Alright, listen up, y’all. You wanna get a job at that there Netflix, huh? Well, it ain’t gonna be easy, let me tell ya. They got all sorts of fancy questions they gonna ask ya, and you gotta be ready. Don’t go in there lookin’ like a bump on a log, ya hear?
First thing’s first, they gonna wanna know if you fit in with their way of doin’ things. They got these “core values,” they call ’em. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but you gotta play along. Think about times you done somethin’ that shows you ain’t a lazy good-for-nothin’. Like, maybe you helped your neighbor fix his tractor, or you organized the church bake sale. Stuff like that. Gotta have stories ready, you see? They gonna ask ya, “Tell me about a time when…” and you better have somethin’ to say.
Now, gettin’ hired at Netflix, it’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig. Everybody and their brother wants to work there, so it’s gonna be tough. They say it’s “competitive.” That just means a whole lotta folks want the same job you do. So you gotta be better than the rest, see?
They got this whole process, like a dang obstacle course. First, they gonna look at your paper stuff, see if you even worth talkin’ to. Then, they gonna call ya on the phone. Don’t answer the phone with your mouth full, ya hear? If you pass that test, then you gotta go down there and talk to ’em face to face. And after all that, you still gotta talk to the people in charge of hirin’. Lordy, it’s a lot!
And let me tell ya somethin’ else. It ain’t just about havin’ the right answers. They want to see what kind of person you are. They call it “subjective.” Means they just kinda decide if they like ya or not. So be yourself, but be your best self, ya know? Don’t be slouchin’ in your chair and pickin’ your teeth.
- They might ask you things like, “Why you wanna work here?” Don’t just say, “‘Cause I need the money.” Tell ’em you love watchin’ their shows, or somethin’ like that.
- They might ask you about a time you messed up. Everybody messes up, so don’t try to hide it. Just tell ’em what you learned from it.
- And they might ask you about a time you had to work with someone you didn’t like. That’s a tricky one. Gotta be diplomatic, ya know? Don’t go badmouthin’ nobody.
Now, if you’re tryin’ to be a recruiter for them, that’s a whole different ball game. They want someone who knows how to find good people. They want you to know where to look, which companies got the good workers. It’s like lookin’ for a good watermelon in the patch – you gotta know what to look for.
Folks who done interviewed there before, they say there’s all sorts of questions they ask. Hundreds of ’em! So you gotta be prepared for anything. They might ask you how you’d handle a tough situation, or how you’d motivate your team. Just try to be honest and give ’em the best answer you can.
And here’s a little secret. Netflix, they like to show off their way of doin’ things. So if you can learn a little somethin’ from how they interview, you can use it yourself. It’s like learnin’ a new recipe from your neighbor – you can take it home and make it your own.
So, there you have it. Ain’t no guarantee you gonna get the job, but if you follow this advice, you got a better chance than most. Just remember to be yourself, be prepared, and don’t forget to brush your teeth before you go. Good luck to ya!
Now go on and git! You got this!
