Congratulations! In picking up Answering Tough Interview Questions for Dummies, you are about to embark on a journey that transforms you into the kind of high-caliber candidate who has employers fighting to hire you.
Perhaps you are on the lookout for your first job or trying to return to work. Maybe you are a seasoned executive trying to climb further up the corporate ladder of success. Or perhaps you have been foxed by tough interview questions in the past and simply want to know the secret to passing them with flying colours.
Whatever your situation, this book is aimed at you. While not rocket science, interviewing can still be darned hard work.
Interviewers use all manner of weird and wonderful questions and techniques designed to catch candidates out. And I should know I’ve interviewed candidates on behalf of employers ranging from investment banks and insurance companies to IT companies and airlines. And I’ve travelled up and down the country, observing interviewers in organizations as diverse as advertising and media companies, bailiffs, funeral homes, and private detective agencies.
Although everyone can get better at interviews, you need to invest a bit of hard work in making it happen. With that in mind, I assure you that absolutely anyone can improve their interview performance by leaps and bounds by understanding the rules of the interviewing game.
Enjoy working your way
through this book. And good luck in your next job interview!
