I help jobseekers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have taught business at the post-graduate level, mentored startup founders, and worked across five industries (in both large and small businesses). The BEST WAY TO CONTACT ME with questions is via my weekly interactive live streams on this channel. Email is not the way. Unfortunately, I do not provide 1-on-1 coaching for jobseekers. I do have courses that can help, though. - Bill "The Companies Expert"

Best Answer. Welcome to another educational HR video on how to pass a job interview. Sometimes we leave a job. Sometimes we are laid off. Sometimes we are fired. How should we explain to an interviewer (whether they are a recruiter or hiring manager), and how MUCH should we explain. Well, it depends on whether it is a first-round interview or a later-round interview. What we say also depends on whether we were laid off, left/resigned, or were fired. I give broad guidelines and example answers in all of these situations, as well as several principles that are at play. Knowing these can help to frame your answer.

My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school. This channel is a platform to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about. Who Am I? I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have an engineering degree, an MBA, a master's degree in finance, and a master black belt in lean six sigma. I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. In the last five years, I have also been mentoring startup founders and teaching business at a post-graduate level. Why I Want To Involve My Community: The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make? Please contact me with questions, and I will try my best to help. Best of luck! Thank you for being here and reading this, and have yourself an amazing day! -Bill "The Companies Expert" #jobinterview #jobinterviewquestions #interviewquestionsandanswers (Please note: I own the copyright to all music contained in this video, and can provide verification upon request.)
