"This is not just another book on how to prepare for a job
interview. Rather than providing a set of intimidating rules and
checklists, this author cuts through the fog of the interviewing
process and illuminates the concrete steps you can take to get to
yes. Drawing on his in-depth knowledge of how organizations make
hiring decisions, Sorcher has captured the essence of what it takes
to showcase your talents—and up the odds of a
callback."
— George P Hollenbeck, PhD, organizational
psychologist
"This book cuts through the convention of a job interview and targets exactly what a company wants to know about a job
candidate."
— Sanford Litvack, former Vice Chairman, the Walt Disney
Company
Description
You've graduated college and you're ready to make your way in the
real world. After putting a resume together and applying
everywhere, you finally have an interview lined up. Now all that
stands between you and a job offer is the person who will interview
you.
The problem: many interviewers aren't very good at what they do.
They don't know what they should ask, and they have no idea how to
interpret the answers they get.
While you can't prevent the person on the other side of the desk
from asking uninformed questions, you can still provide the answers
they need to hear—the ones that tell them what you're capable
of.
Beat-the-Odds Interviews will show you how.
