Book Review - Hired!

About the BookIn today’s tough economy, most people are too desperate to get any job, rather than seeking one that will provide the career satisfaction and growth they deserve. Worse, they treat the interview as an opportunity to focus on themselves. 

In HIRED! How to Use Sales Techniques to Sell Yourself On Interviews, Elinor Stutz asserts, “The interview is not about you; it’s about how well you will solve the company’s problems and fit in with the company culture.  This is the only way you will get a job you actually enjoy!”

Learning to persuade potential employers that the best candidate for the job is sitting right in front of them is key to landing that dream job. 

HIRED! is a must-read to learn:
    •    How to achieve the right mindset for successful interviewing.
    •    How to conduct specific research prior to the interview.
    •    The leadership skills required for advancing a two-way interview.
    •    Specific questions you must ask on the interview.
    •    Strategies for negotiation.
    •    How to steer conversation to learn what the company is seeking.

The goal of Hired! is to help job-seekers get the interviews they want and to make the most out of every interview. What works for one person might not work for another.  Making the style and approach unique is the key to winning an interview and hearing the word “Hired!”
