourself some time, collect your thoughts, think about some points you want to hit, and then move on to your answer. It's going to help you sound more concise and flow for the interview and help them understand it more. The last point I wanted to hit here today have a situation for the question they ask. Think about those points you want to hit for that situation that you are in in your professional experience and tell it like a story. Help it flow. Get those points in that are addressing the question being asked. And when you can really nail down a situation in a story, like I said before, it's going to come to the interviewer so much easier. They're going to understand it and they're going to know you know where they're going with that. That's it for this week's Friday video. As always, questions, comments, insights below. Message me if you want me to cover something in next week's Friday video and thanks again for all the support and have a great rest of your weekend.
