Recommendation

Job-finding expert Richard H. Beatty approaches a job interview like a general planning a battle. He talks strategy, from preparation to planning to execution. The target: making a good impression. He provides tips on what to do to win the job and how to avoid making mistakes that doom the interview and plunge you into instant defeat. While some suggestions seem like common sense, you can’t have too much of that in a competitive market. The book is particularly strong in its coverage of specific questions to anticipate and the types of responses to offer. getAbstract.com recommends this book to people who just showed up in the job market and to those in the early stages of waging this war. Most well-established job soldiers already command these skills - otherwise they’d be on the sidelines.

Take-Aways

  • To interview successfully, first research the company, job and corporate culture.
  • The "Perfect Candidate" approach is an especially effective interview strategy. Ask indirectly about the job’s ideal qualifications, and then show you have them.
  • Demonstrate how you might do the job better than others have in the past.
