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.

Really a significant help if you
It really helped me understand the interview process as it has been years since I interviewed. What I thought was just everyday work is in reality what I should be discussing in the interview process. Really a significant help if you haven't been in the job-hunting market for a while - like me. Or even if you're seeking promotion from within.

Good but overly focused on sales jobs
Good tips that I will use for my job interviews but the focus is very much on sales roles, as many self-help books I find. Not all the tips apply for roles in let's say science, engineering, medicine or other specialized areas.

Total honesty and accuracy!
Finally, someone in the placement industry had the guts to tell it straight without all the "crap." Government work programs have people on computers sending out resumes online all day long - seldom making any progress except with the lowest paying jobs, if at all. It is what you think it is and is worth the investment. It doesn't cost much and can be listened to anywhere.

Better questions yield better results.
It provides a good template for questions that are not your ordinary run of the mill type. If mediocrity is your goal, keep using the same old questions, if progress in your organization is important, learn to incorporate this book into your questioning procedure.
