Fearless Job Interview

I have been a stay at home mom for the past seven years.
However, my youngest will be going to school this upcoming year, so I am trying to get my ducks in a row to re-enter the workforce. Gulp.

One of my biggest concern is the interview process. It's just been so long! All I have to say is thank goodness I found this book. You can tell how experienced the author is, and his advice is truly invaluable.

I will definitely be reading this book several more times before applying for any jobs. Everyone should read this.
I will be gifting a copy to anyone who is looking for a job.

I purchased the new Insider's Guide to the World of Pharmaceutical Sales, 8th Ed. two weeks ago. Two days after reading the book, I landed my first interview. I sailed through that interview and the three interviews that followed. Nothing surprised me because every single question I was asked is in this book. I was so-o-o prepared! I received my job offer yesterday and my head is still spinning. I'm so excited!

My recommendation to anyone who wants to be a pharmaceutical sales rep is to get your hands on this book just as fast as you can!

Instead of memorizing canned answers to questions like, "Tell me about yourself," Nick shows you how to completely take over the interview and conduct it on your terms.

The book's thesis is this: Do the job in the interview. It's a revolutionary concept and deceptively simple. If the book is at all repetitive, as some reviewers have complained, it's only to make sure that you really get the concept.

Once you do "get it" and follow Nick's advice, you will literally have no competition for the job you're interviewing for.

I know this to be true for 3 reasons:

1) Nick is an experienced headhunter, not some "ivory tower" type with no concept of how the hiring game is played.

2) I used his techniques myself (without knowing them, because it was 15 years ago) when I used to work for other people. And I was able to get hired rather easily by "doing the job" right there, in the interview.

3) In my book, "51 Ways to Find a Job Fast -- Guaranteed," I write about similar proven techniques, such as, "How to start work before the interview."

Nick's book is really worth your while. I recommend it to all my clients and friends.

In a fast changing and very unstable work market the idea of changing jobs can be scary for most of us. Though the idea of working simply for your paycheck and no other reason is sad, it is what most people are forced to do  today. Unfortunately there is nothing safe and secure about the jobs we hold, so why forget your dreams for a job you hate? "No More Dreaded Mondays" by Dan Miller is a book that challenges you to stop that kind of thinking and working and delve into what you truly want and go for it. Giving practical advice on how to start a new career or business, revamp the old 9-5 hrs by learning to bring new life and excitement to the jobs we have, stop blaming others or thinking that circumstances are controlling you and to make the most of the career you have. No matter your age or career field you can find some inspiration in this book.

This was a nice and easy read, chock-full of good common sense advice. The author explains what types of questions to expect at a job interview and how to respond honestly yet also in a way that will help you get the job. Explaining the process from the interviewer's perspective should minimize the fear and nervousness that most of us share at a job interview. Knowing what an employer is looking for and why is useful information. This is a must-read if you have little experience with job interviews. I also found this book very helpful, and I am beyond mid-career point. I would recommend this book for any job seeker. Don't let the short length or informal tone fool you. This is a rare find in the job interview book genre. Lots of real-world substance without a lot of distracting filler.

In his new book, Fearless, Max Lucado inspires us to a fearless life. Using real-life scenarios, Bible-based solutions, and a fiery faith, he teaches how we can overcome any fear. Be prepared to be challenged, put feet to your faith, and move forward in new and amazing ways. You'll be so blessed you'll want to share these insights with others. Fearless conveniently includes a group discussion guide for just that purpose. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to grow and help others grow in their faith.

Interviews can be difficult for both the person seeking the opening as well as the person asking the questions.  Just how stressful depends on your perspective of the meeting at hand, but one thing we can be certain about...we all feel at least a smidge better when preparations have been made in advance.  How does one prepare for an interview?  You have your normal routine...dress for success, bring a resume, be familiar with where you are going so as to meet at the appropriate time, etc, but what about anticipating the questions they may ask?  Having "prepared" answers to common inquires?  Or even what questions you will ask of the interviewer?  These topics and more are well covered within the pages of this book.  Through preparation, we reach a certain comfort level with which we can work through stressful events.  Tactics suggested range include the STAR(L) method for answering questions based upon your experience, knowing what topics are off limits, the suggestion of staging mock interviews, and even a list of general suggested questions for your part in the proceedings.

A powerful guide to add to your arsenal of skills for both the interviewer and interviewee, authors Gary W. Capone and Mark Henderson have brought together the information needed to meet your next career goal.  Through both informative text and practical exercises, every reader should be able to raise their performance level in these situations.  Who knows...maybe you'll land then job of your dreams...if not, you'll at least walk away with the confidence to see that THEY missed out on a great opportunity.

I'm a game designer by trade. The changeable nature of my profession has taken me to six different states. As a result, I've been to more than my share of job interviews.

This experience familiarized me with a list of questions and situations that I came to dread in every interview. Kelley's book addresses all these issues and more.

She describes how to present yourself in a positive way, and bring facts to back it up. Those questions I learned to dread are all addressed in the book, one by one, with tips on how to deal with them.

You'll find extra tips for how to behave, dress, and generally present yourself for the best results. Even in the sub-casual-dress world of game developers, I discovered new ways to make an impact.

There's a plan for before the interview as well, describing how to prepare with anecdotes from your own career. There's even a follow-up chapter on taking care of negotiation and offers.

This book is a no-nonsense, practical guide to the harrowing interview process, and any reader would be sure to gain a big measure of self-confidence from it.

