Introduction
The
hiring process and the job interview as they are conducted today in too many
job sites do not necessarily end with the hiring of the most qualified
person. Just like in any existing job, the interesting projects and the promotions
do not necessarily go to those most qualified, but to those who present
themselves better.
During
a job interview, candidates are subject to tremendous stress. They are
judged on what they say and how they say it. The job seeker has to answer
specific questions and must also display knowledge, experience and sought-after
character traits. In addition, he/she should be gathering information
about the job and the company. The candidate who performs the best in
this complex situation usually gets the job.
It
is important to understand that a resume, a PMP certification, a degree,
networking or other means can get you an interview, but only excelling at the
job interview will get you the job. It is during the job interview that
you must prove that you can actually do the job and that you want to do
it. If you perform badly in the interview, no matter how good your resume
looks or how good your references are, it is most likely that you will not get
the job.
The
job interview is the critical gateway to a new position, and a job seeker
cannot be prepared enough for it. This book will give you the questions
that are most likely to be asked, the understanding of why they are asked and
how to avoid mistakes. You will be prepared for the interview process and
will understand the concept behind behavioral interviews. Most
importantly, it will give you the right answers to all those frequently asked
questions so that you will excel in the interview, quickly getting the job
offer. In short, this book will help you perform in a stellar way.
