Buy this if you hate interviewing!!

I hate interviews. Hate them, hate them. I hate talking about myself and honestly whenever I’m in an interview and a manager asks me a question, my mind goes blank and it’s all i can do not to say “I don’t know. I’ve never done anything.” (I have over 20 years of work experience).
This book taught me how to answer STAR based interview questions better than any tutorial videos I’d watched and showed me how to prep for questions. Rather than a list of questions, it gave me scenarios that I could pull from. (There is a list but it’s really exhaustive and I got anxiety just looking at all the things they could ask me).
I still have one more week to prepare before my interview but I feel like I have enough great stories that I should be able to nail (or close to nail), this interview. And this is coming from someone with crippling anxiety. I once went silent in an interview for a full 90 seconds (as the interviewer was yelling at me to speak lol). Which is forever in interview silence time.

Great book. Buy it. And the accompanying PDF is amazing. Teaching you how to phrase your answers.
Or you know what, don’t buy it. Leave the jobs for me. ;)
