  • Hi there, my name is Richard McMunn from the interview training company PassMyInterview.com.

  • And in this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to pass any interview if you have no experience

  • whatsoever.

  • So it doesn't matter whether you've not been to an interview before, but more importantly,

  • it doesn't matter whether you have no work experience, and this is your first job that

  • you're going for.

  • This tutorial will teach you how to pass the interview.

  • Now, before I get into the tips and the sample, interview questions and answers.

  • A very warm welcome to this tutorial.

  • My name is Richard McMunn.

  • That's me there, the bald chap in the center!

  • I've been helping people to pass interviews for about 20 years now, been extremely successful

  • at it.

  • And I always focus on giving you top scoring answers to the answers that I'm going to give

  • you during this tutorial.

  • Focus on the fact that you don't have any experience.

  • So, please do stick around.

  • Watch it from beginning to end.

  • Please SUBSCRIBE by clicking the red button below the video, and that way you won't miss

  • out on any of the weekly tutorials I'm uploading!

  • And also, I'd very much appreciate it if you gave the video a like.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you very much.

  • So, how do you pass an interview with no experience?

  • How do you pass it?

  • Well, we need to make sure you focus on the following three things.

  • So take notes, watch and listen.

  • And by the end of this, you will know how to pass or interviews.

  • So the three things.

  • Number one, the first thing, because you've got no experience, we have to make sure you

  • focus on your enthusiasm, your self motivation, and also your hunger for the job.

  • So take a note of those, your enthusiasm, your self motivation and your hunger for the

  • job.

  • So if you think about how I'm trying to present this video to you, I'm trying to be upbeat

  • and positive.

  • That comes across in an attractive manner to people who are listening.

  • So, if you talk in this manner during your responses to the interview, then the interview

  • and the hiring manager will want to know more about you.

  • So when they say to you, tell me about yourself?

  • If you have no experience, this is something to include in your answer.

  • “I am hard working.

  • I am self-motivated, and I am committed to being the best I can be.

  • Now, the fact that I am new to this industry means you can show me everything you need

  • me to do and to the exact standard I must adhere to.”

  • That's a great statement to say!

  • If you have no experience for the first question, this is the first interview question.

  • Tell me about yourself? and you go “I’m hard working, I'm self-motivated and I am

  • committed to being the best I can be.

  • The fact that I am new to this industry means you can show me everything you need me to

  • do and to the exact standard I must adhere to.”

  • So that's powerful!

  • That's a great thing to say.

  • Now, the second thing we're going to focus on your enthusiasm, your self motivation and

  • your hunger.

  • The second thing, don't forget, you are someone who has no prior experience.

  • But on that basis, you can learn how to do things the right way.

  • And I cannot emphasize this enough.

  • As someone who has employed staff before, hiring managers and employers want people

  • who will do what they say they want to train them in a way that they will then go off and

  • do things to the right standard.

  • And sometimes people who have lots of job experience or work experience are so set in

  • their ways.

  • They find it difficult to change.

  • But you're going to be different because you've got no prior experience.

  • So then you can learn how to do things the right way.

  • So when they say to you at the interview, why should we hire you?

  • You don't need any prior experience to answer this question.

  • I would be saying – “You should hire me because I am effectively a fresh blank canvas

  • who has no bad habits and no preconceived ideas of this industry.

  • You can show me everything that needs to be done so that I get it right from the get go.

  • I'm ready to learn and I am hungry to succeed!”

  • So that's a powerful thing to say.

  • You don't need any experience.

  • You don't have to have worked before in order to say that.

  • So the third important thing that I want you to focus on, there is only one type of interview

  • question you will need to think carefully about answering, if you have no experience.

  • So there are three different types of interview question.

  • I'm going to come onto those now and then I'm going to give you some great answers if

  • you have no experience to help you pass your interview.

  • So just to reiterate, there is only one type of interview question that you might struggle

  • with and you'll need to think carefully about answering.

  • So the first kind of interview question, let's take a look at these three different types

  • of questions.

  • The first one is motivational interview questions.

  • You can answer these if you have no experience.

  • Tell me about yourself?

