  Book Information

Don't be caught off guard in an important interview - this book will thoroughly prepare you and help you perform better under the spotlight. It includes: 50 examples of the kind of answers interviewers really want to hear; tips on how to prepare for and conduct yourself at the interview; and insider advice from an HR professional with over 20 years' experience."For twenty years I have been on the side of the desk where sits that scariest of dragons: the interviewer. I have seen candidates who have inspired me almost to offer them the job there and then, and not let them leave the building until they've signed a contract. I've seen candidates excuse themselves to go and throw up due to nerves. I've seen candidates who have tried to convince me that they were doing me the greatest favour in the world by deigning to come for interview. I've seen candidates who I thought were mute, such was their reticence. I've seen candidates whose vocabulary ranged all the way from "yes" to "no". I've seen candidates who gave me such detailed answers to my questions that I was on the verge of losing the will to live. The sheer variation of quality in the performance of interviewees has prompted me to distil what I've learned into one, manageable body of advice which, I hope, gives you the edge when it comes to getting that job."
