Publisher's summary

The number-one rule of the career search is that you should break the rules.

Getting a job you really want with a company you love is something we all dream about, but few of us ever achieve it. Good jobs are hard to come by, and competition is fierce.

What if there was a way to make an incredible impression, stand out from the competition, and win an interview for a job for which you didn’t even apply?

Learn what 90 percent of your competition doesn’t know.

In this audiobook, you will learn:

  • How to land an interview without even applying for the job
  • How to find and contact decision-makers at all levels of the company
  • How to make a lasting impression and convince them you deserve a place with their company

You will become a pro at interviewing:

  • You’ll learn how to identify and avoid the most common mistakes that many of your competitors are making
  • You’ll be able to understand the hidden motivation between many of the questions your interviewers ask you
  • You’ll master the most effective ways to land an interview, make an excellent impression in the interview, and follow up after the interview
  • You’ll be able to crush the most commonly butchered answers to questions like “Tell me about yourself” and “What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?”.

This audiobook also contains more than 50 practice interview questions, including:

  • Situational and behavioral questions (Tell me about a time when...)
  • Questions you should ask the interviewer
  • Difficult questions and how to give a perfect answer (like, “Why were you fired from your last job?”)

Discover a new way to approach your career search. You don’t have to be at the mercy of recruiters, and your resume doesn’t need to get lost in a pile of hundreds of others just like it. Even if you lack experience or face massive amounts of competition, you can get your dream job.

Effective, informative book

I purchased this book, not for use as an interviewee, but an interviewer. I wanted to learn better ways to meet with potential employees and assess their potential. I learned that, as well as seeing the positive, thoughtful answers that can be a benefit to any business interaction, as well as personal interactions. From that standpoint, it's an excellent, effective book.

I love it!

I do think this is one of the better choices of so many audio books out there on this topic that everyone will face at some point in their lives. Excellent overview for job searching. It includes resources, explanations about how to use them, and great tips on specific areas of concern within a job search.

Buy this book! Whether hiring or looking to be h

More recently, I have been recommending this book to people that are looking so they can be better prepared for interviews. Not just prepared but in many cases better prepared than the people doing the interviewing and "raising" the level of the interview and helping to set themselves apart. The icing on the cake is this is not just the author's opinion but he back it all up with years of real-world experience.

I am a true believer that one is capable of succes

I am a true believer that one is capable of success and greatness if she or he is willing to put the time and effort. That is what this book rekindled for me, that if I believe enough if I fight hard enough, if I put my mental strength into what I want, into my dreams then my chances of making them into reality are that much closer.

Excellent career advice

Job searching can be very discouraging and overwhelming especially when the listed job ends up being way better on paper compared to interview. This book really helps to be aware and prepared how to come across as the best candidate.

It's pleasant to listen to this book.

It's pleasant to listen to this book. By the end of every story, you really do understand how much you are capable of achieving, and you feel motivated to take action. I can not express how much the principles have impacted my life in a positive way. I highly recommend this book, not just because of the secrets, but as an inspirational, motivational, and educational resource.

Straight and to the point

Mostly practical and actionable advice in a nutshell. I am concerned about any for-profit company that would allow an applicant to work for free for five weeks. I don't believe this is legal in the United States and it certainly isn't ethical. I wouldn't do it.

Learning Book!

Lots of great information along with specific activities to complete that will allow you to go into your interview with full confidence. It should be required reading for every college student, as it's the only interviewing book you'll ever need.
