Publisher's summary

Learn from my 20 years of interviewing and hiring people just like you, across multiple Fortune 500 companies.

Don't take my word for it - hear the real stories of how people landed their dream job with this information.

You're qualified for the job - it should be yours. Let me show you what goes through the head of the interviewer so you can use it to your advantage. An advantage others won't have.

I've captured a highly condensed set of recommendations in this book that will put you in the very small set of interviewees that will stand above other candidates.

Whether you are seeking an entry level or an experienced management position, these recommendations will give you the edge. I see "bad" behaviors across all levels of interviews, without candidates even being aware of what they are doing that prevents them from being hired.

You don't need to memorize 101 interview questions and answers.

You need actual experiences from the other side of the table to guide you.

Listen to hiring managers. Is the book you're reading now written by the person who decides to hire you, or by someone else involved in the process such as a recruiter or human resources role? If so, their guidance may get you an interview, but won't give you insight into what goes through the manager's head.

Good & quick approach

I liked the book overall. It was quick and to the point. Very spot on with interviews I have been on. I’ve seen others say it was “too common sense” to them. But I felt it was a good refresher and good info to know if you aren’t a pro at interviews. The Q&A examples are helpful and made me pause and think about my experiences and responses I would like to give in my interviews. My only disagreement is with cover letters. Yes, some big companies may not take the time to read them but a lot do. And if it took an extra 20-30 minutes to write one, just do it. I rather go above and beyond then look like I wasn’t prepared.

1st hand tips from someone who makes decides

It's great to get this first-hand information from a person who has made tones of hiring decisions and hence knows what's important in a job interview. You'll only learn the key points that are important.
The narrator does a fantastic job - very authentic.

Straightforward, helpful

I just finished this book and I am about to read it again. This book helped me pinpoint the mistakes I've been doing during my last few job interviews. I'm confident the outcome of the next ones will be different.
