Interviewers PRESSURE You? This is How You WIN (from former CEO)

WHAT IF THEY ASK YOU ...AGAIN?
THEY ASKED THE SAME INTERVIEW QUESTION TWICE...HERE'S WHAT I SAID.
Job interviews often follow a familiar rhythm - until they don’t. Just when you think you’ve delivered a solid answer, the interviewer circles back and asks the same question again. It can feel like a trap, and for many candidates, especially those early in their careers, it’s an unsettling moment. The pressure is on! The answer was rehearsed, delivered, and done. So why the repeat? And more importantly, what are they really looking for? This video dives into one of the most uncomfortable dynamics in job interviews: when your answer doesn’t land and the question comes back, slightly reworded or more insistently. It’s a moment designed to apply pressure - sometimes subtle, sometimes direct - in the hope that you’ll reveal more than you intended. Whether it’s about salary expectations, weaknesses, or other high-stakes questions, the way you handle that pressure says a lot. There’s a common misconception that giving the “right” answer once is enough. But some questions aren’t meant to be answered cleanly - they’re meant to test your composure, your boundaries, and your instincts under stress. Understanding that dynamic is key. So is knowing how to hold your ground without creating unnecessary tension. This discussion focuses on navigating those repeat-question scenarios with confidence, clarity, and professionalism. It’s not about being evasive or confrontational - it’s about being prepared for moments where your first answer isn’t accepted and knowing how to respond with consistency and calm. Whether you’re interviewing now or preparing for your next opportunity, this is a crucial part of the process to understand - not just for your success, but for your peace of mind.

There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner! 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 job seekers, entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful in their careers. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, more employed job seekers, 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, and a master's degree in finance.

I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. I have also mentored startup founders and teach business and HR 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?

Thank you for being here and reading this, best of luck, and have yourself an amazing day!