Interviewing for a job isn't rocket science but even a rocket scientist can learn something from this book. It may be to your advantage to turn the tables on your interviewer and get something for yourself out of the interview.
The Most Important Questions to Ask on Your Next Interview presents a different and useful way to approach your next job interview. Most people prepare for an interview by re-reviewing their resume and trying to guess what questions they will be asked and practicing responses to those questions. Kendall Blair proposes some important additional steps.
 In most interviews you will have an opportunity to ask questions also. The questions you ask may be as important as the questions that are asked of you. Kendall explains how you can use questions to help steer the interview into areas that you are strongest and to help avoid areas where you are weak. She proposes questions that will help you determine if this company, and more importantly, this specific job is really right for you. This book points out that even if a company may be willing to hire you, that doesn't mean that you would enjoy working there.
The book discusses the type of preparation that you need to do prior to going into the interview. It points out some of the things that you should know about the company and the job that will help you stand out in the mind of the interviewer.
Many of the questions that you read about in the book are very logical but very few people going into an interview have the forethought preparation and poise to plan and ask the questions. The book is based on interviews with real hiring agency personnel and company leaders and gives insight into their thoughts.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is planning to look for a new job in the near future.

Greetings Reviewer,
This devotional for Job Seekers in this still slowly recovering 2016 economy, offers a level of hope in supporting themselves and/or their families through God's perspective, the Bible.  We are all seeking something bigger than the 'reality of life.' Sure, a job helps with our self-worth, self-esteem, and self-motivation, as well as, supporting those we love. The purpose of a job is partly to place food on the table, a roof over our/families heads, something to challenge our mind-heart-soul to do and be something more than the some of our mineral-muscle-mental parts.  As a former supervisor/manager, I found the value of a job is in the positive relationships we build with our God, family, friends, fellowships, co-workers, clients/customers, and management. Through our jobs we learn about ourselves. A job can test our perseverance, develop our character, and offer us hope in the form of trust and faith.
So, my prayers are with you, Job Seeker, that God blesses your Preparation, Plans, Direction and Presentation as part of that laborious job seeking process toward being hired into that career that complements your past experiences, knowledge, education, abilities, skills, and spiritual purpose in life.  <><

As Liberians we are often afraid to speak about our illnesses whatever it may be for fear of rejection or being stigmatized. In FEARLESS, Maimah Karmo bears her heart and soul not only about her battle with breast cancer, but also about her struggle with her relationship and finally finding her purpose in life.
 Maimah, I commend and applaud you for your strength and courage and for inspiring me!
 "Being Fearless isn't about living without fear; it is about jumping into life despite your fear-and learning that fear is only an illusion after all." Maimah Karmo

Over the past twelve months, I have both interviewed for jobs and interviewed over two dozen potential employees.  Only after reading this book did I realize how much I had to learn, whether being interviewed or trying to discern the quality of those I am interviewing.  301 Smart Answers is an easy read, but filled with so many inciteful comments on how to effectively control the interview process, communicate your strengths and avoid the common pitfalls.  I am strongly recommending this book for anyone who plans to sit on either side of the desk.

have been in & out of temporary admin work in the financial services industry since 2007, the cusp of the "credit crises". In addition had been solely  relying on agencies and job-boards to secure permanent work. I had also attempted to network at each employer to no avail whilst temping.

It was early 2013, and was still yet to secure a job interview for a permanent role and I had now got the point where I was on the verge giving up and accepting that I will never ever land consistent permanent work let alone work in my dream role (Hedge Fund - Trading Desk Assistant). Then whilst searching media sources on the "hidden job market" I came across Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 3.0.

To put it quite bluntly, if all job hunters out there got the book and used it to the letter, 95% of recruitment firms especially in the Financial Hub of London would go out of business. Their would be more self-reliance by the job seeker whether seasoned or University Graduate, or Secondary School leaver. This is VERY VERY VERY powerful stuff.

I have the book, however, have chosen to go further and use the home-study course as I prefer the greater level of support available.

Its a very exciting time for me as now it is no longer if I will get a permanent job, its now just a matter of time before I will land my dream role!

The last time I embarked on a job hunt 12 years ago it took one interview, maybe two tops, to clinch the deal and get a job offer. Not so in 2012! Companies have gotten much more comprehensive in their hiring processes, and interviewers seem a lot savvier in the questions they ask. The hiring process often takes at least four interviews, and they are all asking tougher questions. Candidates have to work a lot harder now and wow a lot more people.  This book helps give you the tools to stand out from the crowd.  It helps you formulate a plan to prepare for your meetings with the decision makers and elicit information about the job and company in a way that shows off your strengths to excel over others.  This is a must have reference for any job seeker in today's market!  I'm happy to report that about 6 weeks after purchasing the book, 5 interview meetings and contact with 9 company managers, I landed a great new position.

There are so many job search guides and techniques and this one stands OUT among that overwhelming crowd. The book is really good at making the reader feel excited and confident about their newfound knowledge which is great for job seekers in these tough and uncertain times. The interviewing techniques are some of the most valuable I've come across. Being prepared for the aggressive interviewer is invaluable. I also found that by coupling this book with Meagan Holub's The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a massage Therapist that I was much more prepared go out and get work. Megan's book emphasizes points on how to really build the clientele you want and how to take the jobs that are really going to support your overall goals and growth. She even talks about the ever important dressing for success and advertising! Together I found these books made me feel unstoppable! Better gig, more pay, greater rewards HERE I COME!
