After being laid off in September 2024 due to company restructuring and broader economic issues—not because of my performance—I struggled to get back on my feet. I had a few interviews before 2025, but none progressed to a second round. I started to feel stuck.
Then I discovered CareerVidz on YouTube, and one particular video (link) completely changed my approach. The concept of the 30-60-90 day plan was totally new to me, but the way CareerVidz explained it made perfect sense. I created my own version of the plan, tailored to the company I was applying for, and did in-depth research to align it with their goals.
I also applied the SEAT method to craft a strong, attention-grabbing introduction. CareerVidz's advice was surprisingly practical and actionable. I did mix and match some strategies to suit my personal style and the company culture, but the foundation came from the videos.
In the interview, the panel was genuinely impressed by how thoroughly I had prepared. I described myself as "proactive," and they saw that clearly. I demonstrated that mindset again during a follow-up coding activity, which solidified their impression. As a result, they skipped the second round entirely—which was originally scheduled for two months later—and offered me the job on the spot.
Now, CareerVidz's interview strategies are rooted in my mindset. I’ve grown so much professionally, and I owe a big part of that to these videos. Highly recommend for anyone serious about leveling up their interview game.
Thank you for sharing your success with us! I am pleased we were able to help you, and congratulations on getting the job! Well done for preparing well for your interview. Thank you again, and good luck in your new job.
Best wishes, Richard
