What does a New York courtroom have to do with your next job interview? More than you think!!

I recently spent 2 weeks at jury duty, so I sat down with Kerrie Muhammad, JD to learn how interviewing for a job is just like arguing a case in court. Kerrie is a recruiter, Certified Interview Coach, founder of Command the Interview™, and former New York prosecutor with 20 years of experience interviewing victims and witnesses. Kerrie has seen the interview process from every angle, and after listening to this episode, you'll never interview the same way again.

Remember, you're not the candidate. You're the prosecutor!

We cover:

• How Kerrie went from New York prosecutor to helping candidates land jobs with confidence
• What interviewing victims and witnesses taught her about successful communication
• The hidden factors interviewers consider that most candidates never think about
• What qualities make a candidate a top contender, straight from a recruiter who has pushed applications through to hiring committees
• The art of persuasion in interviews: how to get into the room and get into their heads