  • I've just covered that.

  • Why do you want this job?

  • What are your strengths?

  • What are your weaknesses?

  • Why should we hire you?

  • I've just covered that.

  • And also, where do you see yourself in five yearstime?

  • So you need no prior experience to answer that.

  • Know where do you see yourself in five yearstime?

  • Here's the answer to that question if you don't have any experience – “In five years

  • time, I see myself as a respected member of your team and also someone who can be relied

  • upon to do a brilliant job for the company.

  • I would also be happy to help you train up other people who joined the company in a similar

  • role to this one.”

  • So that shows that you want to be with them, which is what they want to hear basically.

  • But also, you’d be happy to help them train up other people in similar roles.

  • So the second type of interview questions are research based interview questions, which

  • you can easily answer.

  • These are the type of questions that go, Why do you want to work for our company?

  • What do you expect to be doing on a day to day basis?

  • And you would just read the job description and just recite that during your answer.

  • And then What do you know about our products and services?

  • Well, go on their website and have a look and tell them about their products and services.

  • So the third one, these are the ones that you will have to think carefully about answering.

  • And I'm going to tell you how to answer these.

  • These are the tough interview questions, behavioral type interview questions.

  • When have you worked as part of a team?

  • Well, if you've not worked as part of a team before, you've got nothing to give!

  • These are the difficult questions that we're going to really focus on in a second.

  • Describe a time when you've worked under pressure? or tell me about a time when you delivered

  • excellent customer service?

  • That is a real common interview question.

  • And you might be thinking, but I've never worked in customer service.

  • That does not matter.

  • So this is how you answer these questions.

  • And there's another one.

  • When have you worked under pressure to achieve a difficult task?

  • Which is similar to the second one.

  • So you have to give a specific time when you did these things.

  • So here's how to answer the question if you have no experience - When have you delivered

  • excellent customer service?

  • I'm gonna give you two example answers right now.

  • So the first one is – ‘Although this will be my first time of working in a customer

  • focused role, I do know how to deliver outstanding service to your customers.

  • And I also know how important this is to the success of your business whilst dealing with

  • your customers.

  • I would always smile.

  • I would always listen carefully to what the customer needs.

  • And I would carry out my duties in a fast and efficient manner so their experience of

  • your company is a positive and enjoyable one.

  • That means they will come back to us time and time again in the future.”

  • So you're saying, yes, you know, even though this is gonna be my first time of working

  • in a customer focused role, I do know how to deliver outstanding service.

  • So you're saying I know what to do, and you could you say that – “I've been on the

  • receiving end of brilliant service, and I've also been on the receiving end of poor service,

  • and I know what needs to be done.

  • Here's another example.

  • “I have been on the receiving end of both great and poor customer service, so I certainly

  • know what to do in this type of situation.

  • Whilst working for your company, someone who delivers great customer service is always

  • positive and enthusiastic.

  • They listen to the customer and they answer all of their questions and queries quickly

  • and efficiently.

  • They always check to see if the customer is happy with what they've done for them, and

  • they always leave a lasting and positive impression on the customer, so they return to the business

  • time and time again in the future.”

  • If you said that to me on that question, when have you delivered excellent customer service

  • and you've got no prior experience, I would be extremely impressed with the answer!

  • Take a look at another one.

  • Tell me about a time when you worked as part of a team?

  • Well, if you've never worked before, worked as part of a team.

  • A lot of people will go, well, I've not really done this before, but they don't back it up

  • with anything else.

  • But you're going to be different.

  • Here we go.

  • “I understand that without teamwork, you would not be able to deliver your services

  • to your customers, to the necessary standards or even on time.

  • And on that basis, everyone within a team must work together intently while focusing

  • on the team objectives.

  • This will be my first time as working as part of a team, and I would be looking forward

  • to listening carefully to the team brief, putting a plan in place to get the task completed

  • during the team task.

  • I would communicate with my work colleagues and support them in every way possible.

  • I'd be flexible in my approach to my work and also look for ways to make the team task

  • more effective and efficient.”

  • So you know what needs to be done in that kind of situation and that is just as good

  • as somebody who has experience.
