Great way to prepare for upcoming interview

I live in Houston and initially talked to the author, Robin Kessler, about doing some practice interviews before an important interview. Because I was temping at the time and couldn't afford it, she suggested I read this book to prepare myself. I wasn't too excited about reading a book, but was very glad that I did. I have never studied so hard for an interview before and didn't really understand the need to prepare myself in such a thorough way. However, it was well worth it-this book was a quick read-broken down into bite size pieces and really helped me come up with a way to take my experience, write it down in an outline, and be able to speak it clearly in an interview setting. I also liked the fact that she suggested looking at the job description to pull key/buzz words out and turn those into competencies to be focused on. I took those competencies and found 2 or 3 examples from my experience and had those examples in mind while in the interview. It worked and I felt prepared. Definitely worth the read and price for any interview setting. Thanks, Robin!

Pretty concise and examples help your tailor your own presentation

I like it get to the point quickly and didn't much introductions (e.g. entry level stuffs for beginners) I used it to write down the important points to present myself during interview. I also used it together with "Acing the Interview: How to Ask and Answer the Questions That Will Get You the Job"

Using these 2 books, I organized good notes for the interviews, presented myself clearly and got a job. I originally though these kind of books are for people with no experiences, I was wrong. They are actually helpful, you will find a lot of things you haven't paid attention before and the concepts they have are pretty updated.

and for the peon?

I just don't think that the people who do the interviewing and certainly not this gentleman understand that when you are a secretary or a receptionist, that you do not have this long list of accomplishments. My biggest accomplishment is answering a 36 line phone.
When you have a deadline and you have to wait for the copy repairman to show up so you can finish the presentation? What can you do about it? You sit and wait because your boss won't let you go to Kinkos.
Or when you tell them that lunch didn't arrive for the members of the Board and you had to find transportation to the restaraunt and lunch reservations at the last minute, no one seems to think that is as great as winning the Nobel Peace Prize or creating a vacine for Polio.
Competency based interviews are for the birds.

Excellent book

This book is so easy to read and apply. The strategies and guidance helped me to get my first job out of college. I'm about to go on another job search and plan on reading the book all over again. This book is definitely required reading for any serious job-seeker.

To the author, Robin Kessler: Thank you for writing this book! It's a keeper for a life-time.

Have you ever wondered why you didn't get a job offer after an important interview?

People interviewing for jobs today often fail because they are using yesterday's strategies. They haven?t realized that the best employers have changed the way interviews are done, and it now takes a different strategy to succeed. Competency-Based Interviews shows today's candidates a new, more targeted way to prepare for the tough interviews based on the competencies that the most sophisticated employers are looking for.

Competency-Based Interviews offers you a new and more effective way to handle the tough new interviews so that you will emphasize the knowledge, skills and abilities that you have and that employers need. Most sophisticated U.S. and international employers are using competency-based systems to recruit, interview and select employees. Corporations such as American Express, Anheuser Busch, BP, Coca-Cola, Energizer, Federal Express, IBM, and Pfizer are all looking for specific competencies.

Preparing for a competency-based interview will give you the strategy you need to:

? Be selected for the most competitive positions.
? Win the best job at a new organization.
? Get a great first job or internship.
? Be chosen for that critical promotion in your current organization.
? Take control of your career path.
? Increase your salary.
? Get more interesting assignments and more interesting work

Most interviewees don't know how to be successful when they are being interviewed by an organization looking for key competencies. Few candidates answer questions so they demonstrate their own critical competencies. Competency-Based Interviews will teach you what you need to master this tough new interview style and give the interviewers the answers that will win you the job.
