The interview is often the most important step in job hunting, and solid preparation often spells the difference between a job offer and a friendly good-bye handshake. This book, each page in the form of a Q & A flashcard, offers ideal preparation for that big interview. Questions likely to be asked by an interviewer are printed on one side, with proven answers printed on the reverse. The book is designed so that pages can be pulled out, selected and shuffled according to need, and used as flashcards for practice. Interviewers are notorious for asking a wide range of questions, and this book covers virtually all of them, with 200 Q & A cards that fall into a variety of categories - for instance: Work and Educations questions (What have you done?); Skills and Competencies questions (What can you do?); Personality/Goals questions (Who are you?); Behavioral/Situational questions (Can you tell a story?); Job Fit questions (Are you a match?); and, Torture/Trick questions (Can you take the heat?). The reverse side of each card tells why the question is asked, presents sample responses, and allows space to customize an answer.
Here is an unusual and effective job-hunting tool that will be valued by job applicants, career coaches/counselors, and college placement offices.
