And if we administer a drug screen or background check are you okay with that? Is that today?
We would start, we could possibly, no. Hey guys! Today we are gonna do a job interview
in English. I have with me here today my cousin Heather, you may have heard me talk about
her in some of my other videos. She is a job recruiter, she interviews people for a living
and so this video goes out to my friend Eduardo from Brazil who wanted to hear how we do it
here, a job interview in English. So thank you so much for being here Heather. Thanks,
thanks for having me. Yes, first off what is it that you look for in people that you are
interviewing? So for the position, I just look for obviously passion, for someone
genuinely who really wants to you know be a part of our team and has a heart for fitness. Umm and
obviously the skills, work history, obviously adds to it but honestly a really big part
is just their demeanor, and just knowing that they really genuinely want to be a part of
our team. Okay, that's awesome. So we made up a company, I will be interviewing for a
job as a personal trainer at "Tight Buns" so let's go ahead Heather and get started.
Okay, great. Um so just a couple of questions first, um so have you ever worked at a gym
before? Yes, I have. And where was that? So, I worked at Sportsclub for a few years in
the city and then I also worked at a church gym for several years. Okay, great and you
are 18 or over? Just a little. And if we administor a drug screen or background check, are you
okay with that? Yes, sure. All right. So our hours of operation are 8am to 10pm, are you flexible
to work between these times? Umm, I do have some kids at home, but they recently started
school which is why I am looking for a new job. So ideally if I could do the 9-5, that
would be best. Okay, that is something we can consider. So do you have to take off any
time that you know of in the next 6 months? Not that I know of. All right and you are
a certified trainer? Yes, I am. Okay and um if needed can you provide a copy. A what?
A copy of the certification? Ohhh my certification? Yes, of course! Okay, all right great and
you are authorized to work in the United States? Yes. All right, so share with me what you
know about Tight Buns. So, I know that you guys have been around for about 10 years,
I recently started coming to your gym a year ago to take yoga classes and have loved it.
I've seen just a great, um family atmosphere of people who seem to really love their job.
Great and how did you hear about our position? I saw one of your guys flyers that you had
on the door. Okay, awesome. So describe your current job or your last job and responsibilities.
So, right now I am a stay at home mom like I said, the last, do you want me to describe the last
time I was working at a gym? Yeah. Okay. So I worked at a church gym, I owned my own personal
training company there. Awesome. Yeah so I would work with clients usually in the mornings
from about 6am to noon and help them reach their fitness goals. Okay and why are you
currently looking for a new position? Principally because my kids are getting older, they're
in school now and I'm looking just for something that I could do that could contribute financially
to my family as well as um help make me a better person. Okay, great. So what is a major
reason in you wanting to be a part of our Tight Buns team? Yeah, I think like I mentioned
before just seeing the family atmosphere and every time I come in I just feel like, I wanna
stay here! I love it. Okay and can you name some skills that you have acquired, what skills
have you acquired or built that you think you can bring to our team? Yeah, well as I
mentioned I am a certified personal trainer, um I am currently taking a yoda, haha a yoga
certification course. So I think between those things I could bring my skills to help people
um improve their level of health and fitness. Okay. Um and where do you see yourself career
wise in the next 5 years? Hopefully having tight buns and no I could see myself, I know
you guys are looking to expand and open up other branches and that is something I would
love to partner with. I would love to grow in my skills here as well as open up a new
branch for tight buns. All right, and tell me about a time when you had to adjust to
a change, um you know at your last gym, anything that you had to adapt to. What was the outcome?
Yeah. Yeah, so I was the only personal trainer at the church gym for a while and then they
brought on a couple more staff and so, as trainers, and so I had to learn to work with
those trainers and almost become a family with them instead of competing against them
for clients, so we started to come together as a team and strategize ways that we could
help people as a whole and as a unit. Okay, great and then tell me about a time when you
had to solve a problem, maybe a difficult client. What would you have done differently,
what was the outcome? Um, so I had a client once and I was working with him for several
months, he was awesome and he got behind on his payments, about $400 behind and so I started
to think like I can't keep working with him but now we are kind of friends because we
have been working together for months, but I had to just tell him, like look I need you
to get caught up on your payments before we can do any future personal training sessions
together. Okay, great. Well Camille I think that you would be a great fit to our team,
you have the experience. You seem to you know genuinely have a passion for fitness, so um we do have
a few other candidates but i definitely will be back in touch with you. But it was really
great to meet you! Thanks for coming in. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Yes. I nailed
