An interview is key part of a job search, and an applicant skilled in dealing with interviews is the most likely candidate to receive the job offer. While the resume and the cover letter are the basic components of a job application, the interview is the final stage of screening and offers you a chance to show employers that you are more than just your education and job history.
An interview is not the time to see how well you can answer questions on the spot, and preparation is key to ensuring the interview is a success. This is the time to convince the employer that your strengths, qualifications, and achievements make you the right person for the job.
Preparation involves researching the organization and job, planning appropriate answers to the most commonly asked questions, and polishing your skills-especially the ones needed for good communication.
This book explains everything you need to know about interviewing. It covers every detail from body language to attire and first interview to second interview.
It also includes comprehensive list of questions along with suggestions on how to answer them the right way. Several techniques, including the STAR and CAR methods, are discussed at length. Above all, it provides sample answers to all the most popular job interview questions in 2019.
